Honkai Star Rail Moze skills and abilities leak for update 2.5

Moze is one of the leaked new playable characters for Honkai Star Rail update 2.5. According to reliable leaker, Razor_Language, Moze is a 4 star rarity and has an “amazing unit”.

Moze is a Hunt character that deals damage as expected, but he also provides “a lot of different things in form of debuffs, which makes him a hybrid of DPS and also Nihility unit”. Below is a list of skills and abilities Moze possesses:

• 40% Increased Crit damage taken debuff on an enemy.
• 25% Increased Follow up damage taken debuff on an enemy.
• ‘Coordinated attack’ by 30% of his attack whenever ally hit an enemy marked by him.
• He vanishes from field.
• Recover 1 Skill Point everytime he launch a Follow Up Attack, 1 turn cooldown.

In addition, Razor_Language has also revealed his “favorite passive of him”. The passive is as follows:

“Moze’s Action is Advanced Forward by 30% when his Departed status is dispelled. If Moze’s current Charge equals 4 or greater, then his action will instead be Advanced Forward by 60%.”

The Twitter thread is concluded with the sentiment that “His kit is very unique and I love it, it might not translate to downright the best for X or Y, but his uniqueness puts a variety on how we build our teams and that’s very fun”.

One user replied saying, “Key phrase ‘E6 MOZE’ until then bench,” to which Rajor replied, “For e0, half the number for point number 1, remove point number 2. The rest is e0 kit”.
