Star Rail Leak Hints at New Weekly Boss

Summary

Leaks from Honkai: Star Rail are teasing the release of the next Weekly Boss set to come to the sci-fi RPG.
Honkai: Star Rail will reportedly add its next Weekly Boss for Amphoreus during the Version 3.3 update, though details about the boss were not confirmed.
Version 3.3 will also welcome Hyacine and Cipher to the playable roster, with Phainon and the Fate/Stay Night crossover rumored for the following patch.

A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail is hinting at the release window for the game’s next Weekly Boss, set to debut within the next few updates. The sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse features a variety of different combat challenges for players to tackle, with plenty of exciting and useful rewards for helping to upgrade characters. Calyxes offer both EXP materials and resources used to improve a character’s Traces, while Stagnant Shadows grant important materials for leveling and Ascending characters. However, one particular type of boss poses a greater challenge than the rest.

Since the game’s launch, Honkai: Star Rail has introduced multiple different “Echo of War” bosses as the game’s highest tier of enemies. Each Echo of War boss typically correlates to a major climactic moment in Star Rail‘s story, with only a limited amount of resources able to be acquired each week. The materials given by Echo of War bosses, however, are essential for maxing out characters, with the materials used to raise a character’s Traces to their highest level. Now, a brand-new weekly boss is set to be introduced in the near future.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Next Weekly Boss

A new leak shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker Sakura Haven is revealing the release window for Honkai: Star Rail‘s next Weekly Boss. According to Sakura Haven, the next Echo of War boss coming to Honkai: Star Rail will be introduced during the Version 3.3 update, with no confirmation given on what the boss will be. The post also shares more information about the heavily-rumored refresh to Honkai: Star Rail‘s battle pass, suggesting that the changes will arrive in Version 3.4 rather than the 3.3 update. Honkai: Star Rail‘s Version 3.3 is currently expected to launch on May 20.

The addition of a new Weekly Boss to Honkai: Star Rail comes during a period where the story of Star Rail‘s newest world is expected to reach its climax. Honkai: Star Rail‘s previous Trailblaze Missions for its new worlds have typically finished their initial arcs during the second or third post-launch update. The Version 2.2 update introduced the “Harmonious Choir” as Penacony’s major Weekly Boss, while Version 2.3 saw the highly-anticipated addition of Firefly to the playable roster. Version 1.2 similarly added “Phantylia the Undying” as the Xianzhou Luofu’s Weekly Boss.

Honkai: Star Rail looks to have plenty of content on the way beyond Version 3.3’s newest Weekly Boss. The update will add two new five-star characters to the game, with both Hyacine and Cipher confirmed to become playable during the patch. The following Version 3.4 update is also heavily rumored to be a big one for Star Rail, with Phainon rumored to be joining the roster alongside the long-awaited Fate/Stay Night crossover. Honkai: Star Rail fans should have an exciting set of patches on the way from the sci-fi RPG.
