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.

I hope your Stellar Jade reserves are up to scratch, because the second batch of Amphoreus character reruns are coming up in Phase 2 of version 3.7, with Phainon, Cipher, and Mydei the next banners in Honkai: Star Rail.

Phainon is a five-star Physical-attacker of the Destruction patch, Cipher is a five-star Quantum-attacker of the Nihility path, and Mydei is a five-star Imaginary-attacker of the Destruction path.

The boosted four-star characters on their banners are:

• Moze (Lightning, Hunt)
• Lynx (Quantum, Abundance)
• Pela (Ice, Nihility)

3.8 banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Over a year-and-a-half after the Ever-Flame Mansion crew were revealed in one of the coolest Myriad Celestia trailers to date, we're finally getting a character from this morally gray faction, with The Dahlia (AKA Constance) debuting in version 3.8.

Does that mean we're closer to getting more characters from another morally gray faction with an equally cool Myriad Celestia trailer that's over a year old?

Come on HoYo, just shut up and let the IPC take my money already.

Current banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Cyrene, Hyacine, Castorice, and Tribbie are the current banners in Honkai: Star Rail, with Cyrene's set to end on December 16. Hyacine, Castorice, and Tribbie will run for the usual three weeks, ending on November 26.

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 Cyrene a five-star Ice-attacker of the Remembrance path, Hyacine is a five-star Wind-attacker of the Remembrance path, Castorice is a five-star Quantum-attacker of the Remembrance path, and Tribbie is a five-star Quantum-attacker of the Harmony path

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

• Moze (Lightning, Hunt)
• Lynx (Quantum, Abundance)
• Pela (Ice, Nihility)

Personally, while Cyrene's growth spurt is exciting and all, I'm so ready to avenge my lost 50/50 on Hyacine's banner. If I end up getting another Gepard Eidolon, and am denied my chubby pegasus again—who comes with a bonus pick-haired meta healer—I don't know if I have it in me to tell Gallagher he's working for the 587th day in a row. The poor guy.

In Phase 2 of version 3.7, the next Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail are Thus Burns the Dawn, Lies Dance on The Breeze, and Flame of Blood, Blaze My Path, which are all featured on the Coalesced Truths Banner. These are Phainon, Cipher, and Mydei's signature Light Cones, respectively.

The boosted four-star Light Cones on this next banner are:

• The Story's Next Page (Remembrance)
• Concert for Two (Preservation)
• Boundless Choreo (Nihility)

Cyrene's current Light Cone banner runs all the way until December 16, and it features her signature weapon, This Love, Forever of the Remembrance path.

The Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky, Make Farewells More Beautiful, and If Time Were a Flower Light Cones are rerunning on the Coalesced Truths Banner, and these are Hyacine, Castorice, and Tribbie's signature Light Cones, respectively.

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

• The Story's Next Page (Remembrance)
• Concert for Two (Preservation)
• Boundless Choreo (Nihility)

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:
