What are the Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 banners?

Indelible Coterie lets you choose which of the three returning 5-stars is the rate-up character. The 4-star Elation Light Cone "See You at the World's End!" is a free Superimposition 5 copy from the 4.7 Trailblaze Mission.

What does Aeon ★ Aha do?

HoYoverse describes Aha as the character that grants ascension to the Path of Elation: with Aha on the team, Elation characters gain Innate Traces and new abilities. Aha also stars in the "Aha Instant," with higher base SPD and faster performance, and has Aeonic Authority, which lets ally damage suppress enemy Max HP. Aha's Skill gives one ally the "Emanator of Elation" state and immediately triggers a follow-up attack, and the Basic ATK deals Quantum Elation damage. Aha's outfit "Star Lotto" comes from the Cosmic Aesthetics: Phantasia Showstage outfit draw. Community rankings already place Aha in the top tier as an Amplifier; see the HSR tier list for 4.7.

What free rewards are in Honkai: Star Rail 4.7?

The "Grab Your Opening Gifts" events run for the whole version and require Trailblaze Level 4:

The Stellar Convergence Store also adds Jiaoqiu (5-star Nihility: Fire) and his Light Cone "Those Many Springs."

What are Affinitive Eidolons?

Affinitive Eidolons are a new special Eidolon that gives a character new abilities and exclusive art on the Eidolon screen. In 4.7, Acheron, Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan can use them. Owning the character and their Affinitive Eidolon activates it regardless of the character's normal Eidolon level. You can get one from Affinitive Starveil, and all three from the Myriad Symphony event by spending Star Rail Special Passes or Fashion Invites. They will be added to the Store for Undying Starlight in later versions.

What changed in Currency Wars?

Currency Wars starts a new season, "Voyage Into the Canvas," with the 4.7 update. It adds two seasonal themed modes, "Escapade" and "Plot Armor," fully revamps Bonds, and reworks employee Bonds, costs, on-field and off-field roles and Character Empowerments, along with new equipment and Investment Environments. It needs Trailblaze Level 21 and is best played after the Trailblaze Mission "Penacony: Stranger in a Strange Land." Version 4.7 also adds a setting outside combat to turn any character's exclusive effect on or off globally.

What is the 4.7 endgame schedule?

The three main endgame modes refresh in turn during 4.7 (server time):

Anomaly Arbitration's high-difficulty mode also updates, with the theme "Anomaly Arbitration: Hidden Stage." Voracity corrosion still affects some stages in 4.7 and 4.8, and you keep the Lv. 3 "Aha's Big Help" buff against corroded enemies.

What story and areas are new in 4.7?

The Trailblaze Mission "Planarcadia: Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars" needs Trailblaze Level 21 and is best played after "Astropolis: Dance With the Beast Before Moonrise." It can be previewed through Finality's Vision. New areas are the Starfroster, the Mourning Actors' touring showboat, and Moment of Joy. Version 4.7 also adds the Echo of War "Moon of Indulgence," the Divergent Universe stage "Dramatis Personae," and two Planar Ornament sets: God's Moment of Joy and Subspace ASC Center. Quick Farm can now plan all materials for a character at once, with up to 24 Calyx runs per farm.

Should you pull for Aha in 4.7?

Pull for Aha if you run Elation characters, since Aha unlocks extra Traces and abilities for that whole Path and is ranked as a top Amplifier. The Aha banner runs all version, so you can wait for Phase 2 news before deciding. Claim the free pick first: Acheron is the strongest of the three in current Memory of Chaos rankings, and the free Affinitive Eidolon from Affinitive Starveil can go on the same character. If you already own Acheron, consider saving Special Passes for the Phase 2 Indelible Coterie, which features the same three characters. More updates are on the Honkai: Star Rail hub.
