A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak has shed new light on Castorice’s rumored ability to revive fallen allies during combat. Set to debut in Version 3.2, Castorice will join the game as a 5-star Quantum Remembrance unit, making her one of the most anticipated characters in the upcoming update.
Castorice’s Role in Honkai: Star Rail
Players first encountered Castorice in the Version 3.0 update when the Trailblazer reached Amphoreus. As a Chrysos Heir, she wields a formidable power—the ability to take lives with a single touch. Since her initial appearance, Castorice has captivated fans, with many eagerly awaiting her addition to the playable roster.
HoYoverse has confirmed that Castorice will debut in the first phase of the Version 3.2 banners, but leaks surrounding her kit have sparked mixed reactions within the community.
Leaked Revive Mechanic: “Moon Cocoon” State
According to recent leaks, Castorice possesses a passive ability that allows her to revive a defeated ally once per battle, even when she is off-field. Reports suggest that the revived character will enter a special “Lunar Cocoon” or “Moon Cocoon” state, which grants them temporary protection but does not fully restore their HP.
Prominent leaker HomDGCat has also revealed that this revive mechanic will function in endgame modes, including Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Simulated Universe, making her an invaluable asset for difficult content.
Additionally, a new in-game text panel is expected to appear when Castorice revives a teammate, displaying the message:
“Castorice protected you. Quickly use heal or shielding abilities on Moon Cocoon targets.”
This suggests that while Castorice can bring allies back to life, they remain vulnerable until properly healed or shielded—requiring strategic play to prevent immediate defeat.
Mixed Reactions from the Community
The Honkai: Star Rail player base has had divided reactions to Castorice’s rumored passive ability. While some are excited about the introduction of a revive mechanic, others worry that her global revive could create a power gap between new and older characters.
Many players have already voiced concerns about power creep, arguing that newer units feel significantly stronger than early-game characters. Some fear that Castorice’s revive ability will give her an unfair advantage, making it harder for those who don’t obtain her to compete in high-difficulty content.
In response to ongoing balance discussions, HoYoverse has acknowledged these concerns and assured fans that early-game characters will receive buffs over time. However, whether these buffs will be enough to keep up with powerful new Amphoreus characters remains to be seen.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 and Anniversary Rewards
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 is set to launch in April, coinciding with the game’s second anniversary. Players can expect the usual celebratory rewards, such as extra Stellar Jades, along with a special Honkai: Star Rail giveaway related to the game’s first official art book.
With Castorice’s banner just months away, fans are eager to see whether her rumored revive mechanic will live up to expectations—or spark further balance debates.
