Recent leaks from names like HSR have shown gameplay footage of all the v1.6 characters fighting a new enemy that is apparently a weekly boss. This foe is expected to arrive in the next patch. The creature shares a similar design with the True Stings, who appear as the final encounter in the Swarm Disaster DLC.

As shown in the footage, the new enemy will have two distinct phases and is capable of dealing Quantum DMG. It can also summon a few miniature bugs for assistance during battle.

The v1.6 leaks from Hexenzirkel hint at a free Lynx reward. Fans have been wanting a copy of the 4-star character for quite some time now, and they will be able to obtain her after clearing the second stage "for any phase of Pure Fiction." For those that don't know, this is the upcoming patch's flagship event.

If such leaks are true, Trailblazers should be able to easily snag the free copy of Lynx. She should bring excellent value to any team, as this unit can remove debuff from all allies while healing them during combat.
