The Honkai Impact 3rd banner schedule for Version 9.1 is one of the busiest in a while, which fits, since this is the game's 10th-anniversary patch, running October 22 to December 24. Herrscher of Time, the Dreamseeker's first playable S-rank form, headlines it, and her banner is live right now with a free first 10-pull.
She isn't the only thing on the calendar, though. The same patch brings the Wings of Panacea rerun, a four-character Carnival rotation, new AstralOps, and a round of outfit Supplies, with the final reruns stretching toward late December. Plenty of it overlaps, so it's easier to read the whole timeline at once than to track one banner at a time.
That's what this page is for. You'll find the exact dates for everything live now, the windows for the upcoming reruns and Carnival characters, the early v9.2 and v9.3 leaks, and a short explainer on how HI3's pity and carryover actually work.
Planning around these dates already? A Honkai Impact 3 top up is an easy way to top off Crystals before a banner you care about opens.
Article status: Updated October 29, 2026. The v9.1 dates, Herrscher of Time's free 10-pull, login rewards, and spending bonuses follow the official Global/SEA version preview. The v9.2 material is pre-release Beta data, and the v9.3 Bronya section is still a prediction.

Current Honkai Impact 3rd Banner Schedule
Version 9.1, A New Page in Time, runs on the regional Global and SEA servers from October 22 to December 24, and that full stretch is what the HI3 Supply schedule below covers.
The current HI3 banner is Herrscher of Time, with the first big rerun block landing in Week 2. To keep it honest, the chart separates official dates from estimated regional weeks. A date carried over from the earlier Chinese server is a useful signpost, not a locked Global timestamp.

Schedule takeaway: the patch splits into two halves. Almost everything stacks up before December 4, when Herrscher of Time, the Wings of Panacea rerun, and the Carnival are all open at once. The back half of December runs much quieter, and those later banner slots usually get their own regional notices once the first wave winds down.
Current Featured Character: Herrscher of Time (New v9.1 S-Rank)
Herrscher of Time is the Dreamseeker's first S-rank Battlesuit and the face of the whole anniversary. Her card has the essentials: element and role, signature gear, and exactly when her banner opens and closes.
In short: she's a Fire carry who slots into almost any Astral Ring team, which is why she headlines the 10th anniversary. Her banner runs until December 4, and the first 10-pull is free, so there's no need to rush the decision on day one.
Live AstralOp and Outfit Supplies
The v9.1 AstralOp line rotates through Senadina, Bailu Youyun, Luo Chenxue, and Theresa one at a time. AstralOps are the standalone support units that power Part 2's Astral Ring teams. Of the four, Youyun is the mechanics pick for World Star: once Astral Ring Intensity hits its cap she trims the Stellar Outburst cooldown, and on entry she recycles stored Surplus Intensity back into Intensity.
In practice, that recycling is what keeps a World Star rotation from stalling between bursts. Chenxue and Theresa are more situational, useful mainly if you already run the Astral Ring teams they support. Each AstralOp has its own 60-drop guarantee, tracked separately from the Battlesuit and Equipment counters.
Outfits sit in their own lane. Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent's Vow to Daybreak is the live Outfit Supply right now, with a full 10-drop path at 9,600 Crystals, and a later outfit Supply plus the Memory Lane selector arrive deeper into the patch.
They count toward the v9.1 spending event where noted, but none of them affects combat power, so treat them as purely cosmetic.
Next and Upcoming HI3 Banners and Reruns
Upcoming v9.1 Rerun: Wings of Panacea (Returning S-Rank)
The patch's first rerun is Wings of Panacea, Seele's World Star support Battlesuit. She originally debuted in v8.9, and this is her first time back, so her card covers her kit and the window she's expected in.
In short: she's a flexible support who can lead a World Star team or back up another leader. Her rerun is estimated for late October into November, overlapping the Carnival, so expect her and the festival banners to share the same stretch of the schedule.
Upcoming Carnival Rerun Characters and Supply Dates
After that first rerun, the Carnival is the next big event, expected in regional Weeks 2–4, roughly October 30 to November 20. It opens with free pulls: from October 29 to November 19, logging in gives two 10-pull Carnival Battlesuit Supply Cards, or 20 free pulls across the active rotations. The catch is timing: the cards expire when this v9.1 Carnival ends. They survive a rotation swap inside the event but won't carry into next year's anniversary.
Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent (Raiden Mei)
The Carnival rotates four returning Battlesuits, one per element, so it's easiest to go through them one at a time. First is Mei as Xentinel, the Physical pick, a MECH leader built around chaining Ultimates into her Sentinel Slash.
In short: she's the Carnival's Physical leader, first released in v8.7, and she returns on the shared Carnival rotation during the estimated late-October to late-November window.
Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star (Kiana)
Next is Kiana as Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, the Carnival's Fire pick. She's a festive Fire leader for Heavenly Shift teams, the rapid tag-in style her kit is built around, and she first arrived in v8.1.
In short: she's a second Fire leader on the schedule, but a very different one from Herrscher of Time, built for fast Heavenly Shift swaps rather than staying on field. She rotates in during the same Carnival window as the rest.
Hi♪ Love Elf♥ (Elysia)
The Ice slot goes to Elysia as Hi♪ Love Elf♥, a garden-and-love themed Battlesuit from v8.5. She's an Ice dealer who can plug into more than one Astral Ring structure, which is what makes her a flexible fit on Ice teams.
In short: she's the Carnival's Ice option and its most team-flexible pick, leaning on a steady Ultimate cycle to keep her damage and buffs going. She returns on the same rotation as Mei, Kiana, and Rita.
Miss Espionage (Rita)
Rounding out the four is Rita as Miss Espionage, the Lightning pick and the one CN players most often pair with Herrscher of Time. She's a Wheel of Destiny leader-or-support known for her Replicate playstyle, and she debuted in v8.6.
In short: of the four Carnival returns, Rita ties most directly into the current meta around Herrscher of Time. She rotates in during the same late-October to late-November window as the rest of the festival lineup.
v9.1 Carnival Equipment Supply Rotation
Each Carnival Battlesuit has a matching Equipment Supply that rotates alongside it on its own cards. The featured weapon is guaranteed within 60 drops, and the every-10-drops rule promises at least a 4-star weapon or Stigmata. Worth knowing: the free Carnival cards don't work on equipment, so the weapon side runs as a separate track from the character side.
Remaining v9.1 Battlesuit and Equipment Reruns
After the Week 2–4 block, the schedule thins out. Weeks 5–6 (around November 20 to December 4) pencil in Lunar Vow: Crimson Love's Divine Key, Pact of Companionship, and the Uncrowned Autocrat Stigmata.
The Divine Key is an upgrade for Luna rather than the Battlesuit itself, so it mainly matters to players who already own her. The last stretch, December 4–24, sits past the main anniversary window, and those slots should firm up as the regional notices go out.
Honkai Impact 3rd Banner Leaks: v9.2 and v9.3
Everything above is confirmed; from here on, we're reading tea leaves. The current Honkai Impact 3rd banner leaks come from v9.2's early pre-release data, not a finished Beta, so treat the specifics as provisional. The clearest through-line is a Vita-focused patch: upgraded gear for Lone Planetfarer, a Vita AstralOp, a shield-heavy boss built around that kit, and some shop tweaks. Exact numbers and dates stay open until later Beta builds land.
Future Upgrade Leak: Vita's Lone Planetfarer (v9.2)
With that caveat in place, the headline leak is a quiet one: no new Battlesuit in v9.2. Instead, Lone Planetfarer (Vita's existing suit) is set for a Divine Key-style gear upgrade with a new Combo ATK and Ultimate, leaning on Rite of Oblivion Surplus, stronger shield damage, and smoother QTE access after teammates spend Stellar Drain. If you don't own Vita, that makes v9.2 look more like a saving patch than a must-pull debut.
Sitting next to that upgrade is a separate pull target: Vita's leaked AstralOp. Its early kit groups enemies, builds Rite of Oblivion Astral Ring Intensity faster, trims Ultimate cooldown, improves SP recovery, and feeds Lone Planetfarer's shield-breaking damage. Read it narrowly, though. This v0 version is tuned around Rite of Oblivion specifically, not every Astral Ring.
Other v9.2 Leaks
Beyond the Vita package, the smaller findings are mostly housekeeping: a Fenghuang of Vicissitude outfit, Vita and older outfit reruns, Palatinus Equinox rank-up stamps in the Supply Shop, Sushang in the BP (Battle Pass) Shop, and a BronyaLive event.
The outfit reruns reportedly use 9,600-Crystal pyramids with older S-rank selector boxes. Useful for Crystal planning, but these are shop and cosmetic updates, not extra character banners.
Unconfirmed Prediction: A New Bronya Battlesuit in v9.3
That BronyaLive event is also the thread the v9.3 prediction hangs on. Two clues line up: Bronya model assets surfacing ahead of release, and that event teasing a new form. Players point to v9.3 specifically because it falls on the next big CNY/Global-anniversary window, where HI3 almost always drops a headline S-rank. That's firmer than a wish list, but still not a confirmed banner, element, or kit.
From there the theories branch out: some expect Bronya to tie into Kiana and Mei, some to shore up Rite of Oblivion after Vita's upgrades, and others read an Ice role from early chatter. All of it is still speculation rather than confirmed kit. The safe read is to treat v9.3 as a likely anniversary slot and wait for the v9.2 Beta and the official reveal before taking any of it as settled.
Recent Honkai Impact 3rd Banner History
None of those predictions come from nowhere. They follow a pattern you can see in recent patches. Across 2026, HI3 has alternated full S-rank debuts with equipment-led updates that extend older battlesuits, then stacked reruns, spending events, and free pulls around each new headliner. The table below tracks the releases that matter most to the current roster, skipping the short equipment and outfit rotations.
Read as a trend rather than a rule, that pattern sets two expectations for the banner schedule. New Battlesuits tend to get an early rerun within a few versions, and Divine Key updates can refresh an older Battlesuit without a brand-new card. It also shows why anniversary and CNY patches are the schedule's busiest windows, which is exactly where v9.1 sits.
How Honkai Impact 3rd Banners Work
Why HI3 Calls Its Banners “Supplies”
If some terms above felt unfamiliar, here's the groundwork. A character banner is a Battlesuit Supply, while its matching weapon and Stigmata sit on the Equipment Supply. AstralOps, outfits, rank-up events, Dorm, Carnival, and Ascension each follow their own rules. “Pity,” meanwhile, is just community shorthand. The game guarantees a specific item within a stated number of drops.
Supply-rule takeaway: the column that matters most is carryover. Standard Battlesuit and Equipment pity follows you to the next compatible banner, while Carnival, Ascension, and other event-only counters reset when the event ends. That is why the Carnival's place on the schedule matters more than a normal banner's.
Key v9.1 Dates to Mark
If you just want the schedule in one place, here it is. These are the windows that shape the v9.1 banner calendar, from the live banners to the free-pull login and the version's end date.
Alongside the banners, v9.1 runs the usual anniversary extras. The login event above hands out the free Carnival cards, a spending event gives Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star's Sung by the Moon and Stars outfit at its milestone, and the event shop pays out Carnival Annulons for rank-up stamps, AstralOps, and Memory Lane cards. These are version content on fixed dates, separate from the gacha itself.
Final Thoughts
That's the full v9.1 picture. The Herrscher of Time banner anchors the patch through December 4, with the Wings of Panacea rerun and the four Carnival returns filling the busy stretch from late October into November, and the quieter Divine Key reruns closing out December.
Looking further out, the v9.2 leaks point to a Vita-focused upgrade patch rather than a new Battlesuit, and the v9.3 Bronya banner is still a prediction tied to the next anniversary window. We'll keep this banner schedule updated as each regional notice and Beta build confirms the dates.
FAQ
What Is the Current Honkai Impact 3rd Banner?
Herrscher of Time is the featured S-rank Battlesuit in v9.1. Her Supply opened with the October 22 regional update and runs until December 4 at 12:00 server time. The first 10-pull is free, and her matching Equipment Supply features the Key of Mirroring drive core and the Let Time Be Your Name Stigmata set.
When Does the Next HI3 Banner Start?
The next major regional block is expected around October 30, when Wings of Panacea and the Carnival rotations enter the Week 2 schedule. The official Carnival login reward runs October 29 through November 19. Exact Supply opening hours show up in the regional in-game announcement as each rotation goes live.
Are HI3 Supply Dates the Same on CN, Global, and SEA?
No. CN gets content first; Global and SEA follow later and can shift short reruns or event timing. The headline debut and major equipment usually stay recognizable, but a CN date should be read as an estimated regional week, not copied straight onto a Global schedule.
Do Carnival Supply Cards Expire?
Yes. The two free 10-pull Carnival Battlesuit Supply Cards stay valid while the featured Carnival pair rotates inside v9.1, but they expire once this Carnival event ends. They can't be saved for next year's anniversary Carnival, so spend them on the v9.1 target that best fits your roster.
Does Honkai Impact 3rd Pity Carry Over?
Normal Battlesuit and compatible Equipment Supply counters carry within their own systems. Carnival, Ascension, and Armament Ascension use event-specific guarantees that don't roll into a future event. AstralOp and Dorm counters sit apart from character and weapon Supplies. Whatever the active Supply shows is the counter that matters.
Which Characters Are in the v9.1 Carnival?
The v9.1 Carnival rotates four returning Battlesuits: Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent (Raiden Mei), Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star (Kiana), Hi♪ Love Elf♥ (Elysia), and Miss Espionage (Rita). They cover Physical, Fire, Ice, and Lightning and rotate during the estimated late-October to late-November window. The anniversary login also hands out two free 10-pull Carnival cards.
Is the Wings of Panacea Rerun Part of v9.1?
Yes. Wings of Panacea, Seele's World Star Battlesuit from v8.9, is the patch's first rerun and runs on a standard Battlesuit and Equipment Supply. The current estimate puts it in the late-October to November stretch alongside the Carnival, with the exact opening time confirmed in each region's in-game notice.
Will v9.2 Have a New Battlesuit?
Early v9.2 data points to a Vita equipment/DLC patch rather than a brand-new Battlesuit. The leaked package centers on Lone Planetfarer upgrades, a Vita AstralOp, and a shield-focused boss. That direction looks credible at the v0 stage, but the public Beta and livestream still have to lock in the final Supply lineup.
Is the v9.3 Bronya Banner Confirmed?
No. Bronya model assets and the leaked BronyaLive event support the prediction, and v9.3 fits the expected CNY/Global-anniversary headliner slot. Her element, Astral Ring role, partners, and release date are all unofficial. Treat her as a reason to hold a reserve, not a finished pull plan.
