Summary

Leaks from Honkai: Star Rail are potentially hinting at Saber’s in-game element following the game’s upcoming Fate/Stay Night collaboration.

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak is potentially teasing the element for upcoming Fate/Stay Night crossover character Saber, rumored to be launching during the Version 3.4 update. HoYoverse made waves last summer when the developer announced the first crossover content coming to its massively popular sci-fi RPG with the beloved Fate/Stay Night franchise. The crossover was said to be launching sometime during 2025, though HoYoverse has not shared many details about what the Fate collaboration will contain. Now, however, new leaks are hinting at one particularly exciting aspect of the crossover.

Following the announcement of Honkai: Star Rail teaming up with Fate/Stay Night, rumors began to swirl about the potential of playable Fate characters in the RPG. Leaks in the months following the crossover’s reveal suggested that the Fate crossover will introduce two new playable characters, with both Saber and Archer joining the roster. Further information even teased the potential Paths for the pair of Fate characters as Hunt and Nihility, though the Paths were not specifically paired to either character. A new leak may now be teasing the in-game element for Saber.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Saber’s Element

A new update shared by trusted HoYoverse leaker Sakura Haven is giving a hint about Saber’s element following her Honkai: Star Rail release. Addressing a previous rumor about Saber being a Wind Destruction character, Sakura Haven confirmed that at least one Wind character is expected to release during Versions 3.4 or 3.5. Though Sakura Haven does not specify Saber’s exact element or Path, the previous leak about Saber could tie in with her final build. Saber and the Fate/Stay Night crossover are expected to launch during Honkai: Star Rail‘s Version 3.4.

Saber’s status as a Wind character in Honkai: Star Rail would mesh well with her in-universe lore within the Fate/Stay Night franchise. Saber’s first “Noble Phantasm” is referred to as “Invisible Air,” using a barrier of wind to make her sword indistinguishable to her enemies. Saber can use her Invisible Air offensively to empower her slashes as well, potentially lending to a connection with her rumored gameplay within Honkai: Star Rail. Previous rumors also hinted at Nihility as being a potential Path for Saber’s debut in Honkai: Star Rail.

The upcoming introduction of Honkai: Star Rail‘s crossover with Fate/Stay Night is just part of a plethora of exciting updates yet to come. Star Rail‘s Version 3.2 update, set to launch next week, will ring in the game’s second anniversary with a multitude of special rewards and a free five-star character. HoYoverse has even teased future characters to come with Hyacine and Cipher launching in Version 3.3, and Phainon also rumored to debut in Version 3.4. Honkai: Star Rail‘s Fate/Stay Night collab looks set to succeed on a major scale with its launch later this year.
