June 11, 2025: There's still no official confirmation of the full 3.4 banner lineup, but thanks to two reliable leakers, we were able to update the next banners section with the likely five-star rerun characters across Phase 1 and Phase 2 of version 3.4. Spoiler alert - your Stellar Jade reserves aren't going to be happy.
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.
Limited-time rotating banners are called 'Event Warps' in Star Rail, and they usually run for three weeks. Whether it's a new banner or a rerun, once those three weeks are up, it's time to say goodbye and greet the new banners with your stack of Special tickets. Or in my case, a stack of three tickets, because it's hard to save when you want every dang character in the game.
It's best to convert your Stellar Jade into these Special tickets, not the regular tickets used on the standard and Departure Warp banners, because you get plenty of the regular variety by just playing the game. It's much harder to get characters only available for a limited-time—as demonstrated by my pitiful Special ticket reserves—so you'll want all the help you can get when the character you like is available.
Next banners in Honkai: Star Rail
We officially know that Phainon, Saber, and Archer are on the next banners in version 3.4 of Honkai: Star Rail. This was confirmed through Archer is a new five-star Quantum-attacker of the Hunt path.
As for reruns, thanks to reliable leaker Sakura Haven, we know that there's a good chance that Sunday, Tribbie, and Sparkle will run alongside Phainon in Phase 1 of version 3.4. A lovely trio of s to agonise over whether you should get them or not. Why do you have to be running at the same time as Sunday, Tribbie? Not fair.
Another reliable leaker, Anon Leaks, points to Firefly, Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf, and Jingliu rerunning in Phase 2 of version 3.4. This makes sense, as all but Firefly from this list are getting buffs in 3.4.
A pricey sounding line-up for sure, but keep in mind that we all get one copy of Archer for free! You have until the end of version 3.6 to claim him, so make sure you don't miss out.
Phainon's exact banner run dates haven't been revealed yet, but it has been officially confirmed that Saber and Archer will debut on Friday, July 11 at the same time the 'Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail' Fate/stay night event starts. So if you've no idea what a Saber or an Archer is, this is your deadline to get clued-in.
Although, maybe you want to steer clear of the game and the anime altogether, like me, to resist the urge to get more characters. I'm sorry Saber, you look cool, but I have a Sunday rerun to save for.
Current banners in Honkai: Star Rail
Cipher and Aglaea are the current banners in Honkai: Star Rail, both of which end on Tuesday, July 1. Cipher is a new five-star Quantum-attacker of the Nihility path on her Slick and Speedy Steals the Sky Banner, and Aglaea is a returning five-star Lightning-attacker of the Remembrance path on her Tailored Fate Banner.
The boosted four-star characters on Cipher and Aglaea's current banners are:
- Qingque (Quantum, Erudition)
- Sushang (Physical, Hunt)
- Xueyi (Quantum, Destruction)
Yes, this is a very early rerun for Aglaea! She only debuted in version 3.0, so this is a great opportunity to pull for her if you missed out the first time, or get her weapon or first Eidolon to make building Aglaea less stressful.
Next Light Cone banner in Honkai: Star Rail
The next Light Cone banners start on Tuesday, July 1, but there's no official information on what will be on them. Thanks to official drip marketing and good ol' reliable leakers, however, the full line-up can be sussed out.
