HSR Top-Up Bonus Reset Date
The 2026 Honkai: Star Rail first-time top-up double bonus reset is scheduled for April 22, 2026, alongside the release of Version 4.2. HoYoverse confirmed that Version 4.2 launches on April 22 during the official Special Program
What Is the Honkai Star Rail Top-Up Bonus Refresh?
First-time top-up bonus refresh is an event in Honkai: Star Rail. When you make your first top-up, you get the usual rewards plus double the Oneiric Shard. Oneiric Shards can be exchanged for Stellar Jade at a 1:1 ratio. It’s a great way to score more Star Rail Special Passes for new characters and powerful Light Cones, giving you a stronger team build and a smoother journey through the game.
This is a strategy to encourage players to top-up, as it allows them to gain more resources early on, helping them level up characters or perform pulls more quickly.
-
All Oneiric Shard top-up tier will be refreshed to first-time double bonus status.
-
After the refresh, each top-up tier will once again offer a first-time top-up bonus.
-
This bonus can only be claimed once per tier—after that, purchases will return to the normal rate.
Cherished Recollection 2026 Event Rewards
Version 4.2 is not just about the reset. The anniversary patch also includes Cherished Recollection, a cumulative Oneiric Shard event that runs from April 22 to June 1, 2026. During the event, obtaining Oneiric Shards increases your milestone progress and unlocks extra rewards.
According to the current event details, eligible Oneiric Shard sources include direct purchases, certain gift packs, and Express Supply Pass purchases.
Here are the milestone rewards listed for Cherished Recollection in Version 4.2:
- 300 Oneiric Shards: Self-Modeling Resin ×2
- 2,000 Oneiric Shards: Fuel ×10
- 4,000 Oneiric Shards: Variable Dice ×2
- 8,000 Oneiric Shards: Light Cone Memory Shard ×4
- 12,000 Oneiric Shards: Interference Key ×1
- 18,000 Oneiric Shards: Golden Companion Spirit ×1
- 25,000 Oneiric Shards: Pet Furbobo Press Corps ×1
The final reward is especially notable. Furbobo Press Corps is a new pet reward tied to the event’s highest milestone, and it is an overworld companion that follows the Trailblazer around.
Why the 2026 HSR Anniversary Matters
Version 4.2 is Honkai: Star Rail’s third-anniversary patch, and HoYoverse is treating it like a major celebration. The official 4.2 program confirmed the release of Silver Wolf LV.999 and Evanescia.
That means the top-up reset arrives during one of the busiest banner periods of the year. If you are planning to pull on the 4.2 anniversary banners, recharge for Light Cones, or push toward milestone rewards, this reset is much more relevant than a normal shop refresh.
One more important note: before Version 3.2 arrives, if any Trailblazers haven’t used their first-time top-up bonus yet, make sure to claim it! The double 6480+6480 bonus will be a huge help in pulling for upcoming characters and Light Cones in future updates!
