New Collaboration Event Warps
For all of the Collaboration Event Warps, you must use Star Rail Special Passes. In addition, all 4-Star characters and Light Cones have an equal drop rate. Unlike the other Event Warps, the Collaboration Event Warps will remain available in-game beyond Version 3.4. The Collaboration Event Warps also share a guarantee warp count with each other, but not with other types of Warps.
Starting from July 11th at 12:00 (server time), players can warp for Saber on the Collaboration Warp Excalibur Excelsior! In addition, her signature Light Cone, A Thankless Coronation, will be available on the Collaboration Warp Birth of a King.
As well on July 11th, players can also warp for Archer on the Collaboration Warp I Am the Bone of My Sword. In addition, his signature Light Cone, The Hell Where Ideals Burn, will be available on the Collaboration Warp Red Radiance of Fuyuki.
Players can also obtain a free copy of Archer through the Collaboration Benefits event. From the Fate Gift event, his signature Light Cone is also available after spending at least 200 Star Rail Special Passes on the Event Warps in Version 3.4. For more information on the Collaboration Benefits event, see our guide below.
