Version 4.2 runs from April 22 to May 31, 2026, and splits its limited banners into two standard three‑week phases. You will choose between two new 5‑star units—Silver Wolf LV.999 and Evanescia—alongside several reruns and featured 4‑stars.
Both newcomers follow the Path of Elation, which matters during limited modes and within the Planarcadia arc. If you plan to engage with Elation-focused buffs in events or Divergent Universe, each unit gains practical long-term value.
Phase 1 (April 22 – May 13, 2026)
New 5‑Star Character
- Silver Wolf LV.999 – Imaginary, Path of Elation
Signature Light Cone
- Welcome to the Cosmic City
5‑Star Reruns
- The Dahlia
- Castorice
- Firefly
Featured 4‑Stars
- Gallagher
- Xueyi
- Hook
If you prioritize performance and broad team value, Silver Wolf LV.999 stands out. Her kit includes one of the game’s rare global passive effects, which can influence battles beyond standard stat scaling.
Her overall utility appears stronger on paper compared to her counterpart. However, final damage values and scaling details remain subject to change as official numbers become fully confirmed.
You should also consider her built‑in randomness. Some of her mechanics rely on variable outcomes, which may not suit you if you prefer predictable rotations and consistent results.
Phase 2 (May 13 – May 31, 2026)
New 5‑Star Character
- Evanescia – Physical, Path of Elation
Signature Light Cone
- Until the Flowers Bloom Again
5‑Star Reruns
- Tribbie
- Sunday
- Feixiao
Featured 4‑Stars
- Guinaifen
- Lynx
- Sushang
Evanescia offers a more straightforward playstyle compared to Silver Wolf LV.999. If you dislike randomness in core mechanics, you may find her design more stable and easier to manage.
Early beta impressions of her kit were mixed. Subsequent adjustments improved expectations, and with proper investment, she can perform effectively in endgame content.
Choosing Where to Spend Your Stellar Jades
You should always prioritize characters you personally enjoy. Aesthetic preference and attachment often matter more than small performance differences.
If you focus strictly on meta efficiency, Silver Wolf LV.999 currently appears to offer higher overall account value due to her unique passive and flexible impact. Players who optimize team strength may lean toward her banner.
If you value consistency or prefer Evanescia’s design and playstyle, she remains a viable choice. Both units benefit from Elation synergy throughout the current narrative arc, so neither lacks system support during this period.
Your final decision depends on three factors:
- Meta priority vs. personal preference
- Tolerance for RNG-based mechanics
- Existing roster needs and Light Cone availability
Plan your pulls around your pity count, saved Stellar Jades, and long-term banner expectations.
