“	What, are you surprised that the nature of the Herrscher of Reason is so simple? The Herrscher of Reason's power is more like a castle floating in the air - just like mathematics. Proving that 1 + 1 equals 2 is nothing more than repeating the definition of natural numbers. The Herrscher of Reason only inherited the logic of civilization's evolution. So, to the other Herrschers, nothing actually happens if the power of the Herrscher of Reason becomes theirs, because it is a miracle belonging to mortals.	„

Summary

Bronya Zaychik (ブローニャ・ザイチク, Burōnya Zaichiku) is one of the main characters of Honkai Impact 3rd, alongside Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei.

Brought up in the ruins of Siberia after being orphaned by the Second Eruption, Bronya was trained as an assassin for the purposes of civil war; eventually becoming the infamous "Silver Wolf of the Urals". In her last assassination mission, she was defeated by her target Cocolia and brought to her orphanage, changing her life forever.

After the loss of Seele, her emotions and the use of her legs to the X-10 Project, Bronya would eventually go on a mission to Nagazora, where she would meet Kiana and Mei. The events of the Third Eruption would bring them together, culminating in their enrollment in St. Freya's Academy.

High Resistance to:

• Honkai Energy (Herrscher; After ascending, Bronya is noted to have achieved the greatest synchronization with her Herrscher Authority out of all the known ascended Herrschers at the time, and should thus have at least equal resistance to Honkai and its effects as Kiana)

Attack Potency: Large Island level (Using Valkyrie Chariot, nearly defeated Wendy with the help of Mei and Kiana, which despite Wendy's poor adaptability with her Herrscher Core, still had enough power to vaporize several cities, and due to having the true Gem of Desire, she would be stronger than Pseudo-Herrschers like Avrora, who was capable of performing this feat.) | Galaxy level+ (At her peak with this battlesuit, she should be roughly comparable to Void Drifter Kiana during the Arc City events), High Complex Multiverse level with the Star of Eden | Galaxy level+ (Capable of single-handedly destroying Tlaloc, one of the products of Project CHIMERA, who was powerful enough that during their first encounter with the monster, the combined might of Theresa, Rozaliya, Liliya and Bronya at that time were completely incapable of scratching it. Stated by Welt Yang to have greater Honkai adaptability than him, even after emerging from the Sea of Quanta with a more Honkai adapted body. He also states she has more talent than him), High Complex Multiverse level with the Star of Eden | Low Outerverse level (Incomparably stronger than before; effortlessly stronger than the peak powers achieved by both Welt Joyce and Welt Yang prior; stated that the first worthy opponent she encountered since metamorphosing was the entire Project Stigma itself; and assisted in the defeat of Kevin Kaslana at his strongest alongside Kiana and Mei, with her strongest creations, the Selene Cannons, being supposedly strong enough to break the forcefield of Irrefutable Suppression erected by Kevin, which both Kiana and Mei were incapable of even scratching with normal attacks)

Speed: Relativistic flight speed, FTL reaction and combat speed (comparable to Fu Hua, who can dodge gamma ray lasers from point-blank range) | Relativistic flight speed, FTL reaction and combat speed (Faster than before; can keep up with peak Void Drifter Kiana in a spar) | Immeasurable (Kept up with the Herrscher of Sentience, who is swifter than the likes of the Herrscher of the Void) | Immeasurable (Far faster than before; should be far swifter compared to characters on the level of Kalpas, who nearly blitzed pre-Elysian Realm Herrscher of Thunder Mei while she was on-guard)

Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (should be comparable to early-game White Comet Kiana), higher with Project Bunny 19C, at least Class G with Star of Eden's gravity | At least Class 10, higher with Project Bunny 19C (Should be stronger than before) | At least Class G, higher with Project Bunny 19C (Should be physically comparable to other Herrschers on her level) | Immeasurable (Physically comparable to the likes of Herrscher of Finality Kiana and Herrscher of Origin Mei, and was able to hold back a finishing blow from Deliverance Kevin for a prolonged time)

Striking Strength: Large Island level (Comparable to early-game White Comet Kiana) | Galaxy level+ (Capable of sparring with Void Drifter Kiana during the Herrscher of Sentience arc) | Galaxy level+ (Far stronger than before) | Low Outerverse level (Capable of dealing significant damage to Kevin Kaslana in his Deliverance Form)

Durability: Large Island level (Tanked attacks from Wendy) | Galaxy level+ (Can take blows from Void Drifter Kiana) | Galaxy level+ (Stronger than Welt Yang) | Low Outerverse level (Can take serious blows from Kevin Kaslana in his Deliverance Form)

Stamina: Superhuman (Could continue fighting through several bubble universes in the Sea of Quanta for days on-end, and as a Herrscher, should have stamina comparable to Durandal, who could maintain peak combat performance for an entire month without rest)

Range: Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons; up to Low Outerversal with the Star of Eden | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons; up to Low Outerversal with the Star of Eden | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons; Up to Low Outerversal with Reason Authority (Imaginary singularities are a fundamental attribute of Herrscher cores, in which it exists on all dimensions simultaneously. Herrscher cores are already constants in the Imaginary space, being able to act as a guiding star to higher-dimensions. At is peak, allow them to affect the Imaginary Space and link it to the Imaginary Tree) | Standard Melee Range on her own; Extended Melee Range with Project Bunny's melee attacks; Hundreds of Meters with Project Bunny's ranged weapons; up to Low Outerversal with Authority of Reason and Star of Eden

Standard Equipment: Project Bunny 19C, Star of Eden, and a Survival Knife

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Simply by applying her existing knowledge of weapons and war, Bronya nigh-instantly understood how to use the Authority of Reason upon obtaining it, despite Welt Yang having taken decades of study to learn how to use it to its fullest. Furthermore, Welt notes Bronya's ability to instinctively fill in the gaps in her knowledge of mechanisms she had never experienced before purely through applying her preexisting knowledge on similar mechanisms)

Weaknesses: In the earliest chapters, Bronya possessed a brain chip that could be hacked to take control of her actions. However, that has since been burned out and removed before she ever donned the Drive Kometa battlesuit. Otherwise, none notable.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Authority of Reason (理りの權能けんのう, Ri no Kennō): The power of the Herrscher of Reason is "construction"; that is, to create objects out of thin air that would normally require extremely complicated processes to produce from scratch, just by converting Honkai energy into "Reason", which can take the form of conventional energy and matter down to a quantum level. Prior to metamorphosis, these construction powers were limited by the user's own understanding and energy source, but the actual upper limit of the Herrscher of Reason is civilization's "possibility". Anything that has been, or can eventually be, comprehended by civilization is something the Herrscher of Reason can construct, be it objects, abilities or even intangible properties and concepts. This is why, after her metamorphosis, Bronya is able to analyze and produce anything she can reason to be possible through human civilization, even if she lacks the knowledge herself, with the Authority filling in the gaps automatically. Everything else that the Herrscher of Reason can do is an extension or supplement to this fundamental ability. Below are just a few examples: Construct Modification: Besides the basic "construction", this is the only portion of the Authority that Bronya could use regularly prior to her metamorphosis into the Herrscher of Truth. Her Authority can take hold of constructs she is familiar with and modify them as she sees fit, which is the source of the many structural changes and improvements that Project Bunny 19C has undergone since Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason. Self-Modification: Bronya can modify her body using the Authority, which she used to fix her legs which where crippled by Honkai corruption during the X-10 experiment. Beyond this one use, the modification of biological material was too complex for her, as the body had too many complex simultaneous processes going on at once that she couldn't keep up with. After metamorphosis, however, Bronya can effortlessly rebuild her body and even modify it to extreme extents to her needs, such as when she claimed she could turn herself into an Imaginary Construct, perform the feat of Welt Yang, who stored his mind in the Core to recreate his entire body from nothing, or replicate the feat of Welt Joyce, who transformed his own hand into a miniature Oath of Judah. Analysis: The Herrscher of Reason can analyze and memorize objects just by touching them, on top of her standard analysis abilities. Creation of Divine Keys: The Previous Era's greatest technological marvels that draw power from the cores of slain Herrschers, and thus utilize their authorities though not nearly to the same extent outside of their Zeroth Powers. Bronya can now theoretically use every Divine Key she knows exists, and even replicate their abilities independently of actually reconstructing them. However, she tends to prefer her own custom weapons, which are generally shown to be more powerful. Logic Recreation: Bronya can take the underlying "logic" that certain things operate on and replicate them to use for her own purposes, such as when she recreated the logic of the imaginary constructs that served as supports for the framework of Project Stigma in order to deconstruct and reconstruct the order of Project Stigma, tear open a hole in its mind-space, and stagnate the 7 billion wills that compose it to cease its functions temporarily.
