Next and current banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Mortenax Blade from Honkai Star Rail.

Just like our beloved Trailblazer's bizarre personality, the banners in Honkai: Star Rail are constantly changing, so it's a good idea to keep track of what the current banners and next banners are. Here's everything we know about the current version 4.3 banners and the next version 4.4 banners in Honkai: Star Rail. We've also got a list of the banner history detailed at the end of the page.

Next banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Phainon

Cyrene

Phainon and Cyrene are the next banners in Honkai: Star Rail, running in Phase 2 of version 4.3 (June 24 - July 14). Chrysos Heirs who go through hell a billion times like to stick close, it seems.

All of the boosted four-star characters on Phainon and Cyrene's next banners are:

• March 7th (Ice, Preservation)
• Arlan (Lightning, Destruction)
• Yukong (Imaginary, Harmony)

4.4 banners

Himeko Nova

Gilgamesh

Rin Tohsaka

Himeko Nova, Gilgamesh, and Rin Tohsaka are the new 4.4 banners in Honkai: Star Rail. We know this new version of Himeko is coming thanks to her character drip marketing, and Gilgamesh and Rin were revealed as coming this "Summer" in the 4.3 livestream,, which lines up with 4.4's patch cycle.

Also, you can claim a copy of Gilgamesh for free just by logging in, or get yourself another copy of Archer instead. I'm probably going to go for Archer, seeing as he's so busted against single-targets even without his E1, but maybe Gilgamesh will turn out to be meta-worthy and I'll make a liar out of myself.

Next Light Cone banner

Here's what's on the next Light Cone banners in Star Rail (June 24 - July 14):

• Thus Burns the Dawn - Phainon's signature
• This Love, Forever - Cyrene's signature

And the boosted four-star Light Cones are:

• A Secret Vow (Destruction)
• Subscribe For More! (Hunt)
• Dance! Dance! Dance! (Harmony)

Current banners in Honkai: Star Rail

Mortenax Blade

Yao Guang

Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang are the current banners in Honkai: Star Rail, which runs from June 1 to June 24. Mortenax Blade is (unsurprisingly) a Fire Nihility variation of Blade, everybody's favorite sad boy Stellaron Hunter. And it seems like Yao Guang (Physical, Elation) is getting The Herta treatment this patch cycle, as we just had her banner in version 4.0. Her greed sickens me.

Anyway, all of the boosted four-star characters on Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang's banners are:

• Sampo (Wind, Nihility)
• Luka (Physical, Nihility)
• Tingyun (Lightning, Harmony)

Also, keep in mind that if you pull Mortenax Blade from his banner, you get the Karmic Fire of the Distant Shore cosmetic, a flaming halo of fire that floats around the Trailblazer’s head that takes up a brand new cosmetics slot. So it's kind of a free accessory.

One more also: remember that Saber and Archer are also still running on the special Fate/stay night Collaboration Banner. Saber is a five-star Wind-attacker of the Destruction path, and Archer is a five-star Quantum-attacker of the Hunt path.

Current Light Cone banner

Mortenax Blade's signature Nihility path Light Cone, Reforged in Hellfire, is on the current Brilliant Fixation Light Cone banner during Phase 1 of version 4.3 in Honkai: Star Rail (June 1 - 24). The current Bygone Reminiscence Light Cone banner features Yao Guang's signature Elation Light Cone, When She Decided to See (also running June 1 - 24).

And the boosted four-star Light Cones in Phase 1 are:

• Goodnight Sleep Well (Nihility)
• Day One of My New Life (Preservation)
• The Moles Welcome You (Destruction)

Don't forget that Archer and Saber's signature Light Cones are also a part of the Collaboration Banner. Just tab to the A Thankless Coronation Light Cone to try for Saber's, and The Hell Where Ideals Burn Light Cone to try pulling for Archer's instead.

Honkai: Star Rail banner list

Honkai: Star Rail has taken to throwing banners our way at an alarming rate these days. The 'ol standard of a new character and a rerun every phase of a patch has now turned into a dice roll on whether the Indelible Coterie banner and its six character reruns will appear or not. (Do you not have enough of our money already miHoYo!?)

I you're looking to see how long it's been since a character has ran, or just want a quick look at the current banners, here's the entire list of all banners history in Honkai Star Rail:
