The HoYoverse multiverse connects its games, and Honkai: Star Rail's Bronya is a character that has alternate versions of herself.

The HoYoverse multiverse has intrigued fans, even more, the moment Honkai: Star Rail arrived on the scene. The video game maker previously confirmed that Star Rail's universe was attached to Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact with the Imaginary Tree, which was described as the foundation of life and where universes and bubble worlds were born. Although fans didn't necessarily have to play through Honkai Impact to know Star Rail, they still thought it was interesting that both games had different versions of identical characters.

One of those characters is Honkai: Star Rail's Bronya Rand, a playable five-star Wind character from Belobog. She is another version of Honkai Impact 3rd's Bronya Zaychik, who also had various iterations because the game's story progressed. Apart from having similar appearances, both Bronyas also provide the same backstories: they were raised in an orphanage and were adopted by Cocolia. What ultimately sets them apart was how their lives unfolded within their respective HoYoverse titles.

Bronya in Honkai: Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd Explained

In Honkai: Star Rail, Bronya Rand may be the commander from the Silvermane Guards and also the current Supreme Guardian. She originally originated from an orphanage in Rivet Town, which is located in Belobog's Underworld, where she was utilized by the former Supreme Guardian Cocolia Rand.

As a playable character, Bronya is renowned for wielding a rifle, which she uses to shoot at enemies. She's a Wind-element character following a Path of Harmony, and therefore she's a supporting character that buffs her allies' damage (DMG) and critical damage (CRIT DMG). Players can pull for her within the standard banner utilizing a Star Rail Pass. They could also face Bronya inside a boss fight within the main story mission and also the Simulated Universe.

Meanwhile, Bronya Zaychik in Honkai Impact 3rd is complicated. She began as a Russian orphan who had been raised to become an assassin designed to kill Cocolia, an associate of Anti-Entropy led by Welt Yang. When Bronya didn't assassinate her, Cocolia took pity and allow her to live in her orphanage, where she was experimented on. Bronya later gained the ability to use Honkai Energy, which may be the byproduct of the dangerous radiation that may turn people into Honkai beasts. Her default skin may be the Valkyrie Chariot, which players use for long-distance attacks and support skills.

Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya has multiple skins, each showcasing components from her past life in Siberia, her role in Anti-Entropy, and also the upgrades designed to her Valkyrie battlesuit as the story progressed. Some skins also gave Bronya different skill sets. For example, Black Nucleus allowed her to enter Stealth Mode, as the Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of Truth battlesuits gave her DPS-focused abilities.

On another hand, there's Bronie, who's Bronya wearing the Haxxor Bunny battlesuit. She exists within the Captainverse, which may be the community-chosen name talking about the continuity of Honkai Impact 3rd's event stories. These are also outside of the game's mainline story, so all the characters involved are alternate versions of the original. Bronie would later appear in Honkai: Star Rail as Silver Wolf, who may be the newest five-star banner character for Version 1.1.

Apart from Bronya, there are more HoYoverse characters who've crossed over its titles, and all sorts of have compelling storylines that vary from one another. These further strengthen the potential of their universes converging inside a future update or perhaps a completely new game. This could be an enjoyable way to see precisely how the characters of Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact, and Honkai Impact 3rd would connect to each other.

As of now, HoYoverse hasn't revealed any concrete plans for that multiverse it's creating. Still, many fans seem to become hopeful for that company's future developments, and hopefully with the ability to achieve a satisfying payoff for the characters that may be involved.

Honkai: Star Rail has become available on Mobile and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
