The Honkai Star Rail banner schedule contains various snippets of handy information, as it reveals which warp events are currently running and lists the available rewards that can be claimed, while also letting players look to the future with suggestions of what the future banners may bring based on official teasers and information that has been leaked. There's plenty of detail to soak up, so I've summarized all of it here to give you a concise overview. The latest releases went live on November 13 following the launch of the 2.6 update phase 2, featuring Acheron (Nihility: Lightning) and Aventurine (Preservation: Imaginary) as the two 5-star characters available, though as always there are lots of other rewards 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.
