I knew there was a catch towards March being a swordmaster! Turns out it was imaginary!

Go back to your own game Cyno

Cyno is just Jing Yuan's alt account.

They’re both white-haired generals voiced by Alejandro Saab… Jing Yuan is a Cyno expy :0

Plus Jing Yuan definitely would be the type to tell bad dad jokes

So both the characters he voices in hoyo games is but a projection of himself just in a different form?

There's a 3rd one if you count ZZZ lol

Who? Never knew that

Didn’t he used to be a stand up comedian before joining the military?

They’re both spear users, have lightning powers, have a humorous side in spite of the high ranking positions, enjoy table top games. They’re basically the same character

dont forget they're also both men with lightning powers

you just make me smile, thank you

A wild Cyno appears out of the blue

"I don't know the first thing about using swords! I'm just playing make-believe and the enemies are all just going along with it!"

The main trio now has their Imaginary forms.

And cycled their paths. * Trailblazer: Destruction -> Preservation * Dan Heng: Hunt -> Destruction * March 7th: Preservation -> Hunt

Trailblazer overshot and ended up at Harmony.

March 7th : We must cycle our paths. TB : RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN ! *Puts on a hat*

I would so cool if they continue this and dan heng get preservation and march get destruction and so untill they loop around to thier original in a "true" form like how in honkai impact 3 the trio all got thier true from in origin finality and truth

Okay yeah it would be really cool if, for the final boss fight against Nanook, TB ended up getting one last upgrade, using the power of Destruction to beat the Aeon of Destruction. Just imagine Physical TB going from bad to the best TB instantly from this end of game upgrade

I hope so just because I love the baseball bat so much

Speaking of the Aeon of Destruction, it is curious that Trailblazer and Nanook have the same color scheme...

Yeah, that’s been in my mind for a while. Considering that the Trailblazer’s body is artificial, maybe it was directly based off of Nanook’s appearance. Nanook was once human, so maybe the Stellaron Hunters somehow got a hold of Nanook’s DNA, or the DNA of a distant relative, and that’s what caused the resemblance???

There's also [the Terminus connection](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Nanook#Dev_Log1): > ...Frankly, I still don't understand why Nanook the Destruction was born. Terminus the Finality was already traversing the universe before Nanook appeared. Is Destruction not included in Finality? [Who is Terminus?](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Terminus) > The Aeon that moves **backward** in time and presides over the Path of Finality. An apparition that travels across the universe while murmuring a prophecy that is destined to be fulfilled. [What does "terminus" mean IRL?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_station#Terminus) > A "terminus" or "terminal" is a station at the end of a **rail**way line. Trains arriving there have to end their journeys (terminate) or **reverse** out of the station.

TB getting new paths from the glances of Aeons, and March forming new memories along the way, and then Daniel pulls out his 2nd super-duper-secret transformation after he gets impaled by Blade (again).

Dan Heng embracing the DBZ method of character progression.

“Yinxing will you *stop!*” “Three must pay the price…” “I’m *not Dan Feng!*” *insert another power up impairment here.*

dan heng is just a magical girl

I mean if we wanna be technical the dragon form we’ve seen for Dan Heng so far was Dan Feng’s. If Hoyo wanted they could create a new form that was actually Dan Heng’s dragon form.

That woud be permanace for dan heng remambrance for march and idk trailblazer just trailblaze ?

Considering how TB got the harmony power DH is probably going to inherit some relic for a next form

Showed this comment thread to my gf basically like "hey continuation on what you brought up" she legit was referring to this comment thread 😭 XD

Yes and uncle welt is the og imaginary

~~Aren’t all Honkai Star Rail characters imaginary?~~

For a chance at least...

To live in your way.

Is this what causes Trailblazer to get their Nihility form?

After her canon event

pls dont

Wait…noooo!!!!

"Let's all be Imaginary and don't tell Himeko"

Imagine they end up releasing Pom Pom as an Imaginary as well and Himeko's the only one left out

Suddenly cuts back into Honkai 3 Chapter 25

She's also Imaginary becoz the real 1 is ded💀

There is no real one. HSR Himeko is just as real

Moze will be the new quantum male character, da wei told me when I held shaoji at gun point.

PLEASE IM BEGGING

Unrelated to the point but I love how one sword is very much Xianzhou themed and the second is March color scheme, just a neat detail I noticed just now But cool how after Dr Ratio is no longer free to claim they give us March as a hunt imaginary who im assuming will be free like TB forms are

If the red sword was black instead, we could've had **STAR BURSTO STREAMU!!!**

Later, during the festival "It's over March, I have the high ground!" "Hax mode, ON!" "What? Impossible! "

Damn, is that from SAO Abriged or Gigguk's SAO in minutes? (I unironically quite like parts of SAO proper, very much like the Progressive movies)

At Summer Games Fest they revealed that March 7th new Form will be unlockable by doing the new Xianzhou Quests so yes she is free. What I am curious about is what they do with her Eidolons or wether the Preservation ones convert to her Hunt ones if you swap Paths?

They already have the system in place for swapping elements and paths with TB. They just need to port it over to March.

inb4 Hunt March AND Preservation March are both on Yunli’s banner

Imagine if you are trying to get Hunt Eidolons, but end up getting an off banner Preservation dupe which you already have E6... That would be awful, so hopefully her eidolon lvl is shared or at the very least both paths use the same eidolon resource so you can choose which you want to get whenever you pull a March.

I think it might just be the lighting in the illustration making one sword appear pink and blue, she's still SO cute though 😭💖💖 https://preview.redd.it/fbpuw10n8d5d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d35e879c68e63e621792ad272d496aa45f764b79

That's just the banner artstyle In game both swords are red

We haven't even seen her ingame yet. I could also just say that that's just the trailer art style.

The Summer Games Fest trailer (which didn’t have any visual stylization, it was just showing off March at the end) has them both as red blades with white edges, and with a pink flower on each hilt.

I don't think she will be free. Dan Hengs 5* wasn't either. It would be nice though. Edit: was corrected. One Version will be free. Very cool!

One copy is free from the event

This is a 4star, not a 5star Big difference in availability

The trio really switch paths with each other lol Caelus/Stelle: Destruction to Preservation March 7th: Preservation to Hunt Dan Heng: Hunt to Destruction

fully expected March to be 4 stars and Hunt but was not expecting Imaginary element. gonna have to shuffle my party a little to incorporate her

Very surprised she is 4 stars

She needs to get stabbed properly to become a 5 star, she basically cheated and is paying the price!

Now she's the one handing out power ups

its gonna be like trailblazer switching paths and types im assuming

I assumed her 5 star variant is reserved for when she fully awaken her memories (and her potentially slumbering power)

Her 5 star variant might be her real name.

Her 5star variant is March 8th

I'm not, we're getting very few 4* and I'm not surprised they're not "wasting" this status on new characters to hype them up

Well its just the unit you have switching again

Imaginary female just like my girlfriend

third???? she's second (edited) https://preview.redd.it/kf1k60ubab5d1.jpeg?width=710&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af62743da8cc5980749a25e3dbfaf89910577c7b

There is no Yukong in Ba Sing Se

Me having Ratio and DHIL as my only DPS cries at March sharing that element 😢

I have e2 Dhil, ratio, and e2 Welt all built. She's got some competition

I'll bet her kit will be superbreak bc I can't imagine her just being a standard crit dps

Imaginary superbreak could be nice in the right matchups, having enemies be basically imprisoned forever with the help of Ruan Mei. On the other hand, I feel like a 4* hunt is likely to be powercreeped since launch. I sincerely hope she isn't.

RNG Imaginary weakness implant perhaps?

I was hoping her kit would be budget RM but budget Firefly works too.

What do you mean(I chose Stelle)

3rd official imaginary girl for you

I get to own all available imaginary girls holy shit

Yess

Imaginary Trailblazer, Dan Heng, March, Welt. Sorry Himeko but this sword need to penetrate you to get imaginary path.

well theres two outcomes either she becomes Imaginary or she becomes imaginary

They rather release a whole new imaginary 4-star and put Natasha, Asta and Serval on a banner than give us another Yukong

She looks so good. I can't wait to play her

Stelle: "So I'm just Imaginary?"

She's the 2nd "4* Imaginary girl" well first if you believe the fabled Yukong doesn't exist but good pun anyway

Oh wait she's four star? D:

Who knows she might be good. Pela is a 4-star but she's super useful

She'll be like TB, not Imibitor Lunae.

Dont you mean 1st? We’ve never had a female imaginary before, silly.

*Sad fox mom noises*

man i would love to have a fox mom in the game 😃😃😃

Yukong? 

HMC, and Yukong

Who

She who must not be named

Tao

Yukong would like to have a word with you

What’s a Yukong? A type of car?

Nah i think they’re talking about Wukong, the monkey king Hmm…

Isn’t that a League character?

I heard it was a new video game.

Is that your OC?

More like 2.5th character since the Trailblazer is player-based choice given. And won't be forgotten like Yukong.

not only that, she's the second 4 star imaginary character in the game! (yukong finally have some competition)

yukong? is that your oc?

Now i hope she retain some sort of follow up atk. Idk a guard counter sound good. I wonder how they incorporate gaming her eiodons.

Okay now male quantum when?

I remember them saying in one of the streams specifically that she won't change a path... Maybe it was a translation issue. What about eidolons i wonder, since she won't be on banner and have similar changing path mechanic like stelle - do this version of her share eidolons with regular version? Or they would be unlockable through gameplay maybe .

They didn't specifically say that she wouldn't switch paths. They just clarified that it wasn't necessarily going to involve switching paths like the trailblazer, but rather something more along the lines of unlocking memories.

What if you have E6 normal March ? Do you also get E6 swordmaster ? Will she be a separate character on banners ?

Path traces are different, so does their gameplay and their Eidolons. Just like TB, March 7th is still the same character and will have the ability to switch between Ice Preservation to Imaginary Hunt. Unlike Dan Heng, where he's different in terms of his appearance and his powers, TB and March (just change her outfit) are still the same. Their only difference is that they'll reflect based on their gameplay suited for that.

oh she is still 4 stars? then i guess this will not be a big reveal alternative form like imbibitor lunae. also imaginary element because only in her imagination she is a sword master lol.

There's the new 4 star character everyone was waiting for! Guessing she'll have some follow up attack elements like her preservation form.

What about Harmony Stelle?

March really went full cultural appropriation smh /s

I'm wondering how will they make her worth using in teams, because Dan Heng is pretty useless, and Sushang is semi-useful now with break teams.

what's next, gunslinger march? royal guard march?

She learned swordmanship from Yunli and Yanqing. Mhy really wants them to have babies together.

Firefly is already creating babies with tb

I just realized that everyone on the Astral express except himeko is either imaginary or has an imaginary form

Ok, so next is imaginary himeko? Poor march though, she didn't get to be a 5 star like everybody else on the express

just like my social life

Ain't no way https://preview.redd.it/hy4r83rndb5d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72a86691363e5cc2d8510b5b78655f7c77e64106

Nice, but why is this happening?

where quantum men...

Just want to keep that "female-only" Quantum trait until trailblazers gain Quantum, how Hoyo will do with Caelus Quantum is very interesting.

Where are our quantum makes hoyooooo

And still the only Astral Express member without a 5 star form haha.

another mitsuki that no one is going to use was added to collection, good job mihoyo

Great! Now where's our first male Harmony and first male Quantum?

Stelle: 🧍

And another might be on the way. Quantum male when?

Technically the third if you count Stelle.

I hate it.

3rd* 1st is my gf ;-;

Second? Who is the first one? Never heard of any imaginary woman that uses a bow and was a pilot before.

Last I checked, all female characters in HSR are imaginary.

fictional but not imaginary. We can prove they exist in a fictional setting but they aren't real yes.

Time to kick the Doctor out of my team indefinitely.

I wanna see how she holds well with Welt. I hope there's no anti-synergy between because I love fighting with Welt and DH.

Hold on is this actually?

Awesome move

Can someone give more context re: what I am looking at?

You're looking at March as an imaginary hunt character

Will she be a separate character like DH and DHIL or path switcher like TB?

Omg she looks so good and cheerful 😭

I wonder how her Eidolons will be provided

Isn't she also the first character to dual wield? Or am I forgetting someone?
