Before selecting your MC in Honkai: Star Rail, Kafka is the character serving as the “tutorial unit” for your adventure’s initiation. Without explanation, she “comes in hot” and shows herself as an individual whom enemies don’t want to mess with. Needless to say, there’s no doubt that many players were impressed by her style, personality, and performance in combat. As a result, the question, “When does the Kafka Banner come out in Honkai: Star Rail?” will be on everyone’s mind. 

Does Kafka Have a Release Date in Honkai Star Rail?

As of April 27, 2023, neither Kafka nor her Warp Banner has a release date in Honkai: Star Rail. It’s common knowledge among the community that she is a five-star character equipped with the Lightning Element and the Nihility path. After all, every player gets to test her abilities first-hand during the game’s tutorial.

While lacking official info about the Kafka Warp Banner’s release date in Honkai: Star Rail, we can still predict she’ll appear in upcoming updates. Similar to how Childe didn’t show up in Genshin‘s Wishes until Version 1.1, Kafka will eventually be featured in banners in the subsequent updates. Until then, we can only save up our Star Rail Passes in preparation for her arrival. Since it is likely she will be on the Character Event Warp, we recommend saving Star Rail Special Passes.

For reference, Kafka’s primary weapon is a sword. Midnight Tumult and Caressing Moonlight are her Basic Attack and Skill, respectively. Dealing Lightning DMG, Caressing Moonlight is capable of attacking adjacent enemies. Her Ultimate, Twilight Trill, is likely the breathtaking spectacle that seized the hearts of many fans in Honkai: Star Rail.

Honkai: Star Rail is available on PC, PlayStation 4|5, Android, and iOS.
