Himeko

Overview

Though not explicitly stated, it is hinted that Himeko was studying Aerospace Engineering at Caltech. One day, she happened upon a damaged Astral Express train. With Akivili's help, Himeko was able to repair it, and travel across the stars. In return, Himeko became an Emanator of The Trailblaze, empowered with the Path, as she traveled on the train to explore the stars, pick up additional crewmembers for The Nameless, and seal Stellarons wherever they blocked the Path.

Gameplay

Though an ardent Pathstrider of The Trailblaze, in the game Himeko is considered a Fire-wielding follower of The Erudition. Wielding a portable sawblade, she can inflict Fire damage on a single target, or use her skill to deal additional damage to adjacent enemies. Her ultimate calls upon a giant space laser to heavily damage all enemies, regaining 5 Energy for her ultimate with each enemy killed in this manner. Himeko's passive Talent allows her to store up to 3 charges whenever an enemy has their weakness broken on the battlefield, unleashing an autonomous drone with a sawblade that damages all enemies as a follow-up attack when fully charged, after an ally's attack.

On the field, Himeko's Technique creates a small field that reduces all enemies' Fire resistance for a short period when entering battle.

Trivia

Despite bearing a strong resemblance to Himeko Murata from Honkai Impact 3rd, she is not the same person, as confirmed in a scene from the supplemental webcomic Alien Space.
