June 25, 2025: Ineffa has been confirmed as a new version 5.8 character! Also, now that version 5.7 is out, the leaks for 5.8 have revealed possible banner reruns occurring in this year's summer patch. So we've updated the next banner sections with Ineffa details and the reliable leaked information. We'll continue to update this page as more information is revealed or leaked.
The banners in Genshin Impact are constantly changing, so it's a good idea to keep track of what the current banners and next banners are, to prepare for a sudden hit to your precious Primogem reserves.
Limited-time rotating banners are called 'Event Wishes' in Genshin, and they usually run for three weeks. An Event Wish Banner is never gone for long though, as another one—with a different set of characters—will soon take its place. Your Primogems are never safe!
You use the Intertwined Fate currency to pull (referred to as 'Wishing' in-game) on these Event Wish Banners. If you see you're using something called Acquaint Fate, then you're wishing on Genshin's permanent banner or Beginner's Banner instead. It's a good idea to always convert your Primogems into Intertwined Fate to save up for Event Wish Banners, as it's much harder to get characters only available for a limited-time than it is to get characters in the permanent banner. But you do you! As somebody who only pulled for Xilonen because I wanted to roller skate across Teyvat, I'm not one to judge.
Next banners in Genshin Impact
Mavuika and Emilie are are on the next banners in Genshin Impact. They will replace the current limited-time character banners on Tuesday, July 8 during Phase 2 of version 5.7.
Mavuika a returning five-star pyro claymore-user on her Ancient Flame Ablaze Banner, and Emilie, a returning five-star dendro polearm-user on her Ambrosial Essence Banner.
I'm sorry to the three Emilie stans out there, but this is thankfully an easy choice for most people. It's hard to say no to pulling for the pyro Archon when the other five-star rerun isn't relevant to the story or meta. That's actually quite an achievement—well done Emilie!
5.8 banners in Genshin Impact
Ineffa is a new character on the version 5.8 banners in Genshin Impact, with Ineffa a new five-star electro polearm-user. Her inclusion was made official through Ineffa's drip marketing on Genshin Impact's social media channels.
Although there is no official information on the other characters in version 5.8 yet, thanks to the reliable leak source homdgcat.wiki it's all but confirmed that Citlali, Chasca, and Mualani are also on the version 5.8 banners. With Citlali a returning five-star cryo catalyst-user, Chasca a returning five-star anemo bow-user, and Mualani a returning five-star hydro catalyst-user.
While a Nod-Krai robot gal and a Citlali rerun are tempting in particular, it's worth keeping in mind for your pulling plans that these will be the last banners before a whole host of new characters from the new region of Nod-Krai are set to be revealed. So maybe hold off on pulling with your spare Primogems (if you're lucky enough to have any spare!) until the Nod-Krai teaser trailer is released.
You never know who might steal your heart, or wallet, next.
Current banners in Genshin Impact
Skirk and Shenhe are the current banners in Genshin Impact, with new four-star character Dahlia debuting on both of their banners, which are set to end on Tuesday, July 8.
Skirk is a new five-star cryo sword-user on her Void Star's Advent Banner, Shenhe is a returning five-star cryo polearm-user on her The Transcendent One Returns Banner, and Dahlia is a new four-star hydro sword-user on both their banners.
The boosted four-star characters on Skirk and Shenhe's current banners are:
- Dahlia (Hydro, sword-user)
- Candace (Hydro, polearm-user)
- Diona (Cryo, bow-user)
It's been 18 months since Skirk popped up to throw Childe into a portal at the end of Fontaine's story, and four years since Dahlia was first mentioned in-game, so it's nice to see miHoYo didn't forget about them after all. I wish the same could be said about Genshin's Switch port and anime adaptation.
Next weapon banner in Genshin Impact
Here's what's on the next weapon banner in Phase 2 of version 5.7 in Genshin Impact:
- A Thousand Blazing Suns - Mavuika's signature claymore
- Lumidouce Elegy - Emilie's signature polearm
The four-star weapons are yet to be revealed, but I'll pop a list of them here when the official details are available.
Current weapon banner in Genshin Impact
