HSR Fate Collab 2026 Release Date (Part 2)
Honkai Star Rail x Fate collab Part 2 – “Imagenae Holy Grail War” officially launches on July 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM server time in Version 4.4. This is the major 2026 update you have been waiting for after the successful first part in 2025.
The collab continues the story from Part 1 (which introduced Saber and Archer in July 2025) and adds two powerful new characters along with expanded events.
Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] X Honkai Star Rail Story – Part 2
The 2026 story picks up in a new dream-like realm where the Imaginary Grail system expands. Trailblazers get pulled deeper into Holy Grail War conflicts that intersect with Aeon influences and Penacony-style dream mechanics. You can hope for a stronger focus on Rin Tohsaka’s mage perspective and Gilgamesh’s overwhelming kingly presence clashing with the Astral Express crew.
The narrative of this collab builds on Part 1’s events while standing well on its own. Once the limited-time phase ends, the full story becomes available permanently through Conventional Memoir, so late joiners won’t miss out on lore or rewards.
Honkai: Star Rail Fate Collab Banners (2026)
Part 2 uses the same special collab warp system as Part 1 which is a separate pity that doesn’t share with standard banners. This gives you dedicated pulls for the new units.
Main Banners Starting July 24, 2026
- Rin Tohsaka (5★ Quantum Erudition) – Limited banner with no fixed end date yet.
- Gilgamesh (5★ Lightning Destruction) – Available on his banner and offered as a free selector (choose between Gilgamesh or Archer) from July 24 until the end of Version 4.6.
Part 1 banners for Saber and Archer remain active long-term, allowing you to still pull for them alongside the new 2026 content.
Honkai: Star Rail Fate Collab Characters (2026)
The new Honkai Star Rail x Fate collab 2026 brings two new characters to the HSR tier list as follows:
Rin Tohsaka (5★ Quantum Erudition)
Rin brings mage-style gameplay with strong AoE damage and team utility. She excels at multi-target scenarios and likely synergizes well with other Erudition units or Quantum teams. Her kit focuses on gem mage mechanics translated into HSR’s turn-based combat.
Gilgamesh (5★ Lightning Destruction)
The King of Heroes arrives as a high-damage carry with powerful stacking abilities. Early info shows strong synergy with Saber and his mechanics can gain charges from her actions, restore her energy, and advance her turns. This makes the Saber + Gilgamesh duo particularly potent for endgame content.
Pull Priority Tip: Since Gilgamesh is free during the event window, you can focus on your Stellar Jade on Rin and signature Light Cones. If you need extra pulls for copies or weapons,Enjoygm is a convenient option to use during big collab phases like this.
HSR Fate Collab Events (2026)
- Main Story Event: “Imagenae Holy Grail War” with multi-chapter quests, battles using collab-specific mechanics (Command Seal style systems, Grail challenges).
- Free Character Reward: Login or event participation grants a selector for Gilgamesh or Archer.
- Missions & Challenges: Plenty of Stellar Jade, upgrade materials, and exclusive cosmetics.
- Minigames & Side Activities: Expected Holy Grail War themed puzzles and combat trials.
- Long-term Access: All limited story content moves to replayable mode after the initial run.
Daily participation during the July–August 2026 is highly recommended as it creates a window to maximize your rewards.
Team Building and Play Tips for 2026 Collab
The new characters integrate smoothly with existing rosters:
- Pair Gilgamesh with Saber for strong synergy in Memory of Chaos and Apocalyptic Shadow.
- Use Rin Tohsaka in Pure Fiction or multi-wave content alongside Quantum supports.
- Both benefit from top supports like Sunday (action advance) and Robin (team buffs).
Focus on building around weakness break, energy recharge, and the unique interactions between Part 1 and Part 2 characters.
