Honkai Star Rail 4.4 Banners: Himeko SP, Rin, Archer & Gilgamesh for free！
2026-05-26
Version 4.4 marks the second phase of the Honkai: Star Rail× Fate/stay nightcollaboration, with Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh entering the roster alongside the arrival of Himeko SP. What follows covers the character details, the leaked kit notes, and the event schedule you’ll want before touching your pulls.
Rin Tohsaka
Hailing from beyond the cosmos, from a world where magic and magecraft exist—a young magus tirelessly honing her craft.
The sixth head of the Tohsaka family, a renowned magecraft lineage from Fuyuki.
Currently studying under a distinguished mentor at the Clock Tower—one deeply connected to the Holy Grail War—she traverses dimensions and planes to complete her internship assignment...
"Huh? Where am I? Why is there absolutely no mana here...? Th-the Holy Grail?! I'm saved! Excuse me, may I borrow this for a moment!"
Gilgamesh
In a certain world beyond the cosmos, the primordial King of Heroes of human history.
Two-thirds divine and one-third human, he naturally claims the privilege to rule over all (or so he declares).
Even today, he roars with laughter as always, until he is dragged into another world by a certain nemesis Goddess—
This time, he shall once again reclaim everything that belongs to him as a King.
Himeko SP
For Version 4.4, the spotlight is on Himeko SP—an upgraded take on the fan-favorite Astral Express navigator. While her concept art has already surfaced online, the community response remains overwhelmingly positive.
Regarding the leaked kit direction:
- she is speculated to be a Fire element DPS who focuses on her Ultimate and scales with ATK.
- While she boasts strong synergy with the Astral Express crew (Dan Heng, March 7th, Welt, etc.), it's important to note this isn't a full crew lockout—you retain 1–2 flexible slots, though the buffs are clearly tailored for AE members.
- Her best-in-slot relic set appears to be the "Navigator" set (added in 4.3), which enhances both Skill and Ultimate damage from the start of battle.
- she may utilize a Nova-style resource system linked to her spear.
Honkai: Star Rail is a space fantasy RPG that blends cinematic storytelling with strategic turn based battles.
