The world of Honkai Star Rail is shaping up to be very interesting, with plenty of new and innovative character designs cropping up. One such character is Honkai Star Rail’s Screwllum, a humanoid robot member of the Genius Society, with a refined skillset under his belt. So far, Hoyoverse is yet to confirm much about the mysterious mecha man, so let’s see what we do know about Screwllum.

Who is Honkai Star Rail’s Screwllum?
Honkai Star Rail’s Screwllum is, quite obviously when you look at him, a mechanical man. He’s known as Mechanical Aristocrat Screwllum I and is the 76th member of the Genius Society, where he works with Honkai Star Rail’s Herta. Oh, he’s also the ruler of his own planet – Planet Screwllum – where he lives. Perhaps one day the Astral Express will take a trip here, too.
As a member of the Genius Society, Screwllum works alongside Herta and Ruan Mei in creating the Honkai Star Rail Simulated Universe. He wrote the algorithm that it runs on and earned a place for his portrait in Herta’s office. Speaking of in-game appearances, when sending characters on an assignment to retrieve ancient parts, you may notice that the assignment is set by Screwllum.
Screwllum’s good deeds spread across the galaxy. He lead a resistance against a fellow Genius Society member Rubert after Rubert sought to end organic life with a war. Screwllum won and made peace for mechanical lifeforms, even after Rubert’s heinous actions.
Screwllum is set to appear in Honkai Star Rail’s next update, 1.1, which makes sense given his history. His hacking skills are commendable, and he’s on par with Honkai Star Rail’s Silver Wolf – who he’s had run-ins with before. Silver Wolf at one point cracked his code, proving herself to be almost as skilled. Screwllum did easily wrestle control back from her, though.
Is Honkai Star Rail’s Screwllum playable?
Hoyoverse is yet to confirm if Screwllum is a playable character, but our senses tell us that a character with such an extravagant and noticeable design will be playable in the future. Let’s hope it’s not too far off, unlike Genshin Impact’s Baizhu who made us wait two years.
Screwllum also appears on a Honkai Star Rail light cone’s design in-game already, called We Will Meet Again. This also hints that he will be playable in the future. Good news, though – we’re set to officially meet Screwllum in Honkai Star Rail’s 1.1 update – in the livestream, he’s seen in the Belobog museum and speaking to Herta on the space station.
Who is Honkai Star Rail Screwllum’s voice actor?
For now, it’s not really confirmed who voices Screwllum in most languages, though his Chinese VA is Zhao Yang of Resident Evil 8 fame.
Fans are already fawning over the brand new robotic man’s voice actors so we’re on a mission to find out who’s behind them. The English VA could be none other than Sean Chiplock (Genshin Impact’s Diluc) or Chris Hackney (Genshin Impact’s Ayato), and the JP VA may be Dio himself, Takehito Koyasu. We need to wait and see who reveals themselves as the actors.
What are Honkai Star Rail Screwllum’s path and element?
For now, we don’t have any confirmation on Screwllum’s build, rarity, path, or element. We’ll keep our eyes peeled and update right here as soon as Hoyoverse confirms anything. However, given that Screwllum appears on a light cone of the Nihility path, this may be a hint towards the path he is on. This is our own speculation, though!
And that’s all we have for you about Honkai Star Rail’s Screwllum just now! If you need some more recommendations for games to hop into, check out our Tears of the Kingdom shrines and Tears of the Kingdom dragons guides, or grab all the latest Genshin Impact codes for some free gems.
