Honkai: Star Rail version 4.7, “Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars”, is now live on iPhone and Android after maintenance that began at 22:00 UTC on 10 November. The version runs until 23 December at 06:00 (UTC+8).

Aeon ★ Aha and the Path of Elation

The patch notes list “5-Star Aeon ★ Aha (Elation: Quantum)”; the App Store and Google Play write the name as “Aeon • Aha”. According to the notes, Aha grants ascension to the Path of Elation, which gives Elation characters Innate Traces and new abilities. Aha also leads the new Aha Instant, raising its base SPD and performance speed, and has Aeonic Authority, which lets ally damage suppress enemy Max HP. The notes do not say how players obtain Aha.

Planarcadia mission and Currency Wars: Voyage Into the Canvas

The Trailblaze Mission “Planarcadia — Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars” is permanent and needs Trailblaze Level 21 or higher. Completing it gives the 4-star Light Cone “See You at the World’s End!” at Superimposition 5. Two new areas, Starfroster and Moment of Joy, also arrive.

Currency Wars: Voyage Into the Canvas is a new season with two themed modes, Escapade and Plot Armor. HoYoverse’s notes say Bonds “have been completely revamped”, along with employee Bonds, costs, on/off-field roles and Character Empowerments. It also needs Trailblaze Level 21 or higher.

Accounts at Trailblaze Level 4 or higher before the update get 300 Stellar Jade for the maintenance and 300 for bugs by in-game mail. The bug compensation must be claimed by 11 December at 23:59 (UTC+8); the maintenance compensation stays claimable until the end of 4.7.

Before Planarcadia, the notes recommend finishing “Astropolis — Dance With the Beast Before Moonrise”, though the mission can be played early through Finality’s Vision. Before Currency Wars, they recommend finishing “Penacony — Stranger in a Strange Land”.

The Grab Your Opening Gifts event, open during 4.7 from Trailblaze Level 4, lets players pick one Affinitive Eidolon for Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae or Jing Yuan. Affinitive Eidolon is a new system that activates when a player owns both the character and its Affinitive Eidolon, “regardless of the character’s original Eidolon Level”. The event also offers materials to level one of the three to Lv. 60 instantly, 20 Star Rail Special Passes for cumulative check-ins and a custom max-level 5-star Relic.
