Banner Schedule
Honkai: Star Rail Banners
Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 Phase 2 is live as of September 12, 2026 and runs to September 27. Aventurine Waveflair, a Quantum unit on the Path of Elation, headlines alongside the first rerun of Ashveil, "A Hunt Through Night". His signature Light Cone, Summer Rides the Surf, is on the matching Brilliant Fixation warp, and the featured 4-stars are Sampo, Hook, and Guinaifen. Phase 1 (Robin Summeretto and Hyacine) closed today. Note that 4.5 runs five weeks instead of six, so you bank less Stellar Jade than a normal version. Looking further out, Version 4.6 in early October is expected to headline Sugilite, but that is still leak-tier and unconfirmed. Below is the full warp schedule with a "should you pull" verdict for each.
Current Banners (1)
Aventurine Waveflair and Ashveil (4.5 Phase 2)
Should you pull? Live now and the banner most accounts saved through Phase 1 for. Elation is the follow-up attack path, so pull here if you run or want to build a follow-up core; his signature Light Cone, Summer Rides the Surf, sits on the matching Brilliant Fixation warp. Ashveil is a first rerun, which means a second chance rather than a last one, so single-target Lightning damage can wait if your reserve is thin.
Opened September 12 at 12:00 server time, closing September 27 (UTC-5). Featured 4-stars on the Waveflair warp: Sampo, Hook, and Guinaifen.
Upcoming Banners (1)
Version 4.6 Phase 2: Sugilite (Leaked)
Version 4.6Should you pull? A long-teased debut consistently placed in a 4.6 Phase 2 slot, likely continuing the Elation push. Nothing is confirmed until the Special Program, so treat this as a planning marker, not a plan. Bank Jade through the 4.5 summer alts if this is your target.
Leaked, not yet confirmed. Dates and kit change until the official Special Program.

Robin Summeretto and Hyacine (4.5 Phase 1)
Should you pull? Closed September 12. Hyacine was the standout: a Wind Remembrance healer whose Little Ica memosprite heals reactively (so it catches burst before it kills) and whose output scales with Speed past 200, making her the sustain the HP-draining carries like Castorice and Evernight were waiting for. Robin Summeretto was a summer alternate rather than an account-defining unit. Expect Hyacine to rerun before Robin Summeretto does.
Ran August 25 to September 12 with both signature Light Cones.
Rin Tohsaka (Fate/stay night Collaboration)
Version 4.4Should you pull? The premium half of the Fate collab and a strong AoE carry, but she spends Skill Points to deal damage, so she needed a team that could afford to feed her. Now closed; her build guide remains up for owners.
Collab banner: closed when Version 4.5 began on August 25.
