HSR 4.1 Banner

Ashveil  

Check out this handsome man of mystery: Ashveil. Everyone is losing their minds trying to figure out who he actually is. Is he the rumored Galaxy Rangers leader, La Mancha, who was supposed to drop in 4.1? Or is he actually a Boothill SP? I mean, just look at the drip—the outfit, the hair, and that overall vibe are giving major Boothill energy. Plus, with Rappa from the same faction getting a rerun in 4.0, you have to wonder if Hoyo is dropping some major hints here. Honestly, the theories about Ashveil’s true identity are all over the place right now. So, which side are you on?

 

HSR 4.2 Banner

Silver Wolf (SP)

Have you guys noticed something sus about the new splash art? Out of all seven characters, Silver Wolf is the only one rocking a unique special border! Like, is Hoyo trying to tell us something? On top of that, there’s a little heart icon that looks like a HP bar in the top-left corner of her art, totally missing from everyone else. Does this mean she’s getting some "main character energy" or a massive power creep in the 4.x patches?

But wait, look closer: her right arm seems to have gone full cyborg, and I’m pretty sure I see a mechanical tail peeking out from her hair. Honestly, it’s too cute to handle! I’m officially simping, I just want to give her a big hug already.

Evanescia

I bet every Trailblazer has already caught the news about the HSR 4.0 delay. But the real question is: how does this affect our highly-anticipated Aha character, Evanescia (Yae SP) Originally, she was set to headline the 3rd Anniversary in version 4.2. However, with the schedule shifting, the Anniversary might actually move up to version 4.1, meaning we could be pulling for her much sooner than planned! First teased in the official Aha event, Evanescia is shaping up to be the definitive Main DPS for Elation. If you’ve been hoarding Stellar Jades, stay tuned, because Evanescia might be crashing the party early.

But the real hype? The Trailblazer (Elation) upgrade. Just like we got Harmony in Penacony, the Planarcadia arc is expected to culminate in the MC unlocking the power of Aha. If you’re a fan of follow-up attacks, version 4.2 is going to be your ultimate playground.

 

HSR 4.3 Banner

Nihilux

Meet Nihilux, the only character who was missing from those early official silhouettes. She’s seen holding a pen, which has fans speculating she might be an artist capable of literally drawing Aha into existence. With her silver-white hair, a stylish beret, and those half-rim glasses framing her purple eyes, her "intellectual beauty" vibe is honestly off the charts.

Her title is Origin of Aha, and the official intro even calls her the "strictest mother of the Aeons." If that’s not a major hint at her being absolutely cracked in the meta, I don't know what is. It’s pretty clear Nihilux is going to be one of the heavy hitters and a must-pull for the 4.x era.

Blade (SP)

So, it looks like Blade and Silver Wolf have officially touched down in Planarcadia! It seems our Stellaron Hunters, who’ve been a bit low-key in the Amphoreus storyline, are finally ready to pop off.

But can we just talk about whoever designed Blade's new fit? Absolute genius. The way his physique peaks through those bandages is... well, let’s just say Hoyo knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s straight-up fan service and I’m not complaining!

On a more serious note, it’s wild to see someone as stoic as Blade switching over to the Path of Elation. What on earth did he go through to make that jump? Maybe Blade SP’s story is all about finally facing his past and finding a twisted kind of peace—interpreting Elation through a lens of extreme sorrow, like finding a reason to smile even when everything is hurting. It’s deep, it’s emotional, and I am totally here for it.

HSR 4.4 Banner

Himeko SP

If those early leaks are on the money, we’re finally getting Himeko SP in version 4.4! Word on the street is that she’s going to be one of main pushes of the 4.x era alongside Evanescia (Yae SP), so you know her power level is going to be insane. Unlike other SP units that feel like a total reinvention, Himeko SP feels like the ultimate payoff because she is familiar yet powerful and carries so much narrative weight. If you’ve been waiting for a banner that hits you with all the nostalgia while actually moving the plot forward, 4.4 is looking like a total dream come true.

Just a heads-up that this image is actually the character model for Murata Himeko from Honkai Impact 3rd. I’m using it here just to give us an idea of what Himeko SP might look like in HSR, so definitely take it with a grain of salt. Make sure to keep an eye out for the final official reveal to see the real deal!

 

HSR 4.5 Banner

Robin’s SP form is expected to lean further into her performance-driven identity, potentially amplifying team-wide buffs or tempo control, while Aventurine (SP) naturally keeps the spotlight on Ten Stonehearts politics and high-stakes manipulation. Thematically, this patch screams “spotlight and spectacle”—public-facing brilliance on one side, calculated risk-taking on the other.

 

HSR 4.6 Banner

Late October is looking mysterious with the arrival of Sugilite, one of the most anticipated members of the Ten Stonehearts (P45). That vibrant purple color is basically Sugilite’s signature, and the cornerstone in his hand perfectly matches the features of a real sugilite gemstone. The sphinx in the background suggests that his design might be heavily inspired by Egyptian elements, while the feast on the table and the mountains of treasure behind him serve as a clear metaphor for human desire. It feels like Sugilite might be a master of manipulation who knows exactly how to pull people's strings.

 

HSR 4.7 Banner

We’re ending the year with a bang on December 9th because Void Archives is finally returning. Lore enthusiasts, feel free to start screaming now! To wrap up the 4.x cycle, rumors are flying that SP Sampo will finally reveal his true identity as "The Joker," a high-ranking Emanator of Elation. It’s exactly the kind of year-end climax we’ve all been waiting for.

That said, we don't have 100% confirmation that SP Sampo will definitely show up in the 4.x versions, so keep those expectations in check for now. The banner slot might actually go to another character from the "God War" since HoYoverse has teased so many faces in their PVs that haven't debuted yet. Anyway, if any of this turns out wrong, we’re just going to blame Aha for hacking into LDShop and messing with our data!

Conclusion

SP characters, body model changes, and Planarcadia’s Elation chaos all signal a long-term shift in how HoYoverse wants players to engage with both the narrative and the gacha.

If you’re planning pulls, think in arcs, not patches. Decide which factions, paths, and storylines you actually care about, then budget your Stellar Jades accordingly.
