Cover-Credits:
Topaz is a 5-star Fire character who is set to arrive in patch 1.4. Unlike Dan Heng, Seele or Sushang, Topaz has a very different playstyle with the character being able to bring summons into battle. This is the first time in Honkai Star Rail that we are getting a character with a summoner playstyle. Topaz treads on the Path of the Hunt and calls upon Trotters to fight by your side. She is expected to arrive in Honkai Star Rail’s 1.4 update. Here’s what we know about Topaz’s release date, abilities and eidolons.
Who is Topaz in Honkai Star Rail?
Unlike a lot of other upcoming characters, we do not know much about Topaz. She is featured in the Light Cone “Trend of the Universal Market” but we have not interacted with her in the game’s storyline yet.
When will Topaz release in Honkai Star Rail?
Topaz is expected to arrive in the second-half of Honkai Star Rail’s patch 1.4, which should be around 1st November.
Honkai Star Rail 1.4: Topaz Abilities
Basic Attack: Deals Fire DMG equal to % of Topaz’s ATK to a single enemy target.

Technique: After using her technique, the creature is released from bondage at the start of the next battle, and after taking one turn, returns to bondage status.
Honkai Star Rail1.4: Topaz Eidolons
