Sam, the fourth Stellaron Hunter, is the most exciting of all the unannounced characters that will shortly appear in HSR. Wearing only metal armor, Honkai Star Rail's Sam looks to be a major player in the Stellaron Hunters. Although Sam's existence was only mentioned and hinted at in legend, the latest Jepella Rebellion teaser has provided more clarity on this enigmatic figure.
Here is everything that we know about HSR Sam, including who he is, his abilities, his potential release date, and more.
Who is Honkai Star Rail Sam?
So, who exactly is Sam in Honkai Star Rail? Up until recently, Sam's appearance in Honkai: Star Rail was left up to the players' imaginations based on rumors and character descriptions, and his lack of appearances in-game and interactions with other Stellaron Hunters contributed to his aura of mystery. But we've now seen Sam for the first time in the Jepella Rebellion teaser. Sam, a Stellaron Hunter, is shown as a towering person donning a metal suit of full-body armor—so full that his face is completely hidden.
The way Sam interacts with the other Stellaron Hunters is one unique facet of his personality. The amusing interactions that Sam has with other members, including Blade and Kafka, suggest that he has a mischievous side, as the trailer makes clear. By using stickers and even taking over Blade's phone, the persona is shown as being humorous and friendly in addition to being mysterious.
Although gamers have finally seen Sam in the Jepella Rebellion teaser, there is still a lot we don't know about his past, his motives, and how he relates to the Stellaron Hunters' objective.
