On the official stream dedicated to the release Honkai: StarRail, showed Amphoreus and its inhabitants. The journey to the planet itself will take place in patch 3.0, but the Pioneers are already interested in the future plot and game characters, letting them know details about the research.
At the moment, not much is known about the "Eternal Land", Amphoreus. There was information that the concept of zodiac signs is widespread on the planet. This is confirmed by the number of characters shown: the appearance of eight characters was shown, but four more remained in the shadows, making themselves known only by silhouettes. Thus, in total there are twelve characters, which is equal to the number of zodiac signs.
The main characters of Amphoreus, who are the Flame-Chasing Heroes:
- Aglaia — the trailer is narrated from her perspective. The girl was already announced for update 3.0. She belongs to the Path of Memory and has an electric element.
- Tribby — the story showed several copies of her, two of which were holding hands like twins. Perhaps this is a reference to some game mechanics or lore.
- Anaxa — A mysterious white-haired man with an eye patch, supposedly following the Path of Nothingness and possessing an ice-type of damage. He is shown sitting at the roots of a tree. He is stated to have enough knowledge to overturn faith and destroy the gods.
- Hyacinth - The pink-haired girl's clothes are somewhat similar to church clothes in anime style. It will probably be associated with the theme of heaven or deities.
-
- Number — a nimble girl with cat ears who is shown to move instantly. She may have an unusual fighting style, like
- Kastoria — in the trailer, a girl communicates with a giant mystical creature, and in the background, thoughts about death are heard.
- Phaenon — when he appeared, they spoke of a certain Nameless King who would ascend the throne together with the heroes.
- In addition, silhouettes of four more unknown characters flashed. One of them will probably be Elysia's alto from Honkai Impact 3rd.

I finally figured out who is who!!! 1) Aglaya - she is Aponia. 2) Tribby and although she does not look like her, she is still Will-V. 3) Ankasa is Su. 4) Gaitsina is Rin and she replaces Sakura. 5) Medea is Cosmo. 6) Cifer is Pardofelis. 7) Kastoria is Griseo, although it is not immediately obvious. 8) Phaenon is Kevin Kaslana. 9) The girl on the purple background is Eden. 10) The girl on the dark pink background is Mobius. 11) The figure in the mask with fire in his hand is Kolpas. 12) The girl on the dark blue background is Fu Hua. But let's not forget about the 13th hidden place, Cyrene, she is the local Elysia! Cyrene is originally from Elysia Eides
In Midei's background there is clearly a lion, not a wolf.
It seems it's too early to quit the game. We need to get Kevin out.
Is there any info about the skillset? Will anyone besides Aglaya play with Sunday?
Well, the characters of the path of memory are definitely Kastoria, Aglaya, and maybe also Midey
Hmm, after watching the trailer, only three of them interested me so far: Kastoria, Anaxa and Cifer. These three look the most interesting so far.
Amphoraeus: Attack of the Clones.
Great, that means I'm not giving up the game, there's clearly someone to spin here, Giatsina, Tribby, Kalpas, Faenon - that's 100% about Cifer and Midea - I need to think about that, otherwise there might not be enough jade for everyone
So, well, if we really draw analogies with flame chasers, then I get the following coincidences:
Aglaya is Eden, since there are many connections with gold (and Eden's signet is gold) + Aglaya is connected with fashion as well as Eden.
Tribby - Will-Vi. The similarity in appearance is minimal, but they both can clone themselves + from her smirk I can assume that they have similar characters.
Anax - Su. They are similar in appearance, Su is also associated with a scientist + he also sat under a tree.
Giacina - Griseo. I can't prove a direct connection, but I will say that this is the only loli besides Tribby and she resembles Griseo more than the first one.
Midey - Cosmas. I would say Kalpas, but one of the following characters resembles him more. In principle, in the story of Cosmas, you can also trace that he wanted to become a fearless hero.
Cifer - Pardofelis. Both cats, and very similar in appearance.
Kastoria - Aponia. Both are related to butterflies, and in principle are similar in theme.
Phaenon - Kevin. I think there is no need for any arguments here, they are identical in appearance, and the trailer literally talks about deliverance, Kevin's signet.
Further along the silhouettes
1 - Mobius - Both scientists + the thing on her chest looks like the thing in Mobius' suit.
2 - Sakura? I can't tell from the silhouette, but Sakura is the only one left.
3 - Kalpas - Similar masks and hand shape, also he holds fire in his hands, while Kalpas is completely tied to fire.
4 - Elysia. Not sure if this is the girl from the end of the trailer or not, but they seem similar. And if so, then the girl from the end of the trailer is literally Elysia.
That only leaves Fu Hua, but we already have General Hua, so maybe they just decided not to include her here?
I'm not very familiar with the story, since I watched a video with her mention a long time ago, but in general, Aglaya reminds me more of Aponia, their faces are similar and they also attack with lightning.
Griseo, I think, is in the very last portrait. And before her, maybe Cosmo? There was a silhouette of a man walking alone in the desert in the trailer, maybe that's him? Because Kalplas, from what I saw, the guy is the embodiment of rage, that's why I want to put him on Midei.
But I would give the role of Sakura to Kastoria. Again, I am superficially familiar with the lore, but it seems there was some connection with "corruption and death". I just saw that her sister was the corresponding Herscher. Could it be that in this world she and her sister swapped places and her sister Rin survived, and Sakura died? And I just quickly googled it, the Herscher of corruption (decay/corruption/erosion, if translated), was just trying to imitate Elysia, which Kastoria is very similar to.
Well, I generally agree with you. Especially with Midey and 3 Silhouette, since I myself thought for a long time which of them to put where.
Regarding Aglaya and Aponia, I can also agree, and also add that in the trailer about Aglaya it was said that she weaves destinies (or something like that), and Aponia is very closely connected with the theme of fate, although I think that outwardly she still looks more like Kastoria.
Then the question arises where to place Eden, but if the 2nd silhouette is that girl under water, then it may well be suitable.
I don't really agree with Rin being Kastoria, since decay and death are different herschers, but if we start from the fact that it's really Rin here, not Sakura, then she can fit under Hyacin (at least in appearance). And Griseo would already be Kastoria, and they also have some similarities in appearance, and in the fact that Griseo can create mystical creatures.
And I wouldn’t rush to move Griseo to the 4th portrait, since then there would be no room left for Elysia.
No, in general, regarding Rin, it turns out I messed everything up, since she was a Herscher in the previous era, so the Herscher in Elysia was another independent entity, which is a virus of the system. Although since she is independent, perhaps Kastoria personifies her.
However, in another source, I saw a comparison of Rin with Hyacin, and that in this way they replaced Sakura, and in general, they are very similar. Here https://game8.co/games/Honkai-Star-Rail/archives/486290
So I was probably wrong about Midey and Kosma too. But Hua was pulled up there, though.
I don't know if my message will be sent, because I inserted a link, maybe it was filtered automatically. But anyway.
I got it wrong, it turns out there are different eras, and Rin was a Herscher in the past, in Elysia the Herscher is independent. So I still don't let go of the idea that Kastoria will personify him.
But Rin, yes, looks like Giocina, I just saw her in another source.
Well, I’m also wrong about Midey, yes, he has Kosma’s tattoos.
Well, Aglaya is not an imaginary element, but an electric one.
Thanks for noticing. Corrected.
Please
HSR and WuWa have pleased us with new characters and locations today. The locations of Greece and Venice are just beautiful, all the characters are bright and original. I hope everything will be fine with the plot too.
Anaxagoras, Mideimos, Cyphera, it would be better not to change the names, the original ones are much better
but the Persians themselves are gorgeous, where do they get so many gems from?
