Brand New Characters Release

Alongside the release of Honkai Star Rail 4.2 Update and its Version 4.3 Update Patch, a brand new character will be released in the update patch for players to meet and roll for: The brand new 5-star Fire Nihility Character Mortenax Blade.

Mortenax Blade is an upcoming 5-star character of the Fire Element and follows the path of Nihility. He offers the team immense debuff effects that massively boost the damage the entire deal to the enemies while also helping boost the team’s ultimate and follow up attack damage through various conditions. Additionally, he can function as a practically immortal taunt sustain for various teams.

Mortenax Blade’s skill kit makes him a very strong debuffer support character capable of both reducing the enemies’ defenses and making them take more damage while also being able to supplement the team’s overall damage output and sustain the team with his effects that make him functionally immortal.

Mortenax Blade main utility and effects lies in his Ultimate and 3rd Bonus Ability, which allows him to set up a powerful zone that massively reduces enemies’ defenses while also boosting the damage they take from all allies. Additionally, when going alongside a team with an additional Nihility character, Mortenax Blade can buff the Ultimate Damage of all allies by a massive 50%. If the team doesn’t have an additional Nihility character instead, Mortenax Blade will increase the entire team’s Follow Up Attack damage, making him suitable to be a very strong support and debuffer for both the Debuff Nihility team and any Follow Up Attack teams.

Additionally, Mortenax Blade has the ability to be functionally immortal due to his special ability to activate and deactivate his zone. By activating his zone, Blade can enter an enhanced state that massively deals damage to enemies and makes all enemies attack him more frequently, allowing him to gain charge and energy. If he gets a killing blow from enemies, he will automatically exit the zone, recover 50% of his Max HP and his energy, then convert all of his excess energy into actual Ultimate energy, allowing him to immediately enter his zone again. As long as Mortenax Blade has enough energy to constantly activate his Zone, he is functionally immortal and can help to apply taunt to enemies, making them attack him more and protect the team.

Mortenax Blade serves as a premium debuffer and damage support for all types of teams with an amazing skill kit that massively increases the damage taken by enemies. He especially excels at helping to boost the damage output of the Acheron Nihility team through his ability to buff Ultimate Damage and can also be an extremely powerful support for any Follow Up Attack teams.

Players will have the chance to obtain Mortenax Blade and his lightcone in Honkai Star Rail Version 4.3 Update.
