The collab frames Rin as a composite of the strongest elements across the Fate franchise, a freedom the article argues only Star Rail's multi-world setting allows.

The second phase of the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/stay night UBW collaboration launched July 24, adding Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh as playable characters. The Automaton piece, written by a Fate fan who has not played Star Rail, examines how Rin's kit pulls from across the Fate franchise, including Ishtar's Noble Phantasm and the Jeweled Sword Zelretch from the Heaven's Feel route.
The second phase of the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/stay night UBW collaboration went live July 24, adding Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh to the roster alongside the new story chapter "Phantasm: Holy Grail War." The Automaton piece, written by a Fate fan who has not played Star Rail, focuses on how Rin's kit draws from across the franchise rather than just UBW.
Her ultimate is An Gal Ta Kigal She, the Noble Phantasm of the goddess Ishtar from Fate/Grand Order, while her skill is the Jeweled Sword Zelretch from the Heaven's Feel route. The article notes the design comes from Takashi Takeuchi, who also designed the collab illustration, and that Rin's outfit echoes Archer's look with a Command Seal motif on her glove.
