Version 2.2 with Robin and Boothill is nearly here! Meanwhile, in version 2.1 we have Aventurine and Jingliu running, 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, and an English voice actors list.
Honkai Star Rail 2.1 Banner leaks
There's no official confirmation on the version 2.1 Banner schedule yet, but to help you decide who to save your precious Stellar Jade for, we've compiled information below on what the likely 2.1 Banners are based on reliable leaks and official marketing that always hints at who is coming next.
With this in mind, as they were mentioned in the 2.1 livestream announcement on X, and their Drip marketing has been released, it's all but certain that new 5-Stars Acheron and Aventurine are on the 2.1 Banners in Honkai: Star Rail.
Acheron is a Lightning attacker of The Nihility path who should come out in Phase 1, and Aventurine is an Imaginary attacker of The Preservation path likely to release in Phase 2 of version 2.1. Gallagher should also debut as one of the boosted 4-Star characters on either Acheron or Aventurine's Banners in 2.1, with Gallagher being a Fire attacker of The Abundance path.
As for reruns, none of the 'leaks' have been from the usual accurate sources, so we don't want to get your hopes up about certain characters returning. Except for Jing Yuan, there does seem to be a pattern of rerunning the oldest Banners yet to get a rerun, so it's more likely that either Luocha, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, or Topaz will get reruns in 2.1 - but this is just guesswork on our part.
Although all but confirmed through social media, the new characters aren't 100% guaranteed to come out during version 2.1, and character reruns are always subject to change, so we'll just have to wait for the livestream to see who's really coming next.
