If you weren’t planning on trying to get Kafka in the Honkai: Star Rail game, her new character preview would convince me. It shows off how amazing she is: her smooth voice, cool fighting moves, and elegant appearance– perfect.
The best part, as usual, is the sound: Kafka’s love for classical music is heard with violins and Vivaldi’s Winter, which then gets intense to match the chaotic and violent action she does in the video.
So, what do we learn about Kafka? If you watch all the trailers for the Stellaron Hunters, the characters you can play in Honkai: Star Rail, you’ll notice they each have a price on their heads shown.
Silver Wolf is worth 5.1 billion Credits, Blade is worth 8.13 billion, and Kafka’s bounty is even higher at a whopping 10.899 billion. She’s a tough character. And it’s clear why: in the trailer, Kafka is causing a lot of violence while sneaking into a facility probably owned by the IPC.
Her victims are IPC guards, and she’s controlling their minds, making them attack each other and even killing one of them without hesitation. None of the Stellaron Hunters we’ve seen – not even Blade – has gone this far.
However, based on the current story within the game, it’s challenging to view Kafka as a complete villain. The Stellaron Hunters don’t seem to have many moral restrictions regarding achieving their objectives.
Still, there’s a sense that their ultimate goal might be similar to that of the Trailblazers. To put it more simply, this trailer is awe-inspiring, and once again, the creators at HoYoverse have outdone themselves.
Both Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail have showcased some truly exceptional pieces of work. Kafka’s character will become available on August 9, 2023. So, best of luck to those planning to try and obtain her.
