Amphoreus arc said: “Here’s trauma with high production value.”

The Amphoreus arc finally reaches its finale. It’s poetic, haunting, and visually stunning.
Exploring the new zones — the Memortis Shore, the Coterie Lounge, and whatever fresh trauma the writers cooked up — feels like walking through an oil painting dipped in lore and sadness.

What’s New – The Allure of Cyrene

The centerpiece of 3.7 is Cyrene — a 5★ Ice element, Path of Remembrance character, debuting in this update.

New Characters!

What Interesting about her

Lore-wise, she’s introduced as the Emissary of the Chrysos Heir, an enigmatic envoy from the Amphoreus depths. Stoic and seemingly detached, she wields crystalline constructs that resonate with lingering souls — each strike of her fan-like weapon releases a haunting shimmer of frost, eroding both body and will. Where other characters burn bright, Cyrene unmakes heat itself.

Phase 1 Reruns Banner Pull Temptation

So, the moment Cyrene arrived, she didn’t come alone. She brought her entourage — a carefully curated trio of units that make you question whether HoYoverse secretly studies human weakness.

Hyacine

In pure numbers, Hyacine gives more overall value per pull. She’s future-proof, easy to slot into existing teams

But here’s the catch — and every Trailblazer knows it:

Hyacine may be more valuable… but Cyrene is Wife.

Castorice

Here’s where the emotional damage sets in.
In a twist of poetic cruelty, Cyrene’s own banner — the patch’s headliner — is being overshadowed by her supposed subordinates.

Because while HoYoverse marketed Cyrene as the elegant new 5★ Ice Empress, the real monsters of Version 3.7 are Castorise and Hyacine.

Tribbie

Players are starting to realize Tribbie’s strength isn’t about raw damage — it’s about flow control.
She gives your DPS more turns, your supports more uptime, and your enemies… nothing.

It’s not flashy, but it’s devastating.
High-end players are calling her a “micro-tempo anchor”, the kind of unit who turns an average team into a perfectly tuned machine.

Phase 2 – The Calm After the Frost (a.k.a. The “Meh” Patch Half)

Look, Phase 2 is fine. The dudes are strong, the kits are probably cracked, and I’m sure the theorycrafters are losing their minds over rotations and multipliers right now.

I’m not chasing meta — I’m chasing waifus.

But me?
I don’t care.

Myriad Celestia Trailer — “Exotale: Scene 8”

This trailer feels like someone took opera, mythology, and sci-fi philosophy, then threw them into a blender powered by pure HoYoverse insanity — and the result is Exotale Scene 8.

Every second of that video screams “grand narrative,” like the universe itself is performing theatre for the Aeons.

Cyrene Took My Jades and My Dignity

Because at the end of the day, I play Honkai: Star Rail for the same reason I keep losing my dignity every patch — pretty characters, cool stories, and that one pull that always feels like fate.
