HSR Fugue (5-star Tingyun): Leaked Kit, Release Date, Signature Light Cone

Honkai Star Rail’s 2.5 Trailblazing Continuance mission revealed a major mystery regarding Tingyun, one of the most loved characters in the verse. Ever since then, we have seen constant leaks about a new 5-star version of Tingyun named as Fugue in Honkai Star Rail, with recent leaks also revealing new Tingyun’s release window. However, the most we have learned about her kit is that she will be a Support character from the Nihility path with the Fire damage type. Thankfully, new leaks have revealed more information about the new 5-star Tingyun’s (Fugue) kit and she might be the next best Break support unit in the game.

HSR Fugue (5-star Tingyun): Drip Marketing, Rarity, Path, and Element Type

Fugue, Tingyun’s new 5-star form, has been confirmed to be a 5-star rarity character of the Nihility path and of Fire element type in her latest Drip Marketing. She is the first 5-star Nihility Fire character since Jiaoqiu and her kit is expected to be more inclined with increasing ally stats than debuffing enemies. Fugue appears to be the new name for Tingyun after her revival by Ruan Mei. She is expected to be a strong support character as her 4-star version is still an S-tier support.

HSR players are definitely familiar with Tingyun from the Xianzhou Luofu Trailblazing mission surrounding the Ambrosial Arbor incident. She was the Amicassador of the Whistling Flames merchant guild, before she was possessed by the Lord Ravager Phantylia and was only recently found to be revived by Ruan Mei. We will further learn about her story in the upcoming HSR 2.6 version.

Her Drip Marketing also mentions that the brand of the “Destruction still writhes with anticipation” on her, likely hinting that she is still connected to Phantylia in some way. The future of Fugue is yet to be seen, especially how she fits into the entire God Slayer protocol discussed in version 2.5.

Fugue’s Drip Marketing was leaked earlier before its official reveal, much like Sunday’s Drip Marketing. However, Hoyoverse did not make a response to it this time but rather posted the official Drip Marketing on the previously mentioned time.

Honkai Star Rail Fugue Release Date

Fugue, Tingyun’s new form, is confirmed to feature in the upcoming HSR 2.7 version with Sunday. The HSR 2.7 version can be expected to release around December 1, 2024, if we take into account the standard 42-day version cycle from Honkai Star Rail. Also the Drip Marketing order, Fugue is speculated to feature in the second phase of the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 version.

HSR Fugue (Tingun 5-star) Leaked Base Stats

Leaked information via HomDGcat has given us a ton of information on Fugue’s kit, base stats, and signature Light Cone. These are the leaked base stats of Fugue in HSR:

Honkai Star Rail Fugue Leaked Kit

We finally have a ton of details about Fugue’s kit from the HSR 2.7 beta leaks via HomDGcat. Let’s take a look first:

• Basic Attack(Radiant Streak): Deals Fire Damage equal to 100% of Fugue’s attack to a single enemy.
• Enhanced Basic Attack(Fiery Caress): Deals Blast Fire Damage equal to 100% of Fugue’s Attack to the main target and 50% of her attack to adjacent targets.
• Skill(Virtue Beckons Bliss): Grants “Foxian Prayer” to one ally, making that ally enter the Torrid Scorch state for 3 turns. In this state, the ally has their Break Effect increased by 40% and every time they attack, Fugue has a 100% base chance to reduce the Defense of the enemy targets by 18%, lasting for 2 turns. While in the “Torrid Scorch” state, Fugue cannot use Skill and her Basic ATK “Radiant Streak” is enhanced to “Fiery Caress.”
• Ultimate(Solar Splendor Shines Upon All): Deals AoE Fire Damage equal to 200% of Fugue’s Attack to all enemies. This instance of Attack ignores Weakness Type and deals Toughness damage to all enemies. Triggers the Fire Weakness break effect after enemies are weakness broken from this attack.
• Talent(Fortune Follows Where Virtue Spreads): While Fugue is on the field, all enemies have a reduced Toughness of 50% of their original. When weakness broken enemies are attacked by allies, converts the Toughness Reduction of this attack in to 1 instance of 100% Super Break Damage.
• Technique (Percipient Shine): Inflicts daze on enemies with a limited area for 10 seconds. While Dazed, enemies will not actively attack ally targets. After entering battle, Fugue’s action is advanced by 40% with a 100% base chance to inflict each enemy target with Fugue’s Skill’s debuff, lasting for 2 turns.
• Trace 1 (Phecda Primordia): When an enemy target’s Weakness gets broken, increases all allies’ Break Effect by 15%, lasting for 2 turns, stackable up to 2 times.
• Trace 2 (Sylvan Enigma): Increases Fugue’s Break Effect by 30%. Additionally, recovers 1 Skill Point after using her Skill for the first time.
• Trace 3 (Verdantia Renaissance): After ally targets break enemy weaknesses, additionally delays the action of the enemy target by 15%.
• Bonus Stats: 28% Effect Hit Rate, 24% Break Effect, 10% HP

Fugue’s leaked kit looks extremely good as a support for Break teams. She can increase the Break Effect of one ally with her Skill, and any enemy that ally damages has a reduced Defense. This Skill will pair really with an AoE DPS unit like Rappa. Her Ultimate also does a good amount of AoE Fire Damage that ignores enemy weaknesses and deals toughness damage. Furthermore, her talent sounds simply broken as it reduces enemy Toughness bar by 50% for all enemies with her just being in the team.

HSR Fugue Leaked Signature Light Cone: Long Road Leads Home

Long Road Leads Home is the leaked Signature Light Cone of Fugue (5-star Tingyun). Here are the leaked base stats and effect for Fugue’s signature Light Cone:

HSR Fugue (Tingun 5-star) Leaked Eidolons

Fugue’s Eidolons have also been leaked completely from the HSR 2.7 beta leaks via HomDGcat.

• E1(Earthbound I Was, Cloudward I be): The ally chosen with Fugue’s Skill has 50% increased Weakness Break Efficiency.
• E2(Beatitude of Dawns for the Worthy): Fugue regenerates 5 energy when an enemy’s weakness is broken. Additionally, when Fugue uses her Ultimate, she action advances all allies by 24%.
• E3 (Verity Weaves Thoughts to Blade): Skill Level + 2, Basic Attack Level + 1.
• E4(Bereft of Form, Which Name to Bear): After every attack used by the ally with “Foxian Prayer,” Fugue has a 100% base chance to increase the Damage taken by the attacked enemy target by 15%, lasting for 2 turns.
• E5 (Colored Cloud Rains Fortune): Ultimate Level + 2, Talent Level + 2.
• E6(Clairvoyance of Boom and Doom): Fugue’s Weakness Break Efficiency increases by 50%. While there is an ally target that has “Foxian Prayer” on the field, all allies are considered as having “Foxian Prayer.”

Now we have a ton of information on Fugue’s kit, Eidolons and other stats, but this is still an early leak and it will likely change over the 2.7 Beta period, until her official release. So far, Fugue looks to be a crazy strong Break support and she will pair really well with Firefly, Boothill and Rappa. Still, we have to wait and see how the new form of Tingyun compares with Ruan Mei, Robin, and Sparkle, and whether it will bring Nihility characters back in conversation for best support.
