During The Game Awards 2023, HoYoVerse offered a closer look at the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail character Black Swan and we heard her English voice actress. Now we know more about her rank, path, element, and voice actors in other languages.
First, Black Swan is a Nihility character in the game. This means that her primary function in the party is to debuff the enemy, break it, and inflict DOT status effects. Other five-star characters on this same path include Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Welt. Her element is Wind, meaning she’ll be the second Wind Nihility character in Honkai: Star Rail. The first is Sampo, who is a four-star unit that has been a part of the game since launch.
As for the Black Swan Honkai: Star Rail voice actress, we heard Arryn Zech as her English one during the TGA 2023 trailer. Zech also played Blake Belladonna in RWBY. Hitomi Nabatame plays her in the Japanese dub. Nabatame also played Symmetra in the Japanese dub of Overwatch, Amy in Soulcalibur games, Nanao in Bleach, and Cure Heart in Precure.
Here’s the official profile and art. It confirms she’s a Garden of Recollection Memokeeper, which could mean we’ll learn more about another person’s lore due to their connection to that group and the Forgotten Hall.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. We should see Black Swan appear as a playable character the update after 1.6 alongside Acheron. The 1.6 update will appear at the end of December 2023, with the Special Program for it appearing on December 15, 2023.
