Honkai: Star Rail banners
Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 Phase 2 is live from October 21 to November 10, 2026, and the unusual part is that Pearl is still on it. Her "An Ocean in a Pearl" warp runs the whole version rather than a single phase, so the 5-star Ice unit on the Path of Elation who headlined Phase 1 is still pullable now. What changed at the break is the second slot: Evanescia's rerun closed October 21 and Mortenax Blade (Fire, Nihility) took it, with the Light Cone Reforged in Hellfire beside Pearl's Colors for Tomorrow on the Brilliant Fixation warp. Featured 4-stars are Xueyi, Qingque, and Misha, and they do not rotate at the phase break this version. Looking ahead, Version 4.7 is leaked to make Aeon Aha playable around November 11, which would be the first Aeon in the roster, but nothing there is confirmed. Below is the full warp schedule with a "should you pull" verdict for each.

Pearl and Mortenax Blade (4.6 Phase 2)
Should you pull? Live now, and low-stakes by design: Pearl carries over, so if you missed her in Phase 1 nothing is lost and this is still the window for the version's only debut. The new decision is Mortenax Blade, a Fire Nihility rerun with the Light Cone Reforged in Hellfire. Nihility reruns are the slot most accounts can afford to skip, since the path is deep in free and four-star options, so treat him as a want rather than a need unless you are specifically short Fire for an endgame weakness. One thing to plan around: both of these are character event warps, so they share a single pity counter, and splitting pulls between Pearl and Mortenax Blade does not split the risk. The 4-star lineup does not rotate at the phase break this version.
Phase 2 of Version 4.6, October 21 to November 10 (UTC-5). Pearl's "An Ocean in a Pearl" warp and her Light Cone continue through this phase rather than closing at the break. Featured 4-stars: Xueyi, Qingque, Misha.

Version 4.7: Aeon Aha (Leaked)
Version 4.7Should you pull? Leaks place the first playable Aeon in 4.7, around November 11: Aeon Aha, said to be the identity behind Nihilux, as a Quantum unit on Elation built to control turn order for the whole team. If that holds it is the most significant debut of the 4.x arc, and the kind of unit worth banking through 4.6 Phase 2 for. But 4.7 has not entered formal beta, so ability values, the rerun slots, and the banner order are all expected to move. Treat this as a planning marker, not a plan.
Leaked, not yet confirmed. Silver Wolf LV999, Yao Guang, and Sparxie are the leaked rerun candidates. Dates and kit change until the official Special Program.
Past Banners (4)
Evanescia Rerun (4.6 Phase 1)
Should you pull? Closed October 21, but read that carefully: only Evanescia left. Pearl's rate-up runs through Phase 2 as well, so nothing was lost if you waited, and she is still pullable in the live phase below. Evanescia was a first-wave Elation rerun rather than a debut, so if your follow-up core was already built she was a convenience and not a priority. Her signature Light Cone, Until the Flowers Bloom Again, left the Brilliant Fixation warp with her.
Version 4.6 went live September 27 at 22:00 (UTC-5), September 28 for EU and Asia servers. Featured 4-stars: Xueyi, Qingque, Misha.
Aventurine Waveflair and Ashveil (4.5 Phase 2)
Should you pull? Closed September 27 when Version 4.6 began. Aventurine Waveflair was the summer alternate most accounts saved through Phase 1 for, an Elation follow-up unit with the Light Cone Summer Rides the Surf. Ashveil was a first rerun, so a second chance rather than a last one; expect her again. Her build guide stays up for owners.
Ran September 12 to September 27. Featured 4-stars on the Waveflair warp were Sampo, Hook, and Guinaifen.
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.
