Welt is the one of the characters that will be playable once Honkai: Star Rail releases. Here's everything we know about him.

Honkai: Star Rail – Welt

“A seasoned member of the Express Crew.

The passion buried in his heart burns anew as he enjoys this fresh adventure.

Occasionally, he would sketch the experiences in a notebook.”

 

In Honkai: Star Rail, Welt is a 5-star Imaginary character. His Path is The Nihility, meaning he is designed to take on the role of Debuffer. This is reflected in most of his Combat Skills, as he has mechanics that reduce the enemy's SPD and delay their actions.

His Traces focus mostly on dealing more DMG and buffing his ATK stat.

Welt is voiced by Hosoya Yoshimasa in the Japanese version, the same VA from his Honkai Impact 3rd appearance, as well as Azumane Asahi in Haikyuu! and Reiner Braun in Attack on Titan.

His English VA is Corey Landis, who has a long career in acting, writing, and music.

Other Welt Details

“The wise and sophisticated former Anti-Entropy Sovereign who inherits the name of the world — Welt. He has saved Earth from annihilation time and time again.

After the calamity ended, the heavy burden ordained by fate to Welt had been removed for a time, and he became an animation storyboard artist. However, after the conspiracy with St. Fountain came to a close, Welt had no choice but to venture with the initiator of the incident to the other side of the space portal.

Perhaps even he didn't expect the new journey and companions that awaited him.”

This official lore blurb is a reference to a Honkai Impact 3rd manga where Welt Yang is also present. Welt's splash art also features four characters from HI3: Frederica Nikola Tesla, Lieserl Albert Einstein, the Void Archives, and Welt Joyce.
