Whales already lining up for Mortenax Blade's banner in Honkai: Star Rail 4.3, and HoYoverse is once again dangling another 5-star Fire Nihility swordsman like it's fresh bait on June 1. The update deepens the Planarcadia arc with Mortenax Blade stepping into the World in Canvas to borrow Voracity power, excise Shuhu, and end his curse while the Trailblazer heads to Inkford Hermitage to warn Graphia about Asat Pramad.
Blade's kit lets him deploy a Bounded Field that amps enemy damage taken, then chains into Sword Formation skills and a powered-up Ultimate, plus team debuffs that build his Charge. Phase 1 rerun Yao Guang, phase 2 Cyrene and Phainon, free Trailblazer outfit after pulling him, new Wispae Amusement Park design mode, and Starward three-team challenges in endgame modes all drop alongside.
Summer Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works collab promises free Gilgamesh or Archer logins too. Another version, another pull session for the same old faces re-skinned as new meta bait.
F2P plebs will suffer the usual 50/50 while whales feast on Eidolons that turn this into top-tier support/DPS hybrid.
