The leaker also addressed previous rumors about Jing Yuan and Silver Wolf joining the standard banner, claiming that it probably will not happen, at least not anytime soon. However, other leakers have also commented on this matter, stating that HoYoverse is actively adjusting whichHonkai: Star Rail5-star charactersit wants to add to the standard pool. As a result, every leak regarding this topic should be taken with a grain of salt.
Some fans claim they never expected Jing Yuan and Silver Wolf to become standard banner characters since they wererecently rerun inHonkai: Star Rail. Instead, they anticipate that the standard pool will include characters who have not been featured on a banner for a long time, such as Seele, Blade, Jingliu, and Luocha. Some comments have pointed out that adding Silver Wolf and Jing Yuan to the standard banner after their recent reruns might be disappointing for players who spent their resources to obtain them.
Regarding the anniversary, there is currently not a lot of hype, as fans expect the usual event lineup to return. However, the extra Stellar Jade will definitely come in handy for players hoping to obtain the new 5-star units, Castorice and Anaxa. Castorice has been one of the most anticipated characters in the community and is expected to be featured in the first banner cycle ofHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.2, which should launch around April 8. This means that Anaxa will most likely be featured in the second half of the update.
