Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Banner leaks
There's no official confirmation on the version 2.6 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 2.6 Banners are based on reliable leaks and official marketing that always hints at who is coming next.
With this in mind, as she was mentioned in the 2.6 livestream announcement on X, and her drip marketing has started on social media, it's all but confirmed that Rappa is one of the version 2.6 Banners in Honkai: Star Rail, with Rappa an Imaginary attacker of The Erudition path.
As for reruns, according to leaker account Firefly Leaks (relayed on the HonkaiStarRail_leaks subreddit), we're getting Acheron in version 2.6 as well.
It's possible that we might also be getting a rerun of Dr Ratio, as he is included in the official art for the version 2.6 livestream, and was rumoured to have been considered for the version 2.5 Banners as well - but this is just guesswork. As is the possibility of an Aventurine or Imbibitor Lunae rerun, based off a possible hint (though likely a joke) from reliable leaker StepLeaker, relayed on the HonkaiStarRail_leaks subreddit.
Rappa is the only character we're confident is releasing in version 2.6, so we highly recommend you don't pre-farm materials for anybody else until the livestream confirms who we're getting.
