Cyrene’s about to drop as an Ice-Type character following the Path of Remembrance, kicking off the first banners in Version 3.7. She’s shaping up to be the big closer for the Amorphous arc. With all sorts of rumors flying around about her role and skills, we’ve rounded up the confirmed leaks and theories to clear things up. Here’s the scoop on Cyrene, her abilities, and her potential connection to Elysia. Stick around for more updates from Gurugamer as we dig deeper into Honkai Star Rail leaks and character reveals.
Cyrene Overview
"Is this a fated encounter, or… a reunion that’s been a long time coming? My heart’s racing. So, call me ‘Cyrene’ again, just like the first time, alright?"
▌"Ripples of Past Reverie" Cyrene
A meteor cuts through the night, sending waves through the river of life, glowing in thirteen colors.
As the daughter of Aedes Elysiae and a Chrysos Heir tied to "██," Cyrene plants the Seed of Memory, letting past blooms flourish in the future.

Cyrene
Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Combat Path: Remembrance
Combat Type: Ice
Cyrene’s set to steal the show in Version 2.7, possibly being the most significant character since The Trailblazer. Word is she’s a Throne-level Emanator—a term straight out of Honkai Impact 3, hinting at godlike powers that could rival Aeons or at least tie her closely to them. Following the Path of Remembrance, she’s got multiple Memosprite skills and a Spectral Stingray companion. Plus, she switches between Child and Adult Cyrene forms, kind of like Carthyia in another game.
Illustration Interpretation
Cyrene’s artwork shows four memory entities—likely her Memosprites—flanking her. These seem to be two larger Cyrenes, each holding a smaller Cyrene and Mimi, representing her past, present, and future.
Sharp-eyed players might notice her illustration skips the usual judgment phrase found in others. Here are some guesses:
- The Trailblazer wrote it but forgot her, so it’s missing.
- Cyrene wrote it herself, tying into the “We were never apart” line from Evernight (SP March 7th), hinting they’re sisters, both daughters of the Aeon of Memory.
- It’s a joint effort between Cyrene and the Trailblazer, with her part left out.
- It’s hidden in the story, and players might get to pick her judgment phrase later.
These are just theories, though—her true story will depend on how Version 3.7 plays out in Honkai Star Rail’s storyline.
Phainon and Cyrene
Past breakdowns have touched on Phainon and Cyrene’s connection. When you line up their illustrations, Cyrene’s forms an upside-down triangle, while Phainon’s is right-side-up. Together, they mirror the Amphoreus celestial body, symbolizing a cycle of love and hate. Cyrene seems to give everything for Amphoreus’ future (think endless sacrifices), while Phainon carries its weight (endless cycles). Phainon’s sword points upward, Cyrene leans downward—maybe hinting at another loop in this cosmic tale.
Cyrene Inferred Kit
Early leaks pegged Cyrene as a main DPS, but newer info suggests she’s leaning toward a support role with team-wide buffs. Here’s what we know about her kit for Honkai Star Rail players looking for the latest character builds:
Talent:
- Boosts the team’s DEF Ignore and True DMG Bonus.
- Gives an extra 10% buff for each ally in the party.
Ultimate:
Cyrene’s ultimate is archery-themed. She shifts to Adult Cyrene, pulls out a pink bow, gathers starlight, and fires a starry arrow. The sky lights up with a river of stars, triggering the entire team’s ultimates. It’s a showstopper move that lives up to its “game-ender” hype.
Relationship with Elysia?
Cyrene’s design pulls heavily from Elysia in Honkai Impact 3, making her a likely fan favorite for her look and story. Could Cyrene be Elysia? Let’s break it down:
- Her name, “Cyrene,” means “ripples of the past,” which could point to Honkai Impact 3’s story. Maybe Elysia didn’t vanish but left traces that became Cyrene, fitting her Path of Remembrance.
- Cyrene’s reveal came after the Honkai: Star Rail logo, and she’s not one of the twelve Chrysos Heirs, suggesting she’s an outsider in the Star Rail universe.
- Her appearance, voice, and musical-note sentence endings scream Elysia.
- Character illustrations drop every 42 days. The next one (Version 3.5) should hit June 17, and Version 3.6 on July 29—Elysia’s “Herrscher of Human: Ego” trailer date. Coincidence?
- Cyrene’s pose in her latest artwork mimics an archer, matching Elysia’s signature weapon, “Whisper of the Past,” hinting at a deep link.
Could Cyrene and Elysia be like Raiden Mei and Acheron—a parallel pair across universes? It’s a stretch, but Honkai Star Rail’s lore loves these connections.
New Relics
Per Anon Leaks, Cyrene’s getting a new relic set that amps up all allies’ DMG when her Memosprite is active. This makes her a must-have for team synergy in Honkai Star Rail’s endgame content.
Cyrene’s Story Guesses
In March 7th’s PV, Cyrene sports a ring on her left ring finger, which, in ancient Egyptian lore, signals mysterious power. Paired with her Path of Remembrance, this fuels theories of a strong tie to Elysia. Her resemblance to Elysia is uncanny, unlike Phainon and Khlasa, who share similarities but differ in small ways. Gurugamer suggests Cyrene might be a blend of Elysia’s scattered memories, existing as a Star Rail version of her but not quite the same person.
Still, her fate seems tied to sacrifice, just like Elysia’s, to protect the world. In Honkai Star Rail, though, she gets to fight alongside the Trailblazers, giving players a chance to rewrite her story.
Conclusion
To wrap it up, Cyrene’s leaks point to a shift from a main DPS to a support role, focusing on True DMG buffs and DEF Penetration for the team. Keep in mind that beta data can change, so her final kit will depend on Honkai Star Rail’s official Version 3.7 release. Stay tuned for more character leaks and updates as we dive deeper into her role in the game’s meta.
