What Is The Current And Next Genshin Impact Banner? - PCGamesN

Genshin Impact banners rotate every few weeks on a precise schedule, and we always know what to expect thanks to regular updates from Hoyoverse. The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular livestreams and social media updates, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned Primogems.

With a three-week turnaround for banners, the roster of Genshin Impact characters is constantly changing, and the free PC game regularly introduces two new characters to wish for. Every limited-time character banner, or event wish, contains a five-star character and three four-star characters with increased drop rates. There's also a Genshin Impact weapon banner, which runs alongside each character banner and changes weapons every update.

Genshin Impact current character event banners

The first phase of Genshin Impact banners in the 6.3 update launched on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and they're set to end on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Zibai is the five-star character on the Harmonious Abundance banner, and Neuvillette returns as the five-star character on the Decree of the Deeps banner.

Harmonious Abundance banner:

• Zibai
• Illuga
• Aino
• Gorou

Decree of the Deeps banner:

• Neuvillette
• Illuga
• Aino
• Gorou

To obtain the characters featured on these character banners, you will need to spend money on Primogems to purchase Intertwined Fates. These items cost 160 Primogems each, and you'll need at least ten of them to guarantee one four-star or higher reward. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll pull a character; sometimes you may receive a four-star weapon.

Genshin Impact current weapon banner

The Genshin Impact weapon pity system gives you the chance to strengthen your characters with a variety of four and five-star weapons on offer. Like the character banners, you'll need to spend some Primogems to wish for these weapons.

For the current Epitome Invocation banner, Lightbearing Moonshard is Zibai's best weapon, and Tome of the Eternal Flow is Neuvillette's best weapon.

The featured weapons on the current Epitome Invocation banner are:

• Lightbearing Moonshard
• Tome of the Eternal Flow
• Xiphos' Moonlight
• Favonius Greatsword
• Dragon's Bane
• Eye of Perception
• Favonius Warbow

The five-star weapons are always the best-in-slot weapons for the characters featured on the banners. If you want to get the most out of your brand-new character, you're going to want to pull on the latest weapon banner.

Next Genshin Impact character event banners

Genshin Impact 6.4 is set to include Varka, the leader of the Knights of Favonius. You can learn about the trio in our Genshin Impact new characters guide.

Genshin Impact Chronicled Wish banner

The Chronicled Wish banner last returned in Genshin Impact 6.0, giving players a chance to obtain characters, alongside their signature weapons, from the Sumeru region. The Rowing Chalice of Dewgrass Chronicled Wish banner ran from September 9 to 30.

Here are all the five-star characters featured in the Rowing Chalice of Dewgrass Chronicled Wish banner:

• Dehya
• Alhaitham
• Wanderer
• Cyno
