Current Honkai Star Rail Banners
Currently, players can try their luck on “The Iron Tamer of Tides” and “Contract Zero” banners, which feature the five-star characters Cerydra (Wind, Harmony) and Silver Wolf (Quantum, Nihility), respectively.
These active banners also boost the drop rates for three valuable four-star characters: Sampo (Wind, Nihility), Qingque (Quantum, Erudition), and Dan Heng (Wind, Hunt).
The associated HSR weapon banners offer Epoch Etched in Golden Blood (Harmony), Cerydra’s signature Light Cone, and Incessant Rain (Nihility), Silver Wolf’s signature Light Cone.

A special treat for fans: Saber (Wind, Destruction) and Archer (Quantum, Hunt) have arrived on the “Excalibur Excelsior” and “I Am the Bone of My Sword” banners as part of the thrilling Fate Stay Night x Honkai Star Rail collaboration!
Their exclusive five-star Light Cones, A Thankless Coronation (Destruction) and The Hell Where Ideals Burn (Hunt), are available on the “Birth of a King” and “Red Radiance of Fuyuki” weapon banners.
The standard Honkai Star Rail banners featuring Cerydra and Silver Wolf will conclude on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. The Fate Stay Night x Honkai Star Rail collaboration banners launched on Friday, July 11, 2025, and will be available indefinitely.
The Permanent Stellar Warp: Honkai Star Rail Standard Banner
Beyond the rotating event banners, the “Stellar Warp” serves as Honkai Star Rail’s permanent standard banner. This allows you to continuously pull from a consistent pool of characters and Light Cones.
The Stellar Warp includes these fantastic five-star characters:
- Bailu (Lightning, Abundance)
- Bronya (Wind, Harmony)
- Clara (Physical, Destruction)
- Gepard (Ice, Preservation)
- Himeko (Fire, Erudition)
- Welt (Imaginary, Nihility)
- Yanqing (Ice, Hunt)
A key difference from event banners is that the standard banner only requires regular Star Rail Passes, which are more readily available than their special counterparts. While you won’t find limited-time characters like Seele or Imbibitor Lunae here, the Stellar Warp still offers a chance to acquire powerful and sought-after five-star characters.
