Current HSR Banner: Pearl and Mortenax Blade (Version 4.6 Phase 2)
Pearl and Mortenax Blade's banners are live now in Phase 2 of Version 4.6, until November 10, 2026, at 15:00 server time. Pearl's banner has run for the whole version, while Mortenax Blade's rerun took Evanescia's slot on October 21. Qingque, Xueyi, and Misha are the featured 4-stars on both banners.
| Warp | Warp Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Light Cone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 An Ocean in a Pearl | Sep 28 to Nov 10, 15:00 | Pearl |  Qingque  Xueyi  Misha | Colors for Tomorrow |
 Now I Am Become Blade | Oct 21, 12:00 to Nov 10, 15:00 | Mortenax Blade | Qingque Xueyi Misha | Reforged in Hellfire |
  Brilliant Fixation & Bygone Reminiscence | Until Nov 10, 15:00 | Colors for Tomorrow Reforged in Hellfire | Post-Op Conversation Planetary Rendezvous Boundless Choreo | 75% chance the 5★ is featured |
Pearl is a defensive Elation character. She blocks damage for the whole team, heals, and removes debuffs, and her Ultimate can pull a teammate's turn forward. Pull for her if you're building an Elation team or still need a limited sustain unit.
Mortenax Blade is a Fire Nihility damage dealer. He opens a special Zone that powers up his abilities, and his Talent builds Charge every time an ally attacks, so he does best in teams that attack often. Our HSR 4.3 banners guide covers his first release.
Not sure about either of them? Your pity and guarantee carry over to the next Character Event Warp, so skipping costs you nothing.
Next HSR Banner: Aeon ★ Aha (Version 4.7)
Version 4.7, "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars," launches on November 11, 2026. Aeon ★ Aha is a new 5-star Quantum Elation character and the first playable Aeon. THEIR A Comedy of Stars Warp, together with THEIR signature Light Cone, runs for the entire 4.7 version (exact ending time to be confirmed), while returning five-stars rotate between the two phases.
| Warp | Warp Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Light Cone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 A Comedy of Stars 4.7 whole version · NEW | Nov 11 to Dec 22 End projected | Aeon ★ Aha Quantum · Elation | Asta Lynx Yukong Pre-release listing | Upon the First Echo of "Aha" |
   Phase 1 Reruns | Nov 11 to Dec 2 Swap projected | Silver Wolf LV.999 Sparxie Yao Guang | Asta Lynx Yukong Pre-release listing | Welcome to the Cosmic City Dazzled by a Flowery World When She Decided to See |
   Phase 2 Reruns Version 4.7 | Dec 2 to Dec 22 Dates projected | Acheron Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae Jing Yuan | Asta Lynx Yukong Pre-release listing | Along the Passing Shore Brighter Than the Sun Before Dawn |
Pre-release listings currently show Asta, Lynx and Yukong as the featured 4-stars and Trend of the Universal Market, Geniuses' Repose and Shadowed by Night as the 4-star Light Cone rate-ups. Check the final Event Warp notice for confirmation. Aha's banner does not disappear when the Phase 2 reruns begin on December 2. Their original story identity, Nihilux, is not the Warp banner name.
When Does the Next HSR Banner Come Out?
HSR Version 4.7 officially launches on November 11. Version 4.6 ends on November 10 in America and November 11 in Asia as maintenance begins. The following regional maintenance and launch times are estimated from the usual global update window; check the in-game notice for the final schedule. Phase 2 reruns begin at 12:00 server time on December 2.
| Server | Maintenance Starts (est.) | 4.7 Opens (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| America UTC-5 | Nov 10, 17:00 | Nov 10, around 22:00 |
| Europe UTC+1 | Nov 10, 23:00 | Nov 11, around 04:00 |
| Asia / TW / HK / MO UTC+8 | Nov 11, 06:00 | Nov 11, around 11:00 |
The version update is simultaneous globally, so North American players will usually see the patch on the previous evening. Unlike maintenance, mid-version Warp changes follow each server's own clock.
4.7 Reruns and Featured 4-Stars
Phase 1 (Nov 11 to Dec 2): Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang return alongside Aeon ★ Aha. This phase is especially appealing if you want to build or upgrade an Elation roster.
Phase 2 (Dec 2 to Dec 22): Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan return. These three are also the first characters to receive the new Affinitive Eidolon enhancements. Version 4.7 offers a free choice of one of these limited five-stars and a separate Affinitive Eidolon selection, so check the free rewards before spending your pulls.
Expected shared 4-star rate-ups: Asta, Lynx and Yukong, pending the final Event Warp notice. The 4.7 five-star Light Cone line-up is shown below.
Upcoming HSR Banners: Ellen and Astra Yao (Version 4.8)
Looking further ahead, Version 4.8 will feature the Honkai: Star Rail × Zenless Zone Zero crossover with Ellen Joe and Astra Yao. The update is expected around December 23, 2026, although its exact release date and Warp order remain unannounced. Ellen has been introduced as a 5-star Ice / Destruction character in HSR; Astra Yao's reported Quantum / Harmony details still require confirmation.
| Warp | Warp Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Light Cone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ellen Joe Version 4.8 · HSR × ZZZ | Late Dec estimated | Ellen Joe 5★ Ice · Destruction | TBA | Not announced |
 Astra Yao Version 4.8 · HSR × ZZZ | Late Dec estimated | Astra Yao Quantum · Harmony rumored | TBA | Not announced |
Early leaks have disagreed over whether Ellen or Astra Yao might be offered for free. Neither free-character claim, nor their Phase 1 / Phase 2 placement, is confirmed. Keep both possibilities in mind, but do not spend Stellar Jade on the assumption that either character will be given away. See our Astra Yao preview and HSR 4.8 banners guide for more on the collab.
HSR Upcoming Light Cone Banners
The HSR 4.7 Light Cone banners are now announced. Aeon ★ Aha's signature, Upon the First Echo of "Aha", stays available throughout the version, while three rerun signature Light Cones rotate in each phase. The Light Cone Event Warp guarantees a 5-star within 80 Warps, with a 75% initial chance of receiving the featured one.
| 5★ Light Cone | Character / Phase | Pull Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Colors for Tomorrow | Pearl · Current 4.6 | Only worth prioritizing after getting Pearl, especially if your Elation teams need extra sustain. |
| Reforged in Hellfire | Mortenax Blade · Current 4.6 | Strong upgrade if you already use him as a core damage dealer. |
| Upon the First Echo of "Aha" | Aeon ★ Aha · 4.7 full version | Signature option for Aha; evaluate its value after securing the character. |
| Welcome to the Cosmic City | Silver Wolf LV.999 · 4.7 Phase 1 | Best considered for dedicated Silver Wolf LV.999 teams. |
| Dazzled by a Flowery World | Sparxie · 4.7 Phase 1 | Dedicated Sparxie option. |
| When She Decided to See | Yao Guang · 4.7 Phase 1 | Dedicated Yao Guang option. |
| Along the Passing Shore | Acheron · 4.7 Phase 2 | Acheron signature; useful if she is your main damage dealer. |
| Brighter Than the Sun | Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae · 4.7 Phase 2 | Consider only after securing the character or making use of your free selector. |
| Before Dawn | Jing Yuan · 4.7 Phase 2 | Optional upgrade for invested Jing Yuan teams. |
Pre-release listings name Trend of the Universal Market, Geniuses' Repose and Shadowed by Night as the 4-star Light Cone rate-ups; confirm against the final Warp notice.
Version 4.7 also introduces the free 4-star Elation Light Cone See You at the World's End! through its Trailblaze Mission. For most accounts, secure your desired character first and decide on the signature Light Cone afterward.

Phantasia Showstage and Myriad Symphony end on December 23 at 03:59 (UTC+8); exact dates for other events should be checked in-game. Check our HSR redeem codes guide for currently redeemable codes. Event schedules may differ by server, and unannounced dates are intentionally omitted from the calendar.
Which HSR Banner to Pull in November
Your best banner depends on your current team, not just which character is newest. With Aeon ★ Aha lasting through all of 4.7 and the free Acheron / Imbibitor Lunae / Jing Yuan choice, you have room to plan rather than rush on launch day.
| Your Account | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Need a sustain unit | Pearl (before Nov 10) | An Elation-friendly option with shielding, healing and cleansing. |
| Already invested in Elation teams | Aeon ★ Aha (Nov 11–Dec 22) | Offers Wishpower and Elation Skill synergy across the roster. |
| Own Sparxie / Silver Wolf LV.999 / Yao Guang | 4.7 Phase 1 | Fill missing Elation team pieces, but avoid pulling all three just for collection. |
| Want Acheron / Imbibitor Lunae / Jing Yuan | Check free 5★ selector first | Version 4.7 lets you select one for free, and a separate Affinitive Eidolon. |
| Use Mortenax Blade as core DPS | Mortenax Blade (before Nov 10) | A relevant rerun if you want to invest further in his Fire Nihility teams. |
| Saving for Ellen or Astra Yao | Save for 4.8 | The crossover is announced, but banners and free-character rumors are not settled. |

How Many Warps You Need for the Next HSR Banner
Each Warp costs 160 Stellar Jade or one Star Rail Special Pass. The Character Event Warp guarantees a 5-star within 90 Warps; the featured character is subject to the banner’s rate-up and guarantee rules. Character and Light Cone Warps keep separate pity, and both carry over between banners of the same type. Most players get a 5-star before hard pity, but if you can't risk losing, plan for the worst case:
| Your Goal | Worst Case | Stellar Jade |
|---|---|---|
| 5-star with guarantee | 90 Warps | 14,400 |
| 5-star from 0 pity | 180 Warps | 28,800 |
| Signature Light Cone | 160 Warps | 25,600 |
| Aeon ★ Aha E0S1 | 340 Warps | 54,400 |
Oneiric Shards convert to Stellar Jade one-to-one. Version 4.7 offers 20 Star Rail Special Passes through its login event, plus a free limited 5-star choice among Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan. These rewards do not guarantee Aeon ★ Aha. Check current codes in our HSR redeem codes. Still 20 or 30 Warps short? Top up Oneiric Shards on GamsGo before the banner starts.
