I like that this trailer was never mentioned in peoples "dreams" and HSR devs knows how to cook in secrecy.

[@ArchonKujo]

I agree! Now this is a way to introduce villains!

[@vyxibel]

praying people have dreams about them being playable 🙏 🙏

[@rafael_lana]

Which reinforces the theory the "leaks" are very much official to keep people invested and not too frustated when planning future pulls.

[@darknessknows1235]

They're doing the same thing as the Winter fatui trailer

[@xenoemblem7]

@@vyxibelWHat if they share the same fate as Cocolia?

[@ShiraFuyu2022]

Assuming that Ifrit's placing Targets with their Kids as the Assassins/Killer during the Charmony Festival This is basically what i get Akash "The Tuner": Sunday and Robin (Harmony) Dubra "The Scribe": Sparkle (Elation) Caterina "The Shacklebound": Aventurine (Preservation) Constance "The Dahlia" : Black Swan (Rememberance)

[@armslitter]

Sunday isn’t harmony but Robin is

[@ald.o_g]

​@@armslitterSunday's path may not be harmony but he does follow Xipe

[@armslitter]

@@ald.o_g well true The thing is that Robin fakes her death so now I’m confused if the annihilation gang is actually trying to kill playable charas or not I kinda doubt it tbh

[@al103]

They probably target 4 clans, not guests. Guests are afterthought (which would be their downfall).

[@fatum8573]

No way they can kill anyone even in plan. Duke not very strong, as his charges, and he will try to attack Penaconia, where there will be a delegation from the hall of oblivion, a delegation from the ICP, the Star Express and the Galaxy Rangers. This company of optimists initially didn’t have a chance.

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

Hoyoverse heard people complaining that there wasn’t a real villainous faction in Star Rail and went “lmao bet”

[@Keiki-kun]

Theres the antimatter legion tho

[@Gottaloveaxolotls]

The more villainous factions comes up, the better. And more depression coming up as well.

[@ЯрославПодгорный-х3м]

Akash - Harmony (Robin or Sunday) Dubra - Elation (Sparkle) Caterina - Presevation (Aventurine) Constance - Rememberenc (Black Swan) I think they told us who they would have to kill.

[@callummoran6497]

Isn't Sparkle harmony and Black Swan Nihility

[@lostarchon2869]

Funny how they don't want any smoke with nihility

[@nicolascaudron1796]

​ @callummoran6497 Yeah, they are Harmony and Nihility, but only for gameplay reasons. But in the lore, they are respectively representatives of Masked fouls (Elation) and the Garden of Recollection (Remembrance)

[@elite03]

It's the faction they're in not gameplay mechanic. Heck all astral express follow akivili but no trailblazer path for gameplay​@callummoran6497

[@cortesyes]

They’re also kinda themed up, so I’d guess it’s more robin than Sunday: musician vs singer, puppet master vs street performer, violent thug vs businessman. Not sure what role to assign to Constance and black swan, apart from being probably the two most powerful of the respective sides

[@mikonyx7712]

After a bit of research I have learned that for en voices, (other than Jennifer) overlaps with Genshin are Dubra, Millie also voices Keqing. But also Akash, Talon Warburton, has played a role of Moseis (The "antagonist" from the first Nahida story quest)

[@novatm13]

Cant wait, i doubt all will be playable. But some probably are. Im leaning more on bosses, like Signora was in Genshin. Important thing to note Duke lists them off to take out certain paths. We know there will be big conflict in Penacony. Dubra vs Elation Akash vs Harmony Catarina vs Preservation Constance vs Remembrance From that we can assume we will see them when the respective Penacony guest invite of that path gets introduced in story. So we might see Constance and Dubra first because we know Black Swan and Sparkle are the Rememberance and Elation invites and are the next banners.

[@louycoi]

This was an absolute banger of a trailer. The way Constance is portrayed and the character she already is and the fact that she shares the same irl name as me, I think I’ll have to warp for her instead of Sparkle.

[@Shrine.-]

Star rail is reaching it's peak, these next few major story arcs could be hella cool

[@PeachMomonade]

I think they're going to throw hands with the faction representatives of the paths. Hanabi, Aventurine, Black Swan... they're going to rip down the paths they follow by going after them on Penacony during the event.

[@strxrry_ace]

this was insane to watch and it looks so good i cant wait for these characters

[@JVMarcos]

"Tick Tock. It's stab-o-clock." - Mina Aoyama

[@dumbocow]

Pretty crazy plot drop here. Annihilation Gang under the path of Destruction is basically declaring war vs every single faction that was invited and will be present at Penacony. Duke Inferno assigns each of the members of the gang to face off with each faction. Faction 1 assigned to Dubra: Elation -> Sparkle (Masked Fools) Faction 2 assigned to Akash: Harmony -> Sunday + Robin (The Family) (Akash looks like he fits in parties hosted by Sunday as a musician) Faction 3 assigned to Caterina: Preservation -> Aventurine (IPC) (bank vaults) Faction 4 assigned to Constance: Remembrance -> Black Swan (can see the burning flower in Duke Inferno's hand) Outside factors that can influence the fight are - The Stellaron Hunters (Sam), The Astral Express, Acheron, Dr. Ratio (Intelligentsia Guild or Erudition followers) Surely there are no deaths in this arc right? (Hunt and Abundance busy with their own conflict)

[@ShellShock145]

God, I hope they're eventually playable they look so good.

[@Littleguinevere]

I'm in love with dubra's design!! That giant grim reaper with her>>>>

[@sum1s0mewhere]

Since we already got a glimpse of Duke inferno I'm expecting to run into him early on after we get to penacony

[@MaryaleeScarlet]

Per Rubee, Constance is the "Lady Di" from RE8 for Star Rail. As an aside: In Japan White is the color of "Death".

[@iamawatcher9201]

Will Kafka even show up tho? They already showed Sam being the main Stelleron Hunter guest for Penacony.

[@Birthday888]

I agree with Mina that Kafka is definitely the character with the biggest death flags, but I also don't see them killing her off this early. That feels more like a second act thing. Himiko's death in HI3 had to happen in Act 1 because it's what kickstarts Kiana's story in earnest, but the Trailblazer has already started their's. I"m also certain that Kafka is going to discover "the value of life" moments before she sacrifice her life to save ours in some form or fashion.

[@gustavju4686]

I want Silver Wolf to show up again

Kafka being a member of a race that is incapable of feeling fear, makes sense that would eventually drop that "Go on with out me, I'll handle this" and sacrifice herself without hesitation, probably to give our MC the chance to escape something. Definite death flags all around her.

[@badass7565]

By preservation they prolly mean the garden of memories or something which blackswan recides and penacony is harmony. The story from the livestream and all probably is that penacony is controlled by five families and one of the families young master name Sunday came to invite all to their grand celebration and Duke Inferno is probably one of the families and these are the people he raised. He probably wants full control over penacony and is creating his master plan with these guys. But I could be wrong.

[@lolpop7799]

its already been said in the 1.6 livestream that the family is just inviting pretty much all factions to penacony including the annihilation gang. the garden of recollection is remembrance not preservation

[@Derektwgu]

Preservation is definitely referring to IPC instead of Belabog. That’s why the duke said burn all their gold etc. I think they’re all gonna be on Penacony because all the factions mentioned are going to be there. Harmony - The Family Elation - Masked Fools Preservation - IPC Remembrance - Garden of Recollection

[@vietcuongnguyenle8530]

Supreme guardian is belong to preservation too But yeah even if what he talking about is supreme guardian instead IpC it will not be belebog but another place

[@thederp9309]

I think each of the characters has a hit. Constance was told to leave the Rememberance’s tomb obviously referring to Black Swan. Dubra was set to destroy the Elation so is going after Sparkle Akash was told to destroy Harmony so is going for the family, Sunday, or Robin Caterina was told to melt gold of preservation (obviously referring to the IPC), Aventurine is a part of the IPC and as stated before so she’s going after him.

The Height, the Hair Length, the Shape of the Face and Facial Features and even the uh.... *AHEM* Body build all give off Evil Navia Vibes for me. As for who may die, I'd say it might be Argenti given how he basically "Shrimps" for any Lady that even remotely looks to be in trouble. Don't go for the Level 5 Ascension for the Guys and Gals of Star Rail (unless you want to wet the bed in the Midst of a Dream) with the Exception of Lynx and the Kids obviously because well.....

[@KhoiNguyen-xv4jd]

I have a small theory on Constance, she is Duke Ifrit most ambitious, most talented child. She is a part of the Annihilation Gang which is group that doesn’t have an Emanator in it. They literally destroy world just to impress Nanook but alas no dice. The MC drawn Nanook’s gaze the moment they gain consciousness so while other siblings going after other Aeon’s strongholds, she might coming after the Express, especially us( not to mention the Stellaron that was jammed into us by Kalfka.) Hell, if we take Constance’s ambitious nature at face value, she would try to destroy everything, including Nanook. Also, Duke Ifrit is actually dumb enough to sent only one of his child to after Aha the Elation, Nanook’s giant ass scar was cause by him so…good luck with that Dubra.

[@z0ro_62]

Preservation i believe the target is not belobog but the ipc its self
