[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hi3rd_amber_001.png]]

Otto's secretary and aide, Amber relays the most basic directives when the former isn't around. She first makes her first in-game appearance in chapter 26.

* OneSteveLimit: She jokes about this in one unlockable scene in ch. 25-EX. Back then there were already several "Elizabeths" and several "[=McSmith=]s" in Schicksal; when young Bianka first entered the lab, she called Elizabeth "Nagamitsu" because Bianka thought the lab is named after the head scientist. It got stuck later with other personnels, and she ended up [[AppropriatedAppellation deciding it to be her nickname.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She believes that [[{{Jerkass}} Otto]] is a great person and leader that has been protecting humanity from the threat of the Honkai. Otto would probably sacrifice all of humanity if that allowed him to revive Kallen.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Her speech at Kiana back at Chapter 15 stating that Schicksal is what protects the billions of people from the Honkai ends up being this. After all she is saying this after the Herrscher of the Void reawakened inside Kiana's body and unleashed an eruption that killed '''90%''' of the world's population, and the fault for this lies solely on Otto and Schicksal. And that is not even counting the Herrscher of the Void's first awakening years ago, where they also played a role in it.

Otto's secretary and aide, Amber relays the most basic directives when the former isn't around.

Schicksal’s top scientist, in charge of lab no. 1491, also known as "Nagamitsu" (hence her nickname). She stays mostly in the shadow, only showing herself to the protagonists in chapter XXVI.

* OneSteveLimit: Jokingly invokes this as one possible reason most people call her by her nickname − there were already several Elizabeths and several [=McSmiths=] within Shicksal’s science staff.

[[quoteright:264:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_hi3wraith.png]]
%%
An A-rank Valkyrie working in the Intel department who can disguise herself into different people with a bit of makeup. Fu Hua meets up with her for intel in the ''Moon Shadow'' comic while on the run from Anti-Entropy's forces in Singapore.

* BreastExpansion: Part of her shapeshifting has her able to alter the size of her breasts (or at the very least she uses padding or something similar). She does this to tease [[ACupAngst Fu Hua]], who ''[[BerserkButton does not]]'' appreciate the gesture.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Wraith may be a shameless flirt and tease, but even she gets appalled when Fu Hua tells her about the lecherous GoGoEnslavement "Welt" put her through.
* FailedASpotCheck: While impersonating "Welt", Wraith forgot the important detail that "Welt" was using a digital larynx following his TongueTrauma by Fu Hua, something which an Anti-Entropy security guard notices. Not willing to blow her cover, Wraith makes up the lie that "Welt" grew his tongue back and gladly offers to test it on the guard, which creeps the latter out enough to let the issue go.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: While assuring Fu Hua that she'll get the intel she seeks, Wraith asks her to change outfits. Fu Hua, who spent half a day on the run from "Welt" half naked, is confused until Wraith points out that she's not even wearing pants and that the Singaporean police arrests people for indecent exposure.
* TheTease: She deliberately tries to flirt with the serious Fu Hua whenever she can, changing her appearance into familiar people like Theresa and Himeko, while also flaunting her breasts, [[ACupAngst much to Fu Hua's annoyance]].
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Wraith makes rapid use of her makeup tool to disguise herself into whoever she wants, making her the perfect infiltrator.

[[folder:Alvitr]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KanaIchinose (Japanese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_hi3alvitr.png]]
%%
A young member of the Immortal Blades, the elite corps under Durandal and Rita's command, who keeps contact with Rita during the Arc City disaster in Chapter 13 and 14, as well as the Coral Island eruption in chapter 18.\\

She also stars in the "Stellar Mythos" event in version 4.4, making up all sorts of weird theories about Durandal’s MysteriousPast with her friend Susannah.

* TheEveryman: She represents the "normal" Valkyries who just obey orders and aren't aware of the current events' ramifications (at first).
* {{Fangirl}}: She admires Rita to the point of being very uncomfortable when the latter tells her to call her by her name instead of "Deputy".
* MookLieutenant: She seems to have this role in her squad, as she speaks to Rita on behalf of the other members. She would also be the one to relay Durandal's message about the 5th Herrscher's identity to the World Serpent members in ch. 18.
* ThoughtTheyKnewAlready: Inverted - in ch. 18, when she informs the World Serpent members that the Valkyrie squad's findings led to them calling the current Herrscher the "Herrscher of Ice", Raven points out that her group has already encountered her and witnessed her powers before this exchange happened.

[[folder:Siegfried Kaslana]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Bloomberg [[labelnote:*]]彭博[[/labelnote]] (Chinese), Creator/TomokazuSeki (Japanese)

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/siegfried_kaslana_t_8.png]]

Kiana Kaslana's father, husband of Cecilia Schariac, and Theresa's friend. The latest heir of Kaslana family, known as a prodigy among them. Not long after he fathered Kiana, he participated in the 2nd Honkai War, which ended in his wife's death; he later ran away from Schicksal and took Kiana with him, raising her by himself. Some years after that, he left Kiana for unknown reasons.\\

In-game, he's shown in Chapter 5, set in a "simulation of the past". There he met Theresa and Kiana, and later tries to attack Sirin with his "released" Judgment of Shamash, although he failed to do lasting damage and would've died from his own attack were it not for Cecilia saving him.\\

Also available as a Stigmata set.

* ActionDad: Even after Kiana was born and Cecilia was essentially on an extended maternity leave, Siegfried was still in Schicksal's service as one of their knights, eventually becoming a key player in the Second Honkai War. Even after Cecilia's death and him leaving Schicksal, he continued to fight the Honkai on his own, with a young Kiana accompanying him. [[spoiler:Even if "Kiana" was actually a clone, Siegfried warmed up to her after witnessing her desire to protect people, and started treating her as if she was his real daughter.]]
* AffectionateNickname: People who are well acquainted with him like Cecilia and Shub shorten his name to "Ziggy".
* AnArmAndALeg: He lost his left arm after [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique he released the power of Judgement Of Shamash]] in the past [[spoiler:to stop Kiana's awakening as the 2nd Herrscher]]. It's still [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat quite a feat for him]], though, as at least 3 other Kaslanas before him died for doing the same.
* AncestralWeapon: His Judgment of Shamash is a weapon--one of the [[LegendaryWeapon Divine Keys]]--passed through the Kaslana family's generations. It takes the form of [[GunsAkimbo dual guns]] that contain [[PlayingWithFire destructive fire powers]] and, when fully "released", can [[MorphWeapon transform]] into a powerful {{BFS}}, but its power once released is so tremendous that [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique it can cause massive collateral damage and harm his body]], something that happened to a few of his ancestors.
* BatterUp: Back when he was just a young wanderer, he fought Honkai Beasts with a metal baseball bat. It's a reference to the previous Honkai games where Kiana can equip the bat to fight zombies.
* BattleCouple: With Cecilia, particularly in the 2nd Honkai War.
* BelatedLoveEpiphany: In one of the supplementary comics, he had a strong sense of loss and yearning after Cecilia was taken back by Schicksal, and vowed to see her again. Two years later, it's shown that Cecilia had a similar sentiment; once the two [[BigDamnReunion got reunited]] (by his deal with Otto), they immediately embraced each other.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the 2nd Honkai War, when he was told by Welt to bring Theresa to safety while Welt fights Sirin, he promised to come back and help Welt. He later did come back, just in time to save Welt from the "masked clown" (Otto in disguise).
* BumblingDad: One of the things that Kiana remembers about her dad is that he sucked at being a dad; between trying to teach her how to drink and flirt, on top of being [[LethalChef a terrible cook]] and drinking himself silly on Kiana's birthday, Siegfried definitely wasn't the model parent. But none of that mattered to the young Kiana, as long as she was fighting alongside her dad in order to get better at protecting the people she loves.
* CallBack: Young Siegfried recalled that he was the 2nd Kaslana to run away from their home. The 1st one is someone we've known before - Kallen.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Like most Kaslanas, he's compelled to save his allies whenever he sees them in danger, oftentimes to his detriment. So much that Welt had to rein him in multiple times, trying to make him avoid danger to himself and see the bigger picture. When he was younger, this was what compelled him to save Cecilia and try to bring her back even though she's a Schicksal Valkyrie.
-->'''Siegfried:''' To be honest, I never really liked the idea of sacrifice. I never believed that anyone had to give up their lives so that the rest of us can live happily ever after. I hate it if people had to die for my sake. That would really leave a bad taste in my mouth. And if my wife finds out that I allowed this to happen... She'll make me regret it for the rest of my cowardly existence.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler:When he tried to rescue Kiana from Schicksal, [[NotActuallyHisChild he ended up taking her clone, K-423, instead]]. For a few years after that he would act somewhat detached to her[[note]]Young K-423 notes that whenever "her birthday" (the real Kiana's) comes, Siegfried would give her a lot of gifts, but then [[DrowningMySorrows he would get drunk and mutter the name "Cecilia" and "Kiana" while looking sorrowful]][[/note]], but after an event where she showed the will to protect others (basically the Kaslanas' will), Siegfried was delighted and [[ArtificialFamilyMember decided to raise her like his real daughter]], giving her the name "Kiana"[[note]]K-423 was told that she got amnesia, when in truth when she first awakened she still remembered her (Sirin's) desire to feel Cecilia's embrace; when Siegfried found her, he suppressed her memories[[/note]]. She would later cherish this as "her best birthday present".]]
* CooldownManipulation: The M part of his Stigmata set reduces the cooldown of weapon active skills by 40%. This piece is helpful both for certain useful weapon skills with long cooldowns, and for the other parts of the Stigmata set and their SetBonus, which are tied to using (and spamming) weapon skills.
* DisappearedDad: He left Kiana a few years before she enrolled to St. Freya Academy. Theresa claims to know his whereabouts, which she uses to convince Kiana to partake in the academy. [[spoiler:He went out to seek secrets and truth about Schicksal, and he left Kiana because he doesn't want the Herrscher inside her to be awakened again because of him.]]
* DontCallMeSir: When she first met Siegfried, Cecilia called him "Sir Siegfried". He told her to just call him "Ziggy".
* DramaticIrony: He once claimed that he hates having people sacrifice themselves for their sake. Then later, Cecilia sacrificed her life to protect him and comfort Sirin for one last time.
* {{Expy}}: He's a dead ringer for [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] - the hair, the BadassLongcoat, the use of two guns and a {{BFS}}, the lecherousness, the laid-back attitude, the fondness for pizza, and [[BreadMilkEggsSquick the ability to turn into a half-demonic form.]] Like Dante, he gets his half-demonic form through getting [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled by his own sword.]]
* {{Fanboy}}: Back when he was a young boy (around TheEighties), he was a fan of [[ShowWithinAShow a mecha anime called "Arahato"]]. The anime was what inspired him to go out and become a "hero" himself. Later, before the start of the 21st century, he found out that said anime was, in fact, produced by Anti-Entropy (as a means of income) and that they've made a 1-to-1 scale model of the mech that can also go to outer space. When Welt Young revealed the mecha to him, he briefly had a dorky fanboy moment before Welt had to cut him off.
* HandicappedBadass: During the events of the ''Moon Shadow'' comic, Siegfried meets Fu Hua in order to help her foil Cocolia's plan. However, since Siegfried is a wanted fugitive by Schicksal, the encounter doesn't start on a friendly note. Fu Hua ran three simulations in her mind with Fenghuang Down and found that there's no scenario in which she could beat him without suffering grievous injuries in return, despite Siegfried's missing arm.
* HandsomeLech: Theresa once says that he's a shameless flirt. Best shown in Chapter 5 (which takes place in a simulation of the past) where he tries to flirt with the girl that Theresa brought with her, not realizing that it's Kiana, his own daughter. In a supplementary comic, even the holographic projection of him in a fight simulator compliments Kiana's "growth", [[PervertRevengeMode causing her to punch his face]]. Said hologram even mistakes Mei and Kiana as a lesbian couple, though he makes a side comment of it being [[GirlOnGirlIsHot hot]].
* HappilyMarried: One of Siegfried's main concerns in the ''Second Eruption'' comic is that he's torn between the Kaslanas' nature to protect the weak at the cost of their lives and wanting to stay together with his loving wife and daughter. Cecilia, for her part, is quick to reassure him that she knows his heart is just and he will make the right decision, and she'll fully support him either way and share the burden if it comes to that.
* HeroicWillpower: In the past, he once encountered Welt Young of Anti-Entropy, who blocked his way to Cecilia and tried to subdue him with Star of Eden's power of gravity. Welt warned him that the force of 10G (10 times normal gravity) would hurt him if he resisted, but Siegfried fought back against the force, stood back up and tried to attack him again. Siegfried got punched in the gut by Welt to unconsciousness for his troubles.
* IdenticalGrandson: He apparently looks similar to his oldest ancestor, [[spoiler:Kevin Kaslana, from the previous major civilization, down to the similar hairstyle (when Kevin got older at least), jacket and weapon]]. In the ''Elan Palatinus'' comic, it's shown that Kallen's father, Sir Francis Kaslana, also resembled Siegfried when shown from the back, particularly with the blue longcoat and dual-wielding the Judgement of Shamash.
* LethalChef: He's shown to toast the pizza bread he made ''[[MundaneUtility using Judgement of Shamash]]''. In the ''Second Eruption'' comic, Theresa winces and refuses Cecilia's offer for dinner as soon as she hears Siegfried is the cook, as his previous new dish tasted like charcoal according to her.
-->'''Theresa:''' *''thinking''* I have no idea why Cecilia tolerated Siegfried's terrifying cooking. Was it love? Or weird taste? Her man can't cook to save his own life. He makes charred disasters, not food. \\
'''Siegfried (younger):''' *''thinking''* Whoa, [Cecilia] really trusted me and my cooking? Even I have trouble eating that!
* LikeFatherLikeSon: A variant with his daughter. He's heroic, tough, straightforward, stubborn, a pervert, and a bad cook... just like Kiana. On a more serious note, she also shares his sentiment of hating to have his closest people sacrifice themselves to help him.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: In his younger years, he claimed that he wanted to get some good payment if he can escort Cecilia to her base; "private detectives don't work for free, you know." The real reason he insisted on escorting her, however, is to take her to see the world around, because he saw that her life was so sheltered that she thought of her mission more than her own life. To the point that he intentionally broke his motorbike's handle brake just so he can have an excuse to walk with Cecilia around the towns. He would later say that "it's not about the money any more" when she pointed it out.
* RedBaron: He was once known as the "Schicksal Knight".
* ReducedManaCost: The T part of his Stigmata set reduces the SP cost of weapon skills by 25%.
* SetBonus: For his stigmata set:
** 2 pieces: Within 10 seconds after using weapon active skill, the next use of it gains 20% total damage multiplier. This effect can be stacked up to 5 times as long as you use the weapon skill at least once before the 10 second interval ends.
** 3 pieces: after using weapon active skill 6 times, enter "Hero Mode" that lasts 20 seconds. During this mode, gain 70% physical damage, 25% attack speed and move speed, and [[AntiDebuff immunity to most debuffs]].
* SinkOrSwimMentor: [[spoiler:Implied to be the reason he left Kiana in the first place. He wanted her to learn how to survive on her own and believed leaving her to her devices was the best way to do it.]]
* SuperMode: In the ''2nd Eruption'' comic, when Einstein examines the data inside his Judgment of Shamash, Siegfried meets "Kevin", his ancestor, who recognizes the former as "his progeny" and then stabs Siegfried's body with his sword. This unlocks the latent power of the Kaslana gene inside him, allowing him to turn partially monstrous, giving him extra strength. However, this also comes with an overbearing urge to "fight the Honkai" at all costs, which he tries his hardest to suppress. Years after that, this power seems to have slowly consumed him, requiring him to get some suppressors from Raiden Ryoma.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Due to being a descendant of Kevin, he has the genes of the ice Honkai Beast Parvati, which are activated in the 2nd Eruption Manga. As a result, much like Kevin, [[AnIcePerson his body temperature is much lower than normal, as well as being capable of generating ice constructs.]] Due to this, he is also [[PhlebotinumHandlingRequirements able to unleash the Judgement of Shamash's]] [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Zeroth Power]] without issue, and is also the only person other than Kevin to have used its Might of An-utu form.
* SuperStrength: He's physically strong enough to hold the pressing hands of the 2 halves of Assaka with his own.
* WalkingTheEarth: Before he met Cecilia he wandered across the world. He apparently ran away from home because he didn't want to be bound to the family's duties to Schicksal and wanted to see the world and be a hero in his own way. He felt like a ninja (inspired by his childhood anime) back then, but he figured out that his mother vouched for him to Otto to stop his pursuing forces.
-->'''Siegfried''' (to Cecilia): People locked me up in a stupid house. That gave me plenty of experience and ninja skills for breaking out of places. ... After I left home, I went to a ton of places. I took part in the Shenzhou dumpling fest and had hanami picnics under sakura trees. I went to the Afican savanna and hunted lions with the Maasai. The world is a big and exciting place. I can't imagine being locked up in a house for the rest of my life. It'd be a real shame knowing that I've missed the world itself.
* TheWorfEffect: Some time before the events of ch. 13 of the game[[note]]presumably during the events of ch. 12, as the comic mentions the gate to the Sea of Quanta being opened, which happened in that chapter[[/note]], he and Raiden Ryoma came under attack from [[spoiler:two agents from World Serpent, Raven and Jackal. Despite maintaining control of his ICHOR infection, Siegfried is implied to have been defeated and captured by these emerging threats, as they later give Kevin the Judgement of Shamash and assure him that Siegfried has been given every measure of comfort befitting one of Kevin's guests. It didn't help that [[WorlfHadTheFlu he only has one good arm at that point]].]]

[[folder:Amber]]

Otto's secretary and aide, Amber relays the most basic directives when the former isn't around.

* ArtificialHuman: She seems to be a clone made up from Kallen's genes, and her arms are revealed to be robotic. When she loses both arms after venturing too close to the corrosive powers of the Herrscher of Death, Otto saves her and tells her to go back to Schicksal's HQ to treat her wounds and get some parts replacements.
* MouthOfSauron: Sometimes, Otto sends her in his stead to convey vital information. [[spoiler:Theresa eventually gets sick of hearing her when Amber lies about the sequence of events surrounding Sirin's defeat, and would rather get the truth from Otto himself, to which he responds by brainwashing her with "Mimic: Fenghuang Down".]]
* NoSenseOfHumor: When Otto comments on how Durandal is too powerful to be merely rated as a S-rank Valkyrie, he jokingly suggests making a Rank Durandal. Amber ''immediately'' gets started with the paperwork, forcing Otto to dissuade her, because if that happens, the other girls will call it "Rank DD", or "[[InherentlyFunnyWords Doo-doo]]".
* NumberTwo: Amber is shown to supervise the battlefield from Schicksal's headquarters when Otto himself is on the field pursuing his own agenda. When the situation becomes dire, however, even she hesitates to cross the GodzillaThreshold.

[[folder:Murata Ryusuke]]

One of the focus characters of the ''Alien Space'' supplementary comic, set in 2005. A scientist working for Schicksal, and Murata Himeko's father. He was in charge of supervising the 4th Divine Key, a satellite that works to control the winds, weather and climate. He's also closely acquainted with an "alien".

* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:He eventually went mad with achieving his ambition of continuing the Project ARK that he betrayed his Sugar companion and took the Sugars' powers for himself; he also claims to Welt that Himeko's life meant nothing to him and he's ready to sacrifice her if he needs it to achieve his goal. He adamantly claimed that he did everything for the sake of humanity's future, but Welt pointed out that he basically had "lost" his humanity.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Some years prior to the comic's present, he had a sickly wife, who encouraged him to keep carrying on his dreams of space development and not worry about her health. Even though he decided to go with it, it went AllForNothing as his space project ended up being canceled and the news of his wife's death came not long after. He's furious and frustrated at the whole thing, but he decided that [[{{Determinator}} he shouldn't give up]] - for he feels that his dreams are for the sake of the whole humanity and the universe. This is what convinced Peppermint to team up with him.
* DeadManWriting: He left a letter for Himeko that would only be found when he's dead, stating that he did all he could to stay faithful to his goals, but won't impose his vision on her and apologizes for being an irresponsible dad. [[spoiler:At least, [[ForgedMessage that's what Welt wants Himeko to believe]], given it would be too much to reveal to Himeko that Ryusuke went mad with the power of the Sugars and had to be put down for the good of both humanity and the Sugars.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: He figured that Otto wanted to cause a big storm in the US using the 4th Divine Key, so he decided to seek help from Anti-Entropy to stop the Overseer's plans.
* DivingSave: When he and Tesla were in the Anti-Entropy base in New Mexico, when he notices the body-controlled guard about to fire at Tesla, he pushed her out of the way, causing him to [[TakingTheBullet take the bullet]] on his upper arm. He latter claimed to her that it's OnlyAFleshWound.
* FaceHeelTurn: In the closing chapters of ''Alien Space'', Ryusuke reveals to Welt that he has been thinking of following in the footsteps of Project ARK's space exploration, reasoning that looking up at the stars and forsaking the attachment to Earth is the best hope for humanity's future. When Welt retorts that the endeavour would come at too high of a cost for humanity's present on top of the Honkai threat, Ryusuke grows increasingly hostile, dismissing Welt as no different from Schicksal. [[spoiler:It is, in this moment, that Ryusuke betrays and murders his Sugar companion, taking the latter's power for himself and becoming a threat to both humanity and the diminutive aliens.]]
* FusionDance: Peppermint can fuse with Ryusuke (akin to [[Comicbook/{{Venom}} the Venom Symbiote]]) in case he needed to kick some butts, but he only would do so as a last resort; as seen when he fused with said alien to kill the body-controlled guards that hounded him and Tesla. Later on, [[spoiler:he showcases the further extent of the alien's power as he fought Welt.]]
* OutGambitted: At first, he managed to slip out of Otto's mind-reading (while he ''did'' meet his daughter as he claimed to Otto, his real intention was to rendezvous with the Anti-Entropy's members). However, Otto was one step ahead; he had prepared a contingency plan in case this happens. When Tesla and Einstein tried to crack through the control device of the 4th Divine Key that Ryusuke gave them, it suddenly caught an "error" in its system and proceeded to create an incoming storm that slowly approaches Houston, USA.
* PsychicBlockDefense: The alien that tags along with him can do this for him. When he claimed to Otto that he wanted to go to America to meet his daughter in her college, the Overseer [[MindProbe used his copy of Fenghuang Down on Ryusuke]], but the former didn't manage to find anything wrong in the latter's mind. Said alien can ''eat'' Fenghuang Down's feathers, which is impressive given it's one of the most powerful Divine Keys.
* SpaceMaster: [[spoiler:Using the "Alien Key" from the Sugars, he can move into, and attack from, a higher dimension, leaving his targets as "characters in a fiction book, at the mercy of its author". Welt could only counter it by using his connection to the Imaginary Space (as a Herrscher) to catch up to Ryusuke and use Star of Eden's Third Power to defeat him.]]

!!Mecha and Equipment

[[folder:RPC-6626]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_800px_rpc_6626_enemy.png]]

One of the bosses of Chapter 5, and also appearing as one of the bosses of Everlasting Memory stages. It's a Schicksal-made VTOL fighter plane which was built to fight the Honkai. However, it went berserk because of the 2nd Herrscher's influence.\\

It's also the last boss of the Co-op Raid stage, "Matrix Space", acting as the "virtual antivirus" that gets corrupted and goes berserk, as well as an early boss in another Raid stage "Squad Snowwolf".

* AlphaStrike: After it TurnsRed, one of its moves is to use the rotary cannon, middle laser and area bombing simultaneously.
* DeathFromAbove:
** It has a move where it launches multiple bombs upward, which all fall down onto a designated area a few moments later.
** In some of the battles against it (notably as the SS-rank version in Memorial Arena), it's capable of simply floating up, away from most of your characters' reach (except Bronya[[note]]Cluster missiles are more reliable to hit it in that state; rocket launchers can too, but only at a longer distance[[/note]]) and it can keep attacking from above, including with one move where it flies to a direction while dropping bombs.
* GatlingGood: It's armed with 2 rotary cannons on the sides that can rapid fire shots.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: It can fire multiple missiles that track your position and leave patches of paralyzing electricity on the impact zone. They can be [[TennisBoss deflected towards it]] with your attacks if you react quickly enough.
* PromotedToPlayable: You can get to use the plane in two of the weekly events, as well as in one of the levels in the Co-op Raid, Snowwolf. The gameplay turns into an UnexpectedShmupLevel.
* SphereOfDestruction: It can emit an expanding blast of electricity out of its body that can [[TheParalyzer paralyze you if you get hit]].
* SpreadShot: When it TurnsRed, it may periodically fire small shots from its cockpit area.
* VillainOverride: By Sirin.
* WaveMotionGun: It has a large cannon in the middle of its body that can fire a large continuous laser.

[[folder:Baldur]]

One of the bosses of Chapter 8, acting as one of Schicksal HQ's head of the (automated) guardian troops. It's dispatched to fight Himeko and the other rebels. It also becomes one of the last floor bosses in the Infinite Abyss mode after an update.

* DeadlyLunge: One of its common attacks is to perform a long-range lunging stab, usually after dashing to a direction first.
* DualWielding: It wields 2 swords that it can combine into one DoubleWeapon for certain attacks.
* KingMook: It's the boss variant of the Mysteltainn MechaMooks. Appropriately, [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority it's also colored deep red]].
* PromotedToPlayable: In Schicksal HQ Open World, in one of the storyline missions, you get to hijack an inactive Baldur and control it to move quickly around the base. Later, you can also build your own Baldur, although [[DoubleUnlock it requires Ai-chan to reach Tech Lv. 15]] and even then, it's a RareRandomDrop from the "hangar" where the production of the robots is played like a gacha, but with special materials from the Open World (and the particular gacha that produces Baldur is littered with other useless bots).
* SpinAttack: It has a quick-moving and wide-reaching spin attack with its swords. In a variant, its strongest attack after it TurnsRed (and its Ultimate Skill as the playable version) has it firing continuous lasers from its swords while spinning, hitting all around it at long ranges.
* SwordBeam: One of its attacks after it TurnsRed is to fire crescent beams from its DoubleWeapon. In a variant, another attack has it [[SwordPlant plant its double swords to the ground]] to create creeping waves that goes to multiple directions.
* SwordPlant: It has an attack where it jumps up and then stabs the ground with both swords.
* TurnsRed: Upon reaching half health, its blue TronLines turn yellow and it whips out stronger attacks.
* VideogameFlight: In Schicksal HQ Open World, it can fly around, which allows you to access certain locations at a time limit quicker.

[[folder:Heimdall]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_800px_aesir_heimdall_enemy.png]]

One of the bosses of Chapter 9. A large robot made by Schicksal to guard their important facilities and fight off intruders.

* {{BFS}}: Its main weapon is a big white sword. When it TurnsRed, the sword has a LaserBlade-like extension.
* DashAttack: It has 2 kinds of this: one where it dashes towards you for a body-check while leaving pillars of energy on its trail, and another where it does [[ThisIsADrill a drilling stab]] with his sword while simultaneously firing multiple missiles.
* DeflectorShields: It can occasionally create one after certain attacks. Melee attacks that strike it will have it do a CounterAttack with its sword, while ranged attacks that strike it will make it counter with [[TheParalyzer paralyzing]] {{Homing Projectile}}s. It can be broken by a strong enough attack (usually a ChargedAttack, certain switch attacks/QTE, certain weapon skills, Himeko's DashAttack, or Ultimate Skill) which will also deal a huge blow to its ArmorMeter. If the entire meter is depleted, Heimdall will enter a phase where it will slowly regenerate its shield, but is also immobilized and takes massively increased damage.
* DualBoss: At the end of Chapter 9-EX, Rita summons 2 of them to cover [[VillainExitStageLeft her escape]] after she's beaten. The two have lower health than the previous Heimdall battle.
* ImplacableMan: When it [[TurnsRed enters Overdrive mode]], all you can do is run, dodge, or use some InvulnerableAttack (usually Ultimate Skill[[note]]Drive Kometa's, especially, will shield you from physical damage for almost the same duration as Overdrive mode's[[/note]]) on it, as it won't stop the entire time; it's also [[MoveInTheFrozenTime completely immune to Time Fracture]] for the duration.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: At the end of its Overdrive Mode (see below), it'll fly up and then fire multiple missiles towards you. It then ends with it falling down and stabbing its sword to the ground, causing [[GroundWave creeping energy waves]].
* SpinAttack: It has a spinning sword slash attack that's followed by spreading exploding {{Energy Ball}}s around it.
* SwordPlant: It has an attack where it plants its sword to the ground, then emits [[PillarOfLight pillars of energy]] that [[AlwaysAccurateAttack tracks your position]].
* TurnsRed: Its body will turn gradually redder the more you attack it; once it turns fully red, it enters "Overdrive Mode" and goes in a frenzy, gaining heightened defense and attacking much faster with wide-ranging attacks until it cools down. Slower, stronger attacks are thus encouraged against it, particularly ones that can break its DeflectorShields.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: In-story, the first time it appears, Himeko (in her Scarlet Fusion suit) is [[HopelessBossFight hopelessly outmatched]] and [[MissionControl Tesla]] has to temporarily hack its systems to allow Himeko to escape. The second time it appears, Himeko (now in her [[EleventhHourSuperpower Vermillion Knight: Eclipse]] suit) [[CurbStompBattle stomps it into the ground with ease, reducing it to little more than molten slag.]]

[[folder:The Captain]]
[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_captain_hyperion.png]]

TheCaptain of the ''Hyperion'', who represents ''you'', the player, when you're not directly controlling the Valkyries. "He" mostly appears in event stories.

----
* ActionSurvivor: This is often the role he takes in in the more intense events. While he can fight, he's generally no match for the monsters or the human characters and has to rely on his ingenuity and [[{{Determinator}} sheer determination]] to pull himself through.
* AlternateSelf:
** The "Sanka Saga" event reveals that [[spoiler:"The Ferryman" (who has been guiding Kasumi from far away since the start) is in fact the alternate version of the Captain, with his own Hyperion. At the end of "Arc: Light Bound" event, it is also reveals that he's the one who assigns Kasumi to retrieve the Ether Anchor in Bronie's universe. From the same scene, he later assigns Kasumi to assist Delta in her next mission, which also confirms he's the one who speaks with Delta in the "Honkai Quest" event.]]
** One big twist of the "Odd Drifter" event is that there are two versions of the same Captain running around, one in the first half of the event and the other in the second half. In the climax, when the two meet each other, the two "merge" with each other. Near the end, Zhuge Kongming explains that this happened because, back when the Captain tried to go back home with Kongming's help, he subconsciously wants to live in "realities where the girls are happy" and it messes with her Formation spell, causing him to be split into two.
** "Honkai Kingdoms: Zero" has the Captain wondering about how "the future him" traveled back in time and changed Kongming's past, and what "he" is currently doing right now. The next event, "The Day You Vanished with the Stars" starts with the Captain only remembering things up to "Odd Drifter"[='s=] ending, implying that this Captain isn't the same one from the previous event. Kongming in that event also mentions that she used to meet "someone like the Captain" before, who promised to her that they'll meet each other again in the future--which was what the (different?) Captain said in "Honkai Kingdoms: Zero". [[spoiler:Later, Tesla-Zero confirms that the Captain of this event would later become the "future Captain" that she talked about.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: His "time-traveling". [[spoiler:The end of "Rosemary's Floriograph" event has Rita (who acted as "Irene Adler") claim that the Captain's "consciousness mapping" involves him [[MentalTimeTravel "inserting" his mind into other people's]], taking on their memories, knowledge and experiences in the process. The problem this poses is that he has done it for too long that he started to [[LossOfIdentity forget who he really was]] and [[BecomingTheMask think he was really "Conan Doyle"]]. Thankfully Rita could "pull" him out before it's too late, but she feels that she could jog his memories more.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: The Captain's wit is usually extremely dry and contrasts the wackiness in some of the events well.
* {{Determinator}}: In "The Day You Vanished with the Stars", he tries over and over to save Kongming from her fate, but he fails every time. Even after realizing that he's only a "pawn" in this whole "game", he keeps going on as that's the only thing he knows. After so many attempts to go back in the past by activating Tesla-Zero, she fully awakens, and goes on to explain everything to help him. She lampshades it, saying that he's the biggest tryhard she's ever seen, but it's also thanks to such persistence that he managed to awaken her in the first place. She says that the "future Captain" has set up the "consciousness mapping threshold" as "absurdly high", believing that the current Captain can reach it by his repeated attempts, and that he can find a completely different resolution than the future him did.
* DimensionalTraveler: [[spoiler:TheStinger for "The Day You Vanished with the Stars" event seemingly establishes the Captain as one, as his Hyperion is currently floating in the Sea of Quanta. Built by his memory, it's the manifestation of his power and the path leading to tomorrow, as Tesla-Zero says. Kongming--now part of the Hyperion crew--notes that there are other travelers who have lost their footing in bubble universes, and that he's planning to travel to more worlds.]]
* TheDulcineaEffect: In "The Day You Vanished with the Stars", he only knew of Kongming since the end of the "Odd Drifter" event, but hearing her story on how she turned into a tyrant filled with sorrow and vengeance, then having her die in front of him as she begs "Mr. Assassin" to save her and Rita, compels him to try to help her. Even with the ability to go back in time to solve the problem that causes her death, she always ends up dying again and again. Near the end, he could barely even remember that he initially only wanted to go back to the Hyperion. It eventually takes a toll on his mind, and he goes on to say that he's not the "Mr. Assassin" that could make miracles happen for her, and that she has put her faith in the wrong person.
-->'''Captain:''' I'm not your Mr. Assassin! The Mr. Assassin in your memory can do everything, but I... You know how many Qixi nights have I been through? How many times I watched you disappear? I'm afraid... afraid to meet your eyes when I wake up again... afraid to run into another dead end... I want to run away from this, but where to? Running is a choice I don't have... \\
'''Kongming:''' You have a choice. You can always give me up and shake off the nightmare. Without me, Rita and Theresa would still take good care of you. You could erase me from your memory and live happily. If you give me up now, I'd never hold any grudge against you. I never did.
* TheGhost: Interestingly, they never appear in the game's Story mode nor are ever referenced, despite often appearing in events. In Chapter Chiyou, for one, it's Theresa who commands Hyperion to support our Valkyries currently inside [[EldritchAbomination Chiyou]]. The most you'll usually get is a glimpse of their hand from your POV.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
** The Captain's narration in the final stage of "The Day You Vanished with the Stars" has him leaning extremely close to the fourth wall.
--->I was playing a game that had spun out of my control. If I could somehow get the whole picture from a high point, there might be a way to beat the game. But I was hopelessly trapped and had to play my part in the game... Yes, instead of the player, I'm merely a pawn on the chess board. Who's playing this game? Are there other observers? Would they feel bored when the game has come this far? They might be able to see in a glance the ending that I have to take thousands of steps to get to. I don't know how the story ends... or if the story has any ending at all. If there are observers watching this game, what would they say about all the things I've done? Sure... they won't approve of me. And they have every reason to do so.
** In the end, [[spoiler:TheStinger of said event has Kongming - now a part of the Hyperion crew - say that the Captain has recorded the past events that he was in, a FandomNod to how the players would do the same thing. He then goes on to give those records a name by his own--[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Cap's Bizarre Adventure]]--seemingly establishing the whole "Captain-verse" (a term coined by the fans) as a real thing. He even says that he gives that name based on a story he used to like reading.]]
* NoGender: There's no visual representation, nor is the Captain ever referred to as a specific gender in-game (although the English translation uses male pronouns). However, they are implied to be male, mainly due to being the target of Himeko and Rita's flirting. Non-game materials, if they ever depict them, often depict the Captain as male.
* NonEntityGeneral: They're almost totally unseen, as they're representing you. Non-game materials may show them on screen. For instance, the gag 4-koma comics released by [=miHoYo=] depict him as a red-haired man wearing a seaman's cap.
%%** It must be noted that we do get a glimpse of red hair during the Midsummer Dreams event.
* OnlySaneMan: They often have this attitude when it comes to the antics of the people around them, especially during the "Odd Drifter" event.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: "The Day You Vanished with the Stars" opens with Kongming dying in front of him due to drinking a poisoned wine, and begging the Captain with her last words to change her and Rita's fate, as [[YouRemindMeOfX she thinks of him as the "Mr. Assassin"]] (the Captain in the "Honkai Kingdoms: Zero" event) who once helped her a lot in the past. He was told about "Ms. Ironfist" (Tesla-Zero, who was kept with Kongming at the end of "Honkai Kingdoms: Zero"), and that he can use her to help him. He tries activating her, and she warps him back in time to attempt to prevent her death and the problem he has to solve for it. However, each time he manages to do it, something else kills her instead, so he tries going back in time again to solve the new problem. In the 5th scenario, he gets to let Kongming know about what he's doing and what he saw; he didn't expect her to believe him, but to his surprise, she chooses to take his words and follow them closely. After the 5th failed attempt, we're treated to a montage of shorter scenes where he tries, again and again, to fix things up to prevent her death, to no avail. He then feels that some kind of force is holding him back.
-->'''Captain:''' It's like I was fixing a leaking umbrella. One hole was patched up and another began to form.
* TimeTravel:
** In the "Honkai Kingdoms Zero" event, in the beginning, the Captain is playing Chinese chess with Zhuge Kongming on the Hyperion, with him talking about how the present wouldn't come to be if "the past remains unchanged". He then says that "the [me] from the future" changed Kongming's past, but he wonders what the "future him" is doing. He then travels to the past, accompanied by the ELF Tesla-Zero, to when Kongming was still a crown princess after the emperor's passing and a civil war is brewing from her absence. Kongming has a plan of sealing and banishing the monsters that threatened the kingdom, but the event shows that she might have failed in sealing the last beast were it not for the Captain's interference. After Kongming, Captain and their allies manage to seal said beast, [[spoiler:the "Golem" in the underwater altar wakes up and tells the Captain that it (the Golem) can [[MakeAWish grant a wish to whoever summoned it]]... but since the Captain has asked from him once "in the future" (a reference to the original "Honkai Kingdoms" event), the current Captain cannot ask for more. The Golem offers it to Kongming instead, who wishes for eternal peace and prosperity for her kingdom. The Golem claims that she and Rita (her chancellor) are the two brilliant minds that can make the kingdom's peace and prosperity possible, so it chooses to give them {{Immortality}}. This is implied to be how Kongming can stay alive to the present, and how Rita seems to be infatuated with the Captain in the original "Honkai Kingdoms" event]]. In the end, the Captain goes back to the present after saying farewell to Kongming, claiming that "they'll meet again in the distant future".
** In "The Day You Vanished with the Stars", the Captain of this event repeatedly goes back in time with Tesla-Zero's help in order to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong prevent whatever it is what would cause Kongming's death]]. However, every time he manages to do so, something else kills her instead, and he's forced to go back to the past again. After doing it countless times, Tesla-Zero finally wakes up for real, and reveals that [[spoiler:the ability to travel back in time [[TheMagicWasInsideYouAllAlong is all Captain's doing]], with a technique she calls "consciousness mapping". She only helped him set up the place and time he needed to go back to, and later, to realize this ability, as he [[HowDoIShotWeb didn't understand it at first]]. In the end, as he proceeds to go back to the Hyperion with Kongming with Tesla-Zero's help, [[MeaningfulEcho he says "see you in the not-so-distant future"]]]].
