Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Second Half Opens With Blade Rerun
A rerun banner opening the second half rather than a new character is the kind of scheduling HoYoverse uses to hold spending between story patches, and Blade's return lands alongside a Pearl banner still running.

Honkai: Star Rail version 4.6 second half began on October 21 with the event warp "I Am the Blade," which raises the appearance rate of the limited 5-star character Blade (Fire / Nihility), voiced by Shinichiro Miki. The companion Light Cone warp "Recollected Memories" features "New Body Burned in Purgatory (Nihility)." The "Pearl from Beyond the Sea" warp for Pearl (Ice / Elation), voiced by Kiyono Anno, continues. Both run until November 10.
The second-half banners share a single closing date: 15:00 server time on November 10, which is 16:00 Japan time. Both Light Cone warps run on that same clock.
Alongside the gacha, HoYoverse opened "Star Piece Festival: One Cut," an in-game event framed as a reality show produced by Star Piece Entertainment. It asks players to audition and show off combat techniques, with a period ending 4:59 Japan time on November 11.
The game is free to play with in-game purchases on iOS, Android, PC via HoYoPlay and the Epic Games Store, and PlayStation 5.
