Honkai Star Rail 2.4 banners

The first phase of the 2.4 banner update is expected to run from Wednesday, July 31, 2024. Each event banner also includes increased drop rates for a selection of four-star characters, which will be revealed following the 2.4 livestream. Meanwhile, the Brilliant Fixation and Bygone Reminiscence light cone banners will feature the signature light cones for the above five-star characters.
The next Honkai Star Rail banners
The next Honkai Star Rail banner will likely feature the five-star character Yunli (Physical, Destruction) on her debut banner. Rumors suggest she will be accompanied by Huohuo (Wind, Abundance) on her Bloom in Gloom rerun banner.
These banners comprise the first phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.4 and are scheduled to run from Tuesday, July 30, 2024 to Tuesday, August 20, 2024.
Current Honkai Star Rail event banners
The current Honkai Star Rail banner is Lien on Life, Lease on Fate featuring the five-star character Jade (Quantum, Erudition). It’s accompanied by the Thorns of Scented Crown rerun banner, which features the five-star character Argenti (Physical, Erudition).
These banners comprise the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.3 and are scheduled to run from Wednesday, July 10 to Tuesday, July 30, 2024. Both banners include increased drop rates for four-star characters Serval (Lightning, Erudition), Natasha (Physical, Abundance), and Asta (Fire, Harmony).
Honkai Star Rail weapon banners
The current Honkai Star Rail weapon banner features Yet Hope Is Priceless (Erudition), Jade’s signature five-star light cone. The Bygone Reminiscence rerun weapon banner features Argenti’s five-star light cone, An Instant Before A Gaze (Erudition).
Both weapon banners run until Tuesday, July 30, 2024. These light cone banners also include increased drop rates for three additional four-star light cones: Shared Feeling (Abundance), Trend of the Universal Market (Preservation), and After the Charmony Fall (Erudition).
Honkai Star Rail standard banner
The Honkai Star Rail standard banner is called ‘Stellar Warp’, and is a permanent fixture that offers the chance to pull from the standard pool of characters and light cones.
The standard banner includes the following five-star characters:
- Bailu (Lightning, Abundance)
- Bronya (Wind, Harmony)
- Clara (Physical, Destruction)
- Gepard (Ice, Preservation)
- Himeko (Fire, Erudition)
- Welt (Imaginary, Nihility)
- Yanqing (Ice, Hunt)
Unlike the event banner, the Honkai Star Rail standard banner only requires regular Star Rail passes, which are far more common than their special counterparts. While you can’t pull limited characters like Seele or Imbibitor Lunae from this banner, there are still a variety of highly coveted five-star characters that you’re in with a chance to win – be sure to check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list to discover the best of the bunch.
