| Honkai Star Rail Cipher Kit and Light Cone Details Leaked |
Honkai Star Rail 3.3 banner will feature Cipher as a new 5-star character, and thanks to recent leaks, we now have a pretty good idea of how she plays. These leaks show what her kit might look like and how her signature Light Cone works. If you’re curious about what Cipher can do and how she could fit into your team, here’s everything you need to know about the leaked HSR Cipher kit.
Honkai Star Rail Cipher Kit Leak
Cipher is going to be a Quantum character on the Path of Nihility. That means she’s probably focused on debuffs and weakening enemies instead of just pure damage. Here’s a simplified look at the leaked Cipher abilities:
- Basic Attack: Deals Quantum damage to a single enemy.
- Skill: Hits the main target and nearby enemies with Quantum damage. It also applies a “Foretold” status to the main enemy, which is key to triggering her follow-up effects.
- Ultimate: Deals Quantum damage to one enemy, plus bonus True damage to that enemy and nearby ones. The True damage scales based on something called the Wealth Bond, which she builds up during fights. Using her Ultimate refreshes the Foretold effect and resets her follow-up attack count.
- Talent (Passive): At the start of every ally’s turn, Cipher will automatically mark one enemy with the “Foretold” status—usually the one with the highest HP. Whenever your teammates attack that Foretold enemy, Cipher keeps track of how much damage was done and stores it as Wealth Bond. After that, she performs a follow-up Quantum attack.
- Technique: Cipher enters Stealth, increasing movement speed and automatically collecting Treasures when passing by. Upon entering battle, deals DMG to all enemies and records ?% of this DMG in "Wealth Bond."
From this, it's clear that the Cipher kit is all about setting up debuffs, reacting to allies' attacks, and unleashing powerful follow-up hits. She rewards strategic team play and works well in teams that deal consistent damage.

- T2: "Wealth Bond" additionally records ?% of the total DMG (excluding True DMG) taken by adjacent targets of the "Foretold" enemy.
- T3: Cipher's Follow-up ATK DMG is increased by ?%. The recording rate of "Wealth Bond" is further boosted by Cipher's Crit Rate, up to an additional ?%.

- E1: "Wealth Bond" records up to ?% of DMG taken by enemies under "Foretold". When Cipher attacks an enemy target, increases the DMG the enemy target receives by %, lasting for? turn(s).
- E2: Cipher's Follow-up ATK DMG increases by ?%. After triggering a Follow-up ATK, Cipher restores ? Energy.
- E4: When an ally attacks an enemy with "Foretold", Cipher deals 1 instance of Quantum Additional DMG equal to % of Cipher's ATK to the enemy and its adjacent targets.
- E6: The DMG dealt by Cipher increases to % of the original DMG. After using her Ultimate, Cipher regains ?% of the last recorded "Wealth Bond" value.
HSR Cipher Signature Light Cone
Along with her kit, leaks have also given us info about the special 5-star Cipher Light Cone. It seems to be designed specifically for her style of play.
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate. If they use a Skill to attack an enemy, that enemy’s DEF gets reduced. And if that Skill hits as a CRIT, the DEF reduction becomes even stronger for a few turns.
This Light Cone seems to be a perfect match for the Cipher kit, boosting her damage and making her enemies easier to take down, especially during her follow-up attacks or big Ultimate strikes.

Moreover, since Cipher works best when other teammates are attacking her marked target, she will probably fit well in fast-paced teams. Characters who can hit frequently or apply consistent pressure would help her build Wealth Bond quickly.
All in all, the Honkai Star Rail Cipher kit seems built to reward players who like a smart, reactive playstyle instead of just spamming skills. You’ll need to time her moves, watch for when the Foretold effect is active, and use her Ultimate at the right moment.
Just remember, all this info is based on leaks, so things could still change. But for now, Cipher looks like a stylish and smart fighter who could bring a lot of fun to the battlefield, and her Light Cone also boosts her damage and makes her more effective at lowering enemy defenses.
