There are tons of exciting characters in Honkai Star Rail that players can obtain by pulling on the game’s banners. Every banner (otherwise known as Warp) gives you the chance to add powerful fighters to your team comps. So, here are the current banners featured in Phase 1 of version 2.6.

Just like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail utilizes a banner gacha system, which enables players to obtain the strongest characters and rarest weapons. The latest 5-star to release is the Imaginary unit Rappa which players can pull for in Phase 1 of 2.6.
