  "textContent": "Pixel Plane Rumble is the air combat event running in Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3, where you build and upgrade an aircraft, then send it into dogfights against rival planes across Planarcadia. It runs from June 1 to July 15, 2026, and pays out Stellar Jade, Tracks of Destiny, Self-Modeling Resin, and a new speech bubble theme called Above the Firmament.\n\n**Quick answer:** Finish the Unraveled for Daybreak Trailblaze Mission to unlock the event, or reach Trailblaze Level 21 or higher to start it early through Finality's Vision while the event is live.\n\n* * *\n\nPixel Plane Rumble main screen. Credit: HoYoverse\n\n### Pixel Plane Rumble event period and requirements\n\nThe event is active now and stays open for several weeks, so there is no rush to clear everything in one sitting. Here are the key details in one place.\n\nDetail| Information\n---|---\nEvent period| June 1 – July 15, 2026\nUnlock requirement| Complete the Unraveled for Daybreak Trailblaze Mission\nEarly unlock| Trailblaze Level 21 or higher (via Finality's Vision)\nBonus reward| Above the Firmament speech bubble theme\n\n* * *\n\n### How to unlock Pixel Plane Rumble\n\nThe standard way in is to finish the **Unraveled for Daybreak** Trailblaze Mission series, the 4.3 story content tied to Planarcadia. Once that mission chain is complete, the event becomes available from the event menu.\n\nIf you have not reached that point in the story, there is a shortcut. Players at Trailblaze Level 21 or higher can use Finality's Vision, a temporary entry point available only while the event is running, to jump straight into Pixel Plane Rumble without clearing the prerequisite mission first.\n\n💡\n\nIf you are below Trailblaze Level 21 and have not finished the story, raising your Trailblaze Level is the faster of the two routes to early access.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to play the dogfights\n\nPixel Plane Rumble plays out as a series of dogfight stages. Clearing them lets you climb through Planarcadia's classic air combat game and collect the event rewards as you go.\n\n**Step 1:** Enter a dogfight stage from the event screen. Each stage pits your plane against incoming opponents that you need to shoot down while staying alive.\n\nBuying gear to upgrade your aircraft.

You can buy different gear types, each with its own effect, so pick the parts that suit how you want to fight a given stage.\n\n**Step 3:** Fly the stage and defeat the opposing planes. Your equipped gear carries you through, so survive the enemy fire and clear out the opponents to finish the challenge.\n\n* * *\n\n### Pixel Plane Rumble rewards\n\nCompleting the event hands out the Above the Firmament speech bubble theme, which changes how your in-game messages look. Alongside it, the full clear pays out premium materials and currency.\n\nAbove the Firmament speech bubble reward.

Clear each one to collect its payout before the event ends.\n\nObjective| Rewards\n---|---\nChampion's Course| 320 Stellar Jade, 1 Tracks of Destiny, 8 Traveler's Guide, 8 Lost Crystal, 8 Wine of Phagousa, 320,000 Credit\nAviation Records| 400 Stellar Jade, 8 Traveler's Guide, 8 Refined Aether, 8 Lost Crystal, 32 Wine of Phagousa, 80,000 Credit\nAce Squadron| 250 Stellar Jade, 8 Traveler's Guide, 8 Refined Aether, 8 Lost Crystal, 240,000 Credit\nComplete all Missions| 1 Self-Modeling Resin\n\nYou will know an objective is done when its entry in the event menu marks as complete and the listed rewards drop into your inventory.\n\n* * *\n\n### Battle Pass Nameless EXP from the event\n\nPixel Plane Rumble also feeds into your Nameless Honor Battle Pass. Two objectives award Nameless EXP, for a combined total of 3,500 EXP toward your pass.\n\nObjective| Nameless EXP\n---|---\nUnlock all Pixel Planes in the event| 2,100\nComplete the Ultimate Showdown stage| 1,400\n\nBecause the event window stretches to July 15, you have room to unlock every plane and finish the Ultimate Showdown stage at your own pace. Grab the limited-time objective rewards first, since those carry the bulk of the Stellar Jade, then mop up the remaining missions for the final Self-Modeling Resin and your speech bubble.",
