Star Rail Crossover Characters From Fate/Stay Night

At the Honkai: Star Rail concert, we learned that the characters that will appear as part of the Fate/Stay Night crossover will be Saber and Archer. The event will start on July 11, 2025. Both will be five-star units, and Archer will be given away as a free login reward. The event also teased a new Honkai game, which could be the teased Honkai: Nexus Anima.

The Archer and Saber crossover characters will show up in Honkai: Star Rail alongside “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail,” the Fate/Stay Night event. This is confimred to actually bring the Holy Grail War to the game, with the Trailblazer and Astral Express members taking part. Kinoko Nasu worked on the story, and Takashi Takeuchi drew the new character designs and art. 

As for the units, both will be focused on dealing damage to enemies, albeit in different ways. Archer, the free units we’ll all be guaranteed to get in addition to being on a banner, is going to be a Hunt character who deals Quantum-type damage. This means he’ll be focused on dealing as much pain to one enemy as possible. Meanwhile, Saber will be a Wind Destruction character. This means she’ll likely deal damage in the same way that Blade, Firefly, and Jingliu do. She will have options of hitting one foe, but there will also be opportunities for AOE hits depending on the ability used. We’ll only be able to get Saber from the banner, though she will appear as an NPC in the event story.

Here’s how both will look:

While the whole concert is delisted, there are two single videos available. One is the “Hope Is the Thing With Feathers,” which you can watch below:
