The character known as Fugue may initially strike players of Honkai: Star Rail as an unusual name for the 5-star Tingyun, particularly as it goes unmentioned even in her own Trailblaze Mission. However, a deeper exploration reveals that “fugue”refers to a state of identity loss, which aligns notably with her narrative; the Foxian lady’s identity as Tingyun was compromised by Phantylia in the game.
Despite the long-standing belief that Tingyun is still alive, many fans have eagerly awaited her return, speculating on the means of her survival amidst the corruption of Destruction. The game provides insights into how she overcame possession, transforming her into a playable character within Honkai: Star Rail. For those anticipating her arrival, let’s take a look at the expected release date for Tingyun’s appearance in HSR.

Firefly Featured Banner – First Rerun |
The much-anticipated Fugue is set to debut on December 25, 2024 (local server time), coinciding with the end of the 2.7 banner, which concludes on January 14, 2025. This version transition will lead into Honkai: Star Rail 3.0. Fugue’s banner will follow the Sunday release, featuring her alongside Firefly, who will be returning to the spotlight for her first rerun banner.
In terms of gameplay, Fugue is classified as a Fire-Nihility character with a strong focus on supportive debuffing mechanics. Her abilities allow allies to diminish enemy Toughness unconditionally while also enabling a unique phantom “exo-Toughness”effect. This capability allows for repeated instances of Break and Super Break damage, enhancing the overall strategy for players.
Fugue’s Skill provides a gateway for allies by increasing Break Effect values and lowering enemy Toughness, irrespective of their weaknesses, although it only offers 50% of the original reduction. This is complemented by an enhanced Basic Attack from Fugue that can also decrease enemy DEF, thereby amplifying the damage potential for the entire team.
A standout feature of Fugue’s skill set is her Talent, known as Cloudflame Luster, which applies a phantom Toughness equivalent to 40% of the enemy’s original Toughness. This phantom Toughness can be diminished after the original Toughness is fully subsided. Once Cloudflame Luster is depleted, the enemy incurs Weakness Break damage again, allowing players to deal damage more rapidly in Honkai: Star Rail.
Given Fugue’s role as a debuffer for Break DPS, it’s fitting that her banner coincides with Firefly, a character renowned for her exceptional capabilities in Super Break damage, particularly when paired with Harmony Trailblazer. The collaboration shines brightest with synergistic teammates like Ruan Mei, Harmony MC, and Lingsha. With Fugue joining the mix, players can expect dynamic interactions alongside additional teammates including Gallagher and Hunt March 7th.
