| Honkai Star Rail Castorice: Kit, Materials, and Signature Light Cone Leaked |
A major leak has revealed Honkai Star Rail Castorice’s complete kit, ascension materials, and Signature Light Cone. As a Quantum element character following the Path of Remembrance, Castorice brings a unique mechanic that involves HP manipulation and battlefield control. Here is all that we know about her abilities and the materials needed for her upgrades.
Honkai Star Rail Castorice’s Full Kit
According to leaks, Castorice's abilities revolve around sacrificing allies’ HP to enhance her attacks and summon a powerful entity called Deathwing. Here’s a breakdown of her leaked skills:
- Basic Attack – Lament, Deadsea’s Ripple
- Deals Quantum DMG to a single target based on Castorice’s Max HP.
- Skill – Silence, Wraithfly’s Caress
- Consumes 40% of all allies' HP to deal Quantum DMG to a primary target and lesser damage to adjacent enemies.
- If allies don’t have enough HP, it reduces their HP to 1 HP instead.
- Enhanced Skill – Boneclaw, Doomdrake’s Embrace
- If Deathwing is active, Castorice and Deathwing perform a joint attack, consuming 50% of all allies’ HP except Deathwing’s.
- Talent – Desolation Across Palms
- Introduces a special Newbud mechanic, accumulating points as allies lose HP.
- When the gauge is full, Castorice’s Ultimate becomes usable.
- While Deathwing is active, allies’ HP loss heals Deathwing instead.
- Ultimate – Doomshriek, Dawn’s Chime
- Summons the memosprite Deathwing and advances its action by 100%. At the same time, creates the Territory “Lost Netherland,” which decreases all enemies’ All Type Resistance by 20%.
If the Damage boost from Castorice’s Talent is active, the effect is extended to Deathwing. Deathwing has 140 Speed and a set Max HP equal to 100% of max “Newbud”. - After Deathwing acts 3 times or when its HP is 0, it disappears and dispels the territory “Lost Netherland”.
- Technique –Wail, Death’s Herald
- Activates Netherveil state for 20 seconds, preventing enemies from approaching.
- Attacking in this state starts combat with Deathwing at 50% HP.
- After entering the battle, it consumes 40% of all allies’ current HP and advances Deathwing’s action by 100%. After entering battle and before summoning Deathwing, Castorice gains “Newbud” equal to 30% of the maximum “Newbud.”
- Unique Support Skill - Sanctuary of Mooncocoon
- After obtaining Castorice or when Castorice is in the current team, receive the following effect:
- In battle, when an ally character receives a killing blow, all allies that received a killing blow in this action enter the Mooncocoon state. Characters in Mooncocoon temporarily delay becoming downed and can take one action normally. After the action, if they receive healing or have a Shield before their next turn, Mooncocoon is removed.
Otherwise, they will be downed immediately. This effect can be triggered one time per battle.
These abilities suggest Castorice will be a high-risk, high-reward character, requiring careful HP management.
HSR Castorice Memosprite Skills
- Memosprite Skill 1 (Summon): Claw Splits the Veil - Deals Quantum Damage equal to 15% of Castorice's Max HP to all enemies.
- Memosprite Skill 2 (Summon): Breath Scorches the Shadow - Consumes HP equal to 25% of Deathwing's max HP and deals Quantum Damage to all enemies equal to 15% / 17% / 19% of Castorice's Max HP. When HP is insufficient, it will drop to a limit of one and using this ability will not end the turn. Using this ability repeatedly will enhance it, lasting until the Deathwing disappears. When HP is less than or equal to 25%, using this ability will actively trigger the Talent ability effect of 'Wings Sweep the Ruins'.
- Memosprite Talent 1 (Summon): Mooncocoon Shrouds the Form - When Deathwing is on the field, it acts as backup for allies. When allies take damage, their current HP can be reduced to a minimum of one, after which Deathwing will bear the damage received at 500% of the original damage until Deathwing disappears.
- Memosprite Talent 2 (Summon): Roar Rumbles the Realm - When Deathwing is summoned, increases damage dealt by all allies by 10% for two turns.
- Memosprite Talent 3 (Summon): Wings Sweep the Ruins - When Deathwing disappears, deals six instances of damage, with every instance dealing Quantum Damage equal to 25% of Castorice's Max HP to one random enemy unit.
