Character Trailer and Robin • Summeretto Footage

A Character Trailer That Feels Like a Music Video
“Chasing the Wind” is not built like a conventional combat showcase. Robin remains at the center of a summer journey while music carries almost the entire video.
4Gamer describes the result as being close to a music video, a direction that fits Robin's identity as a singer while distinguishing Summeretto from trailers built primarily around battle animations.
Robin Escapes by Bicycle and Balloon
The trailer revolves around Robin's various escape plans.
One sequence puts her on a bicycle alongside the Male Trailblazer, while another attempt takes her into the sky with a large balloon-like object.
March 7th also appears, helping the video feel more like a relaxed trip involving familiar characters than an isolated character demonstration.
“Only by Chasing the Wind” Becomes Robin's New Song
Version 4.5 introduces Robin's new single “Only by Chasing the Wind,” with Chevy once again providing the singing vocals.
The song is directly tied to Summeretto's identity and Robin's Astropolis story. Music therefore remains central to the character even as this version adopts a different Path and combat system.
Robin • Summeretto Moves to the Path of Remembrance
Robin • Summeretto is a 5★ Wind character on the Path of Remembrance.
Teammate actions build Vibes for Robin. Once she uses her Skill and reaches the required amount, the team enters Fever Pitch, granting buffs when allies attack and rewarding teams that take actions frequently.
Her Ultimate immediately advances one selected teammate, restores that character's Energy, and increases Robin's own Vibes.
She Leads Version 4.5's First Half
Robin • Summeretto is the new limited character for the first half of Version 4.5.
The 5★ Light Cone “Rise and Sing” receives a boosted drop rate alongside her. Hyacine returns through a rerun, while the new 4★ Light Cone “A Little Getaway” is also added to the first-half Event Warps.
Story-wise, Robin is not visiting Astropolis solely for a vacation. After becoming head of the Oak Family, she is secretly investigating Gopher Wood's legacy.
Official X Campaign Offers Gift Cards to 20 Winners
The English Character Trailer post also includes an “Event With Rewards.”
Participants are asked to follow the official Honkai: Star Rail account and share the campaign post. Twenty winners will be randomly selected to receive gift cards worth approximately US$25 each.
The official deadline is September 1, 2026 at 23:59 UTC+8.
Why This Matters
1) The trailer preserves Robin's identity as a singer
Even with a new Path and gameplay role, music remains the centerpiece of her presentation rather than background decoration.
2) Her kit rewards teams that act frequently
Vibes and Fever Pitch directly benefit from teammate activity, while her Ultimate can push another character forward immediately.
3) Summeretto has a story role beyond the vacation theme
The bright seasonal visuals sit on top of a more serious mission as Robin secretly investigates Gopher Wood's legacy in Astropolis.
