Honkai Star Rail 4.7 banners begin with the 11 November 2026 release of Version 4.7. Aeon ★ Aha makes the new five-star debut, with Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang returning first and Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan returning in the second half.
The two phases aren’t the only thing worth considering. HoYoverse is also giving players a separate free five-star choice, so it’s worth checking that reward before spending passes on a returning character.
Honkai Star Rail 4.7 banners: Confirmed release and warp lineup
| Banner | Five-star characters |
|---|---|
| New release | Aeon ★ Aha (Elation) |
| First half | Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie, Yao Guang |
| Second half | Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Jing Yuan |
Version 4.7, Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars, begins 11 November 2026. Aeon ★ Aha is the new limited five-star on the Path of Elation, with signature Light Cone Upon the First Echo of Aha. Aha is the new addition, while the other six named five-stars are returning characters.
The exact four-star rate-ups will be listed in each warp’s own notice. For now, the confirmed five-star schedule tells you which half to plan around.
Phase one: Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang
The first half features Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang. All three are reruns. If you already own one, the choice is whether to invest in additional copies or focus on the new Aeon and a signature Light Cone.
All three first-half characters follow the Path of Elation, so they are worth considering if you’re interested in playing them with Aha. They’re separate rerun choices, not one selectable five-star.

In the second half, Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan return. These three also become the first characters eligible for the new Affinitive Eidolon upgrades, so the second-phase reruns matter to players considering those enhancements.
HoYoverse also announced a separate free five-star choice from those same three characters. Before spending passes to obtain one, compare that version reward with your existing roster. The free choice is not a second copy of Aha.
Aha and the signature Light Cone
Aha’s signature Light Cone is Upon the First Echo of Aha. The new character’s kit improves Elation allies and uses team-generated Wishpower, an Ultimate dealing Elation damage to all enemies, and Aha Instant to accelerate Elation Skill performances.
The Light Cone and character warps have different guarantee counters. Check the right warp history before spending, especially if you’ve been saving a guarantee since a previous version.
What happens to Version 4.6 pity?
The current Pearl and Mortenax Blade warps are scheduled to end on 10 November at 15:00 server time. HoYoverse’s warp notices explain how the character-event guarantee carries over within the applicable warp type; Light Cone counters follow their separate rules.
Server time depends on your account’s region, so that date and hour should not be passed off as a universal GMT maintenance completion. Players close to a guarantee should check their own warp history before committing Star Rail Special Passes.
Free five-star choice and second-half reruns
The Grab Your Opening Gifts promotion allows qualifying players to choose one free limited five-star from Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae or Jing Yuan. The separate Affinitive Eidolon reward does not turn this into three free characters.
The official claim period begins when the update arrives on November 11 and ends on 23 December at 05:59 UTC+8 for accounts at Trailblaze Level 4 or above. Our free character choice guide covers what each selection means.
Honkai Star Rail 4.7 banners: choosing a character
Choose based on the role missing from your account, which Elation characters you already use, and whether the free selection changes your plans. Aha is the new Elation option; the first half offers three Elation-related reruns; the second half returns characters with Affinitive Eidolons.
For the Honkai Star Rail 4.7 banners, choose based on the teams you actually play rather than a pre-release damage ranking. The Affinitive Eidolon guide covers the new upgrades and the 4.6 banner guide shows what’s leaving.
