HSR 4.1 Banner Infos
Pearl
Anon just say Pearl will release in the HSR 4.1 as a Elation healer. Who could forget the hype for Pearl? She is a rank P45 senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department in the Interastral Peace Corporation, and a member of the Ten Stonehearts.

Pearl makes her first appearance in Stonehearts' PV and become one of fan favorite character in HSR, it's been a year, finally we have Pearl's debut!
La Mancha
Accorrding to leaks, La Mancha is the “Leader of the Righteous,” and will appear in Version 4.1. He is the leader of the Sea Rangers but is currently missing. The Celestial Ship “Yuqie” is attempting to reestablish contact with him. Since La Mancha is famous as the setting for Don Quijote's story, this character might be a tribute to Don Quijote, possibly a Spanish-style character. However, whether La Mancha will actually join the banners remains uncertain, and there's no official art revealed yet. In comparison, the information about Pearl seems more reliable.
HSR 4.2 Banner Infos
Featured units (rumored):
- Phase 1: Yae Sakura (Ice Elation)
- Phase 2: Silverwolf (SP) — Path: Erudition (rumored)
4.2 is tipped to introduce Yae alongside an SP form of Silverwolf.
The SP Silverwolf variant will reportedly move to the Erudition Path, shifting her from a debuffer to an AoE-centric damage dealer. Exact kit details remain unconfirmed.
The biggest news? Leaks confirm Silverwolf SP will feature a body model type change. This isn't just a new outfit; we're talking about a potential change in height or body proportions, making her a genuinely new character.
The image shown here is Silverwolf's non-SP version. If/when 4.2 SP art surfaces, we'll update immediately — follow LDShop to get the first look.

HSR 4.3 Banner Infos
Prepare for a new look for the swordsman. Blade (SP) is slated to appear in Version 4.3.
He is rumored to be a Lightning-element character on the Hunt path, functioning as a DPS with powerful follow-up attacks.
Leaked concept art shows a stunning new design: a traditional Japanese samurai with an inverted red coat, more exposed body with bandages, and multiple necklaces.
Just like Silverwolf, Blade is also confirmed to receive a body model type change, ensuring his SP version feels completely fresh.


Rumor says these SP Blade images were snapped during a meeting. If true, someone's about to get obliterated by HoYoverse legal — Godspeed, brother.
Other 4.x SP Candidates (Updated)
- Robin (SP)
- Sampo (SP)
- Aventurine (SP)
- Luocha (SP)
The SP treatment doesn't stop there. Robin (SP) and Aventurine (SP) are still frequently mentioned as candidates for the 4.x cycle.
Recent leaks have also added another major name to the list: Himeko (SP). She is rumored to finally get a protagonist role in Edo Star, possibly as a Destruction Path character slated for 4.4 or later.
However, one piece of news might disappoint fans: Sampo (SP) now seems unlikely for the 4.x cycle. Despite his importance as an Emanator of Elation, his playable SP version has likely been delayed to a future 5.x version.



Conclusion
The 4.x cycle is shaping up to be a game-changer, with the SP system, body model changes, and a fascinating new world to explore. This constant stream of powerful and interesting characters means that planning your Stellar Jade spending will be more important than ever.
