Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 Banners: Aeon Aha Release, Leaks & Reruns

Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.7 is expected to launch in November 2026. HoYoverse has now revealed Aeon☆Aha, a new 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Elation who previously appeared in the Planarcadia storyline under the identity of Nihilux.

Aeon☆Aha's official name, rarity, element, Path, and playable design are confirmed, but the Phase 1 and Phase 2 banner schedule has not been announced. Her full kit, Kuchiba's playable status, and the rerun lineup also remain uncertain.

This guide separates official information from kit leaks and early rumors while covering the Version 4.7 banners, Aeon☆Aha's abilities, Elation team options, and pull recommendations. It will be updated as beta and official information becomes available.

HSR 4.7 Banner: Confirmed and Unconfirmed Information

Aeon☆Aha has been officially revealed and is no longer merely a candidate found in early development data. However, Version 4.7 has not entered formal beta testing, so ability values, a possible second new character, reruns, and banner order may still change.

What is confirmed is that Aeon☆Aha has been revealed as a 5-star Quantum Elation character. Her banner phase, full kit, Kuchiba's status, the rerun lineup, and banner order are not officially confirmed and should not be treated as a firm basis for pull planning.

Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 Release Date

Based on the current update schedule, Version 4.7 is expected to launch on November 10 or 11, 2026. This estimate uses the shortened Version 4.5 schedule followed by a six-week Version 4.6 cycle and has not been officially confirmed.

Because Version 4.5 was shortened by nine days, later scheduling may still change. The Special Program and in-game notices will provide the final release date, phase duration, and Warp names.

HSR 4.7 Banner Overview

HoYoverse has revealed Aeon☆Aha as a new 5-star character. The timing of her reveal points to a Version 4.7 release, but her banner phase and the rerun lineup remain unannounced. Kuchiba has appeared only in early development data and may have been delayed or removed from the release schedule.

Who Is Aeon Aha in Honkai: Star Rail?

Aeon☆Aha is the same figure who previously appeared in the Planarcadia storyline under the name Nihilux. She has appeared in two distinct designs: Nihilux's story model and the new design officially revealed for her playable version.

Early NPC Appearance

She first appeared as the NPC Nihilux, with long silver-white hair, a black military-style cap, glasses, and a long white coat. The overall design gives her the appearance of a researcher or administrator.

Nihilux's original NPC appearance in the Planarcadia storyline.

This model has already appeared in the main story. Later chapters revealed Nihilux's true connection to Aha, the Aeon of Elation. However, Aeon☆Aha has not yet entered a Character Event Warp, so players cannot currently obtain or build her.

Aeon Aha’s Official Playable Design

Earlier leaked images showed a noticeably different design, which the official character reveal has now confirmed as her playable appearance. Aeon☆Aha no longer wears glasses, gains an ornate headpiece, and uses a more striking black, white, and red color palette.

Aeon☆Aha's new design, now confirmed by the official character reveal.

The new design incorporates playing cards, bows, and theatrical motifs. Open book pages and several miniature incarnations also appear in the artwork, making the overall presentation far more elaborate than her NPC model.

These changes clearly distinguish Aeon☆Aha's playable form from the earlier Nihilux NPC model. Her splash art is now public, but her in-game model, ability animations, and banner phase still await an official showcase.

Aeon Aha Rarity, Element and Path

The official character reveal confirms Aeon☆Aha as a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Elation. Her combat role and special resources still come from early development data and may change before formal beta testing and the official kit showcase.

Aeon☆Aha is voiced by Ziyin in Chinese, Haruka Tomatsu in Japanese, Amber Lee Connors in English, and Kwon Da-ye in Korean. These voice credits and her basic character information come from the official reveal.

Early leaks described Aeon☆Aha as an Elation main DPS, while newer kit data includes Speed manipulation, damage buffs, and special Elation Skill triggers, suggesting a substantial support component.

Aeon☆Aha may therefore function as an Elation core who combines personal damage with teamwide enhancement rather than a conventional on-field carry. Her final role will depend on official multipliers and beta changes.

Aeon Aha Leaked Kit

Aeon☆Aha's abilities come from early Version 4.7 development data, with several multipliers still shown as placeholders. The core mechanics can be examined, but her final damage and complete rotation cannot yet be determined.

The leaked text uses both “Aeon☆Aha” and the combat terms “Aha” or “Aha Instant.” The first refers to the playable character, while the latter two refer to special Elation combat mechanics, not a separate character.

Translations for several mechanics vary between sources. For now, the three core resources can be understood as follows:

• Wish Points: Aeon☆Aha's personal resource, accumulated through attacks and Additional ATKs. Reaching the required amount enhances her Ultimate.
• Emanator: Her Skill designates one ally for enhancement. The target builds stacks by taking actions and triggers Aeon☆Aha's Additional ATKs.
• Certified Banger: Records part of the team's damage during Aha Instant, then converts it into additional True damage through Aeon☆Aha's Elation Skill.

Some early material called the special action phase she controls “Nihilux Instant,” while later text also uses the corresponding name “Aeon☆Aha Instant.” The final term and its exact relationship with Aha Instant are not fixed and may change before release.

This kit is not built around a single burst window. Its focus is increasing Aha's action frequency, empowering one Elation damage dealer, and converting part of the team's damage into an additional True damage instance.

How Aeon Aha Fits Elation Teams

Aeon☆Aha appears suited to dual-DPS Elation teams. Her Skill enhances the primary damage dealer, accelerates Aha's actions, and converts the team's damage during Aha Instant into additional output.

Sparxie Team: Sparxie, Aeon Aha, Yaoguang and Pearl

Aeon☆Aha should prioritize Sparxie with her Skill. Sparxie's frequent actions can build Emanator stacks and repeatedly trigger Aeon☆Aha's Additional ATKs and AoE Elation vulnerability.

Yaoguang supplies Punchline Points and teamwide Elation buffs, while Pearl fills the sustain slot. All four characters follow the Path of Elation, allowing the team to use the related mechanics in full.

Sparxie	Aeon☆Aha	Yaoguang	Pearl
Main DPS Takes frequent actions and deals Elation damage	Core Support Buffs the main DPS and drives Aha's actions	Buffer Provides Punchline Points and teamwide Elation buffs	Sustain Keeps the team alive and its rotation stable

Silver Wolf LV.999 Team: Silver Wolf LV.999, Aeon Aha, Yaoguang and Pearl

Silver Wolf LV.999 serves as the primary damage dealer in this team. Aeon☆Aha increases her Elation damage through her Skill and uses Silver Wolf's attacks to record more damage during Aha Instant.

Aeon☆Aha also contributes Quantum damage and True damage conversion, improving Silver Wolf LV.999's performance against multiple targets. Yaoguang and Pearl continue to provide buffs and sustain.

Silver Wolf LV.999	Aeon☆Aha	Yaoguang	Pearl
Main DPS Deals most of the team's Elation damage	Core Support Buffs the main DPS and adds AoE damage	Buffer Provides Punchline Points and teamwide Elation buffs	Sustain Keeps the team alive and its rotation stable

Alternative Team: Silver Wolf LV.999, Aeon Aha, Elation Trailblazer and Pearl

Without Yaoguang, the Elation Trailblazer can supply additional Punchline Points and Elation Skill triggers. Aeon☆Aha still uses her Skill on Silver Wolf LV.999 to keep the team's damage concentrated on its main carry.

This lineup retains four Elation characters, although its support ceiling may be lower than the Yaoguang version. Its main advantage is removing the need for one limited support.

Team Without Pearl: Sparxie, Aeon Aha, Yaoguang and Aventurine

If Pearl is unavailable, Aventurine can temporarily provide shields and sustain. Sparxie, Aeon☆Aha, and Yaoguang can still maintain the team's main Punchline Point, damage-buffing, and Aha action cycles.

This team may fail to activate effects that require four Elation characters, making it more suitable as a temporary option than a final Version 4.7 lineup.

All teams above are inferred from the currently leaked kit. Practical testing is still needed to determine which ally Aeon☆Aha should buff, whether she requires a four-Elation lineup, and whether Pearl can reliably sustain the team alone.

Will Kuchiba Be Playable in HSR 4.7?

Kuchiba has already appeared in the Planarcadia storyline as an officer in the Anomaly Defense Department. She remains an NPC, and HoYoverse has not announced her rarity, Path, or any plans to make her playable.

Appearance	Category	Current Information
Kuchiba's current story appearance	English Name	Kuchiba
	Current Status	Story NPC
	Affiliation	Anomaly Defense Department
	Rarity	Unconfirmed
	Element and Path	Fire · Elation, from early development data
	Potential Role	Healing, buffs, and additional damage
	Version 4.7 Banner Link	No reliable evidence
	Current Reliability	Low

Leaked abilities suggest Kuchiba's Skill may increase the entire team's CRIT Rate and provide Punchline Points, while her Ultimate applies an upgradeable “Flower” mark to enemies.

When allies attack an enemy marked with Flower, they can restore HP and accumulate damage. Once the mark reaches the required level, it detonates to damage the enemy and heal the entire team.

However, this kit lacks a complete Elation Skill, and several values remain placeholders. The leak source also stressed that the data was preserved only as a development record and that work on the character may have stopped.

No information confirms when or whether Kuchiba will become playable. Aeon☆Aha is currently the only character officially revealed, and a second new Version 4.7 character has not been confirmed. Kuchiba should therefore not be treated as a confirmed banner character.

Possible 4.7 Reruns

No credible source has revealed the Version 4.7 rerun lineup. The characters below are speculative candidates based only on Warp intervals and team synergy, not confirmed banner leaks.

Silver Wolf LV.999 and Evanescia both debuted in Version 4.2, while Mortenax Blade first entered the banner rotation in Version 4.3. These candidates are based solely on past rotation patterns.

Yaoguang already reran in Version 4.3, and Sparxie returned in Version 4.4, making another Version 4.7 rerun for either character comparatively less likely.

Players should not plan their Stellar Jade around rerun speculation before the official Special Program. The characters, banner phases, and featured 4-stars may still differ.

Why 4.7 Matters for Elation Teams

Version 4.7 may matter for more than its new character. If Aeon☆Aha retains her currently leaked design, Elation teams will gain another support option and become less dependent on one fixed lineup.

Aeon☆Aha's leaked kit centers on Elation damage and team buffs. If the main mechanics remain intact, her value will come from strengthening the wider archetype rather than personal damage alone.

Version 4.7 could therefore mark a shift from fixed Elation compositions toward multi-core teams. The actual improvement will still depend on Aeon☆Aha's official values and beta adjustments.

Should You Pull Aeon Aha?

Based on current leaks, Aeon☆Aha looks more like a core support for Elation teams than a universal must-pull for every account. Your decision should depend on your existing roster and long-term investment plans.

If you already own Sparxie, Silver Wolf LV.999, or Evanescia and plan to invest in Elation teams long term, Aeon☆Aha is worth prioritizing. She may add another source of team buffs and reduce dependence on a single support.

If you lack an Elation main DPS, have limited Stellar Jade, or already have two complete teams, waiting may be the better choice. Pulling an archetype-specific support on her own may offer limited short-term value.

Aeon☆Aha's abilities and values may still change during testing. Wait for the official Special Program and practical testing before making a final decision, especially if you need to assess her buff strength, team flexibility, and Eidolon value.

Stellar Jade Planning

Before Version 4.7 launches, check your Character Event Warp pity, guarantee status, Light Cone pity, and existing Star Rail Special Passes. Character and Light Cone pity are calculated separately, but records carry over between banners of the same type.

Each pull costs 160 Stellar Jade. Starting from zero pity without a guarantee, securing Aeon☆Aha may require up to 180 pulls, or 28,800 Stellar Jade. With a guarantee, the maximum is 14,400 Stellar Jade.

If you also plan to obtain her signature Light Cone, the worst case requires another 160 pulls, or 25,600 Stellar Jade. The maximum theoretical budget for Aeon☆Aha E0S1 is 340 pulls, or 54,400 Stellar Jade.

With a limited budget, secure E0 first and wait for official values before deciding on her signature Light Cone or Eidolons. If you also want a Version 4.7 rerun character, reserve up to another 180 Character Event Warp pulls.

Since the rerun lineup is unconfirmed, avoid converting all resources into Special Passes too early. Daily Training, version events, and recurring endgame modes can add more Stellar Jade before the banners open.

FAQ

Is Aeon Aha the Same Character as Nihilux?

Yes. Nihilux was the identity she previously used in the Planarcadia storyline, while her playable version is officially named Aeon☆Aha. They are not separate characters that need to be pulled individually.

Is Aeon Aha Officially Playable?

HoYoverse has released Aeon☆Aha's character reveal and confirmed that she is a 5-star Quantum Elation character. However, she has not yet entered a Character Event Warp and cannot currently be obtained in-game.

Will Aeon Aha Be Released in Version 4.7?

Based on the timing of her character reveal, Aeon☆Aha is expected to be a new Version 4.7 character. Her exact release date and whether she appears in Phase 1 or Phase 2 still require confirmation from the Version 4.7 Special Program and Warp announcements.

What Are Aeon Aha’s Element and Path?

Aeon☆Aha is confirmed as a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Elation. Her complete combat role, ability multipliers, and signature Light Cone have not been officially revealed.

Is Aeon Aha the First Playable Aeon?

Based on the official name “Aeon☆Aha,” she will be the first Honkai: Star Rail character announced as a playable Aeon. How the story ultimately distinguishes this form from the Aeon's full existence should be clarified in later character lore.

Is Kuchiba Coming in Honkai: Star Rail 4.7?

No official announcement confirms Kuchiba for Version 4.7. She remains a story NPC, and her rumored Fire element, Elation Path, and healing mechanics all come from early development data rather than final character information.

Who Will Rerun in HSR 4.7?

The Version 4.7 rerun characters have not been announced. Silver Wolf LV.999, Evanescia, and Mortenax Blade are only candidates based on Warp intervals and team synergy, not a confirmed banner lineup.
