The To the Great Unknown banner went live in Destiny: Rising on December 30, 2025, bringing Kabr, the Resolute as the featured Mythic character. The event runs through February 12, 2026, giving players over six weeks to pull for the Arc-element Mythic. In a departure from previous limited banners, Kabr, the Resolute will join the permanent banner pool once this event wraps up.
This guide breaks down all active banners, pity thresholds, drop rates, and the full rotation history.
Active Banners
Destiny: Rising runs two banner types at all times: a rotating limited draw and the permanent Rising Lights banner. Each tracks pity separately and pulls from different character pools.
To the Great Unknown (Current Limited Draw)
Kabr, the Resolute headlines the current limited banner as a Mythic-tier Arc character. This version differs from his standard Legendary form, representing Kabr after years of adventure and leading his own "legion." The banner stays active until February 12, 2026 at 14:00:00.
Attal, Xuan Wei, and Ikora round out the Legendary rate-ups.
To the Great Unknown uses the "Target" banner format, meaning the guaranteed Mythic at pity is always Kabr, the Resolute. That guarantee kicks in at 60 draws. The probability breakdown looks like this:
- Mythic Characters: 1.000% base rate, 2.520% weighted (with guarantee factored in)
- Legendary Characters: 4.167% base rate, 11.288% weighted (with guarantee factored in)
Event-exclusive "Bon Voyage" Charms drop during this period. Once the banner ends, Kabr, the Resolute moves into The Rising Lights permanent pool, so players who miss him here will have future chances.
The Rising Lights (Permanent Banner)
The Rising Lights never rotates, providing a reliable way to build rosters between limited events.
Featured Mythics: Jolder, Ning Fei, Tan-2
Featured Legendaries: Umeko, Kabr, Ikora, Attal, Finnala, Xuan Wei, Rossi-11
Bad-luck protection guarantees a Mythic after a set number of pulls, though Gwynn sits outside this safety net.
At 180 total draws, players unlock a Mythic selector that lets them pick any permanent Mythic directly. No luck required.
Pity System
Both banner types include pity mechanics to prevent brutal dry streaks.
Limited Banner Pity
Target banners lock in the featured Mythic at 60 draws. Because of the Target format, that guaranteed pull will always be the advertised character (Kabr, the Resolute on the current banner).
Permanent Banner Pity
The Rising Lights guarantees a Mythic after hitting a specific pull threshold, with Gwynn excluded from the pool. The 180-draw selector gives players a guaranteed path to any permanent Mythic without gambling.
Banner Schedule
Limited banners typically follow a four-week cycle, though the current To the Great Unknown event stretches to roughly six weeks. New banners launch immediately when the previous one ends.

Upcoming Banners
Nothing has been announced beyond To the Great Unknown. Based on the established rotation, the next limited banner should arrive around February 12, 2026.
The extended duration of the current event may signal some flexibility in future scheduling, but the game has otherwise stuck to a consistent monthly cadence.
Pulling Strategy
New Players
The Rising Lights works well as a starting point. The 180-draw selector guarantees access to strong Mythics like Jolder and Ning Fei without any deadline pressure. New accounts can stockpile resources while progressing toward that milestone naturally.
Veteran Players
Limited banners remain the primary avenue for roster growth. Target banners guarantee the featured Mythic at 60 draws, so saving that amount before a desired banner secures the character.
The current situation presents an interesting choice: since Kabr, the Resolute joins the permanent pool after the event, veterans might hold their limited pulls for future exclusive characters instead.
General Notes
- Standard four-week windows (and the current six-week extension) leave room to save pulls through regular play
- Target banners remove the risk of getting an off-banner Mythic at pity
- The permanent selector serves better as a long-term goal than a primary focus
- Characters confirmed to join the permanent pool post-event offer more flexibility on timing
Summary
To the Great Unknown runs through February 12, 2026, with Kabr, the Resolute as the featured Arc Mythic. The extended six-week duration breaks from the usual four-week pattern. The Rising Lights permanent banner continues offering Jolder, Ning Fei, and Tan-2, plus that 180-draw selector for guaranteed acquisition.
Pity sits at 60 draws for limited banners. Kabr, the Resolute moving to the permanent pool after this event gives players some breathing room on whether to pull now or wait.
