Leaks tied to the leaker Sakura Haven describe the five-star characters expected to arrive across Honkai Star Rail versions 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7. The headline names are alternate “SP” takes on two familiar faces, plus a couple of new units connected to the Planarcadia storyline. Drip marketing for the 4.5 five-star is expected to begin during the second half of the current patch, which is when HoYoverse usually teases the next units on its social channels.
Quick answer: Treat these as unconfirmed. The leaked roster for 4.5–4.7 is Aventurine SP (Elation), Robin SP (Remembrance), an unrevealed Elation unit, Nihilux (path unknown, tipped for 4.7), and Pearl (Elation). Wait for official drip marketing before spending any Stellar Jade.
Leaked characters for Honkai Star Rail 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7
The leak frames versions 4.5 and 4.6 as featuring three limited five-star units in total. Two of them are said to follow the Elation Path introduced in 4.0, while the third walks the Remembrance Path. Details on one of the two Elation units have not surfaced, so it remains a blank slot for now.
| Character | Path | Likely window |
|---|---|---|
| Aventurine SP | Elation | 4.5 / 4.6 |
| Robin SP | Remembrance | 4.5 / 4.6 |
| Unknown unit | Elation | 4.5 / 4.6 |
| Nihilux | Unknown | 4.7 (possible) |
| Pearl | Elation | 4.5 or 4.6 (possible) |
The “SP” tag points to alternate versions of existing characters rather than brand-new identities. Aventurine and Robin already exist in the game, so these would be reworked combat forms on new Paths instead of debut units.
How the 4.5 and 4.6 banners could be split
HoYoverse normally releases two new characters per version, one in each banner phase. With only three units spread across two updates, the math suggests one of those patches would be lighter on new characters, effectively a filler version with less fresh banner content.
That split is not nailed down. The leak names the three units but does not assign each one to a fixed phase, so the exact order of Aventurine SP, Robin SP, and the unrevealed Elation unit can still move between 4.5 and 4.6.
Where Nihilux and Pearl fit
Nihilux is tied to the Planarcadia teasers and is flagged as a possible playable unit in version 4.7, with the caveat that the placement could slip out of that patch entirely. Its Path has not been pinned down in the leak.
Pearl, the rank P45 senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department and a member of the Ten Stonehearts, is listed on the Elation Path with a possible release in either 4.5 or 4.6. The same leak rates this as a lower-confidence claim, so her window is the least certain of the group.
Why these leaks may still change
Nothing here is official. Names, Paths, and version windows are pre-drip-marketing rumors and can shift before HoYoverse confirms anything. The clearest signal that a unit is real comes when it appears in official drip marketing on the Honkai Star Rail social accounts, followed by a version livestream and a confirmed banner schedule.
For now, the safe read is to keep your Stellar Jade reserved and watch for the 4.5 teaser, since that announcement will be the first hard confirmation of which of these leaked characters actually makes the cut.
