Budgeting Stellar Jades is now more difficult than ever with four character banners at the same time in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail will run and feature four different character banners simultaneously. See what we know about the new Indelible Coterie banners in Honkai Star Rail version 2.5 here.

During the Honkai Star Rail version 2.5 live stream, it was revealed that the upcoming update will introduce the Indelible Coterie banners.

It will happen in the first half of HSR 2.5. But first, it's worth noting that the regular Character Warp banner will still be up, this time featuring Feixiao. The Indelible Coterie banners will run alongside Feixiao's. There will be three banners: Kafka, Black Swan, and Robin.

All these banners, including Feixiao's, will feature the same 4-star characters: Asta, Luka, and the newly-playable Moze. Like previous simultaneous character banners, all four will share pity and guarantee mechanics.

The Signature Light Cones for each featured 5-star will function similarly. This means you will have the chance to acquire four limited 5-star Light Cones throughout this duration.

According to the official HoYoLAB post, the Indelible Coterie banners will return "during irregular periods" in future updates. This decision was most likely made to increase the availability of limited-time characters. As of Honkai Star Rail version 2.4, there are already 24 limited characters. Each update introduces at least one new limited 5-star character, so this number steadily grows over time.

The usual benefits of having a featured character all apply to Indelible Coterie. The farming stages for the materials required by Kafka, Black Swan, and Robin are all open for temporary early access via the Survival Index. This includes Stagnant Shadows, Crimson Calyxes, and Echo of War stages. The trial stages (Aptitude Showcase) for them will also be available.

The Honkai Star Rail 2.5 banner Feixiao's Stormrider's Bolt and the Indelible Coterie banners for Kafka, Black Swan, and Robin will be available after the version 2.5 update on September 11, 2024 until 11:59 a.m. server time. The second phase will start on October 2, 2024.
