Honkai: Star Rail 4.3 Pull Guide: Mortenax Blade, Yao Guang, and Oneiric Shards

Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3 Phase 1 features Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang from June 1 to June 24, 2026. Mortenax Blade is the new Fire Nihility headline character, while Yao Guang returns as a Physical Elation option. With Phainon and Cyrene scheduled for Phase 2, this banner period creates a real resource decision rather than a simple "pull or skip" question.

This guide focuses on that decision. Before spending Stellar Jades or converting Oneiric Shards, compare what each character adds to your account, claim the Version 4.3 free rewards, and calculate how much pity you can realistically reach.

Mortenax Blade or Yao Guang?

Mortenax Blade is the stronger priority for players who want the new Version 4.3 unit, need a Fire Nihility character, or enjoy debuff-focused gameplay. His official kit description emphasizes a special Zone, DEF reduction, Vulnerability effects, and Follow-Up ATK interaction. Pulling him also rewards the Version 4.3 cosmetic Karmic Fire of the Distant Shore according to current banner coverage.

Yao Guang is a Physical Elation character and a rerun target. She is the more account-specific choice: players who already understand her teams, missed her earlier appearance, or want investment in the Elation path may prefer her over a brand-new archetype.

Use this decision guide:

· Pull Mortenax Blade if you need Fire Nihility, debuff value, or want the new 4.3 character.

· Pull Yao Guang if Physical Elation directly fits your roster and planned teams.

· Save for Phainon or Cyrene if either Phase 2 character is a higher priority.

· Avoid pulling signature Light Cones until the character itself is secured.

· Do not split resources between both banners unless your pity and budget support two outcomes.

Claim the 10 Free Passes Before Deciding

Gift of Odyssey gives Star Rail Special Pass x10 after seven total check-ins. These passes should be counted before any top-up. Version events, maintenance compensation, daily training, Simulated Universe or other active weekly modes, achievements, missions, and event rewards can add more Stellar Jades.

The correct sequence is:

1. Claim all currently available free rewards.

2. Check Character Event Warp pity.

3. Confirm whether your next 5-star is guaranteed.

4. Decide between Phase 1 and Phase 2 targets.

5. Calculate the remaining number of passes.

One Star Rail Special Pass costs 160 Stellar Jades. Ten passes cost 1,600 Stellar Jades. Oneiric Shards can be converted into Stellar Jades, so buying before calculating the gap can lead to unnecessary spending.

Understand HSR Pity and Guarantee

A 5-star character is guaranteed within 90 warps on a Character Event Warp. If the first 5-star is not the featured character, the next 5-star is guaranteed to be featured. Pity and guarantee carry between regular Character Event Warp banners.

However, special collaboration banners may follow separate rules or durations. Do not assume every visible banner shares the same pity. Check the in-game banner details before using passes, particularly if you are also considering the long-running Fate/stay night collaboration banners.

Should You Save for Phase 2?

Current schedules list Phainon and Cyrene for June 24 to July 14. Saving is the better choice if either character solves a bigger roster need, if your Phase 1 pity is low, or if you cannot reach a realistic guaranteed result before June 24.

Pulling Phase 1 makes more sense when:

· You can reach a 5-star without exhausting your entire reserve.

· Mortenax Blade or Yao Guang fits a team you will actually build.

· You are comfortable skipping or reducing Phase 2 investment.

Saving makes more sense when:

· Phainon or Cyrene is your clear favorite.

· You are on a guarantee and do not want to risk it.

· You also want a future collaboration or Version 4.4 character.

Smart Oneiric Shards Top-Up Plan

Set a maximum budget before opening a top-up page. Count Stellar Jades, passes, Gift of Odyssey, event rewards, and remaining days of daily income. Then choose the smallest product that covers a realistic gap.

For light spenders, an Express Supply Pass may provide better long-term value when there is enough time left, but it is not an instant replacement for a large number of pulls. For a banner ending soon, calculate how many daily rewards can actually be claimed before the deadline.
