HSR 4.5 Leaks: SP Robin & SP Aventurine Overview
As the Amphoreus chapter continues to unfold, a massive wave of leaks for the highly anticipated Version 4.5 summer update has finally surfaced! This patch centers on the Thousand Stars City Summer Festival—the first large-scale beach holiday event in Honkai: Star Rail.
The biggest news: Version 4.5 introduces dual SP characters simultaneously—swimsuit forms SP Robin: Summeretto and SP Aventurine: Waveflair. These are not skins/outfits, but standalone 5-star limited characters featuring independent kit mechanics, separate banners, and unique leveling materials. Their Paths are completely swapped from their original counterparts, poised to reshape existing team compositions.

2. SP Robin: Summeretto
5-Star | Wind | Remembrance | Phase 1 Banner
Character Lore
Originally a universe-renowned opera singer, Robin visits the coastal shores of Thousand Stars City to perform at the summer music festival while seeking inspiration for her new single. Sporting a blue-and-white summer swimsuit adorned with sunflower and starfish accessories, her summons manifest as multi-form Bird Memosprites (Guitar Bird, DJ Bird, Sailor Bird).
While original Robin is a Harmony support granting team-wide DMG buffs, SP Robin transforms into a Remembrance support + sub-DPS with a completely revamped playstyle.
Kit Mechanics Overview
Core Kit: Maintains Memosprites on the field to provide team-wide DMG and SPD buffs, featuring a unique HP threshold DMG scaling mechanic.
Best Team Synergies: Premier support buffer for Remembrance archetypes, while flexible enough for Follow-up Attack (FUA) teams to supplement overall team DPS.
Voice Lines Excerpt
"The ocean breeze, rolling waves, and applause are my finest muses. Trailblazer, care to stay on the beach and hear my new song?"
Key Takeaways
Many Trailblazers wonder how to choose between the two versions: Original Harmony Robin offers universal team-wide buffs, whereas SP Robin is heavily tailored to Remembrance team comps. Neither powercreeps the other, as their battlefield niches are distinct.
3. SP Aventurine: Waveflair
5-Star | Quantum | Elation | Phase 2 Banner
Character Lore
After getting promoted to P46, IPC representative Aventurine finally enjoys a long-awaited vacation. Dressed in an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, white shorts, and relaxing with sun loungers, cocktails, and surfboards, he seems to be kicking back. Behind the scenes, however, secret IPC orders ensure undercurrents swirl beneath the carnival atmosphere.
Original Aventurine belongs to the Preservation Path as a shielder for FUA teams. SP Aventurine discards all defensive shielding mechanics to become a high-frequency Elation main DPS.
Kit Mechanics Overview
Core Kit: Accumulates Enthusiastic stacks through allies' actions to automatically trigger Elation Skills and frequent Follow-up Attacks, while boosting his own CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG.
Best Team Synergies: Premier hypercarry for Elation teams with incredible scaling, while filling the Quantum weakness coverage gap for Elation comps.
Voice Lines Excerpt
"Friend, good to see you again! Just finished a promo shoot—keeping up a smile for the camera is exhausting work. Why not join me for an unforgettable holiday adventure?"
Lore Foreshadowing
As festivities light up the coastline, a storm brews amid the celebration. Accepting secret orders, he once again steps into the storm, turning a tranquil holiday upside down.
4. Thousand Stars City Summer Event Leaks
Coastal Surfing Sprint: Limited-time mini-game. Pilot aquatic vehicles to race along wave tracks and earn Avatars, event Light Cones, and Stellar Jades.
Beach Music Festival Story Quest: Main storyline featuring SP Robin's live concert and special holiday interactions between characters.
Night Market Commissions: Limited-time beach commissions where players collect items to exchange for ascension materials and summer-themed Parlor Car furniture.
System Updates: Two brand-new Relic sets, new difficulty levels for Divergent Universe, and fresh Enemy Index entries.
5. Pull Priority & Top-Up Recommendations
Character |
Recommended For |
Skip / Wait For |
SP Robin: Summeretto |
Players building Remembrance teams or lacking dedicated Remembrance supports. |
Players with well-rounded teams, low Stellar Jades, or no interest in Remembrance comps. |
SP Aventurine: Waveflair |
Players maining Elation teams or needing a Quantum hypercarry DPS. |
Players with complete FUA setups or no plans to build an Elation team. |
Budget & Top-Up Strategy: If you plan to pull both SP characters or acquire their signature Light Cones with insufficient Stellar Jades, consider securing your pulls ahead of time via HSR Top Up to maximize initial double-bonus reset value and limited bundle offers.
Summary: Both characters fulfill completely different team roles—neither is a mandatory pull. F2P and low-spending players should prioritize their main long-term team comps rather than blindly trying to pull both SP characters.

The 4.5 Thousand Stars City Summer Event marks the major summer patch of Amphoreus, bringing massive hype to the community with dual popular SP releases.
