Cipher
Last updated 2026-03-03
"Cifera? Ah, so you've heard of me... But few call me by that name these days. Call me Cipher. It's sharper and swifter, like the wind itself. A perfect name for a master thief, don't you think?"[12]
Cipher, real name Cifera, is a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail.
The lost city of rogues, Dolos, where 300 Rogues revel in their games, answering to no one. Race onward, fleet-Footed Thief Star Cifera, Chrysos Heir of the "Trickery" Coreflame, and may your web of lies spread with the breeze throughout all lands.
— "Ha! Trying to pull one over on me? Dream on!"[12]
