The Honkai: Star Rail x Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works has been one of the more talked-about collabs ever since it was first teased sometime late last year. HoYo is not usually known for their collabs, and with their only other collab unit being a disgrace that no one wants to talk about, we’re looking at you, Alloy, players have been a bit skeptical about the collab and what it will actually deliver on. Well, luckily for us, HoYo didn’t disappoint, at least not yet! The collaboration between HSR and Fate will introduce two new units to HSR, both of which come from the Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works anime. Discover more details about them below!

Collaboration Units
This collaboration will introduce two new units to the game, both of which come from the Unlimited Blade Works anime, which was released back in 2014 and took the world by storm due to its unheard of animation for the time, which a lot of people speculate had to do with the studio’s unreal budget, hence the nickname Unlimited Budget Works. The anime has become one of the more popular Fate media, standing toe-to-toe with the behemoth that is Fate Grand Order. The IP has had its fair share of collaborations, and collaboration with HSR is yet another of its huge milestones, which also just happens to be a huge milestone for HSR as well, given that the game has not had any previous collaborations that have introduced new units to the game. But luckily, this collab compensates by introducing two new 5-star units for us to get!

Saber
Saber, a 5-star Wind Destruction unit and one of the main protagonists of the Fate IP. Saber is one of the staple characters in the Fate franchise, being present in almost all of them in one form or another. In Unlimited Blade Works, Saber also takes on a huge role, being the familiar of the main protagonist.
In HSR, Saber will take on the role of a 5-star Wind Destruction unit, which players will be able to obtain through a special banner known as the [Special Collaboration Warp]. This collaboration warp will begin on July 11, 2025, and will be available over a long period of time. Sadly, this collaboration warp will not share pity with other warp types, e.g., the Character Event Warp, so you'd better start saving those pulls if you want to have a shot at getting Saber!
There is sadly no information about Saber’s kit yet, or if she will have constellations that we will have to pull for. Stay tuned for more information about that in the future!

Archer
Archer is another stale unit in the Unlimited Blade Works anime. He, too, is a familiar of one of the main protagonists of the series, but his story is deeper than that. We won’t be spoiling any more than that in case you haven’t watched the anime, so do not worry! In HSR, Archer will take on the role of a 5-star Quantum unit following the Path of the Hunt, and we can clearly see from his promotional image that we can expect him to wield a ton of swords to fight his enemies. Yanqing might just have some serious competition going into Version 3.4!
Luckily for us, unlike Saber, Archer will be available for FREE for players who log into the game following July 11, 2025. That is right; we will be able to get this unit completely for free just by logging in. Archer will be available until the end of Version 3.6, so make sure to log in at least once after July 11, 2025, to get him as a unit on your account!
Similar to Saber, there is currently not much information regarding Archer’s kit, but we will make sure to keep you updated whenever more information about those is revealed!
