Honkai Star Rail Banner Schedule: Ultimate Pull Priority and Jade Guide
By Robert Thorne
HoYoverse operates on a rigid six-week release cycle, split cleanly into two 21-day phases. Phase 1 launches concurrently with the version client update on Wednesday mornings (server time), featuring a brand-new promotional five-star alongside a returning character rerun. Phase 2 takes over midway through the cycle, often pairing a second debut character with another veteran rerun or presenting a double-rerun slate.
This predictable version release timeline gives players an exact operational horizon. Because official special program livestreams air roughly 10 to 12 days prior to patch deployment, you always have advance confirmation of the four featured five-star characters and the accompanying featured 4-star characters across both halves before committing any currency. This two-week information buffer is your primary defense against premature spending.
Running concurrent reruns accelerates roster accessibility, but it splits your warps across multiple targets. Because the pity pool is shared between concurrent character event warps, progress made on an active rerun carries directly to the debut banner. If you fail a coin flip on a rerun, that guarantee immediately protects your next five-star pull on the debut banner.
