Honkai: Star Rail Archer Fate Crossover Gameplay Shared

One day after a “Keeping Up with Star Rail” video showed Saber gameplay in Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoVerse shared another installment focusing on the Fate series Servant Archer who also debuts in the crossover. He’s also based on his Fate/stay Nigh [Unlimited Blade Works] appearance. 

The first moments of the Honkai: Star Rail Archer focus on showing him around Penacony. In one segment, he uses his weapons to attack enemies approaching people. Other scenes show him lurking around. It then reconfirms he’s a Hunt type of character who deals Quantum damage to enemies as Owlbert and Skott begin to discuss his moveset.

Things begin with his basic attack. Since he’s a Hunt character, he’s focused on dealing damage and targeting one opponent. He uses Kanshou and Bakuya blades to attack one enemy. His Skill is Caladbolg II: Fake Spiral Sword, which brings out a bow he uses to fire a sword at one opponent. This can start a Circuit Connection state that allows him to keep using that attack until his Skill Points run out and keep stacking damage. His Projection Magecraft allows him to increase SP when he’s present, bringing the number up to seven. 

As for his Ultimate, it should look very familiar to those who saw the original anime. It is Unlimited Blade Works. This deals damage to a single enemy while also charging himself up. He can use that charge to perform a follow-up attack after an ally attacks using his Mind’s Eye (True) Talent. 

Here’s the full “Keeping Up With Star Rail — Archer: Would Be Nice if You Could Materialize Firearms” showing the Fate Servant’s gameplay in Honkai: Star Rail.  

Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Fate collab starts on July 11, 2025, then ends just before the launch of 3.7. The Fate/stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works] anime is streaming on Crunchyroll.
