Within the version "Falling on the Threshold of Dawn" The pioneers will be able to participate in the "Jumps" of several legendary heroines at once: the priestess-healer Giacina, the owner of the space station Great Herta, the gold-thief Cifer, as well as the leader of the Pursuers of Flame Aglaya. Each of the characters is extremely versatile in the niche they occupy and is able to impress with the mechanics embedded in the skill set.
There may not be enough Star Jades for all the desired representatives of limited banners, and to strengthen the , you will have to choose a unit from an extensive list of meta legendaries. In the guide, we will consider the main features of each character, so that it becomes clear who in Honkai: StarRail spin in patch 3.3.
Overview of all characters
In this section, we will look at the mechanics of new characters, as well as heroines who have been rerun, and then evaluate their relevance within the endgame content.
Hyacinth
Hyacinth (Memory: Windy) — a healer with good AoE potential, who will be an excellent not only for heroes from the HP mechanic, but also for DPS representatives of other directions. Removes debuffs with a skill and super ability, deals additional damage with the help of the skill of the spirit of memory Iki (the outgoing numbers depend on the amount of healing recorded during the battle), restores health of the entire team at once, including summoned creatures. Versatility of the skill set allows you to high-level updated modes without any problems.
Priority is given to such characters as: Blade (Destruction: Wind), since the proposed functionality is well combined with their mechanics. In addition to them, it can take the sustain position in any other group.
Examples of current squads with a Zlatius priestess:
Basic DPS | SUP-DPS/SUP | SUP (de/buffer) | Sustain |
---|---|---|---|
Kastoria |
GG (Memory) |
Tribby |
Hyacinth |
Midey |

Greater Hertha
Great Hertha (Erudition: Ice) — the main DPS representative, playing from status "Interpretation", which increases the damage multiplier on an enemy affected by the said negative effect. Deals well with both groups of enemies and single targets due to the talent, which allows you to priority accumulate lvl. "Interpretations" on targets of elite rank and above. As a result, it is suitable for completing "Pure Fiction", "Illusion of the End" and "Hall of Oblivion". Additionally, it is easy to assemble due to belonging to the popular Path with many equipment options.
Slightly better revealed in cooperation with Anaxoy (Erudition: Windy), as their skills and talent/trace requirements complement each other very well. However, having a Zlatius scholar is not necessary, as there are good allied alternatives among the followers of his class.
Examples of current squads with member of the "Society of Geniuses" No. 83:
Basic DPS | SUP-DPS/SUP | SUP (de/buffer) | Sustain |
---|---|---|---|
V. Herta |
Anaxa |
Tribby |
Hoho |
V. Herta |
Hertha |
Zaryanka |
Gallagher |
V. Herta |
Argenti |
GG (Memory) |
Fu Xuan |
Number
Cipher (Non-existence: Quantum) — a secondary damage dealer with functions, responsible for the distribution of weakenings. In particular, it increases the damage received by enemies, which is considered a universal bonus that will suit any team. Plays from a high speed indicator and has several options for "speed" builds - 170, 180 and 200 units - the latter allows you to achieve constancy of debuffs on enemies and, at the same time, maximize the amount of outgoing DPS from the heroine herself.
Good in content against large single targets, performs worse in the process of clearing "Pure Fiction", since the skill set is mainly focused on solo-target.
Examples of current units with a nimble cat thief:
Basic DPS | SUP-DPS/SUP | SUP (de/buffer) | Sustain |
---|---|---|---|
Acheron |

Aglaia
Aglaya (Memory: Electric) — a hyper-carry who summons the Seamstress, a spirit of memory, to the field, with whom he subsequently carries out t attacks of multiple types. The main feature is embedded in superpowers: Activating this will instantly increase your speed, allowing you to take multiple turns in a single battle cycle. This advantage is in turn highly valued in endgame-type modes.
Receives additional bonuses from cooperation with s who are able to advance the action. Belonging to the Path of Memory, in turn, increases the need for signature in the person of Sundays (Harmony: Imaginary).
Examples of current squads with the demigoddess of the "Eternal Land":
Basic DPS | SUP-DPS/SUP | SUP (de/buffer) | Sustain |
---|---|---|---|
Aglaia |

Who to twist?
Let's make a general assessment of the characters using a comparison table:
Hyacinth | Greater Hertha | Number | Aglaia | |
Role in the squad | Healer | Basic DPS | Debuffer | Basic DPS |
The best eidolon | E0-E1 | E1-E2 | E2 | E1-E2 |
Dependence on the signal | Desirable but not required | Not necessary | Desirable but not required | Highly recommended |
Is it worth it for a newbie to knock out? | Yes | Yes | No | No |
Is F2P suitable? | Yes | Yes | No | No |
As a result, the banners of version 3.3 are represented by niche characters among their classes:
- a universal healer who can any squad;
- A great basic damage dealer that is easy to build and has a variety of equipment options that are suitable for beginners;
- secondary damage dealer-debuffer with universal negative effects, but skills tied to a solo target;
- the main damage dealer, capable of impressing with frequent moves and excellent damage, but in return requiring signature (equipment + s).
For full implementation Aglai you will have to seriously invest in third-party enhancements for a more comfortable game. Greater Hertha, on the contrary, is considered a less demanding unit and will be a real salvation for beginners who want to close high-level activities. Both will be able to for a long time endgame content.
Hyacinth with an outlet will take a high position in the ranking due to the versatility of skills, allowing, in addition to healing, to surprise with good third-party damage. It is definitely worth taking if the profile needs stable sustain. Cipher, in turn, can be useful for those who like to play from stable debuffs or continue to strengthen squads with galactic ranger acheron.
I'll upgrade Gerta to e2, fortunately for 25 pulls I got e2 armor and the next pull of e1 Gerta.
She has signa, she has tribbi, she has anaxa, she has linsha.
And I'll leave the rest to Fenya, even though he's the most useless of all, but judging by the skill set he'll be OP
If I plan to spin midea on rerun, is it worth taking Giatsinna?
No, despite the fact that they seem to go well together, but in reality it's so-so. The HP buff gives Midai more damage, but slows down the stack gain, Kastoria doesn't have this problem. Hyacin's heal is spread out widely across the entire squad and is quite low in of one-time healing, it's extremely difficult for her to heal Midai's huge HP expenditures. So... Overall, she's good for him, but far from a must-have
midey will have enough of a bartender, well or lochi. it is better for him to spin the feathered one, if there is no strong armor.
I knocked out Giatsina, now I need to knock out Tsifer
I spent the guarantee on V. Herta without thinking twice.
Now I plan to knock out Zaryanka, which I skipped, because it wasn’t needed before, or not so much.
Fatf**k not needed
When Kastoria/Midei are all locked in a pack with Gallagher/Locha, and Acheron+fox with Pela/Wolf are still imba, it seems that the new characters are a nice, but not necessary addition. They can be used in a rerun, but only if there are extra spins. But Gerta with a sign is a good investment. Cone just scampered me and I can spin it, and let the rest be on Phaenon and collab. Also, Tribby and Resurrection will probably be rerun soon. They will definitely have more impact on the .
Bruh, why does no one mention Linshu, she is literally an improved Gallagher and plays well with Kastorka
Signa Gerte would have unscrewed, but Phaenon with signa is more necessary. The rest are not needed.
You can easily save up for both the Hertha and Phaenon signatures
Aglaya, what is more critical, signal or e1?
If there is Sunday, then it is better to have a signal. If there is no signal, then e1 without any options even
buff blade and jingliu to meta imb in this patch?
In 3.4, and it's highly unlikely that they'll actually be raised to meta.
it was sarcasm, i saw, they seem to buff crit damage well mostly
Nothing was written about Critical damage at all. Their main change is that they are now completely based on HP, not attack power.
Is it worth turning the dial? I want to get myself a V. Gerta with a cat-like one, but I don't have Acheron for the latter. I heard you can put it on Midei (which I want to do) but is it worth it?
Technically, Cipher can work in almost all teams, but she is not a bis character anywhere except for Acheron and Feixiao. So, if you don't have Resurrection and Tribby, you can put her with Midey instead of them. If you already have them, she won't be better than them.
I actually have both Resurrection and Tribbi, but they are in a different pack. And I heard about Cifer that its strength was reduced, and I don’t know if it’s worth it.
Specifically, only her personal damage was nerfed, but her buffs for the team remained at the same good level. But still, she is a controversial character. If you like her, then yes, you can knock her out and use her calmly, and she will be good, but if you are chasing specifically the meta, then at the moment, she will not be better than other buffers. Perhaps Cipher will work very well with one of the future characters. Some say that she can be good for Archer, but we will only find out when his kit comes out.
Everywhere they write that the Herte signal is not needed, but what are the alternatives? BP cone with 5m overlap or the garbage signal Himeko?
Himeko's Signa isn't that bad. You can also use Genius Rest or a cone from Gerta's shop.
They are 30% behind in damage. And Himeko's signal has specific conditions for activation.
Dude, you're saying some very strange things. It's obvious that a specific hero's signal suits that hero the most. You asked about alternatives yourself - they're being offered to you. It's clear that they're behind in damage, that's what alternatives are for, right?
Well, first of all, according to Prydwen's calculations (yes, I know it's not the best source, but it's much better than pulling numbers out of my head), even the worst case scenario (the importance of breakfast, which I didn't suggest) is behind by 25%, not 30%. Herta's Shop Cone is 21%, Genius Rest is 19%, Signa Himeko is 17%.
Secondly, I will surprise you, but almost all characters have a difference between their signature and free options of 20+% damage. This does not mean that all the signatures are suddenly a must pull. And in fact, these 20% damage in Gerta's signature are not the most important thing. The most important thing in her is that she restores skill points, which simplifies the game with hyper-keria s, or if you do not use Jasper.
The Great One is in a full pack, Barbara is not needed, although perhaps she will be a must-have for the new granny, but it is more profitable for me to bury the old one than to resurrect by spinning Bebra and losing the other. I don’t want to resurrect Acheron without a fox with the help of Cipher, it is also easier to put it to rest already, and Aglaya… No. I am waiting for a collab, in particular Archer, and Gisilens
Well, I've been gathering a Memory squad for Kastoria from the very beginning, so I'm definitely taking Hyacin. Kastorka is absurdly strong without her, but with her...
I'm waiting for Harmony of Memory to replace Zhuanka.
But E2 will be left out sometime later. But E1 and a cone are needed.
There's also Jingliu 2.0 looming on the horizon, I think it will suit her too.
I strongly dislike Barbie - it's as "pleasant" to look at her as it is to eat sugar with spoons. But what to do, since without her, even E2 with a signa is completely unimpressive?
I'm afraid to imagine how bad your build is, since E2 is not impressive.
There is no need to be afraid, and why such strange conclusions? "Not impressive" does not mean "cannot cope". The mirror is naturally on 36 auto-fight. But where V.Gerta flutters like a butterfly on 0 cycles, this one puffs and suffocates. (Tribby is really assigned to the Great)
If you don't like it, you can skip. Locha/Gallagher will handle it anyway
