The newest update to the Honkai Star Rail banner schedule reveals some handy details, including the rewards that are currently accessed through the warp events and how long they're available for, as well as looking to the future and suggesting what possible prizes could be unlocked with later updates, based on leaks and drip-fed information already out there. The most recent banners were launched on April 17, featuring Aventurine (Preservation: Imaginary) and Jingliu (Destruction: Ice) as the two 5-star characters, though there are lots more rewards that can be claimed.
These banner or warp events make up the gacha element of Honkai Star Rail, where players have the opportunity to win additional Light Cones and new characters to add to their team, on top of collecting handy consumables and materials. By spending warps – or 'pulls' as they're often referred to – a random reward is granted from a predetermined set of prizes, and while certain results are guaranteed after a specified amount of warps have been used, the results are generally based on luck.
If you use up all of the passes you currently have available for warps then you can exchange Stellar Jade and other items to receive additional passes, so it's worth looking out for fresh Honkai Star Rail codes and claiming any that are currently active to increase your supplies. To find out what's happening now and next, here's the lowdown on the banner schedule in Honkai Star Rail.
