Who is Xueyi in Honkai: Star Rail?

Xueyi is set to be a four-star character who uses ice powers and wields a spear with a red and blue glow. She can be spotted twice in the Interstellar Journey launch trailer for Honkai.

Xueyi is a judge for the Ten-Lords Commission and is currently one of the NPCs (Non Player Character) found on the Xianzhou Luofu. She is allied with the Xianzhou Alliance and appears in a number of cutscenes. 

As a judge she oversees sending the souls of the mara-struck and those near death to the Hall of Karma located at the bottom of Xianzhou where the souls of the dead are kept. She is also responsible for the detention, incarceration, interrogation, and punishment of criminals.

Xueyi is voiced by Japanese-American Voice Actor Jenny Yokobori. Yokobori has also voiced Yoimiya in Genshin Impact, Evie in Fortnite and Wanda in One Piece. On 19th May, Yokobori tweeted out about her voicing Xueyi in the game and thanked the Voice Director Philip Bache and the developers for their support.

Even though her splash art was released in the beta, there will likely be a few updates till we see Xueyi released in the game. Honkai Star Rail Version 1.1 banner characters will likely be the five-star Loucha, Silver Wolf and the four-star YuKong. However, YuKong’s release is still unconfirmed. Upon release, she will be the second playable puppet character after Herta in the roster.

Here is the model for Xueyi in Honkai: Star Rail.

According to ClutchPoints, Xueyi’s ability set will be as follows: 

Skill

Xueyi deals Quantum DMG to a specific enemy equal to % of her ATK, nearby enemies take Quantum DMG equal to % of her ATK.

Ultimate

Xueyi deals Quantum DMG equal to % of her attack to a specific enemy, which ignores a portion of DEF and applies DEF Reduction. Each layer of “Vendetta” obtained during this attack increases the damage dealt by %, up to a maximum increase of %.

Talent

When Xueyi deals damage to an enemy, she gains up to 6 stacks of “Vendetta.” When she gains full stacks, Xueyi immediately launches an additional attack, dealing three instances of Quantum DMG to a random enemy equal to % of her attack. If the target’s weakness is Quantum, the damage dealt by this attack is increased by %.
