HSR’s Fugue, the long-awaited five-star Tingyun, is finally on her way to Hoyoverse’s hit sci-fi turn-based RPG, and we just can’t wait to meet her. After the dramatic conclusion to Tingyun’s role in the Trialblaze quests, we’re all wondering how Fugue will pick up the mantle, as well as how she’ll perform on the battlefield – so here’s everything we know so far.
If you’re curious about how Honkai Star Rail’s Tingyun, Fugue, and the rest of the Luofu crew size up, make sure to check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list. We’ve also compiled a list of all the new Honkai Star Rail codes and a comprehensive Honkai Star Rail events schedule, so you can start saving jades for the next Honkai Star Rail banner.
Here’s everything we know about Honkai Star Rail’s Fugue.
HSR Fugue’s Release Date Estimate
Drip marketing suggests that Fugue will make her debut in the 2.7 Honkai Star Rail update alongside Honkai Star Rail’s Sunday. This update is set to go live on Tuesday, November 3, or Wednesday, November 4, 2024, depending on your time zone.
However, Hoyoverse has yet to confirm whether she will appear on the first or second phase banners, meaning she could either release in early or late December. We will be sure to update this guide when we receive more information, so check back closer to the version 2.7 update.
HSR Fugue Build Speculation
Fugue is a five-star fire character who treads the path of The Nihility. Nihility characters excel at applying debuffs to enemies to reduce their combat capacities, with some of the strongest characters in the game treading this path alongside her. Other Nihility characters include Honkai Star Rail’s Acheron, Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Black Swan, each filling unique roles in their respective teams.
While we don’t know much about her kit right now, her path suggests she could act as a debuffer support, sub-DPS, or main DPS depending on her skills. Leaks on Reddit have hinted that she has an intriguing skill that allows her to target an ally, causing them to attack an enemy while inflicting a debuff that decreases their defense.
Hoyoverse has yet to confirm anything, and all leaks are subject to change. Regardless, the idea of playing five-star Tingyun as a debuffer alongside her four-star buffer support counterpart is pretty exciting!
Who is HSR Fugue?
Fugue is, in short, five-star Tingyun. According to her Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication post, she’s described as a “tactful foxian girl, whose appearance, name, and identity have all been stolen.” This aligns with her new name, as in psychology, ‘fugue’ refers to “a loss of awareness of one’s identity, often coupled with flight from one’s usual environment.”
Her drip marketing further states, “the fates have left her a thread of chance at survival, yet the brand of Destruction still writhes with anticipation. The one in a fugue who has experienced life and death and is given a new life… when would she be able to return home?”
Taking all this into account, it appears that following her tragic fate in the Trailblaze storyline, Tingyun has lost her identity but has been given another chance, resulting in her rebirth. We’ll have to wait for the game’s story to unfold further to learn more about how she reached this point and if she retains any memories of her time aboard The Xianzhou Luofu.
