Honkai Star Rail next banner and current banner: All banners

Honkai Star Rail players can get their hands on new characters and Light Cones every three weeks, thanks to the game’s fixed banner system. Now that Seele’s banner is gone, here’s everything to know about the next and current character and Light Cone banners in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail has a banner system similar to Genshin Impact. At any point in time, the game will have certain banners to help you unlock Light Cones and characters. Every three weeks, new banners will arrive giving players more opportunities to improve their character and Light Cone collection.
