Honkai Star Rail 2.0 Banner leaks
There's no official confirmation on the version 2.0 Banner schedule yet, but to help you decide who to save your precious Stellar Jade for, we've compiled information below on what the likely 2.0 Banners are based on reliable leaks and official marketing that always hints at who is coming next.
With this in mind, as their drip marketing has started, it's almost certain that Black Swan and Sparkle will be the new 5-Star Banners in version 2.0 of Honkai: Star Rail, with new 4-Star character Misha boosted on both. Based on the order they were revealed on social media, Black Swan's Banner should be in Phase 1 of version 2.0, and Sparkle should come after in Phase 2.
Black Swan is a Wind attacker of The Nihility path, Sparkle is a Quantum attacker of The Harmony path, and Misha is an Ice attacker of The Destruction path.
As for reruns, according to leaker hgx_diluc on X (formerly Twitter), we're getting a rerun of Imbibitor Lunae sometime in version 2.0. Another leak from Tieba relayed by user ButterflySeeleSR on the HonkaiStarRail_leaks subreddit also suggests that Jing Yuan is reruning in 2.0 - but we're less confident about this leak.
If the drip marketing and leaks turn out to be true, here's a rough 2.0 Banner schedule for Honkai: Star Rail:
- Black Swan - 2.0 Phase 1
- Misha - 2.0 Phase 1
- Sparkle - 2.0 Phase 2
- Imbibitor Lunae - 2.0 (unknown phase)
- Jing Yuan - 2.0 (unknown phase)
Although all but confirmed through social media, these new characters aren't 100% guaranteed to come out during version 2.0, and character reruns are always subject to change, so we'll just have to wait for the livestream to see who's coming next.
