Players of Honkai Impact 3rd, its predecessor Guns Girl Z, and even the hit RPG Genshin Impact will be familiar with Raiden Mei. Now, the latest Honkai Star Rail leaks circulating the community are images claimed to be Star Rail's iteration of Raiden Mei.

Honkai Star Rail – Raiden Mei Leaked Art

The leak consists of a set of several images that seem to be exploring several design choices for Raiden Mei. The design palettes include a red-black design and a white-purple design. This is similar to previous iterations of Raiden Mei, namely APHO Mei and the Orochi Cuirass outfit from Honkai Impact 3rd.

In all of her designs, she is holding at least one katana, and HoYoverse seems keen on keeping this aspect of her design.

These newer leaks also further corroborated Raiden Mei's role as a playable character – a 5-star Lightning Hunt character.

There is no indication of when she will be playable, but it's almost certain that she will be playable along with the release of a Japan-themed area in Honkai Star Rail. This area, affectionately referred to as “Space Japan” by the player base, is not yet expected for a year or two.

A few months ago, a Honkai Star Rail leak that concerned Raiden Mei also circulated, that time for her Abilities. In that leak, she was referred to as “Yayi,” her Chinese name. That leak also briefly described her design, and it matches closely to the Orochi Cuirass-inspired outfit that we see here. It would seem that it's accurate, given that it can be seen that it was explored more in this leak.
