The trailer for Kafka in Honkai Star Rail is titled A Dramatic Irony. She is seen dragging a coin to attract the attention of her foes whilst unseen. As she makes her entrance, she quickly follows up with her signature “mind control” suggestion technique, effortlessly eliminating the opponents to a killer soundtrack.

The trailer continues as Kafka obliterates all of the guards, using both her katana and guns, in what can be best described as being very “John Wick-like.” Finally, the trailer ends with Kafka offering a lone surviving guard the option to decide his fate via a coin toss. The trailer ends with the guard’s fate being uncertain.

As the title of the trailer suggests, the “Dramatic Irony” lies in the fact that Kafka, despite being an expert in the usage of fear, has no way of feeling that emotion herself. As such, she has joined the Stellaron Hunters under the guidance of Elio to truly experience fear for herself.
