Honkai: Star Rail's Version 4.7 update, Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars, is live now on PC, iOS, Android, Epic Games Store and PlayStation 5. Maintenance began on November 10 at 5 p.m. ET and ran for about five hours, with the update going live later that evening. The version runs until December 23.
New Character: Aeon Aha
Aeon Aha joins the roster as a limited 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Elation, the first Aeon players can add to their team. Aha causes the Path of Elation to ascend for Elation characters, letting each one unlock unique combat abilities. Aha's Aha Instant fast-forwards Elation Skill performances, the team steadily builds Wishpower during battle, and a full gauge unlocks an Ultimate that deals Elation damage to all enemies. Under Aeonic Authority, ally attacks directly reduce enemy Max HP.
Story: The Final Phantasmoon Games
The update brings the Planarcadia story arc to its finale. The leviathan known as the Voracity has been sealed for over a thousand Amber Eras by Aha's Phantasmoon Games, and now it is on the verge of a full awakening. To stop it from regaining its strength and devouring the universe, Aha has launched the hunt for the Voracity, summoning eight Supplicants to stage the Final Phantasmoon Games aboard the Starfroster, a sweet, cake-like ship sailing across the sea of stars. The Trailblazer fights alongside Aha in the showdown that decides the destiny of the universe.
Banners and Reruns
Aha's banner runs through December 22. The first half of the version brings back Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang, while the second half returns Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan.
New System: Affinitive Eidolons
Version 4.7 adds Affinitive Eidolons, a new growth system that unlocks extra abilities for characters players already own. Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan are the first three to receive them. Players can also claim one of those three characters for free, along with one Affinitive Eidolon, through the Grab Your Opening Gifts event, running through December 23.

The version event The Fluffy Movie: Overheated has players help Aha run a dessert shop to earn Gold Coins, while the Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame brings a new combat event.
