Honkai: Star Rail Banners are what you can spend your Star Pass currency on to Warp for characters and Light Cone weapons.

Every character event Banner runs for three weeks, making way for the next Banner. These event Banners have a single 5-Star character with boosted pull odds, and three boosted 4-Stars.

There are also Light Cone weapon Banners that change their featured 5-Star and 4-Star pulls every three weeks as well, and two permanent Banners available with their own unique character and Light Cone pools.

We’ve detailed what the next and current Banners are in Honkai: Star Rail below, along with a list of all Banners that have ran in the game since its 1.0 launch.

Honaki Star Rail next Banner event characters

For these temporary event character Banners, you have to use Special Star Passes to Warp on them, and this Banner usually changes every three weeks.

New 5-Star Ruan Mei and returning 5-Star Blade are the next Banners in Honkai: Star Rail, with new 4-Star Xueyi debuting on both of their Banners.

Ruan Mei is an Ice attacker of The Harmony, Blade is a Wind attacker of The Destruction path, and Xueyi is a Quantum attacker of The Destruction path. They are all available during Phase 1 of version 1.6.

Here's all of the boosted 4-Star characters on Ruan Mei and Blade's next Banners:

  • March 7th (Ice, The Preservation)
  • Tingyun (Lightning, The Harmony)
  • Xueyi (Quantum, The Destruction)

In Phase 2 of version 1.6 we're then getting new 5-Star Dr Ratio and returning 5-Star Kafka on the next Banners.

However, it's important to keep in mind for your Warping plans that Dr Ratio will be free for any player who unlocks the mail system and logs-in between his Banner's release in version 1.6 and the end of version 2.1.

Dr Ratio is an Imaginary attacker of The Hunt path, and Kafka is a Lightning attacker of The Nihility path. Here's all of the boosted 4-Star characters on Dr Ratio and Kafka's next Banners:

  • Sushang (Physical, The Hunt)
  • Natasha (Physical, The Abundance)
  • Hook (Fire, The Destruction)

2.0 Banners

After much teasing in trailers, Black Swan is finally coming to Honkai: Star Rail in version 2.0, as her drip marketing has started on social media. Black Swan is a 5-Star Wind attacker of The Nihility path.

Also thanks to drip marketing, we can expect Sparkle and Misha to debut in Phase 2 of the 2.0 Banners. Sparkle is a 5-Star Quantum attacker of the Harmony path, and Misha is a 4-Star Ice attacker of the Destruction path.

Keep in mind that characters past version 1.6 might require new materials to level-up, as the 2.0 Developer Radio blog post explained that more materials are being added in version 2.0 for new characters.

Although all but confirmed through social media, these new characters aren't 100% guaranteed to come out during versions 1.6 and 2.0, and the reruns are always subject to change. We'll update this page when official information points to solid release dates.


Version 1.6 with Ruan Mei and Dr Ratio is nearly here! Until then, Argenti runs in version 1.5, so make sure to redeem those new codes for Stellar Jade if you want them or future characters - and check all characters out on our regularly updated tier list. For everything else, we have pages on the next Banner, Ministry of Education quiz answers, how to get more Star Rail Passes, Stagnant Shadows, and an English voice actors list.


Honkai Star Rail next Light Cones Banners

Brilliant Fixation and Bygone Reminiscence are permanent weapon Banners with boosted 5-Star and 4-Star weapons that change their weapon pools every three weeks, at the same time new event character Banners are added. Just like these character Banners, you must use Special Warp Passes to Warp on Brilliant Fixation and Bygone Reminiscence.

The next Brilliant Fixation Banner features new 5-Star 'Past Self in Mirror' Harmony path Light Cone, Ruan Mei's signature. Running alongside this in Phase 1 of version 1.6 in Bygone Reminiscence is returning 5-Star 'The Unreachable Side' of the Destruction path, Blade's signature Light Cone.

Then, in Phase 2 of version 1.6 we're getting the new 5-Star 'Baptism of Pure Thought' Hunt path Light Cone, Dr Ratio's signature. Running alongside this in Bygone Reminiscence is the returning 5-Star 'Patience is All You Need' of the Nihility path, Kafka's signature.

Keep in mind that even if a Light Cone has a picture of a specific character on it, you can still use that weapon on anybody to increase their stats. However, only characters who are on the same path as the Light Cone can benefit from its unique abilities.

Honkai Star Rail Departure Warp Banner

You can spend your regular Star Passes on the permanent Departure Warp Banner. However, if you've Warped 50 times on it, Departure Warp will no longer be available.

It's worth using your regular Star Rail Passes on the Departure Banner, as there's a 20% discount for a set of 10 Warps, so you get ten for the price of eight, and you are guaranteed a 5-Star character within these 50 total pulls.

There are seven 5-Star characters you can get from the Departure Warp Banner in Honkai: Star Rail:

  • Bailu
  • Bronya
  • Clara
  • Gepard
  • Himeko
  • Welt
  • Yanqing

Here's the 4-Star characters available in the Departure Warp Banner pool:

  • Arlan
  • Asta
  • Dan Heng
  • Herta
  • Hook
  • March 7th
  • Natasha
  • Pela
  • Qingque
  • Sampo
  • Serval
  • Sushang
  • Tingyun

Honkai Star Rail Regular Stellar Warp Banner

All 5-Star characters and Light Cones not included in event character Banners are available in Stellar Warp, a permanent Banner.

For every 10 Warps you make with regular Star Passes on Stellar Warp you are guaranteed at least one 4-Star character or Light Cone weapon.

When you make a total of 300 Warps on the regular Banner, you get to choose from any of the 5-Stars included on it.

Here are all the 5-Star characters you can get from the Regular Stellar Warp Banner:

  • Bailu
  • Bronya
  • Clara
  • Gepard
  • Himeko
  • Welt
  • Yanqing

There are a lot more 4-Star items than 5-Stars in the Banner, so here's every 4-Star character you can get from Stellar Warp:

  • Arlan
  • Asta
  • Dan Heng
  • Guinaifen
  • Herta
  • Hook
  • Luka
  • Lynx
  • March 7th
  • Natasha
  • Pela
  • Qingque
  • Sampo
  • Serval
  • Sushang
  • Tingyun
  • Yukong
