Fugue Release Date In HSR – Honkai: Star Rail

Dec 23, 2024

As an ardent fan of the captivating world of Honkai: Star Rail, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of none other than the enigmatic Foxian lady herself, Fugue (or should I say, Tingyun). Her journey through the celestial rails has been shrouded in mystery since her possession by Phantylia, leaving fans yearning for her return. And finally, the day has come! The Fugue release date in HSR is upon us, and it’s no less than a Christmas miracle – December 25, 2024 (local server time), to be exact.

As a film enthusiast, I must confess that the name “Fugue” for the five-star character Tingyun in Honkai: Star Rail might seem peculiar to many, as it’s not a moniker she uses herself, especially during the Trailblaze Mission. A brief investigation, though, uncovers an intriguing truth: “fugue,” in essence, represents losing one’s identity. This revelation is incredibly fitting for the Foxian lady in Honkai: Star Rail, as her true identity as Tingyun was usurped by Phantylia.

Despite the persistent rumors that Tingyun is still alive, many players have eagerly anticipated her return, questioning how she managed to survive through the destructive corruption. As the game reveals her means of recovery from possession, Tingyun is now a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail. For those patiently waiting for the 5-star Tingyun, here’s when you can expect her release date in HSR.

Fugue Release Date In HSR – Honkai: Star Rail

Fugue Release Date: December 25, 2024 – January 14, 2025 (Phase 2)
Fugue Featured Banner – Debut
Firefly Featured Banner – First Rerun

In the game known as HSR, the launch date for Fugue is scheduled for December 25, 2024 (local server time). Three weeks from now, on January 14, 2025, the current 2.7 banner will conclude, marking the end of this version and the start of a fresh chapter – Honkai: Star Rail 3.0. Following the debut on Sunday, Fugue will make her appearance, sharing the spotlight with Firefly who will be having her first re-run banner.

Fugue, a Fire-Nihility character, possesses helpful debuffing capabilities that support allies. She enables allied characters to decrease an enemy’s Defense stat without any specific conditions, and additionally applies a “ghostly exo-Defense” that can trigger repeated Break and Super Break damage multiple times.

Using her ability, Fugue amplifies an ally’s Break Effect and enables them to diminish an enemy’s defense, regardless of its vulnerabilities. However, this reduction is half of the original value. Following this, Fugue upgrades its basic attack, capable of lowering an enemy’s defensive strength, thereby boosting the overall damage output for the team.

In the special skillset of Fugue, it’s her Talent, Cloudflame Luster, that sets her apart. With this ability, she imposes a spectral durability equivalent to 40% of an enemy’s initial durability. Once the original durability is eliminated, the remaining durability can be gradually diminished. When the Cloudflame Luster reaches zero, the enemy encounters Weakness Break Damage again, making them more vulnerable to damage from Break DPS in Honkai: Star Rail, resulting in a faster rate of damage infliction compared to before.

It’s not unexpected that Fugue, being a debuffer for Break DPS (Damage Per Second), shares a banner with Firefly, one of the top Break DPS in Honkai: Star Rail. Firefly is a character who primarily focuses on inflicting Super Break Damage, particularly with the help of Harmony Trailblazer.

In the game HSR, the Stellaron Hunter performs optimally when partnered with characters such as Ruan Mei, Harmony MC, and Lingsha. By the 7th of March, Fugue joins this list of effective Firefly teammates, alongside figures like Gallagher and Hunt.
