The name "Fugue" for the 5-star character Tingyun in Honkai: Star Rail might seem unusual, as it's rarely used, even by Tingyun herself. However, "fugue" refers to a loss of identity, a fitting description given Phantylia's theft of Tingyun's identity within the game's narrative.

While Tingyun's survival after the destructive corruption was hinted at, her return and recovery have been highly anticipated. The game's explanation of her recovery from possession coincides with her introduction as a playable character. For those eager to add the 5-star Tingyun to their team, here's the anticipated release window:
