Kafka Banner Release Date & Time

For those of you eagerly awaiting the Kafka Banner in Honkai Star Rail, circle the date: August 9. If you’re in the US, get ready at 5pm UTC. And a little heads-up, this is based on the most recent information. Keep an eye on official channels just in case of last-minute tweaks. They’re rare, but they happen.

Time zones and gaming – quite the dynamic duo, aren’t they? Here’s a fun tidbit from my personal experience: I’ve had alarms set at the oddest hours just to be the first to hop onto a new banner release.

Who Are the Four-Star Characters in Kafka’s Banner in HSR?

Ah, banners – the heart and soul of gacha systems. You’ve got your dazzling 5-stars, sure, but often, it’s those four-star characters that can be game-changers (quite literally). I’ve spent countless hours strategizing around these underrated gems. Speaking of which, let’s shine a spotlight on those accompanying Kafka in the Honkai Star Rail banner.

HoYoverse surprised quite a few of us with their lineup for Kafka’s banner. Let’s break it down:

Luka (The Nihility: Physical): The newest member to join the game in version 1.2. From what I’ve seen, Luka isn’t just here to fill the numbers. With abilities dishing out multiple Physical DMG instances, Luka might just be your next favorite DPS or sub-DPS. The Nihility Path he follows? It ensures a consistent Damage over Time (DoT) to opponents, ramping up his damage presence in battles.

Sampo (The Nihility: Wind) and Serval (The Erudition: Lightning): These two aren’t newcomers, but their inclusion in this banner is exciting. Both Sampo and Serval are tried and tested sub-DPS characters, fitting snugly in a variety of team setups. If you’re lucky enough to snag Kafka as the 5-star, expect some electrifying synergy. Kafka’s abilities are rumored to enhance their DoT potential, turning battles decidedly in your favor.

And there you have it – the stars (or should I say, four-stars?) of the Kafka banner.
