Honkai: Star Rail Banners are what you can spend your Star Pass currency on to Warp for characters and Light Cone weapons.

Every character event Banner runs for three weeks, making way for the next Banner. These event Banners have a single 5-Star character with boosted pull odds, and three boosted 4-Stars.

There are also Light Cone weapon Banners that change their featured 5-Star and 4-Star pulls every three weeks as well, and two permanent Banners available with their own unique character and Light Cone pools.

We’ve detailed what the next and current Banners are in Honkai: Star Rail below, along with a list of all Banners that have ran in the game since its 1.0 launch.

Honaki Star Rail next Banner event characters

For these temporary event character Banners, you have to use Special Star Passes to Warp on them, and this Banner usually changes every three weeks.

As their drip marketing has started, it's all but confirmed that Robin and Boothill will be on the next Banners in Honkai: Star Rail during version 2.2. 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.

Honkai Star Rail next Light Cones Banners

Remember, anybody can benefit from another characters signature Light Cone as long as they're on the same Path.

Brilliant Fixation and Bygone Reminiscence are permanent weapon Banners with boosted 5-Star and 4-Star weapons that change their weapon pools every three weeks, at the same time new event character Banners are added. Just like these character Banners, you must use Special Warp Passes to Warp on Brilliant Fixation and Bygone Reminiscence.

Although there isn't any official information available right now, as Robin and Gallagher are coming in version 2.2, we're almost certainly getting a new 5-Star Harmony Light Cone, and a new 5-Star Hunt Light Cone in the next Light Cone Banners in Honkai: Star Rail, as these are Robin and Boothill's paths.

We'll update this page when we know more details on what they are, along with the rerun Light Cones, and what the 4-Stars are.

Honkai Star Rail Departure Warp Banner

You can spend your regular Star Passes on the permanent Departure Warp Banner. However, if you've Warped 50 times on it, Departure Warp will no longer be available.
