Honkai: Star Rail players are on the hunt for the best characters and pulling as much as they can from warps, that is why knowing about Warp Banners is important. If you are unsure about how the system fully works that makes sense as everyone needs some time to get used to it. This article will take you through what you need to know about Warp Banners and their rates in Honkai: Star Rail.
Warp Banners in Honkai: Star Rail Explained
Honkai Star Rail Warp Banners are how you roll for getting characters and Light Cones in the game. You can use Star Rail passes as a currency to roll on the regular (Stellar Warp) banners whereas you will need a Special Star Rail pass to roll on limited-time event warp banners. Stellar Jade that you collect in the game can be used for purchasing/turning into Star Rail passes.
Limited-time warps have a much greater chance of providing you with the associated banner character. These can be a brilliant option for anyone who is having difficulty in acquiring their desired five-star character from a pull — a term for the warp results. HoYoverse will tend to have new warp banners available for players from time to time so these will change a lot.

Whenever you see a character you’d like to get attached to a limited-time warp banner, you will want to ensure that you are ready to pull as many times as possible. It shouldn’t take you an extensive amount of time to finally get the character you were looking for from warping. Of course, you still have a chance for higher-star characters from regular Stellar Warps too.
