Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Ornament Guide: Planar Fission Double Drops and Memory of Chaos
how to pace your resources in Honkai: Star Rail 4.6, covering the best use of Planar Fission double drops, Relic and Planar Ornament priorities, team building for Memory of Chaos this period, and the windows for Pearl's banner and Proliferating Blooms.
Applicable version: 4.6 "Before the Moon Rises, Dance with Beasts" (live 2026-09-28)
Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 overview: Planar Fission and the event timeline
Three double-drop tracks define the 4.6 rhythm: ornaments, materials and promotion points.
When each double track opens
Planar Fission opens Planar Ornament double drops from 11:00 on 11 October ; Proliferating Blooms doubles progression materials from 30 October to 11 November; and Currency Wars Zero-Sum runs a double promotion-point mode . Tracking the three separately matters, because they pull your stamina in different directions across the same fortnight. Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Ornament farming therefore clusters in mid to late October.
What the patch added
Version 4.6 "Before the Moon Rises, Dance with Beasts" went live 2026-09-28, pushing the main story into the Thousand Star City research institute arc while adding limited 5-star Pearl and her Light Cone Colors for Tomorrow . Pin the timeline down first; deciding when to spend stamina ahead of time beats scrolling patch notes at midnight.
Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Ornament farming: best use of the doubles
Double runs are limited, so they only pay off where you were going to farm anyway.
Start with your current carry's ornaments
Planar Ornament main stats set the ceiling, so get a workable combination for the carry before hunting sub-stats . If your carry's ornaments are unfinished, every double is well spent there.
Do not spend doubles on sub-DPS pieces
Sub-DPS ornament sets change often, so double runs into a sub-DPS get diluted the moment the team shifts . Save doubles for characters who hold a slot long term. The test is simple: if a character appeared in your last three end-game clears, they get the doubles; if they rotated out, they wait.
Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Relic and ornament priorities
Each slot does a different job, so do not farm them with the same logic.
| Slot | Function | Priority | Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planar Ornament | Main stats set the ceiling | High | Carry first |
| Relic set | Set effect | High | Match the carry |
| Relic off-pieces | Sub-stat top-up | Medium | Patch a small gap |
| Generic defence | Survival | Low | Healer just needs enough |
Set first, sub-stats second
Get the set bonus before chasing sub-stats. Set effects are deterministic and sub-stats are probability, so the set raises your damage floor first . Plenty of players do the reverse, farming a pile of high-sub-stat off-pieces while the set bonus stays one piece short, and the panel looks good while the output wobbles.
When to use off-pieces
When you are a hair short on crit or speed, a high-sub-stat off-piece beats forcing a set . It is a bridge, not a destination, so keep farming the set you actually want while the off-piece holds the line.
Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Memory of Chaos team building
The end-game content rotates each period, and teams follow the current environment.
This period's Apocalyptic Shadow lean
This period's Memory of Chaos content leans toward Elation teams, with extra-turn damage amplification feeling smoother . If your roster is thin on Elation, treat it as a skip rather than a forcing exercise. If you own Elation characters, this rotation is worth attacking first.
Memory of Chaos rotation rhythm
Memory of Chaos, Apocalyptic Shadow and Pure Fiction rotate on a cycle . Check the period's buffs and weaknesses before committing a team rather than forcing a fixed lineup. A rotating environment rewards players with one or two finished teams far more than those holding a shelf of half-built ones.
Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 banner planning
The two 4.6 banners close on different dates, which is easy to mix up.
Pearl's banner versus Fei Ying's rerun
Pearl's banner runs to 10 November, while Fei Ying's rerun closes on 21 October. If you want Pearl you have time; if you want Fei Ying you move before 21 October. Write the two dates down somewhere visible, because the shorter window is the one people miss.
Is Pearl worth pulling
Pearl is a defensive support who absorbs damage for the team through her passive, advances allies with her Ultimate and heals and cleanses debuffs, raising the margin for error in high-pressure stages . Teams missing a survival slot gain most. Bear in mind she is a support rather than a healer, so read whether your team is short on damage mitigation or on raw recovery before slotting her in.Full archive at gghubs.com guides.
