Honkai Star Rail 2.2 Banner leaks

There's no official confirmation on the version 2.2 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 2.2 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 2.2 livestream announcement on X, and their drip marketing has started, it's all but confirmed that Robin and Boothill will be on the 2.2 Banners in Honkai: Star Rail.

Robin is a Physical attacker of The Harmony path, and Boothill is a physical attacker of The Hunt path. Leaks from the current beta also reveal that we're getting the Harmony Trailblazer in 2.2 as well, who is an Imaginary attacker. It's almost certain we'll unlock this path for free while playing through Penacony's story, just like the Preservation path Trailblazer.

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 is likely that Fu Xuan and Topaz will get reruns in 2.2 - 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 2.2, 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.
