Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.4 Banner Information
First Half Banner: New Character Bai E Makes Her Debut
Under the vast starry sky, the first half banner will introduce the debut of the new character Bai E. As the main character of the Destruction Path, Bai E has a unique combat mechanism. She does not rely on energy release for her ultimate skills but instead accumulates “Destruction” stacks to cast her ultimate. When the destruction stacks reach a specified number, Bai E enters “Realm” mode, where only she remains on the field, gaining self-enhancement effects and access to three unique skills. This unique combat rhythm requires teammates to provide buffs for her outside of Realm mode to help her accumulate destruction stacks faster to activate her ultimate. Once in Realm mode, all the buffs she gained outside will no longer decay over turns, allowing her to deal higher burst damage during her fixed action period.
In addition to the new character Bai E, the first half banner will also feature the return of three characters: Ti Bao, Huo Huo, and Xing Qi. Let us revisit the brilliance of these characters among the twinkling stars.

Fate/Stay Night Collaboration Banner: Saber and Archer Debut
The collaboration between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] will officially begin on July 11, 2025! This cross-dimensional collaboration brings two new characters: Saber and Archer. Saber is a Wind Attribute Destruction Path main character, while Archer is a Quantum Attribute Hunting Path main character. Their arrival will undoubtedly add more legendary colors to this starry sky.
Saber’s combat mechanism revolves around using ultimate skills as much as possible to deal damage. Every time any teammate casts an ultimate, Saber gains energy and “Furnace Resonance” stacks, with Furnace Resonance increasing her damage output. Her combat style focuses on accumulating Furnace Resonance through skills, enhancing basic attacks, and using teammates’ ultimates to improve overall output efficiency.
Archer, on the other hand, deals massive output through “continuous skill casting.” When he uses a skill, the turn does not end. As long as his skill points are at least 2 or he has not consecutively cast skills 5 times, he can continue.
