Honkai Star Rail 1.3 Banner leaks

There's no official confirmation on the version 1.3 Banner schedule yet, but to help you decide who to save your precious Stellar Jade for, we've compiled information below on what the leaked upcoming 1.3 Banners are according to Team China information shared on the HonkaiStarRail_leaks subreddit, which seems to be unofficially confirmed through the official character page and drip marketing on Star Rail's social media accounts.

With this in mind, the 1.3 Banners in Honkai Star Rail should be 5-Star Fu Xuan and 5-Star Dan Heng's Imbibitor Lunae form. We officially know that Fu Xuan is a Quantum attacker of The Preservation path, and Imbibitor Lunae is an Imaginary attacker of the The Destruction path.

Gepard and Serval's younger sister, the 4-Star Lynx of The Abundance path, has also been teased by official accounts and the character page, so it's likely she'll debut on either the Fu Xuan or Imbibitor Lunae Banner.

As a reminder, this information isn't official, so we'll have to wait until the 1.3 livestream for solid details on who and what will be on the next Banners in Honkai Star Rail.
