Blade (SP)

So, it looks like Blade and Silver Wolf have officially touched down in Planarcadia! It seems our Stellaron Hunters, who’ve been a bit low-key in the Amphoreus storyline, are finally ready to pop off.

But can we just talk about whoever designed Blade's new fit? Absolute genius. The way his physique peaks through those bandages is... well, let’s just say Hoyo knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s straight-up fan service and I’m not complaining!

On a more serious note, it’s wild to see someone as stoic as Blade switching over to the Path of Elation. What on earth did he go through to make that jump? Maybe Blade SP’s story is all about finally facing his past and finding a twisted kind of peace—interpreting Elation through a lens of extreme sorrow, like finding a reason to smile even when everything is hurting. It’s deep, it’s emotional, and I am totally here for it.

HSR 4.5 Banner

Robin’s SP form is expected to lean further into her performance-driven identity, potentially amplifying team-wide buffs or tempo control, while Aventurine (SP) naturally keeps the spotlight on Ten Stonehearts politics and high-stakes manipulation. Thematically, this patch screams “spotlight and spectacle”—public-facing brilliance on one side, calculated risk-taking on the other.

Pearl 

Sugilite?

Late October is looking mysterious with the arrival of Sugilite, one of the most anticipated members of the Ten Stonehearts (P45). That vibrant purple color is basically Sugilite’s signature, and the cornerstone in his hand perfectly matches the features of a real sugilite gemstone. The sphinx in the background suggests that his design might be heavily inspired by Egyptian elements, while the feast on the table and the mountains of treasure behind him serve as a clear metaphor for human desire. It feels like Sugilite might be a master of manipulation who knows exactly how to pull people's strings.

 

HSR 4.7 Banner

Nihilux

Meet Nihilux, the only character who was missing from those early official silhouettes. She’s seen holding a pen, which has fans speculating she might be an artist capable of literally drawing Aha into existence. With her silver-white hair, a stylish beret, and those half-rim glasses framing her purple eyes, her "intellectual beauty" vibe is honestly off the charts.

Her title is Origin of Aha, and the official intro even calls her the "strictest mother of the Aeons." If that’s not a major hint at her being absolutely cracked in the meta, I don't know what is. It’s pretty clear Nihilux is going to be one of the heavy hitters and a must-pull for the 4.x era.

 

We’re ending the year with a bang on December 9th because Void Archives is finally returning. Lore enthusiasts, feel free to start screaming now! To wrap up the 4.x cycle, rumors are flying that SP Sampo will finally reveal his true identity as "The Joker," a high-ranking Emanator of Elation. It’s exactly the kind of year-end climax we’ve all been waiting for.

That said, we don't have 100% confirmation that SP Sampo will definitely show up in the 4.x versions, so keep those expectations in check for now. The banner slot might actually go to another character from the "God War" since HoYoverse has teased so many faces in their PVs that haven't debuted yet. Anyway, if any of this turns out wrong, we’re just going to blame Aha for hacking into LDShop and messing with our data!

Conclusion

SP characters, body model changes, and Planarcadia’s Elation chaos all signal a long-term shift in how HoYoverse wants players to engage with both the narrative and the gacha.

If you’re planning pulls, think in arcs, not patches. Decide which factions, paths, and storylines you actually care about, then budget your Stellar Jades accordingly.

And if a banner hits when your stash is empty, well… you know where LDShop is~ LDShop has always got your back with those quick, discounted top-ups. (￣▽￣)
