Cipher is one of the two upcoming units for Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3. She is a 5-star Quantum unit following the Path of Nihility. Cipher is a character that focuses on dealing Quantum and True DMG while also debuffing enemies by reducing their DEF and, more importantly, their ATK. She looks like a solid sub-DPS unit to have on your roster, and in this guide, you can find leaked information on her skills and constellations to get a deeper understanding of what the character is capable of.

- When there are no enemy targets with "Regular Customer" on the battlefield, Cipher immediately causes one enemy target with the highest Max HP on the battlefield to become the "Regular Customer." When using Skill and Ultimate, the primary target becomes the "Regular Customer." The "Regular Customer" state only takes effect on the latest target.
- After the "Regular Customer" is attacked by other ally targets, Cipher immediately launches Follow-up ATK against the "Regular Customer," dealing Quantum DMG equal to 400% of Cipher's ATK. This Follow-up ATK can only trigger once, and the trigger count is reset after Cipher uses her Ultimate.
- Cipher will record 15% of the non-True DMG ally targets dealt to the "Regular Customer," but the Overflow DMG will not be recorded. The recorded value is cleared after using Ultimate.
