Next and current banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Just like our beloved Trailblazer's bizarre personality, the banners in Honkai: Star Rail are constantly changing, so it's a good idea to keep track of what the current banners and next banners are.

Limited-time rotating banners are called 'Event Warps' in Star Rail, and they usually run for three weeks. Whether it's a new banner or a rerun, once those three weeks are up, it's time to say goodbye and greet the new banners with your stack of Special Pass tickets. Or in my case, a stack of three tickets, because it's hard to save when you want every dang character in the game.

It's best to convert your Stellar Jade into these Special Pass tickets, not the regular Pass tickets used on the standard and Departure Warp banners, because you get plenty of the regular variety by just playing the game. It's much harder to get characters only available for a limited-time—as demonstrated by my pitiful Special Pass ticket reserves—so you'll want all the help you can get when the character you like is available.

The next banners in Honkai: Star Rail are Dan Heng - Permansor Terrae and Anaxa during Phase 2 of version 3.6. And in great news for my trembling Stellar Jade funds, we all get one copy of Permansor Terrae for free! You have until the end of version 4.0 to claim him.

Permansor Terrae is a new five-star Physical-attacker of the Preservation path, and Anaxa is a returning five-star Wind-attacker of the Erudition path, and the boosted four-star characters on Permansor Terrae and Anaxa's next banners are:

• Sushang (Physical, Hunt)
• Hanya (Physical, Harmony)
• Serval (Lightning, Erudition)

Evernight and The Herta are the current banners in Honkai: Star Rail, and they're both set to end on Wednesday, October 15. Saber and Archer are also currently running on the special Collaboration Banner, and you can expect Saber and Archer to stick around for "a long time." I wish I could be more specific than that, but sorry, that's all miHoYo gave us to work with.

What I do know is that although the Collaboration Banner doesn't share pity with regular banners, it does carry its own pity between Collaboration Banners. Good to know that this may not be the only cool collab coming to Star Rail!

Saber is a new five-star Wind-attacker of the Destruction path, and Archer is a new five-star Quantum-attacker of the Hunt path, and keep in mind that we all get one copy of Archer for free! You have until the end of version 3.6 to claim him, so make sure you don't miss out.

Back to the regularly scheduled ordinary banners now, and Evernight is a new five-star Ice-attacker of the Remembrance path, and The Herta is a returning five-star Ice-attacker of the Erudition path.

The boosted four-star characters on these current banners are:

• Misha (Ice, Destruction)
• Guinaifen (Fire, Nihility)
• Xueyi (Quantum, Destruction)

After months of leaks, speculation, drip marketing, and an all-to-short story reveal in-game, Evernight is officially here to drop some lore bombs on us, and steal all our Stellar Jade.

But never mind all that important March 7th lore, because yes, you read that right, The Herta is getting another rerun. That's three The Herta banners since version 3.0. That's The Herta running for a quarter of Amphoreus' entire runtime. You good, HoYo?

The Through Worlds Apart Preservation path and Life Should Be Cast to Flames Erudition path Light Cones are on the next weapon banner in Honkai: Star Rail during Phase 2 of version 3.6. They are Permansor Terrae and Anaxa's signature Light Cones, respectively

The boosted four-star weapons on these banners are:

• Landau's Choice (Preservation)
• Only Silence Remains (Hunt)
• Perfect Timing (Abundance)

Current Light Cone banner in Honkai: Star Rail

The current Light Cone banners run until Wednesday, October 15, and the five-star Light Cones on the current banners in Honkai: Star Rail are the To Evernight's Stars Remembrance path and Into the Unreachable Veil Erudition path. These are Evernight and The Herta's signature five-star Light Cones, respectively.

All of the four-star boosted Light Cones on the current Light Cone banner are:

• Dream's Montage (Abundance)
• After the Charmony Fall (Erudition)
• Dance! Dance! Dance! (Erudition)

Don't forget that Archer and Saber's signature Light Cones are also a part of the Collaboration Banner. Just tab to the A Thankless Coronation Light Cone to try for Saber's, and The Hell Where Ideals Burn Light Cone to try pulling for Archer's instead.

Honkai: Star Rail banner list

Honkai: Star Rail has taken to throwing banners our way at an alarming rate these days. The 'ol standard of a new character and a rerun every phase of a patch has now turned into a dice roll on whether the Indelible Coterie banner and its six character reruns will appear or not. (Do you not have enough of our money already miHoYo!?)

Choice paralysis aside, these special banners have been a great way to ensure no character gets left behind for too long, which happens all too often in miHoYo's other gacha juggernaut, Genshin Impact.

Still, if you're looking to see how long it's been since a character has ran, or just want a quick look at the current banners, here's the entire list of all banners in Honkai Star Rail:
