Cipher revealed as new character via Honkai Star Rail 3.3 drip marketing

The Honkai Star Rail 3.3 drip marketing campaign recently revealed Cipher, confirming her playable debut in the same patch. She is a Chrysos Heir tasked with protecting the "Trickery" Coreflame. She is affiliated with the city of Dolos, which could be located in Okhema.

Dolos is the lost city of rogues, where roughly 300 outlaws indulge in various games. They answer to no one and live a liberated life, thieving and deceiving for sustenance. Cipher is among the rogues of Dolos, and she is extremely nimble, as her character can be seen vaulting over obstacles with stolen relics in her hand in the official artwork.

Here’s how Cipher introduced herself in the drip marketing post:

"Cifera? Ah, so you've heard of me... But few call me by that name these days. Call me Cipher. It's sharper and swifter, like the wind itself. A perfect name for a master thief, don't you think?"

Cipher character type details

HoYoverse is yet to reveal Cipher's kit. However, the drip marketing campaign highlights her character type:

• Rarity: 5-star
• Element: Quantum
• Path: Nihility
