Schedule

Although rumors such as Golden Spirit Shop updates for Robin and Huohuo, and Jingliu added to the standard banner pity system have been debunked, miHoYo’s long‑running anniversary tradition strongly suggests free pulls, daily log‑in Stellar Jade, and other standard rewards are all but confirmed.Insiders have even hinted at surprises like a 5‑Star Character Selector or high‑value rewards. While some fake leaks (e.g., choosing an Aeon) are unreal, but after all players are just too excited about that.

Reward Predictions

Based on the previous anniversary, there will be:

• 20 free pulls
• 1 companion Golden Spirit
• 2.4 million Memorial Album currency
• First Top‑Up Double Reset
• Anniversary special events
• Real‑life collaborations (milk tea, birthday events, concerts)

Other Expectations:

• First Top‑Up Double Reset and 20 free pulls for all servers are guaranteed.
• Anniversary recharge milestones and special offers will return.
• Following the Version 4.0 free 5‑Star selector, a new companion Golden Spirit (likely Silvermane or Huohuo) is highly likely.
• No confirmed concert plans. If one were to happen in April, venues would have been booked early in the year.

Banner Leaks: Dual Featured Characters & SP Forms Arrive

Version 4.2’s most anticipated content is its banner lineup. According to leaks, the anniversary will break tradition with a dual featured banner setup.

First Half Banner: Evanescia (Aha – Main DPS)

As the Honkai Impact 3rd Yae Sakura counterpart in HSR, Evanescia caused a huge community buzz upon reveal.She keeps her iconic pink fox ears, and her weapon is a creatively designed oversized utility knife. The quirky “school tool for fighting” aesthetic perfectly matches the chaotic vibe of the Aha Path. She is rumored to be the new core DPS of the Aha team archetype.

Second Half Banner: Silver Wolf LV.999 (Aha – Featured)

This is likely Version 4.2’s biggest highlight.According to leaks, the anniversary flagship character has shifted from Evanescia to SP Silver Wolf.As a popular Star Core Hunter member, Silver Wolf will debut in a brand‑new SP form: her curly hair is changed to a half‑up ponytail, with mechanical prosthetics, giving her a mature, cool look.

Her role is no longer Nihility support, but a Imaginary / Aha Path main DPS, known among fans as “Wolf Lord”.Leakers state her kit is deeply tied to a Laugh Point system and could completely reshape the Aha team meta. She is also rumored to synergize with Yaoguang (Version 4.0) to form the ultimate Aha team.

Gameplay Updates: New Chapter in Divergent Universe

Along with version updates, Divergent Universe will receive a theme refresh.Version 4.0 already added Convergence Double Boost to help players earn rewards faster. During the Version 4.2 anniversary, a new chapter themed around Planarcadia is expected to arrive.The current Divergent Universe reward track will end around March 25. Trailblazers should claim all rewards before then to prepare for the more challenging new content.

Conclusion

Whether it’s the triumphant return of SP Silver Wolf or Evanescia’s iconic utility‑blade combos, Version 4.2 anniversary will undeniably be a feast for Aha Path fans.While many details are still between leaks and speculation, one thing is certain: the Astral Express will power up dramatically in the coming months.
