🎯 Quick Answer
HSR banner history is a record of every past Honkai: Star Rail Character Event Warp and Light Cone Event Warp, including featured 5-star characters, reruns, signature Light Cones, and banner timing.
For most players, banner history is useful because it helps you plan Stellar Jade, understand rerun patterns, avoid impulse pulls, and decide whether to pull now or save for a future banner.
Update Note: Honkai: Star Rail banners change every version. Always cross-check current banners with official HoYoverse announcements before spending Stellar Jade.

🧠 What Is HSR Banner History?
HSR banner history is a timeline of previous Honkai: Star Rail Warp banners, including limited character banners, rerun banners, and Light Cone banners.
For most players, banner history matters because Honkai: Star Rail is not only about which character is strong today. It is also about resource planning.
If you spend Stellar Jade on the wrong banner, you may miss:
- ✔ a stronger DPS rerun
- ✔ a key support character
- ✔ a signature Light Cone
- ✔ a sustain unit your account actually needs
- ✔ a future meta-defining character
In my experience, banner history is especially useful for F2P and low-spender players. You do not need to pull every banner. You need to understand banner timing, rerun gaps, and account value.
Before deciding whether an old rerun is still worth pulling, I recommend comparing it with your current roster through the Honkai Star Rail characters list, especially if you are missing key roles like sustain, support, or a main DPS.
📡 Current HSR Banner Status
As of the latest public banner information, Honkai: Star Rail is in the Version 4.2 cycle. Current and upcoming banners may change by phase, server time, and official announcement schedule.
The safest way to use banner history is not to treat it as a guaranteed prediction tool. Instead, use it as a planning reference:
- ✔ Check which characters have not rerun for a long time
- ✔ Compare rerun characters with current meta value
- ✔ Save Stellar Jade before high-value support banners
- ✔ Avoid pulling Light Cones before your account has enough characters
Simple rule: Banner history helps you prepare, but official HoYoverse announcements decide the final banner schedule.

Editor note: Continue this table through the latest version using official announcements, in-game Warp records, and trusted community banner trackers. Do not guess future banners unless HoYoverse has confirmed them.
When a rerun character appears in this table, the next step is not always “pull immediately.” Check whether the character still fits the current meta through the Honkai Star Rail tier list before committing your Stellar Jade.
💡 HSR Light Cone Banner History
Light Cone banners usually run alongside featured character banners. For limited characters, their signature Light Cone is commonly featured in the matching Light Cone Event Warp.

| Version | Phase | Featured Character | Featured Light Cone | Pull Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | Phase 1 | Seele | In the Night | High for Seele mains |
| 1.0 | Phase 2 | Jing Yuan | Before Dawn | Strong Erudition option |
| 1.1 | Phase 1 | Silver Wolf | Incessant Rain | Debuff-focused |
| 1.1 | Phase 2 | Luocha | Echoes of the Coffin | Niche sustain value |
| 1.2 | Phase 1 | Blade | The Unreachable Side | Strong Blade option |
| 1.2 | Phase 2 | Kafka | Patience Is All You Need | Strong DoT value |
| 1.3 | Phase 1 | Imbibitor Lunae | Brighter Than the Sun | Strong DPS Light Cone |
| 1.3 | Phase 2 | Fu Xuan | She Already Shut Her Eyes | Sustain-focused |
| 1.4 | Phase 1 | Jingliu | I Shall Be My Own Sword | High DPS value |
| 1.4 | Phase 2 | Topaz | Worrisome, Blissful | Follow-up value |
| 1.6 | Phase 1 | Ruan Mei | Past Self in Mirror | Strong support value |
| 2.1 | Phase 1 | Acheron | Along the Passing Shore | Very high for Acheron |
| 2.3 | Phase 1 | Firefly | Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest | High Firefly value |
Personal recommendation: For most F2P players, characters are usually more valuable than Light Cones. I only recommend pulling Light Cone banners when the character is already a long-term investment for your account.
- ✔ Pull the Light Cone if you already have the character
- ✔ Pull if the Light Cone gives a major performance spike
- ✔ Skip if you are missing core supports or sustain units
- ✔ Skip if the upgrade is mostly luxury damage
If you are unsure whether a signature Light Cone is worth the cost, compare it with general Light Cone options from the Honkai Star Rail Light Cones guide before spending pulls.
📈 How to Use Banner History for Pull Planning
Banner history is not just for looking back. It helps answer one important question: Should I pull now, or should I save?
| Situation | What Banner History Tells You | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| A character has not rerun for a long time | Rerun chance may increase | Start saving |
| A character reran recently | Lower short-term rerun chance | Skip unless you need them now |
| A meta support returns | High account value | Consider pulling |
| A DPS reruns after being power-crept | Check current meta first | Pull only if you like the playstyle |
| A signature Light Cone reruns | Compare with F2P options | Pull only if upgrade is large |
From a planning perspective, banner history works best when combined with pity tracking. If you are close to guarantee, your decision should be stricter. A good approach is to use a HSR pull tracker before every major banner so you know whether you can actually secure the character.
🔁 Rerun Pattern Analysis
Reruns are not perfectly predictable. HoYoverse can change banner order based on story relevance, events, new mechanics, anniversary plans, or promotional timing.
⭐ Popular Characters Often Return Faster
Characters with strong demand, high ownership value, or meta relevance tend to feel more likely to return sooner, although this is never guaranteed.
Common examples include:
- strong universal supports
- premium sustain units
- meta DPS characters
- characters connected to new endgame content
- characters that synergize with newly released units
🛡️ Support Banners Usually Age Better Than DPS Banners
In my experience, supports are safer long-term pulls than most DPS units. A DPS can be replaced by a newer damage dealer, but a support that improves several teams often stays valuable longer.
Good examples of long-term pull value:
- Ruan Mei
- Sparkle
- Robin
- Sunday-style support units
- premium sustain characters
For players building long-term teams, it is often better to review your overall team structure through a Honkai Star Rail team building guide instead of pulling every DPS rerun that looks strong on release.
🔥 Light Cone Value Depends on Character Dependence
Some characters work well with free or 4-star Light Cones. Others gain a major spike from their signature Light Cone.
Before pulling a Light Cone, check:
- damage increase
- utility gain
- Energy Regeneration
- CRIT consistency
- Break Effect scaling
- team flexibility
Core rule: A signature Light Cone is only worth it when it meaningfully changes the character’s performance or your account already has enough core characters.
💎 Should You Pull or Save?

Here is the pull-planning rule I personally use:
Pull supports for account value. Pull DPS characters for playstyle. Pull Light Cones only when the character is already a long-term main.
✅ Pull Now If:
- ✔ the character completes your main team
- ✔ the banner includes a top-tier support
- ✔ your account lacks sustain
- ✔ you already prefarmed materials
- ✔ you enjoy the character’s gameplay
- ✔ you can guarantee the character without destroying future plans
⛔ Save If:
- ✘ you already have enough DPS units
- ✘ the banner is mostly a luxury upgrade
- ✘ a stronger support rerun may be close
- ✘ you cannot guarantee pity
- ✘ you are only pulling because of hype
After pulling a new character, proper relic and stat optimization usually gives more value than immediately chasing another banner. If you are building a new unit, the HSR Relic Scorer guide can help you avoid wasting resources on bad relic pieces.

❓ FAQ
HSR banner history is a record of previous Honkai: Star Rail Character Event Warps and Light Cone Event Warps. It helps players review past banners, reruns, featured characters, and signature Light Cones.
HSR banners usually change by version phase. Each major version normally has multiple banner phases, although special banners, anniversary banners, and collaboration banners can change the pattern.
Banner history can help estimate rerun timing, but it cannot guarantee future banners. HoYoverse can change rerun order based on story, events, balance, or promotional plans.
Usually, F2P players should prioritize characters first. Light Cone banners are better when you already own the character and the signature Light Cone provides a major upgrade.
Support and sustain banners usually have the highest long-term account value. DPS banners can be strong, but they are more vulnerable to future power creep.
Should I pull a rerun DPS character?
Pull a rerun DPS character if you like the playstyle, need that damage type, and already have enough supports and sustain units. If your account lacks core supports, saving may be better.
Use banner history to check rerun gaps, compare upcoming banners, estimate your Stellar Jade needs, and avoid spending pulls too early before a high-value banner arrives.
