Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3 is no longer upcoming. “The Fall at Dawn’s Rise” launched on May 21, 2025 at 06:00 (UTC+8), and its first Event Warp phase ran from the update until June 11, 2025 at 11:59 server time. That phase featured the limited five-star characters Hyacine and The Herta. A Special Program summary listed Cipher and Aglaea for Phase 2, but the available official notices do not establish Phase 2’s exact start or end times. This page preserves the verified 3.3 lineup and explains the Warp rules that applied to it.
What were the Honkai: Star Rail 3.3 banners?
Version 3.3, titled The Fall at Dawn’s Rise, had two character-banner phases. Phase 1 officially featured Hyacine and The Herta. A HoYoLAB summary of the Version 3.3 Special Program identified Cipher and Aglaea for Phase 2. Only Phase 1’s boundary is stated in the official Event Warp notice, so a precise Phase 2 calendar should not be inferred.
| Version 3.3 phase | Featured limited five-star characters | Verified timing or source qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Hyacine (Remembrance: Wind) The Herta (Erudition: Ice) |
After the Version 3.3 update through June 11, 2025 at 11:59 server time, according to HoYoverse’s Event Warp notice. |
| Phase 2 | Cipher Aglaea |
Lineup reported in a Special Program creator summary; exact dates are not confirmed by the cited pages. |
The official update announcement described the version this way: “Those on the brink of collapse, those poised to rise — realms where even gods dare not tread shall become routes charted and anchored by mortals.” You can read the announcement in full on HoYoverse’s Version 3.3 update page.
When did Version 3.3 and its first banner phase run?
HoYoverse scheduled the Version 3.3 update to begin on May 21, 2025 at 06:00 (UTC+8). The official Part I notice then set the Phase 1 Event Warp period as “after the Version 3.3 update – 2025/06/11 11:59:00 (server time).” In practical terms, Phase 1 ended at the same server-time boundary shown in the notice, rather than at a universal UTC instant.
The later announcement for Version 3.4 gave July 2, 2025 as that version’s release date. That subsequent release confirms that 3.3 is a historical schedule, not a set of banners still waiting to launch. The dates and the original notice are available in Version 3.3 Event Warp: Part I and the Version 3.4 announcement.
Who was on the Phase 1 character banners?
Hyacine
Hyacine was one of the two limited five-star characters in Phase 1. Her official listing identifies her as a Remembrance character with the Wind element. She was available only through her named Character Event Warp during the stated event period.
The Herta
The Herta was the other Phase 1 limited five-star character. The Event Warp notice identifies her as an Erudition character with the Ice element. Like Hyacine, she was restricted to her named Character Event Warp while that phase was active.
The two characters appeared in separate named Character Event Warps, but those warps used the same character-event guarantee counter. The official notice does not provide performance rankings, damage tests, revenue figures, or a recommendation about which character was the better pull; those claims would require separate evidence.
Who was listed for Phase 2?
The Version 3.3 Special Program summary listed Cipher and Aglaea as the Phase 2 characters. That page is a creator’s summary of the program rather than the direct Event Warp notice used for Phase 1, so treat the names as a reported lineup with lower source certainty than the official Phase 1 details.
No exact Phase 2 start date, end date, Light Cone schedule, or rerun information is established by the cited pages. In particular, the Phase 1 end time should not be converted into an asserted Phase 2 launch time: maintenance, regional server timing, and the game’s own notices determine the operative transition.
The summary also labels Daythunder Anamnesis as new content associated with the program. It does not, by itself, provide enough banner-calendar detail to attach a date or additional Warp claims to that name. The summary can be read at HSR 3.3 Special Program | Phase 1 & 2 Banners.
How did the 3.3 Character Event Warp guarantee work?
Character Event Warps use a shared five-star character guarantee counter. The two Phase 1 warps were both classified as Character Event Warps, so pulls made on one counted toward the same character-event counter as pulls made on the other. The counter also carried over between Character Event Warps instead of disappearing when a phase ended.
- Shared category: Character Event Warps share one character guarantee counter.
- Carry-over: Progress carries from one Character Event Warp to another.
- Separate systems: Character-event progress is independent of other Warp types.
- Limited availability: Hyacine and The Herta were obtainable only from their named Character Event Warps during the listed period.
This means a player who stopped pulling after Phase 1 did not lose the character-event pity they had accumulated; that progress remained part of the Character Event Warp system for a later character banner. The rule describes the counter, not a guarantee that a particular future character will rerun.
Did the Light Cone banners share the same counter?
No. Light Cone Event Warps used a separate five-star Light Cone guarantee counter. The two named Light Cone Event Warps associated with the notice shared progress with one another, and that progress carried over among Light Cone Event Warps, but it was independent of the Character Event Warp counter.
| Warp type | What shares the five-star counter? | Does progress carry over? |
|---|---|---|
| Character Event Warp | Other Character Event Warps | Yes, between Character Event Warps |
| Light Cone Event Warp | Other Light Cone Event Warps | Yes, among Light Cone Event Warps |
| Across categories | Character and Light Cone counters do not combine | No cross-category carry-over |
The official Part I notice also says the featured limited Light Cones were obtainable only from their respective named Light Cone Event Warps during the event period. It does not state a shared counter between character and Light Cone banners. See the complete notice at HoYoverse’s Event Warp explanation.
How should you use the old 3.3 schedule when checking your account?
Because the schedule has ended, the useful question is usually how to interpret old pull history rather than when to save for a 3.3 banner. The counter rules still matter when reading a record of pulls, but the 3.3 character names do not imply current availability.
- Identify the Warp category. Separate Character Event Warp pulls from Light Cone Event Warp pulls before counting anything.
- Group character-event pulls together. Pulls made on either of the Phase 1 character warps belong to the same character-event counter.
- Keep Light Cone progress separate. Do not add Light Cone pulls to a character count, even if they occurred during the same version.
- Use the in-game Warp record for your account’s exact history. A schedule page can establish the event window and rules, but only your account record shows how many pulls you made or which five-star result reset your counter.
- Check a current in-game notice for availability. The 3.3 notice establishes limited access during its event period; it does not promise a rerun after the period ended.
What is confirmed, and what remains unknown about HSR 3.3 banners?
The strongest evidence is the official Part I announcement: it names Hyacine and The Herta, gives their paths and elements, defines the Phase 1 boundary, and explains the two counter systems. The Special Program summary is useful for the Phase 2 names, but it is not the same type of source as the Event Warp notice.
- Confirmed: Version 3.3’s name, May 21, 2025 update start, Phase 1 characters, Hyacine’s Remembrance: Wind classification, The Herta’s Erudition: Ice classification, the June 11 server-time boundary, and carry-over rules.
- Reported but not fully date-confirmed: Cipher and Aglaea as the Phase 2 lineup.
- Not established by these notices: exact Phase 2 dates, rerun timing, character-strength rankings, pull-value recommendations, banner revenue, and player-preference statistics.
Keeping those categories separate prevents a common error: treating a program summary as if it supplied a complete, official calendar. For historical reference, the 3.3 lineup is clear; for any current banner decision, consult the game’s current notices rather than an old schedule.
Why do dates show “server time” instead of one global time?
Event notices use the time standard applied by the relevant game server. A timestamp displayed in UTC+8 for the update announcement is not automatically the same clock reading a player sees for an event’s closing boundary. When an event is close to ending, the countdown and notice inside the game are the practical authority for that account’s server.
For 3.3, the safe, source-backed wording is therefore “through June 11, 2025 at 11:59 server time.” Converting that boundary to another time zone without identifying the server can make the deadline appear earlier or later than the game enforced it.
Are the HSR 3.3 banners still upcoming?
No. They concluded in 2025. Version 3.4 was announced for July 2, 2025, and the current reference date for this schedule is October 8, 2026, so “upcoming” is stale wording for 3.3. Hyacine, The Herta, Cipher, and Aglaea should be read as the historical 3.3 lineup, with Cipher and Aglaea retaining the date qualification described above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still pull Hyacine or The Herta from the 3.3 banners?
The official notice only guarantees access to each character through its named Character Event Warp during the Phase 1 event period. It does not establish a later rerun, so current availability must be checked in the live in-game Warp notices rather than assumed from the old schedule.
Did Cipher and Aglaea definitely have separate Phase 2 banners?
The cited Special Program summary lists both names for Phase 2, but the available material does not provide a direct Event Warp notice with exact dates or banner-by-banner details. Treat the lineup as reported, not as evidence of a specific start or end time.
Does pity from a 3.3 character banner carry to a Light Cone banner?
No. Character Event Warp and Light Cone Event Warp guarantees are separate counters. Carry-over applies within each category, so character progress moves to another character event while Light Cone progress moves to another Light Cone event.
What does the June 11, 2025 deadline mean for different regions?
It is written in server time, not as a universal local-time deadline. The relevant server’s in-game countdown or notice is the correct way to determine when the Phase 1 warp closed for an individual account.
