HSR 4.1 New Characters
Ashveil
Ashveil is a 5★ Lightning Hunt character whose kit revolves around marking one enemy as “Bait” to focus damage: his Skill applies Bait and deals Lightning damage, reduces all enemies’ DEF while Bait exists, and if the same target is already marked, it refunds a Skill Point. His Ultimate re-marks the enemy, hits hard, gives extra Charges, and triggers an enhanced follow-up that can spend a resource called Gluttony for even more damage. His Talent consumes Charges to automatically fire follow-up attacks on the Baited target when allies hit it, generating Gluttony, and his Technique can inflict Daze before combat and give him early Charge. While he’s on the field, allies’ follow-up damage and CRIT DMG are greatly increased, making him strong in teams that attack the same target frequently. Overall his playstyle is about keeping Bait on a priority enemy, triggering follow-ups with teammates, and amplifying team damage through DEF shred and buffs.
HSR 4.1 New Light Cone
The Finale of a Lie
HP: 1058丨 ATK: 582丨DEF: 463
R1: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 18%. At the start of battle or for every 4 instance(s) of Follow-Up ATK the wearer uses, the wearer gains "Umbra Devourer," lasting for 3 turn(s). While the wearer has "Umbra Devourer," increases ATK by 40% and increases the DMG taken by all enemies by 20%. Effects of the same kind cannot stack.
Elation Brimming With Blessings
HP: 953丨 ATK: 529丨DEF: 463
R1: Increases the wearer's ATK by 20%. After the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate on one ally character, increases the target's Elation stat by 12% for 2 turn(s).
HSR 4.1 New Ornaments
Punklorde Stage Zero
2-Pc: Increases the wearer's Elation by 8%. When Elation reaches 40%/80% for the first time in battle, increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20%/32%.
City of Converging Stars
2-Pc: When the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK, increases their ATK by 24% for 2 turn(s). When an enemy target is defeated, increases CRIT DMG for all allies by 12% for the rest of the current battle. This effect cannot stack.
Final Thoughts
Even with its shortened schedule, Version 4.1 looks far from a filler patch. Ashveil’s debut combined with rumored reruns of Robin and Feixiao makes this a version worth preparing for. Keep an eye on official announcements for confirmation, and consider planning your pulls early — four weeks can pass quickly.
