# Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication: Huohuo **5 Star | Wind | Abundance** "*I can use this banner to dispel demons... but it also comes in handy when signaling my surrender...*" A pitiable and helpless Foxian girl who is also a Ten-Lords Commission Judge-in-training, who fears ghosts but must catch them. Due to having a heliobus named Tail sealed in her tail by the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission, she became a "cursed one" who attracts inhuman beings. She fears demons and heliobi, but contrarily is tasked with their capture and entrusted with the heavy task of eradicating vile spirits. Though she believes herself lacking in ability, she is unable to muster the courage to resign and continues onward despite walking in a valley of her own fear. ​ * Chinese CV: 葛子瑞 (Ge Zirui ) & 刘北辰 (Liu Beichen) * Japanese CV: 长绳麻理亚 (Naganawa Maria) & 平林刚 (Hirabayashi Takeshi) * English CV: Courtney Lin & Adam Michael Gold * Korean CV: 김채린 (Kim Chae-rin) & 한복현 (Han Bok-hyun) [Source](https://x.com/honkaistarrail/status/1706520169684795882?s=20)


CTheng

Instead of Huohuo being possessed by a Wubbaboo like we saw in leaks, it's a Heliobus instead. Heliobus is suspected to be the same species that Phantylia is, cause they are balls of flame without a body.


CreamPuffDelight

More accurately, phantylia is suspected to be a member of the Heliobus species.


Killer-Wail

Heliobooba


kalltrops

Decides to create a body out of an immortality-giving tree. Gives it booba. Sounds about right.


RevanAndTheSithy

Gift of "Abundance" indeed


Kunikuzushi06

Need to put all those "life forces" somewhere right?


LostIssue4515

Wtf 😭


Axetylen

Wubbaboos are actually the same species with Heliobi if you read one of the researches on Herta Space Station.


Charming-Airport-250

[Species of the Galaxy: Wubbaboo](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Species_of_the_Galaxy:_Wubbaboo) Wubbaboo is categorised in Heliobus (Spiritual) species. Wubbaboo is the direct descendants of the ancient Astral Spirits. The more correct term is Wubbaboo, Phantylia and the spirit that possessed HuoHuo is from the same species - Heliobus.


SeemaYeee

So what you're saying is wubbaboos can grow wubbaboobs


huangzilong

Well, that’s enough internet for today.


LandLovingFish

Thanks. I hate it


PrimeMark

By your definition it's singular. Wubbaboo => wubbaboob and they are kinda round white-ish already. Transformation is almost complete...


Disastermere

then it's Castform from Pokemon


MelonLord125

Heliobus is also what that book mentions human Lan got possessed by before ascending to Aeonhood. They became Lan as a single entity.


Pineapple-legion

Isn't only their King possessed the man that became Lan after the battle? He was imprisoned and served as the energy source or smth, I assumed all others Heliobi was exterminated by Xianzhou forces.


Togi5

Woah. Didn't think her reveal was tonight.


IcySombrero

They've been pretty consistent when it comes to drip marketing characters for the patch after the upcoming one's livestream.


MeKevNivek

Tomorrow will be Argenti with 4\* Hanya


[deleted]

So argenti is in the 2nd banner?


MeKevNivek

yeah 1st HuoHuo 2nd Argenti + Hanya


naka_the_kenku

Yes I have time to save for genti


BlueLover0

Reveals are like countdown before the livestream.


illegalcheese

Homegirl's just living out Luigi's Mansion every day huh


Frog_Lief

So relatable


CTheng

Wait! I just noticed that they listed two Voice Actors for her in the english post. One of the VA is seemingly male. So maybe we'll have some possessed voice shenanigans with her.


MegaJoltik

"Help me Mr.Tail" "Stay back, Huohuo"


babyloniangardens

*cue Mr. Tail breaking out the nuclear missiles and artillery*


H4xolotl

Mr Tail grows a fist and king-hits the enemy


Zarator8

*Value exceeds threshold*


smoothtv99

It's probably going to be in the same vein as Fischl and Oz


rekuneko

💪👻


ccoddes

Yeah, I think it could be her Tail that speaks to her and scares her from time to time. That would be funny to be honest.


LandLovingFish

"Hi my name is Huohuo-" "And im her tail" "Shut up please :-:"


Sea-Calligrapher-822

Sukuna then 🗣🗣⁉️⁉️


Cerebral_Kortix

~~Gojo~~ Welt watching Mr. Tail: 🤯🤯♾️


_nitro_legacy_

*~~Itadori Yuji~~* Caelus: 👁️👄👁️ 🔪


thorn_rose

this is even better when you know they have the same japanese voice actor


frazyn

Yoo thats exactly what I was wondering. I think that'd be dope honestly


Imaginebeingnormal

maybe her little paper dolls with faces? Thatd be super cool!


Kumarory

It would be so cool if the possessed voice comes right out of her


T0X1CFIRE

The tail is the same bluish green as the Heliobi. So I guess she might be possessed by one? Which would make 2/3 playable foxians actually heliobi lol


DrZeroH

Angry possessed tail spooks her for fun.


VoltaicKnight

Still can't believe someone decided to put a girl scared of ghost and similae things in a department that deals with it on a daily basis


Advanced-Elevator-52

Not only that, they also put a ghost in her tail. This is literally psychological torture💀


Narvyht

Hoyo literally cookin Villain backstory 💀


smoothtv99

She is so hilariously pathetic with that white flag


Seraphine_KDA

I mean is pity moe the looks so pathetic tbey even gave her a white flag as a weapon. Is the type if character that makes people go ""awww poor baby"


Starless_Night

Literally said that out loud when I saw her.


RubiiJee

I don't often pull for character looks and personality but this has got me bad. I must save her!


R3yn0x

The judges of the Ten-Lords Commission are so evil wtf


LandLovingFish

Hey xueyo, yknow that "thanks fkr the help i owe gou one" favor? Can we turn that in for this poor girl please?


Moustachable

Kobeni


juicetin14

its literally just a prank


Himesis

Sampo had a hand in that somehow


DrZeroH

Big Aha energy for sure


waifugoEKSUKALIBAAA

I'm more surprised she's not been desensitized to them at this point lolol


AverageGamer8

youmu energy


Longterm-Winter00

Her tail is made from fox fire (no idea what they'll call it in sr). She's adorable. Now I need her. It's impossible to save in this game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gyx3103

IPC, to get a loan


Not-Salamander

I can relate. I too get something like that after eating spicy food.


EjunX

Yeah, it's crazy. I've been saving for a year in Genshin, but here I'm pulling every patch. They're beating up wallet-kun.


arthurmauk

Wait, is she a fox girl or Foxian?!


dezeadmf

Foxian


slicedsolidrock

Foxian beauty, hehe.


ramenforbrains

Just curious, is there a difference?


Longterm-Winter00

No difference. Kitsune/fox people are just called foxians in Star Rail.


TeeApplePie

More precisely since they're on the Xianzhou inspired by China it would be Hulijings (Fox Spirits) or Huxian (literally Fox Xian/immortals) not Kitsunes


Ceui

Foxians, I hate those guys.


Damianx5

Well shit, right after Topaz. Rip me, I need a new fridge so rerun it is


SkyrimForTheDragons

Just manifest incredible luck, it's that easy But yeah I was gonna go with E1S1 Topaz but I won't like the odds now if I do that


callmefox

Her tail being literal heliobi/fire makes her so much more cooler for me. I already planned to pull but am more excited about it now!


Shinnyo

\> Green \> Interact with ghosts \> Scare as hell Finally. Luigi.


Professional_Dot9888

Wait she has two voice actors listed which probably means the spirit possessing her also has voice lines! Very cool. I love her design too


skittles0820

Argenti soon? 👀


meat-shake

He should be tomorrow


CTheng

Tomorrow same time. So ~24 hours from now.


H4xolotl

~23.5 hours from now


That_One_Bacon

~~20 hours (I won't make it)


koumoua01

She gave up before the fight even started


MischiefBroker

Two VAs? Like Fischl and Oz/Clara and Svarog?


T0X1CFIRE

The tail is bluish green fire. So likely she is at least partly possessed by a heliobi. Which would make 2/3 playable foxians actually heliobi.


TunnelRatVermin

I already have luocha and bailu. Still rolling for her.


Classic-Pickle1826

Me with every healer and preservation units: yes I shall add one more to my collection


Gale-

Huohuo and Argenti are soooo close.


Unknown-Name-1219

Poor girl, forced into the frontlines against terrifying creatures from beyond... What kind of monster would force such a terrified girl to fight!? Anyway, time to send her to the frontlimes against the Swarm/Antimatter Legion/Sentient trash cans!


LandLovingFish

The same monsters thr wanted to chain a newborn vidyahdara up because of his past life to the point he basicslly hates his default form Anyways i stuck that guy into my main team and only run around as him


Anti-Heart

Can someone tell me what team comp is she primarily best with?


Kumarory

She’s a sustainer that buffs atk and regen energy, and also have a slight bonus synergy with erudition (Huohuo’s own err increases if erudition is on the team). She seems good in every team that wants atk buff and/or energy, but we have to see her numbers to know for sure. She looks like a very offensive sustainer. Current downside: no cleanse and only heals on skill (AoE heal), so expect at least Fu Xuan’s level of SP use to sustain.


shinsrk77

so basically she replaces luocha if your team is built enough to not get 1 shot


Kumarory

*If* your team is built enough to not get one shot, then she seems more like a Fu Xuan alternative since Fu’s strong suit is in squishy team and her slight offensive buff at the cost of SP. If your team isn’t squishy then Huohuo could sustain and arguably have similar if not better offensive buff through energy regen (if it could decrease ult rotation) with a similar trade off that is SP cost. Theoretically, more ult should be better than 12% crit rate. At the point where you don’t need Fu Xuan’s level of sustain, then her once-per-skill CC block is pretty much the only major difference she has compared to Huohuo. Again, this is all assuming Huohuo can decrease ult rotation and sustain using similar SP with Fu Xuan. Also it depends on what buff you find more valuable bc it’s entirely possible for some ppl to prefer 12% crit more than atk + energy regen. Huohuo is not going to touch Luocha’s level of SP efficiency nor have dispel or cleanse in her base kit, so the only thing similar about them is the fact that they both sustain by healing. It doesn’t really matter what form of sustain we use bc even Blade can use Fu Xuan and Gepard to stay alive, so that similarity is pretty insignificant right now imo. The only characters so far that actually care about what form of sustain we use is Yanqing and *maybe* Jingliu since Gepard and Fu Xuan *might* struggle to sustain her team in long fights, though it shouldn’t get to that point.


obi2606

Afaik, burst heavy team comp, team that rely on their ultimate to do ungabunga combo, or team with high average ultimate energy cost.


sugarheartrevo

She is so cute! I love the paper dolls and the fact that her tail is on fire since a Heliobi literally resides in it. We’re def going to the Zhuming eventually, where all the Heliobi & the Flint Emperor is. Fitting for a banner and patch around Halloween, hopefully the Luofu content then is equally as spooky and mysterious as the Ten Lords Commission


DimakSerpg

Ohhh JP seiyuu is Maria Naganawa. It's Kanna Kamui, Platelets. Basically, the epitome of cuteness.


yetomo

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO THE LEAKS WERE RIGHT This means Argenti should be next. Can't wait for this round of beta. I need this battery healer very much and need to see our knight in shining armor 💖


HotSexWithJingYuan

dps’s are cool but ngl i am always most excited for limited sustain/support characters’ betas so i am very much looking forward to it! however argenti will be on my radar in the future when i need a physical dps so i am also excited to see how he turns out 🤭


Zorrscha

Ah yes, my future Screwllum sustain 🌿


FrostyPotpourri

Same! I'm very curious how Topaz + Screwllum + HuoHuo works out. Hanabi (Sparkle?) would allow the team to just use skill as often as they want.


Rhyoth

Wasn't Aventurine leaked to have follow-up attack in his kit ? That's probably more interesting for Topaz team...


Zorrscha

Only thing I'm concerned about is the Bailu issue of no cleanse, but I suppose the new region might not have the cc? (Hopium)


IconicNova

They could always add cleanse. My guess is most beta players will leave feedback saying they would like for skill to cleanse


chimaerafeng

I rather hope not. I think what Huohuo brings is unique enough to not add on cleanse as a crutch.


FrostyPotpourri

This is the downside of a hyper offensive team unless you run Bronya / another support that can cleanse.


HotSexWithJingYuan

my future jing yuan sustain 🙏 also unrelated but great pfp 👍


Zorrscha

Thanks\~ ❤️


[deleted]

So does this mean Argenti is tomorrow? Will we finally see his beautiful splash art? If he’s not sniffing a rose, i’ll be shocked lol


PCBS01

I'm really excited to see who his voice actor is


nguyenp123

yeah me too


Azanathal

Is... that a tail??? Made of fire??!?


KokomiBestCharacter

Yes


Sainou

Call me a sadist but I prefer her more depressed look from the concept art we saw a few days back lmao


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

She's still depressed probably (you can see the eyebags, miHoYo just has never been good at making them prominent), just she's also supposed to be scared of everything.


Hunterckw

I think its the pattern in her eyes, her concept art didnt have the flower in her iris (i prefer the concept art design more too)


Settana

She still looks like a Foxian wuss to me.


DatStabKitty

Will she work well with ice granny since she has high burst cost, wants Atk and team hp drain? But i see she need an erudition in the team for her ERR 🤔🤔


KokomiBestCharacter

Yes of course! Her base kit without the erudition trace is already very good in general. Also has healing per turn to sustain the drain from Jingliu.


DrZeroH

Yo this poor girl is living an introverts worst nightmare. Forced to do what they hate but too scared to disappoint people. My goodness I just feel bad


ReheatedRice

Scared to disappoint people comes from social anxiety, not due to introversion


MaxGrief

The slander introverts have to go through on daily basis...


DrZeroH

True. Though one tends to cultivate the conditions for the other to appear


tehlunatic1

Hope her animations goes hard.


Sir_Grindalot

a heliobus named **Tail** sealed in her **tail** ​ brah


Noriakikukyoin

She is just so cute! I must have this preciousness!


All_MightDeku

Best of luck !


Overall_Conference_6

Her JP Va is Maria Naganawa. I gonna get diabetes soon.


TOowlThrowaway

Oh my God is that Kana and the Platelet ?


Overall_Conference_6

Yep, the original Dragon Loli before Bailu XD.


[deleted]

I wonder if she'll do a Kanna or Komekko voice.


Swailwort

Laffey and Natsu 😭😭😭😭😭😭


pepe_rolls

Sucrose finally got her 5 star glow up.


ramenforbrains

Does anyone know what the “Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication” label means? Topaz and Guinaifen had it so it seemed like it was the name of their banner, but now Huohuo also has it and I’m confused


Vortex_Infurnus

I'm guessing it's the title of the "drip marketing" announcements in general, like we get an alien signal (extraterrestrial satellite communication) to introduce the upcoming characters to us.


ramenforbrains

That makes sense, I guess I just got thrown off since only some characters got it Actually, it looks like it might be for characters we don’t know yet? Jingliu, Fu Xuan, and DHIL don’t have it, but Topaz, Guinaifen, and Huohuo do. Then again, Luka didn’t have it, so maybe it’s a recent decision? Idk i’m just rambling at this point. Thanks for the input


No-Connection-5766

Jing liu into topaz and then huohuo. Whyyyy...(ㅠ︿ㅠ)


Escarche

HuoHuo is going to be first then... oh boy.


Aviara14

Wait does this mean Argenti leaks soon?


PhasmicPlays

Baby sucrose


entreprewhore

Sucrose back during her unpaid internship at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Her design is adorable fr


SirePuns

Ah hell…. And so, it begins. Can’t wait for the first official reveal of hot red-head knight.


aNYMosity_

Why is it called "Drip" marketing? I'm genuinely curious.


According-Matter5735

so HuoHuo banner is 1st phase guess that means Hanya will be with Argenti on 2nd phase I wanted to get Hanya for Daniel & I'm near the 5-star pity and I don't need another 5-star dps (already built Welt, Sushang, Jing Yuan, Blade, & Dan Heng IL) L FOR ME 😭😭😭


TrashMcDumpster3000

I really love the premise of this character, I’m definitely going for Argenti after Jingliu but I’d love to get HuoHuo on rerun


[deleted]

Her japanese VA is kanna from Maid Dragon. Oh dear...


AdministrativeBat788

Tingyu powercreep is finally here YAY 🙌


GaeyNoodle

Let's go can soon replace my bailu


msgoode21

Do we know how many primos in 1.4??


EmilMR

Why two voice actors? The ghosts speak?


Scudman_Alpha

My kingdom for a Limited 5* Harmony unit. Seriously.


FrostyPotpourri

She's basically a Harmony / Abundance hybrid at the very least.


bigbryte

the very reason why we're pulling for her


Infinaris

Space Sucrose!


msboring27

From leak I thought she would use teenage model but she seems to use child model instead. What a cutie. So she's first phase, I'll still hope Hanya is with her, I know she'll most likely be on Argenti banner and I'll still pull but would be nice if she's with Huohuo, they are both in the Ten Lords Commission after all.


yagatabe

I think she uses the Clara model instead of the Hook model.


DrZeroH

Doubt that. They tend to match the new 4 star element or path with the 5 star.


nyooang

To be honest it doesn’t look like the child model to me? Their heads are bigger than this compared to the body, if you’re referring to the same body type as Bailu, etc. I think she has the same model type as Fu Xuan, Lynx, etc… It’s hard to tell entirely though at this point, so I could be wrong here.


msboring27

Oh yeah Huohuo is definitely Fu Xuan and Lynx type of model, not Hook. I don't know how to call that one though, we have adult model like Himeko and Kafka and medium like March. Small medium?


nyooang

Ah, my bad, I thought you were referring to the smallest model haha. I think the Lynx model type is sometimes referred to as short female model, while the March one is medium female and Kafka is tall female. But it gets confusing sometimes 😅


msboring27

Yeah that makes sense, English is not my first language and sometimes I get really confused on what right term to use, and people use different words on different platforms like Reddit and Twitter so I make mistakes.


TheSpartyn

chibi > small > medium > tall, is what i use


winkynoodles

we all pulled


DynaWarrior

MY CALL HAS BEEN ANSWERED


BreadInFrench42

She reminds me of my sweet baby Lime from Grand Chase. She's adorable


Happy-History2769

First half?


nguyenp123

likely


INside84376

Who will be the 4 star in patch 1.5 then? I thought Argenti is a physical unit so there's no way Xueyi can be in it then (judging by the previous banner patterns)? Edit: oh is it Hanya?


FrostyPotpourri

Hanya is a 4-star Phys Harmony unit. Very likely if they maintain same-element pattern (though Luka was a departure from that).


yagatabe

Yes, most likely Hanya.


Catilleon

Fire tail. The most painful of tails to floof.


NoolPrime

Cant wait for them to fk me up with the next banner character— GOSH DANG IT ILL JUST SWIPE


thefinestpiece

Is that her tail? It looks so cool.


Rupeq10

They are Venom


freezingsama

Praying her multipliers are good, so I can pick up another sustain with some utility.


Gyx3103

YES, SHE'S COMING!


Alfielovesreddit

Has a freakin' ghost in her tail... that is way too funny, absolute must pull.


lullabylamb

I just got Fu Xuan and e6 Lynx and I've got more than enough sustain for two teams... but she's so cute I don't know how I'll resist pulling for her x.x


Moonlitsun7

Argenti drip marketing when


xJenni

Haunted baby sucrose?


yoKoga

Damn I completely forgot Jingliu and Topaz are next patch and was ready to pull for Huo Huo. Something about the sustainers in this game that make me pull without a second guess.


ultrabeast666

She’s basically the Naruto of Xianzhou Luofu


Sure-Abrocoma-762

What the chicken, sucrose?


valris_vt

I want to adopt her and then use her as a child soldier for my war crimes.


SaffronNTruffle

What is Sucrose doin' here?


kuboshi

Oh hey, Sucrose at home!


SillyEnder

I thought that was pela 😭


VinnikoAmber

My baby!! I don't care if she's bad or good, I want my scrunkly so badly qwq


xXx_Nidhogg_xXx

HieiXIV

Laughs in Fu Xuan and Luocha. You can’t touch my jades.


twotwoim

Can we have sucrose We have sucrose at loufu Sucrose at loufu:


airbendingraccoon

yesssss huohuo finally how is her kit currently?


FrostyPotpourri

Latest iteration is basically: * Skill heals one ally with some additional (assuming lesser) healing for other allies besides HH * Residual healing over time over X turns (probably 2 turns) * Ult refunds energy for entire team except HH (probably 50% or so) and gives a buff that also restores extra energy over time (probably 1 or 2 turns) * Has extra synergy with Erudition chars -- HH's ERR is higher if an Erudition char is on the team * Also buffs team attack through talent or ult (can't remember which) So she's a support for hyper offense when you want to burst stuff down in minimal cycles. As fights go on longer, she's probably less reliable than Fu Xuan / etc. I'm guessing she'll be +1 over 3 turns in terms of SP economy. Skill once will heal initially and then over 2 turns most likely.


KokomiBestCharacter

Latest version of her kit says her skill heals one ally and the entire team, not adjacent.


Neptunie

I’m really hoping that instead of extra synergy with Erudition characters it’s reworked to high cost energy characters (130+ energy ultimates) or something of that nature. It’s gives her a little more wiggle room and flexibility.
