HSR Banner Schedule 2026: Quick Reference Table

The full schedule at a glance. Versions 4.3 and later are based on reliable leaks and community tracking — treat them as a planning guide, not final dates.

Note: Always double-check official Honkai: Star Rail announcements before pulling, especially for leaked dates.

Current HSR Banners — What Is Live in Version 4.1

Version 4.1 Phase 1 launched today (March 24) and runs until April 8. Ashveil’s banner is active for the entire version. For the complete HSR 4.1 banner details, see our HSR 4.1 banner guide.

Ashveil — A Hunt Through Night

Ashveil is the new 5-star Lightning character on the Hunt Path. She specializes in marking enemies and amplifying Follow-Up Attacks — a strong pick for teams that rely on that playstyle.

Featured 4-stars: TBA (check in-game for exact lineup).

Hyacinthia Rerun — Phase 1 only (Mar 24 – Apr 8)

Hyacinthia’s first rerun. She is a Wind support/healer hybrid and will not appear in Phase 2.

Boothill Rerun — Phase 2 only (Apr 8 – Apr 21)

Boothill is a Physical Hunt DPS powerhouse built for Break teams. His signature Light Cone is also available.

Phase 2 starts April 8 and runs until April 21 (short patch). Boothill returns alongside continuing Ashveil.

Next HSR Banner — Version 4.2 Preview

Version 4.2 Preview

• Silver Wolf SP (Imaginary/Elation) — April 21 – May 13
• Evanescia (Physical/Elation) — May 13 – June 2

Version 4.2 returns to a standard 6-week patch cycle and introduces two brand-new limited 5-star characters, both aligned with the Elation Path. 

Silver Wolf SP (Imaginary/Elation) is the long-awaited Signature Path upgrade of Silver Wolf. She brings enhanced debuff application, improved Weakness implant mechanics, and strong team-wide Follow-Up Attack support, making her a versatile pick for both hypercarry and Break-oriented compositions.

Evanescia (Physical/Elation) is a brand-new 5-star Physical damage dealer with excellent synergy in Elation-focused teams. Her kit emphasizes high personal damage and team-wide buffs, positioning her as a strong DPS option for the current meta.

With both banners centered around Elation Path synergies, Version 4.2 offers excellent value for players who have been saving Stellar Jades for the mid-year roadmap.

Should You Pull? HSR Banner Pull Guide for Version 4.1

Pull if you run Follow-Up Attack teams or need strong Lightning Hunt coverage. Skip if you’re saving for Silver Wolf SP (4.2) or Himeko SP (4.4).

Hyacinthia vs. Boothill

• Hyacinthia: Excellent Wind support/healer hybrid for sustain teams.
• Boothill: Physical Hunt DPS focused on Break damage.

F2P pull priority for 4.1

This is a short 4-week patch cycle. Conserve Stellar Jades if your target characters are further ahead in the roadmap.

Stellar Jade Savings Guide for F2P Players

F2P players typically earn 2,000–2,500 Stellar Jades per patch (roughly 13–15 pulls). A guaranteed limited 5-star usually costs 100–130 pulls (16,000–20,000 Jades).

Plan to save for 2–3 full patches if you want a guaranteed character on a future banner.

HSR Rerun History & Predictions

Most characters rerun within 4–7 versions. Pull immediately for meta-relevant units instead of waiting for distant reruns.
