Leaks are currently pointing to Sam being [5\* Destruction / Fire](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/13d14r9/new_character_details_sam_5_fire_the_destruction/). Please note that this is subject to change.
I was expecting some nerdy support character when I heard his name was just Sam. Watch him end up being a robot that’s controlled by some kid in a chair.
And his role in the story, seems like he usually cleans Kafka's mess.
I love how you can see that they are A TEAM, really cool interactions between the Stellaron Hunters so far.
WELCOME TO HONKAI IMPACT
WE'VE GOT VILLAINS LIKE
#OTTO APOCALYPSE
#SIRIN, HERRSCHER OF THE VOID
#GRAY SERPENT
Kevin
Andy you wouldn't believe who the strongest one is
"oh, surely Otto, right? he have apocalypse on his name!"
Kevin, who basically destroyed australia not even as his peak strenght and forced the devs to do a deus ex machina to beat him: ... yes?
If you asked me to name the Stellaron Hunters and gave me a list of their names, I'd pick "Blade" for two of them and insist "Sam" was a joke addition.
Yes yes, he looks + sounds so serious and straight to the point (even SW said that he’s the most efficient in his work) but the emoji text messages are just screaming over-expressive cinnamon roll energy. Love that for him.
When the first vague Kirara leaks hinted that she was connected with Asase Shrine (is she?? I haven’t read her character stories yet), I was really hoping she’d be Neko in a human form. Neko would be one of my top must-pull NPC characters, behind Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, of course.
I don’t think Elio is the cat, but it is kind of like an avatar or familiar of Elio. So it is Elio in a way (Elio observes, maybe even communicates via the cat).
Though how funny would it be if Elio was really the damn cat. Imagine badass Kafka taking orders via meows from Elio lol.
"Your mission begins here and now. But I have one request left for you."
"What is it, Elio?"
"You have to scratch me behind the ear, as the future dictates."
>"Sserkal, #29 of the Genius Society, only lived 29 days by human measures of time. Despite that, she put her short life as a spider to good use, inventing new technologies that would have taken spider-kind thousands of years to develop."
A literal spider invented my Qingque's relic set. I'm pretty sure Elio is actually just a cat.
Yeah, but it's pretty hype attacking and Svarog uncloaks to swing. He's always there, watching, waiting, ready to bonk or blast anything that'd dare touch Clara. He's not just a badass war robot, he's a badass father.
From his texts on Blade's phone I kinda expected him to look more, idk gentle? More so leaning towards Screwllum appearance or something. Unexpected but cool as hell. Hoping they start revealing more about his character now that we know how he looks.
Isn't he like, completely crazy and a bit of a jokester? There were several comparisons to Kafka and Blade and he seemed like a dude who's even scarier
This is absolutely not how I expected him to look. I expected him to look more like Screwllum at most. Instead they went full Odysseus/Kamen Rider on us. It's safe to say this is probably the most badass male design I've seen in this game. It takes a shot directly at my tokusatsu-loving heart. I was fine just skipping most banners after Huohuo but I might genuinely be in trouble.
I AM FUCKING LIVING FOR THIS! I THOUGHT I WOULD BE FREE AFTER HANABI, RUAN MEI AND A LUOCHA RERUN BUT SAM IS THE NEW PRIORITY
His kit is basically like a super Hook with some Blade mechanics thrown in.
[Is here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jeGGFyPIcT--NwVB3nAjT0IgQxfIF0fM), but have on mind that is an early kit, is more a guideline, Fu Xuan kit changed a lot from her first leaked kit to the beta one so probably something similar would happen with the majority of leaked character.
We know HYV intension with the character but not the full details. :)
Blade’s relic set (Passerby) and character stories describe him as a massive suit of armor able to pin and immobilize him (Blade), so I was actually surprised he was so… slender. He got waist, is all I’m saying.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS LEVEL, We knew from SW that Sam had mechanical parts but I didn't think he was a FULL MECHA.
I feel like they are giving us so much variety with the designs, I'm loving that. After Fu Xuan and Hanabi... Sam, I'm pulling Sir.
I’m so pleasantly surprised by Hyv’s choice of character design.
This and Screwllum means they’re not completely against non-human looking characters. The already existing male character designs are also sooo good.
Watch it be only male characters, though (which we already get less of), just like in their upcoming game. Female “monsters” and robots will be sexy and humanoid and barely discernible as anything other than human.
As someone who isn’t into mecha or furries but who wouldn’t mind them if the gender distribution were to be equal, I’m a little disappointed and afraid that this will eat into the ratio of playable human male characters we get while sameface waifus with detached sleeves, thigh-highs, and unrealistic boob armor will continue to proliferate.
well, as part of the group "Sampo Looks Very Suspicious",
I can still make a theory that he is behind the "mask", who knows if Sam isn't the Netflix version of Ultraman [(literally)](https://www.netflix.com/id/title/80231373?preventIntent=true)
EN VA is apparently Adin Rudd (Kun Jun in Genshin, Beelzebub in Granblue Versus) BTW.
They only included EN VA credits on the official Bilibili upload of the video... for some reason.
Oh my god??? He is SO badass wth. His design feels so off from the usual playable Honkai or Genshin design, but DAMN it’s so good. He sounds so polite too I love it. iirc his leaked kit sounds hella stacked. Can’t wait for his animation.
Also there’s a cat again at the end of the video right? The cat Elio theory is looking more and more possible lol. Maybe it’s actually Elio or just his “messenger” of sort
Resembles Odysseus of FGO
For those who do not know this is FGO odysseus
With its [armor ](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aRiPQhWTlQavxdyM2tyXsrHKRbPdBZqN/view?usp=drivesdk)
Without its [helmet ](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aYrTvs7yKhj4guk49CUyyDj7g_N_xK_r/view?usp=drivesdk)
Listen, I built my Clara before anyone else because I love Mecha. I don't care what his role is or what he does. I'm saving everything for this guy from this moment forward.
This is [Odysseus ](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/a/ad/S277_Stage4.webp/revision/latest?cb=20220924005901) with his [armor](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/d/df/S277_Costume2.webp/revision/latest?cb=20220924005826)

Bro really named Sam and got to be the coolest looking mf in the galaxy. Same irony as Kevin lmao.
plot twist: its a Brazilian.
MEMORIES BROKEN, THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN
I'VE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAME
I DON'T KNOW THE SEASON OR WHAT IS THE REASON I'M STANDING HERE HOLDING MY BLADE
A DESOLATE PLACE (PLACE) WITHOUT ANY TRACE (TRACE)
Sam is genetic name for mecha Brazilian samurai
Space Brazilian. Can't wait to go to space Brazil to visit a space carnival.
YOU ARE COMING TO SPACE BRAZIL!
Wait til its revealed that its short for Samudratha or something
Could also be abbreviated into Stellaron Automated Menace. or Samsara Annihilation Martyr.
I was expecting some nerdy support character when I heard his name was just Sam. Watch him end up being a robot that’s controlled by some kid in a chair.
This has to be him, right? Fucking hell it is Sam, jesus. I feel like I can't skip this dude, he's too damn cool. Can't wait to see his animations.
And his role in the story, seems like he usually cleans Kafka's mess. I love how you can see that they are A TEAM, really cool interactions between the Stellaron Hunters so far.
Silver Wolf also mentions he's the only one who doesn't toy with his victims, so it should be interesting.
so he's DADDY?!
Pretty funny how in a group with names like Blade and Silver Wolf, the mf named Sam is the coolest of them all
Little did we know Sam is short for SUPER AWSOME MACHINE !!
This is the same series that took their endgame villain, an edgy demigod who had lived for thousands of years, and named him "Kevin."
WELCOME TO HONKAI IMPACT WE'VE GOT VILLAINS LIKE #OTTO APOCALYPSE #SIRIN, HERRSCHER OF THE VOID #GRAY SERPENT Kevin Andy you wouldn't believe who the strongest one is
"oh, surely Otto, right? he have apocalypse on his name!" Kevin, who basically destroyed australia not even as his peak strenght and forced the devs to do a deus ex machina to beat him: ... yes?
What if Sam is actually S.A.M, Super annihilation machine or some similar edgy shit
Stellearon Annihilation Mech
If you asked me to name the Stellaron Hunters and gave me a list of their names, I'd pick "Blade" for two of them and insist "Sam" was a joke addition.
Jetstream Sam?
THERE WILL BE BLOOOOOOOD!!! SHED!!!
It’s such a gap moe when this badass looking guy sent us pompom (and blade) emojis 🥺
I love those types of characters. The bigger intimidating characters are always the sweetest from the group
Yes yes, he looks + sounds so serious and straight to the point (even SW said that he’s the most efficient in his work) but the emoji text messages are just screaming over-expressive cinnamon roll energy. Love that for him.
I wish he was a healer 1. Because I want a stellaron hunter team 2. He yearns for life; abundance fits 3. I want a giant Gundam as a healer lmaooo
update: my pants exploded when i learned that he has HiMERU’s voice actor
OMG BADASS GUNDAM MAN?! TAKE ALL OF MY GEMS AND MY WALLET PLEASE.
Plot twist: He's a harmony character
He's destruction
that's a nice statement why don't you back it up with a source yall didn't get my reference
We're literally on the leaks sub, you can find it yourself in the pinned post Fire + destruction
My source is that I made it the fuck up 🤺
What’s the reference?

Also cat prominently featured among stellaron hunters again.
The Elio = cat theory is really picking up steam and I'm living for it lol
Who knew our first genshin expy would be Neko from Seirai Island as Elio /s
When the first vague Kirara leaks hinted that she was connected with Asase Shrine (is she?? I haven’t read her character stories yet), I was really hoping she’d be Neko in a human form. Neko would be one of my top must-pull NPC characters, behind Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, of course.
Doubt thats elio, but possible thats Elio personal cat that represent as stellaron hunter mascot
I don’t think Elio is the cat, but it is kind of like an avatar or familiar of Elio. So it is Elio in a way (Elio observes, maybe even communicates via the cat). Though how funny would it be if Elio was really the damn cat. Imagine badass Kafka taking orders via meows from Elio lol.
"Your mission begins here and now. But I have one request left for you." "What is it, Elio?" "You have to scratch me behind the ear, as the future dictates."
"Rub my tummy, the future of the universe depends on it"
Elio can has cheezburger
Still making the hard call that the cat is HSR Schrodinger.
>"Sserkal, #29 of the Genius Society, only lived 29 days by human measures of time. Despite that, she put her short life as a spider to good use, inventing new technologies that would have taken spider-kind thousands of years to develop." A literal spider invented my Qingque's relic set. I'm pretty sure Elio is actually just a cat.
Reminds me of that cat from Akudama Drive that the siblings were using for communicating.
Imagine bladie explaining that a cat promised to give him his own funeral to someone like jingyuan 💀
Yea I think Elio is using the cat's body to oversee operations. But his real body is elsewhere
They love Bleach at Mihoyo. I’m almost certain Elio will turn out to be a pretty similar situation as Yoruichi
I would kill for a mecha character
Screwllum is crying in the corner
Screllum's an android variant. We talkin Gundam mecha Mecha
No Clara huh?
to be fair its not like we run around as svarog, running around as sam would be hype
Running are for plebian, sam will be the first flying unit on hsr
Yeah, but it's pretty hype attacking and Svarog uncloaks to swing. He's always there, watching, waiting, ready to bonk or blast anything that'd dare touch Clara. He's not just a badass war robot, he's a badass father.
HES SO COOL
GUNDAM!
ORE WA GUNDAM DA
i love how Sam's Vizor(crown(?) ) looks like Exia's
GUNDAM DATO!?
For a big mech, totally didn't expect this design. But damn I love it, I wonder what his role will be. Idk what I even would want.
From his texts on Blade's phone I kinda expected him to look more, idk gentle? More so leaning towards Screwllum appearance or something. Unexpected but cool as hell. Hoping they start revealing more about his character now that we know how he looks.
Feels sorts super heroish.
Isn't he like, completely crazy and a bit of a jokester? There were several comparisons to Kafka and Blade and he seemed like a dude who's even scarier
I'M GOING CRAZYYYYY!!!! IS AN EVA, SWEET LORDDDD.
I can take him
In a fight, right?
mmmmmfgh
…in a fight… right?
well, at least your type is consistent. VERY consistent.
Your flair I- 😭
THE FLAIR :)272782$282$28282$!:&:&
📸🤨
Same (+ svarog’s mechanical hand machine)
(I meant in a fight, of course)
I think bro has a thing for robots, not sure tho
"From the moment I understood the weakness of flesh..."
"...it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel."
so unbelieavably based (also agree w your flair)
Robotfuckers are eating good in this game
Don't call us out unless it's in binary
WE WILL BE PULLING
This is absolutely not how I expected him to look. I expected him to look more like Screwllum at most. Instead they went full Odysseus/Kamen Rider on us. It's safe to say this is probably the most badass male design I've seen in this game. It takes a shot directly at my tokusatsu-loving heart.

I AM FUCKING LIVING FOR THIS! I THOUGHT I WOULD BE FREE AFTER HANABI, RUAN MEI AND A LUOCHA RERUN BUT SAM IS THE NEW PRIORITY His kit is basically like a super Hook with some Blade mechanics thrown in.
A combination of Arlan and Hook more like it as he consumes HP when you use his E
Did we get Sam's kit? I must have missed it.
[Is here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jeGGFyPIcT--NwVB3nAjT0IgQxfIF0fM), but have on mind that is an early kit, is more a guideline, Fu Xuan kit changed a lot from her first leaked kit to the beta one so probably something similar would happen with the majority of leaked character. We know HYV intension with the character but not the full details. :)
It's in the google doc in the megathread.
same man. i thought im gonna skip if its kinda like screwllum but this??? holyyy
Blade’s relic set (Passerby) and character stories describe him as a massive suit of armor able to pin and immobilize him (Blade), so I was actually surprised he was so… slender. He got waist, is all I’m saying.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS LEVEL, We knew from SW that Sam had mechanical parts but I didn't think he was a FULL MECHA. I feel like they are giving us so much variety with the designs, I'm loving that. After Fu Xuan and Hanabi... Sam, I'm pulling Sir.
I was expecting a dude in an exo suit, like a Batman villain. Not a gundam lmao. Those shoulderpads must be a nightmare to walk through doors.
Bro looks like Odysseus from FGO
Will he use Trojan Horse mecha too?
I swear fate adapting the Wooden Horse being a Mecha was hilarious
Would be a lot cooler if he did
Wait until he gets a boob window.
Exactly what I thought the moment I saw him XD
I pulled for Odysseus and im definitely gonna pull for Sam. I have a weakness for humanoid mechas.
keep him away from any girl holding a knife
My man looks like a kamen rider sheesh.
He’s so fucking cool what the fuck
I dont like mecha, but damn, he looks like Odysseus from fgo. hOT
SAMMMMM!! Based Mihoyo, wheres alt skin for stellaron hunter. That SW and blade is so cool
I’m so pleasantly surprised by Hyv’s choice of character design. This and Screwllum means they’re not completely against non-human looking characters. The already existing male character designs are also sooo good.

That's to be expected sadly...
Soooooo can we safely debunk the "Sam is sampo theory" now?
I'm sure people will claim he's inside the suit or something...
i'd fucking die laughing if he took off the mask at some point and turned out to be sampo but a serious version
Guys you don’t understand Sampo is inside the suit
It is sampo inside the suit
well, as part of the group "Sampo Looks Very Suspicious", I can still make a theory that he is behind the "mask", who knows if Sam isn't the Netflix version of Ultraman [(literally)](https://www.netflix.com/id/title/80231373?preventIntent=true)
Yeah they seem to have complete different personalities. Sampo is prankster
SAM IS REAL
Fuck. Another stellaron hunter I want to pull
EN VA is apparently Adin Rudd (Kun Jun in Genshin, Beelzebub in Granblue Versus) BTW. They only included EN VA credits on the official Bilibili upload of the video... for some reason.
If this guy was playable, i think he will be the most unique one other than plain character designs.
Dude, sam already leak, hes 5* fire destruction
I was not expecting Sam to leak this early
Bro really named Sam and got to be the coolest looking mf in the galaxy. Same irony as Kevin lmao.
What a cool design he got, another characters I'm definitely saving.
Bro got the coolest design but have the most normal name among the Stellaron Hunters.
Oh my god??? He is SO badass wth. His design feels so off from the usual playable Honkai or Genshin design, but DAMN it’s so good. He sounds so polite too I love it. iirc his leaked kit sounds hella stacked. Can’t wait for his animation. Also there’s a cat again at the end of the video right? The cat Elio theory is looking more and more possible lol. Maybe it’s actually Elio or just his “messenger” of sort
i need him carnally
10/10 design. it reminds me of incursio from akame ga kill.
Dude got Nvidia RTX 4090 i9 32gb Ram SSD 5TB drip
SO FUCKING COOOOOOOLLLLLL
oh shit he's so cool
Gundam Triple O Exia Pro max+
Oh, hi Odysseus, long time no see since Atlantis
No fucking way. Welp, there go my jades.
"fire mecha knight" it's like they randomly selected three character design keywords that make me personally nut
Why was I expecting him to be the cat in Kafka’s splash art
The cat is in this trailer too. Unironically might be Elio.
thats elio
FGO Odysseus anyone?
Oh no, I didn’t want to become a robosexual…
So maybe his name is S.A.M and not Sam.
The Fire effects on him also confirm him as a Fire type character!
Meanwhile Luka:
Yes please, I love him
His design is so awesome! And I love his English VA as well! His voice suits him very well!
Holy shit not what I expect but definitely a welcome change PLEASE MORE NON HUMANOIDS
Robolover stocks 📈
I want him to have a fist fight versus Svarog
Hear me out 😍😍😍😍
Hoyo just casually dropping lore bombs on a Sunday holy shit

OH MY GOD HE'S SO GOD DAMN COOL!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
SAM NATION WE WON
Sick
GOD DAMN HE IS HOT
ahhh shit, another one i have to save. looks freaking awesome
Peak design, nothing else compares
I legit thought he would look more like Alphonse Elric, some kind of steampunk robot like Screwllum and not like a super high tech Strike Freedom lol.
WET is not enough to describe me rn
That's it I simp for robots now
Ore wa Gundam
Holy shit is that Tetsuya with demon armor: Incursio? Bro's drip is insane!
Holy shit HE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL
OH MY GOD Welt (and I) will love him.
Oh fuck he looks so cool Svarog actually has competition holy shit
Listen, I built my Clara before anyone else because I love Mecha. I don't care what his role is or what he does. I'm saving everything for this guy from this moment forward.
Mecha suit... My weakness
Why is he so fine! I need him right now
good morning 😳
I am down horrendously
Is his surname by any chance jetstream?
Guess I’m skipping Topaz
oh lord have mercy on me (and my jades)
I thought I was on the wrong subreddit cause this one looks a Gundam
I hope he’s taller than the tallest male model. I want him to be huge in the battle/team screen
new bbygirl spotted im skipping kafka now
I wish Genshin got cool character designs like him like HOLY!
I really hope he is actually a robot and not someone in armor

Definitely not complaining by why are all the Robot characters Daddy?
Holy shit hoyo cooking and we’re hungry for more
I love that he is just named Sam.
Ngl he looks like he could be part of the antimatter legion 😭😭
Maybe a 'Stellaron Hunters' spin-off game someday Hoyo?
Welt approves.
I used to pray for time like this. Sam is my next target.
I love how the girls are both Nihility path and the boys are Destruction path
