HoYoverse Launches Fate/stay night Crossover Event
HoYoverse has officially detailed Version 4.4 of Honkai: Star Rail, headlined by the highly anticipated collaboration event with Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]. Starting July 24, 2026, Trailblazers can participate in the special “Imagenae Holy Grail War” event, pull for iconic limited 5-star crossover characters like Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh, and claim a free 5-star Servant character. Here is a complete breakdown of the update content, banner schedules, weapon light cones, and event rewards.
New Limited 5-Star Characters: Rin Tohsaka & Gilgamesh
The Version 4.4 collaboration introduces two legendary Master and Servant units to the Warp banner pool, complete with custom combat animations and voice lines:
- Rin Tohsaka (5-Star Quantum, Erudition): A high-burst AoE damage dealer who utilizes jewel magecraft mechanics to amplify team Quantum Break damage, generate skill points, and clear multi-target enemy waves efficiently across endgame content.
- Gilgamesh (5-Star Lightning, Destruction): The King of Heroes joins as a formidable single-target and splash DPS unit. His Ultimate opens the Gate of Babylon, launching continuous Noble Phantasm swords that scale in damage based on current team Skill point consumption.
Free 5-Star Character Reward: Pick Gilgamesh or Archer
To celebrate this massive crossover milestone, HoYoverse is offering generous log-in rewards for all active and returning players. Anyone who logs into Honkai: Star Rail between July 24 and August 30 can claim a free 5-star character selector ticket, allowing them to instantly obtain either 5-star Gilgamesh or 5-star Archer (Hunt, Wind) without spending Stellar Jades on banners. Additionally, completing the 7-day daily log-in event awards 10 free Star Rail Special Passes directly to your in-game mailbox.
Imagenae Holy Grail War Event & Custom Light Cones
The core event content, “Imagenae Holy Grail War,” takes place across a newly created simulated realm where Trailblazers pair up with Servants to battle rival Master teams in tactical turn-based combat. Completing story chapters unlocks event-exclusive 4-star Light Cones, custom phone wallpapers, self-modeling resin for artifact crafting, and over 2,000 bonus Stellar Jades.
Banner Schedule and Pull Advice
Alongside the Fate crossover banners, Version 4.4 features the debut of Himeko • Nova (5-Star Fire, Erudition) on the Phase 1 character banner. For players focused on high-tier endgame modes like Memory of Chaos, Apocalyptic Shadow, and Pure Fiction, pulling for Rin Tohsaka or claiming the free Gilgamesh unit delivers immense elemental coverage.
