Master Thief is coming to Honkai Star Rail.
Cipher’s release date is leaping onto Honkai Star Rail very soon (she’s a cat, okay?), and there’s plenty to be excited about. This charming 5-star unit follows the path of Nihility and deals Quantum damage, similar to Silver Wolf.
We don’t know much about Cipher’s kit right now, aside from a few details that emerged from a recent leak, which suggests she can deal AoE True Damage and trigger Follow-Up attacks.
There’s no shortage of Follow-Up attack units in HSR, but if you’re open to adding another (presumably) broken DPS unit to your Trailblazing party, Cipher might be worth pulling for. Below, we reveal Cipher’s release date details and what to expect from this Nihility Quantum character in Honkai Star Rail.
When is Cipher’s release date in Honkai Star Rail?
Cipher should arrive on June 11, 2025. She will be part of the HSR 3.3 update and have a limited-time banner in its second phase. Hyacine will headline phase 1 of 3.3, in case you want to save up your Stellar Jades for her instead.
Cipher’s limited-time banner should conclude on July 2, 2025, which means you will have three weeks to get her. It's worth noting that HoYoverse has yet to confirm these dates, which means this could eventually change. If that happens, we will update Cipher's release date accordingly.

Who is Cipher in Honkai Star Rail?
Cipher is a demigod who hails from Dolos, the city of Rogues. She is mentioned briefly in Aglaea’s story quest in Honkai Star Rail 3.0.
Like Castorice and Hyacine, Cipher is a Chrysos Heir, but she seems to have abandoned her duty as one and is living freely as a master thief. She’s incredibly agile, though she uses this gift of hers for scheming and trickery.
Cipher’s Japanese voice actor is Ayasa Ito, who you may recall as Mitsuko Umeno in Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister, and Lico in The Demon Girl Next Door season 2. As of the time of writing, there's no word on Cipher’s English voice actor.
