The Honkai Star Rail banner schedule tells us not only what warp event are currently in progress, but also provides a glimpse into the future to see what will be coming next. When people talk about the gacha aspect of Honkai Star Rail it's these banner or warp events that they're referring to, as players access them by exchanging passes for warps or 'pulls' that have a random chance to reveal fresh characters and Light Cones to update your squad with, along with various other materials and consumables. After your initial allocation of passes for warps has been used up, it's possible to exchange Stellar Jade and other items to get more, so keep on top of the Honkai Star Rail codes and redeem any that are currently valid to fill out your inventory. If you want to know what's happening now and next, then here's a breakdown of the banner schedule in Honkai Star Rail.
