The Honkai Star Rail banner schedule has been updated once again, so there are a new set of rewards available in the active warp events, and I have the details on what they are along with how much time you've got left to claim them. We can also look ahead to future banners, to predict what the potential prizes could be from forthcoming updates through a combination of leaks and official drip-feed announcements of new content. The most recent banners launched on July 10 for phase 2 of the 2.3 update feature Jade (Erudition: Quantum) and Argenti (Erudition: Physical) as the two 5-star characters, although there are lots more rewards on offer to 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.
