After our long time spent in Penacony, Amphoreus is the world that awaits us next.
On November 22, Honkai: Star Rail streamed their latest Special Program and revealed a lot of information for the upcoming version 2.7. But what they also gave us is a sneak peek at the next planet we will be visiting… Amphoreus.
Honkai: Star Rail’s trailer for Amphoreus
In the livestream, they showed us an amazing looking trailer, the “Golden Epic Trailer — "Amphoreus' Saga of Heroes"”, that gives us glimpses of Amphoreus’ story.
Clearly inspired by epics and tales from Greek mythology, Amphoreus delves into the lore of gods and titans providing the mortal realms with a golden age, before a “black tide” with a “gloom darker than death itself” washed over the world.
Titans went mad and mortals went to war not only with the divine, but also with each other. This went on for a whole millennium until all gods ultimately perished.
A new prophecy came and practically announced the coming of the so-called “Chrysos Heirs” who seemingly received the “golden blood.”
There’s theories that this golden blood could be that of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, whose blood has the same color.
But it might also just be that all gods and Aeons have golden blood, so we do not know whether this theory will hold true.
The Chrysos Heirs – Amphoreus’ playable characters
The Chrysos Heirs look to be the upcoming playable characters in the versions of 3.0 and onward. We’ve already gotten some of their names via Honkai: Star Rail’s official social media.
The upcoming Amphoreus characters are:
- Aglaea, the 'Goldweaver'
- Tribbie
- Anaxagoras, the 'Foolish'
So far, we have only gotten more detailed information on Aglaea. And surprisingly enough, she will introduce us to an entirely new playable path: the Remembrance!
Aglaea will be a Lightning Remembrance character and most likely will be based around Summons.
Similar to how Summons already exist in game – for example Lingsha or Jing Yuan – these Summons can act individually but will have their own HP bar and such.
What are your impressions of Amphoreus? I, for one, am very excited to learn more about it! But feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
