Revision 1

Overview

Starspine (Chinese name 星刺猬) is an Anima of the Light Aspect in Honkai: Nexus Anima. It is one of the 82 Anima on the official roster published on the game's global and Chinese sites, a roster that has been unchanged since mid-2026 as of September 2026.

The official compendium describes Starspine this way: Resembling a hedgehog, this Anima plucks stars from its back to give to children. Those who stroke its spines struggle to describe the sensation.

Official Profile

Aspect Synergy

Starspine counts toward the Light synergy in Nexus Battles. Deploying several Anima that share an Aspect, including bench units in assistance slots, activates escalating synergy bonuses once the deployed count reaches that Aspect's breakpoints; the current breakpoint ladders are listed on the Aspects page and the way Aspect and Trait bonuses combine is covered under Synergy System. HoYoverse publishes no Trait for any Anima on either official roster layer, so any Trait label attached to Starspine elsewhere is an observation from test builds rather than an official stat.
