Rappa reveal: Honkai Star Rail returns to Penacony

The latest Honkai Star Rail drip marketing features Rappa, a cosmic ninja from Penacony. Check out what we know of Rappa's reveal here.

In Honkai Star Rail, Rappa is a 5-star Imaginary character on the Path of Erudition.

Rappa is a self-proclaimed Cosmic Ninja who "attributes everything in the world to ninjutsu." More importantly, she is a Galaxy Ranger. This means she is part of the enigmatic group we know little about, but this is not the first time we hear of them. Acheron is identified as one, while Boothill is a genuine member.

She is seen wielding a chakram shaped like a shuriken in her splash art. Most likely, this is her weapon of choice when attacking enemies. Given Rappa's Path of Erudition, we might even see it bounce between enemies. Other points of interest in her splash art are the paint can on her waist and belt buckle.

Rappa is from Penacony, and the Astral Express crew had just landed on the Xianzhou. This presents two possibilities: first, that the Astral Express will set sail again to Penacony, or two, that Rappa will head to the Xianzhou. The first is more likely, seeing as Boothill called many Galaxy Rangers onto the world nearing the end of the Penacony Trailblaze Mission.

Whichever one it ends up being, the story's progression is sure to be exciting.

In the game, she is a 5-star Imaginary Erudition character. No official details of her kit have been revealed as of yet, but unofficial information has leaked. She will have an enhanced Basic ATK from her Ultimate. This enhanced ATK is AoE and ignores Weakness Type.

For the English voiceover, Rappa is voiced by Kendell Byrd. Her previous roles and appearances include Genshin Impact (as Faranak, Kaveh's mother), Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and SMITE.

Meanwhile, Rappa's Japanese voice actor is Megumi Han. She's most known for voicing Gon Freecss from Hunter x Hunter, Shikanoko Noko from My Deer Friend Nokotan, and Jill Warrick from Final Fantasy XVI.

She will be playable on October 23, 2024 with the Honkai Star Rail version 2.6 update.
