HSR 4.1 Banners Leaks: Ashveil and Nihilux

Hello, Trailblazers! The Honkai Star Rail post the Version 4.0 new characters drip marketing recently. Right now, the most consistent leak talk is pointing toward two possible new faces in Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.1

*Note: All information is based on leaks and speculation. Please refer to official announcements for final confirmation!

HSR 4.1 Banner Leak

7 characters revealed: Yao Guang, Sparxie, Evanescia, Ashveil, Blade, Nihilux, Silver Wolf!

Bold predictions ahead!

First off, Yao Guang and Sparxie are all but confirmed to be the banner debut characters for Version 4.0.

Next, Evanescia — also known as Yae Sakura — is rumored to be the headlining character of the 4.x series. Chances are she won’t be released in Version 4.1; most likely, she’ll save her grand entrance for the 3rd Anniversary event.

Then there’s Blade SP, which some leaks claim will drop in Version 4.3’s banners. As for Silver Wolf, her border frame in this promotional art is in a class of its own — a strong hint that she might share the spotlight with Yae Sakura during the anniversary celebrations, wouldn’t you say?

That leaves just two characters left: Ashveil and Nihilux!

Ashveil 

Is it possibly Boothill SP? —— “Ashveil” is a pun on “Desperado”, the subclass of the game’s “Galaxy Rangers ”. As for “True Aha”, it is a playful twist built on the original “Aha” (the Aeon of Elation) in the game lore — the prefix “True” amplifies the humorous implication of this being the “real Aha”.
The line — “He stirs, he yawns, and ... — Aha.” — directly echoes the name “Aha”, creating a pun that links the sound of a yawn to the Aeon’s moniker. It not only fits the mischievous, meme-loving persona of the Aeon of Elation, but also injects extra comical charm into this “True Aha” character..

Visually, it adopts a trendy manga art style. The highly saturated color palette of purple, red and black brims with dynamism. The character’s look — featuring long curly hair, a top hat and a tailored trench coat — retains the flamboyance of anime aesthetics while blending in the aura of a gentleman thief. This design forms an amusing echo of the Aeon of Elation’s free-spirited and casual character setting.

Nihilux

The character design of Nihilux continues the trendy manga art style, with a predominantly gray-white color scheme accented by pinkish purple and black, creating an atmosphere that is both sharp and sassy. Her beret, monocle and tailored jacket blend the elegance of an intellectual femme fatale with the cheekiness of a phantom thief girl, striking an endearing contrast with her playful character gimmick as the “Mother of Aeons”..

“Nihilux”, also known as “Origin: Aha”, is another playful nod to Aha’s lore, implying that she is the origin or mother of Aha — a detail that aligns perfectly with the lines below the character design. The phrases in the photo seem to hint at a hilarious twist: could Aha actually be a character she created in her stories?
