On release date, all of the characters and their light cones in Honkai: Star Rail will be available in the Starter and Standard Warp banners. The only exceptions are the Trailblazer (Protagonist) and the Event Warp banner exclusives Seele and Jin Yuan.
While you will need to expend Star Rail Special Passes in order to pull in the character and light cone-focused banners, you will be able to pull on both the Starter and the Standard banners by using Star Rail Passes.
The Standard Warp banner will be available indefinitely, featuring a set number of 5-star and 4-star characters. The Starter Warp banner will, on the other hand, be available for 50 pulls. When pulling on it, you are guaranteed to get at least one 5-star between Welt, Himeko, Clara, Bailu, Geopard, Bronya, and Yanking within the maximum number of pulls.
Apart from the Trailblazer, 5-star characters will only be unlockable thought pulls.
