Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 is already underway, but the community is already looking much further ahead. Recent leaks and dataminer reports have begun to outline a possible banner roadmap from Version 4.7 through Version 5.4, including Aeon ★ Aha, several rumored alternate forms, new characters, and potential reruns.
Because much of the 5.X information is still based on leaks rather than official announcements, the lineup and release order can change.
If you're already planning several future pulls, it's worth preparing your Oneiric Shard and checking TOPUPlive for current HSR top-up offers before the next banners arrive.
All information below comes from recent community leaks and is subject to change. Nothing is officially confirmed by HoYoverse.
New Characters | Banner | Element | Path |
|---|---|---|---|
Aeon ★ Aha | 4.7 | Quantum | Elation |
Ellen Joe | 4.8 | Ice | Hunt |
Astra Yao | 4.8 | Quantum | Harmony |
Firefly SP | 5.0 | \ | Finality |
Misha SP | 5.0 | \ | Destruction |
Polka Kakamond | 5.1 | \ | Hunt |
Kafka SP | 5.2 | \ | Finality |
Obsidian | 5.2 | \ | \ |
Dan Heng SP | 5.3 | \ | \ |
Xuanquan | 5.3 | \ | \ |
March 7th SP | 5.4 | \ | \ |
Nihilux, widely believed to be the playable form of Aeon Aha, is expected to debut in Version 4.7 as a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Elation.
Phase | New | Rerun | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 |
|
|
|
|
Phase 2 |
Phainon |
|
Castorice | |
Early information positions her as a high-value unit for Elation teams, with strong turn-order control and support-oriented mechanics rather than pure hypercarry damage. Possible Phase 1 reruns currently circulating include Silver Wolf (LV.999), Sparxie, and Yao Guang, phase 2 include Phainon, Cyrene and Castorice.

Rarity: ★★★★★ | Element: Quantum | Path: Elation
Aeon ★ Aha is a 5★ Quantum character following the Path of Elation. Her design is heavily connected to the Elation system, making her much more valuable in teams that can consistently trigger Elation Skills and generate Punchlines.
Unlike a traditional hypercarry, Aha is designed to contribute both damage and team utility. Her Skill can designate an ally as the Emanator of Elation, while her actions can trigger Aha Instant and allow Elation characters to use their Elation Skills.
Version 4.8 is confirmed to feature the crossover with Zenless Zone Zero. The two characters currently associated with the collaboration are:
Version 4.8 | |
|---|---|
Astra Yao |
Ellen Joe |
Ellen Joe has been heavily rumored as a free or easily obtainable unit in some reports, while Astra Yao is expected to run on a limited banner. This patch is widely viewed as a major saving target.

Version 5.0 is expected to open the 5.x era with two SP characters:
Version 5.0 | |
|---|---|
Firefly SP |
Misha SP |
Version 5.1 is currently linked to Polka Kakamond, the long-teased Genius Society member. Her exact Path remains unclear, with Erudition and Nihility both mentioned in different reports.
Version 5.2 | |
|---|---|
Kafka SP |
Obsidian |
Version 5.3 | |
|---|---|
Dan Heng SP | Xuanquan |
Version 5.4 |
|---|
March 7th SP |
Aeon ★ Aha is the officially revealed 5-star character associated with Version 4.7. Several rerun candidates, including Phase 1 for Silver Wolf (LV.999), Sparxie, and Yao Guang, phase 2 for Phainon, Cyrene and Castorice.
No. Everything from Version 4.9-5.4 onward remains unconfirmed community leaks and may change before release.
Some leaks suggest Ellen Joe may be distributed for free or through an easy claim, while Astra Yao is expected to be a limited banner character. This is still unconfirmed.
Saving is reasonable if you are interested in multiple rumored characters, but avoid treating the entire 5.X roadmap as fixed. Prioritize officially revealed characters and wait for reliable kit information before committing a large amount of Stellar Jade.
The leaked HSR roadmap from Version 4.7 to 5.4 contains plenty of potential targets, from Aeon ★ Aha and the Version 4.8 collaboration to rumored alternate forms for Firefly, Kafka, Dan Heng, and March 7th. However, the farther the roadmap extends, the less certain the information becomes, so players should keep their pull plans flexible.
