The next Honkai Star Rail banners
The next Honkai Star Rail banners are slated to feature five-star characters The Herta (Ice, Erudition) and Aglaea (Lightning, Remembrance) following drip marketing released on HoYoverse’s social channels.
It’s currently unclear which four-star characters will be joining these new units on their respective banners. Regardless, the weapon banners are certain to feature the signature light cones of all characters.
The Honkai Star Rail 3.0 banners are due to arrive on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 following the conclusion of version 2.7.
Current Honkai Star Rail event banners
The Honkai Star Rail banners are The Long Voyage Home and Firefull Flyshine, which feature the five-star characters Fugue (Fire, Nihility) and Firefly (Fire, Destruction).
All banners in this phase include boosted pull rates for four-star characters Gallagher (Fire, Abundance), Yukong (Imaginary, Harmony), and Misha (Ice, Destruction).
The Honkai Star Rail banners run from Wednesday, December 25, 2024, to Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
Honkai Star Rail weapon banners
The Honkai Star Rail weapon banners feature the five-star signature light cones for Fugue and Firefly: Long Road Leads Home (Nihility) and Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest (Destruction).
Both light cone banners include boosted pull rates for the four-star light cones Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat (Nihility), Indelible Promise (Destruction), and Concert for Two (Preservation).
These banners are also scheduled to run from Wednesday, December 25, 2024, to Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
Honkai Star Rail standard banner
The Honkai Star Rail standard banner is called Stellar Warp. It’s a permanent fixture that offers the chance to pull from the standard pool of characters and light cones.
The standard banner includes the following five-star characters:
- Bailu (Lightning, Abundance)
- Bronya (Wind, Harmony)
- Clara (Physical, Destruction)
- Gepard (Ice, Preservation)
- Himeko (Fire, Erudition)
- Welt (Imaginary, Nihility)
- Yanqing (Ice, Hunt)
Unlike the event banner, the Honkai Star Rail standard banner only requires regular Star Rail passes, which are far more common than their special counterparts. While you can’t pull limited characters like Seele or Imbibitor Lunae from this banner, there are still a variety of highly coveted five-star characters that you’re in with a chance to win – be sure to check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list to discover the best of the bunch.
