Do not let two words—“Phase II”—spend your Stellar Jades for you. Pearl has not left. The official Phase II notice explicitly keeps her window open while adding Mortenax Blade’s rerun. Read each window before making a panic pull.

Three separate HSR 4.6 clocks: bug-compensation login, character banners, and version end
Notice-based deadline comparison, not a worldwide server countdown.

The boosted 4-stars are Qingque, Xueyi and Misha. The two Character Event Warps share their guarantee counter. Light Cone Event Warps share a different counter; character pulls do not advance it.

Decision: if you still want Pearl, check her own banner rather than assuming the phase handover removed her. If considering the rerun, use Aptitude Showcase after unlocking Travel Log. The notice establishes availability and trials, not which character improves your particular account more.

The earlier deadline is in your mailbox

Quick check: it is 23 October. Did the phase switch remove Pearl?

No. Both windows remain listed through 10 November 15:00 server time. The urgent clock for eligible returners is the earlier bug-compensation login cutoff, not an imaginary early Pearl deadline.

The 4.6 update details distinguish:

ItemEligibility / actionCutoff
300 bug-compensation Stellar JadesTrailblaze level 4 before 28 September 06:00 UTC+8; log in for mail28 October 23:59 UTC+8
300 maintenance Stellar JadesSame pre-update level requirement; claim mailBefore 4.6 ends
Version 4.6 itselfVersion boundary, not a banner or mail deadline11 November 06:00 UTC+8

Claim eligible mail before planning your remaining pulls. The two 300-Jade payments are not new Phase II gifts and a post-update account may not qualify. Read the mail’s own expiry too.

A pet draw is not a character pull

4.6 gives Trendible Vouchers through Astral Imagea activities. Those vouchers are used in Astral Trendible for pets; do not add them to a character-pull budget.

For example, Park Souvenir lists six vouchers for players at Trailblaze level 4, while Wishpower UP! Down with Voracity! lists 18 vouchers and 500 Stellar Jades behind its participation and progress requirements. They are different rewards with different uses—not “24 limited-character pulls.” Only count rewards your account can still obtain.

The practical return route

  1. Check the eligible compensation mail before 28 October’s login cutoff.
  2. Open each character banner’s Details and your shared character guarantee counter.
  3. Play the trials before committing materials or pulls.
  4. At Trailblaze level 21, check the new Interastral Peace Gala: One Take activity; it runs from 21 October 12:00 server time to 11 November 03:59 UTC+8.
  5. Keep pet vouchers separate from Stellar Jades and Special Passes in your budget.

Scope: official English and Traditional Chinese text checked on 23 October. No account login, reward claim, damage test or predicted 4.7 date. “Server time” is preserved where the publisher uses it; no single worldwide banner countdown is inferred.
