With version 1.6 Crown of the Mundane and Divine officially confirmed, we now know the Honkai Star Rail next banner. The next banners include three new characters that were teased back in version 1.5; Ruan Mei, Xueyi and Dr Ratio.
Here's a rundown of Honkai Star Rail's next banners and which characters are part of which Phase. Version 1.6 is expected to launch on December 27.
Honkai Star Rail next banner: Phase 1
Phase 1 of Honkai Star Rail 1.6 will feature 5-Star Ruan Mei's banner. Ruan Mei is an upcoming Ice character on the Path of Harmony. Her kit focuses around Weakness Break and can even extend it via her ultimate.

Character Event Warp Phase 1
The Lightcone boosted in Phase 1 will be Past Self in Mirror. The artwork shows Ruan Mei staring into her reflection and will be a must-have for those hoping to build Ruan Mei. Past Self in Mirror boosts Break Effect by 60% and increase allied damage during the wearer's ultimate.

Skill: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases all allies' DMG by 24%, lasting for 3 turn(s). Should the wearer's Break Effect exceed or equal 150%, 1 Skill Point will be recovered. At the start of each wave, immediately regenerates 10 Energy for all allies. Effects of the same type cannot stack.
Honkai Star Rail next banner: Phase 2
The Phase 2 banner for Version 1.5 includes the 5-Star Dr Ratio, with the other three drops all fairly common characters. Dr Ratio is an Imaginary character on the Path of the Hunt. His Basic, Skill and Ultimate are all based on a % of Dr Ratio's ATK, making him potentially a very powerful DPS character.

Character Event Warp Phase 2
If you're not a huge fan of Dr Ratio's banner, you'll be delighted to know Kafka is making a return in Phase 2 of version 1.6 in the banner Nessun Dorma. Kafka remains a popular DPS dealer, and arguably the most iconic character from Honkai Star Rail to date.

Skill: Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20%. For every debuff on the enemy target, the wearer's CRIT DMG dealt against this target increases by 8%, stacking up to 3 times. When using his Ultimate to attack the enemy target, the wearer receives the Disputation effect, which increases DMG dealt by 36% and enables their follow-up attacks to ignore 24% of the target's DEF. This effect lasts for 2 turns.
