Phainon is an upcoming character in Honkai: Star Rail and expected to debut in version 3.4. The release is projected for around July 2, 2025, based on the game’s six-week update cycle. Recent leaks have revealed more about this new character. Here’s everything we know so far, but keep in mind that leaks are unofficial and subject to change!
Who Is Phainon?
Phainon is a central figure among the Chrysos Heirs, a group of heroes in Amphoreus tasked with a “grand mission of deliverance.” Hailing from the village of Aedes Elysiae, Phainon’s life was shattered when the Flame Reaver destroyed his home and killed his childhood friend, Cyrene. Driven by vengeance, he vows to protect Okhema and the Flame-Chase, making him a key character in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0’s storyline.
His design draws parallels to Kevin Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd, with white hair, green eyes, and a codename tied to “Deliverance.”
