HoYoverse has revealed Tribbie, a 5-star character from Honkai Star Rail, set to debut in version 3.1, with a Quantum element and Harmony Path gameplay.
The Honkai Star Rail community is abuzz as HoYoverse has officially introduced Tribbie, a new 5-star character, through its drip marketing campaign for version 3.1. This marks the first major reveal for the upcoming update, promising exciting new content and deeper lore.
Who is Tribbie in HSR?
Tribbie is part of the renowned Tribios, the Holy Maidens of Janusopolis, alongside Trianne and Trinnon. These three figures carry immense narrative weight in Honkai Star Rail, with Tribbie serving as “the messenger delivering prophecies.” Her counterparts, Trianne and Trinnon, embody “the gatekeeper traversing a hundred worlds” and “the priest listening to the prophecy,” respectively.
This trio draws inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology, enriching the game’s storytelling with mythological depth. In the official reveal, Tribbie is described as a devoted servant of the masses, bringing deliverance and hope across different domains.
Here’s the official description provided by HoYoverse:
“The Messenger departs from that holy land beloved by the tripartite prophecy, splitting herself into a thousand pieces and setting off on her journey. O Tribios, Holy Maidens of Janusopolis, the Chrysos Heir who stole Passage's Coreflame. You shall toil for the masses, bringing the news of deliverance to all domains — Go find the children of humanity with golden blood in their veins, shatter the dimmest dark in this world, and walk toward the tomorrow where the stars gleam.”
