Summary
Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 will bring a longer-than-usual 44-day update with new story content, events, exploration rewards, login bonuses, and multiple endgame resets. Based on the currently announced content, free-to-play players can expect roughly 100+ pulls worth of Stellar Jade and other rewards throughout the version. If that's not enough, buy Honkai: Star Rail Top Up to secure the characters you're targeting before their banners end.
Here is a breakdown of the estimated Jade income, Banner schedule, events, and other important rewards coming in Version 4.6.
How Many Free Pulls Can You Get in Version 4.6?
Version 4.6 is expected to provide around 102 pulls for free-to-play players, so using 100 pulls as a baseline is reasonable.
The estimated totals are:
Free-to-play: Around 100–102 pulls
Supply Pass: Around 127 pulls
Battle Pass + Supply Pass: Around 136 pulls
The Supply Pass can provide close to 4,000 Stellar Jade if it covers the full 44-day version. Players who purchase the pass during the update can therefore push their total significantly beyond the free-to-play baseline.
These numbers are estimates rather than guaranteed official pull totals, but they are based on the currently announced activities and recurring rewards.
Stellar Jade Sources in Version 4.6
A large portion of the rewards will come from the new story, events, exploration, and regular activities.
Story and Event Rewards
The continuation of the main story is expected to provide around 800 Stellar Jade when its associated rewards are counted.
The main version event will provide roughly 1,000–1,200 Jade, along with achievements and an additional cosmetic reward.
Other events will provide additional Jade:
A Voracity-related event with Dan Heng
A returning event based on Undying Tales
An additional event worth around 500 Jade
A seven-day login reward worth 10 pulls
The Dreamjolt event, which includes 18 Gacha Passes and around 500 Jade
Some individual reward estimates may change once the content becomes available in-game.
Exploration and Permanent Rewards
The new map also gives players another major source of Stellar Jade. Exploration, puzzles, and related objectives are expected to provide around 875 Jade.
Players can also earn approximately 325 Jade from achievements, tests, and other smaller sources.
Maintenance compensation contributes another 600 Jade, while the creator also counts around 300 Jade from the Version 4.7 livestream, bringing this portion of the estimate to roughly 900 Jade.
Version 4.6 Banner Dates
Version 4.6 will feature two major Banner phases.
Aventurine Banner
Aventurine will headline the first Banner phase when Version 4.6 begins.
Players who are planning their pulls can use the first half of the version to save resources for the second phase if necessary.
Blade Banner
Blade is scheduled to arrive on October 21, marking the start of the second Banner phase.
Pela will remain available throughout the entire 4.6 version, meaning she will also be present during the Blade Banner period.
This gives players additional time to decide whether to spend their saved Stellar Jade on Blade, his Light Cone, or upcoming Version 4.7 characters.
Version 4.6 Events and Login Rewards
Several limited-time activities will run throughout the 44-day version.
The main event will remain available for most or all of the update and will provide a substantial amount of Stellar Jade alongside additional rewards.
A returning event will also become available immediately after the version launches. According to the source, it is expected to feature co-op gameplay and provide around 500 Jade.
Another event begins around the Blade Banner on October 21 and provides another 500 Jade.
10-Pull Login Event
Players will also receive 10 pulls through consecutive login rewards during the early part of the update.
Since this reward remains available until the end of the version, players should have plenty of time to claim it even if they do not log in every day immediately after the update.
Double-Drop Events and Endgame Rewards
Version 4.6 will include several recurring activities that can help players build their characters while earning additional resources.
A 2x Ornament event is scheduled for October 12, while a 2x Trace event is scheduled for October 30.
The version will also contain four endgame rotations:
Two Memory of Chaos rotations
One Pure Fiction rotation
One Apocalyptic Shadow rotation
The source estimates around 900 Stellar Jade per complete endgame cycle when the relevant stellar rewards are included.
Daily Training is another major source, providing approximately 2,640 Jade over the unusually long 44-day version.
Six weeks of Simulated Universe rewards are estimated at around 1,350 Jade, while the in-game shop will reset twice during the update.
Monetary War and Version 4.7 Changes
Players should also pay attention to Monetary War during Version 4.6.
The source points to a major update or rebalancing coming with Version 4.7 and recommends completing available content before that change. However, the exact nature of the rework has not been fully established.
Because of that, players should treat claims about a complete reset or major redesign as expectations rather than confirmed details until HoYoverse provides more information.
New Skins and Other Rewards
Version 4.6 will also introduce new cosmetic content.
The Evancia skin can be obtained with Stellar Jade, although its cost is high. The source estimates that purchasing it with Jade requires around 16 pulls' worth of currency. After the introductory period, its stated value is expected to be 3,200 Jade.
Another skin, Racini's skin, will cost 1,350 Oneiric Shards.
The update will also introduce new Battle Pass icons and additional packs.
Version 4.6 Pull Planning
With roughly 100–102 free-to-play pulls expected during Version 4.6, players have a substantial amount of currency to work with, especially because the update lasts 44 days instead of the usual 42.
However, the exact amount each player receives will depend on how much content they complete and whether they purchase the Supply Pass or Battle Pass.
For free-to-play players, the safest approach is to prioritize the permanent and limited-time Stellar Jade sources, claim the login rewards, complete the major events, and keep enough resources available for the characters they actually want.
With Aventurine arriving first, Blade on October 21, and Nilux expected on November 10, Version 4.6 gives players several important Banner decisions to make before Version 4.7 arrives. If you're short on Stellar Jade, Honkai: Star Rail Top Up can help you secure the pulls you need so you don't have to skip one of these banners.
