Honkai Star Rail Castorice Guide

Honkai Star Rail Castorice is a 5-star Quantum character, introduced in Version 3.2. She follows the Path of Remembrance and hails from snowy Aidonia. Known as the “Servant of Death,” she carries a curse called the “Touch of Death,” causing anyone she touches to die. Despite her eerie power, Honkai Star Rail Castorice is shy and quiet, often finding comfort in plush toys. In battle, she summons a memosprite to deal Quantum damage and apply debuffs.
