As you become more familiar with Honkai Star Rail, you’ll notice that it has Event Warps, a similar system to that of Wish Banners in Genshin Impact. You’ll need to save up your Stellar Jades for this one, should you find yourself interested in the featured characters and Light Cones.
Since Stellar Jades are not the easiest item to come by, you’ll want to make sure you’re saving your Stellar Jades for the best of the best in terms of characters and Light Cones. To keep yourself up to date on the current Warps available in the game, use this guide to your advantage.
Updated by Christina Roffe on October 11, 2023: Due to the ever-changing nature of Honkai Star Rail’s Warp Banners, we have updated the Current Character & Weapon Banner sections to reflect the recent Version 1.4 Phase 1 update.
Current Character Banner
In this section, you’ll find all the limited-time current Character Banners and what you can expect from them, as well as any other additional information you might need.

In this Warp, each 5-Star and 4-Star Featured Character will receive a drop boost of 50 percent. This means, out of all the 5-Star and 4-Star characters you can get on this Warp Banner, you will have a much higher chance of receiving the featured characters instead. After you have used 10 Warps, you are guaranteed to receive a 4-Star character or Light Cone. At 90 total Warps, you are guaranteed a 5-Star character or Light Cone. If you do not receive the featured character at 90 Warps, you are guaranteed to receive the featured character the next time you reach 90 Warps. The same goes for the 4-Star characters when you reach 10 Warps.
With each new limited-time Warp Event, the amount of Warps you have used will always carry over to the next event. This means, for example, if you have reached around 70 Warps for one event, and then it ends, once the next event begins, you will not start at zero. You will still be at 70 Warps, meaning you’ll only need 20 more Warps to get a 5-Star character or Light Cone. This way, you won’t have to worry about your Warps going to waste.

In the Light Cone Warps, the featured 5-Star and 4-Star Light Cones have an increased drop rate of 75 percent. This means that whenever you receive a 4-Star or 5-Star Light Cone, you will have a much higher chance of receiving one of the featured Light Cones rather than one of the other standard ones. Once you’ve used 10 Warps on this event, you are guaranteed to receive a 4-Star Light Cone or reward. Also, once you hit 80 Warps, you are guaranteed to get a 5-Star Light Cone. If you receive a Light Cone that is not one of the featured ones, you are guaranteed to get one of the featured Light Cones the next time you reach 10 Warps for 4-Stars or 80 Warps for 5-Stars.
This Warp Event will carry over just like the Character Warp Events. When an event ends and a new one begins, you will not start at zero Warps, but rather the amount you were at the last time you used a Warp on the event page.
