Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 brings a film-themed combat event that runs from October 21 to November 11, 2026. Interastral Peace Gala: One Take puts you on a movie set where every fight is a scene, every kill is a performance, and the director is watching your rating in real time. Five stages unlock daily, each with its own cast of designated characters and a unique mechanic you need to master to walk away with the top rewards.
How does Interastral Peace Gala: One Take work?
The event has two layers. Every stage opens in Audition mode first. Clear it, and you unlock Performance mode for that same stage. Performance mode adds more Challenge Goals and opens all Supporting Actor slots, so it's where the bulk of the rewards come from.
Here's the short answer on the core loop:
- Pick a script and assemble a team from the stage's designated characters.
- Trigger the stage's Story Setting mechanic during combat to build Highlight Energy.
- Fill the Highlight Energy gauge to enter Highlight, which activates a special ability for your Lead Actor.
- Complete Challenge Goals in Performance mode to earn rating rewards and push toward a Perfect Curtain Call.
The system also auto-enhances your characters if they fall below the event's stat threshold, so underleveled units get a temporary boost. You can use the designated trial versions if you don't own the characters outright.
Highlight Energy fills mid-fight
All 5 stage guides
Day 1: Banners fluttering in azure skies
Cast: Feixiao, Aventurine (Waveflair), Mortenax Blade, Hyacine
This stage's Story Setting rewards you for attacking marked enemies. Hitting marked targets delays their turns and advances your own team's actions forward on the turn order. The faster your team cycles, the quicker you build Highlight Energy and raise your Punchline counter, which increases the damage of the Aha Instant ability.
The mistake most players make here is ignoring the marks and just attacking whatever has the lowest HP. Trust me on this one: focus the marked targets even if they're not the biggest threat. Use Mortenax Blade's Ultimate to apply debuffs, then activate Feixiao's Ultimate after she enters Highlight to stack Punchlines fast.
Day 2: Equation No. 42
Cast: The Herta, Permansor Terrae, Himeko (Nova), Robin (Summeretto)
This stage summons units called Borrowed Force onto the field. When a Borrowed Force unit reaches 0 HP, it deals a hit of Fixed DMG against all enemies. The key: defeating multiple Borrowed Force units simultaneously multiplies the number of damage instances. One at a time gives you one hit. Three at once gives you three.
Before The Herta enters Highlight, use single-target attacks to bring all Borrowed Force units to roughly the same HP level, then hit them with AoE to wipe them together. Once The Herta reaches Highlight, her Skill automatically defeats all Borrowed Force on cast, so you can stop managing HP parity and go all out.
Day 3: Soulfire paranormal warding
Cast: Huohuo, Bailu, Gallagher, Luocha
This is the healing stage. The entire mechanic runs on keeping your team's HP topped off. To get Huohuo into Highlight, heal her up to Max HP before the trigger. Once she's in Highlight, a random ally gets marked as Possessed. Redirect all healing to the Possessed unit immediately. Each time that ally is healed back to full, Huohuo recovers a large chunk of her own HP. When Huohuo hits Max HP during Highlight, she unleashes a Wind DMG hit on all enemies. The damage multiplier stacks every time you trigger it, so the more healing cycles you complete, the harder each hit lands.
Day 4: Iron Cavalry: Ashes of the Firmament
This stage unlocks October 24, 2026. Stage-specific mechanics will be confirmed once it goes live.
Day 5: Devil's Waltz
This stage unlocks October 25, 2026. Stage-specific mechanics will be confirmed once it goes live.
What are all the rewards?
Each of the 5 stages pays out the same reward structure across Audition and Performance modes. Here's the full per-stage breakdown:
| Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Complete Audition mode | 30 Stellar Jade, 2 Refined Aether, 20,000 Credits |
| Complete 1 Performance Challenge Goal | 30 Stellar Jade, 2 Traveler's Guide, 3 Lost Crystal |
| Complete 2 Performance Challenge Goals | 20 Stellar Jade, 2 Refined Aether, 20,000 Credits |
| Complete 3 Performance Challenge Goals | 20 Stellar Jade, 40 Relic Remains, 2 Traveler's Guide |
Multiply that across all 5 stages and the total comes to 500 Stellar Jade, plus the following across the full event:
- 1 Tracks of Destiny (complete all Performance modes with at least 2 Challenge Goals each)
- 200 Relic Remains
- 20 Traveler's Guide
- 20 Refined Aether
- 15 Lost Crystal
- 200,000 Credits
- 1 Silver Screen Legend Medal (Perfect Curtain Call on all scripts)
- 1,400 Nameless EXP for the Battle Pass (complete all Audition modes)
How do you get the Silver Screen Legend medal?
Here's the short answer: earn a Perfect Curtain Call on every single script. That means clearing all waves in Performance mode with at least 2 Cycles left on the clock.
The medal unlocks a display slot on the Medal of Honor wall in the Trailblazer's Room. It's cosmetic, but it's the kind of thing that sits on your profile permanently.
The fastest path to a Perfect Curtain Call is reading each stage's Challenge Goals before you build your team. A team optimized for the director's specific task will outperform a stronger team that ignores the mechanics every time. If you're struggling with a particular stage, swap one unit to better match the required mechanic rather than grinding the same comp repeatedly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Skipping Audition mode: You have to complete Audition before Performance unlocks. Don't assume you can jump straight to the harder difficulty.
- Ignoring the Story Setting: The stage-specific mechanics aren't flavor. They're the damage multiplier. A team that ignores the Story Setting will hit a ceiling that raw stats can't break through.
- Saving co-stars for emergencies: Highlight Moments are designed to be used mid-fight, not held as a last resort. Using them at the right moment builds your rating; hoarding them wastes turns.
- Missing the daily unlock schedule: Stages open one per day starting October 21. Don't leave Days 4 and 5 until the last week or you'll be rushing.
Pro tips for max rewards
- The event's auto-enhancement system means you can attempt every stage even if your roster is underdeveloped. The system mirrors your characters at a baseline level, so participation is always worth it.
- Battle Pass Nameless EXP from this event (1,400 total) doesn't count toward the weekly 8,000 EXP cap, making it pure bonus progress.
- One Take runs alongside other Version 4.6 events, so it's worth clearing Audition modes first across all five stages to secure the Battle Pass EXP, then returning for Performance clears.

FAQ
Can I use my own characters instead of the trial versions? Yes. You can swap in your own copies of the designated characters. If your version of a character doesn't meet the event's stat threshold, the system automatically enhances them for the duration of the event.
What happens if I miss a daily stage unlock? Stages remain available after they unlock. Missing Day 2's opening doesn't lock you out; you can still clear it any time before November 11.
Is the Tracks of Destiny worth grinding for? Absolutely. Tracks of Destiny is one of the rarest upgrade materials in the game and completing all Performance modes with 2 Challenge Goals each is the only event requirement to claim it.
Does difficulty scale with my Trailblaze Level? The event has a fixed baseline. The auto-enhancement system adjusts underleveled characters upward, but there's no scaling penalty for higher-level accounts.
