Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this “Genshin Impact banners” thing for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s a whole thing. First off, I needed to figure out what the heck these “banners” even were. Turns out, they’re basically like, limited-time events where you can try to get new characters or weapons in the game.
So, I started by just reading whatever I could find online. There’s a bunch of stuff on the official Genshin Impact wiki, some random articles, and a ton of forum posts. I kinda just dove in headfirst, you know?
What did I do first? I wanted to get a handle on the current stuff, so I looked up the “current banners.” Right now, it seems like there are these two new 5-star characters named Mavuika and Citlali. Mavuika is a Pyro character and uses a claymore, which sounds pretty cool. They call her banner “Ancient Flame Ablaze.” Then there’s Citlali, but I didn’t really focus on her.
Next, I got curious about the upcoming banners. From what I gathered, version 5.3 is coming up, and everyone’s hyped about it. And it is said that version 4.8 will bring us a new 5-star character named Emilie. She’s featured on something called the “In the Name of the Rosula Banner.” No new 4-stars in this one, though.
- Checked past banners: I looked into some older banners, like the ones from version 3.7. There was this Yoimiya, a Pyro 5-star, on the “Tapestry of Golden Flames” banner, and Yae Miko, an Electro 5-star, on the “Everbloom Violet” banner. And apparently, there was this Kirara character featured on both of those.
- Looked at future banners: After that, I tried to find out what’s coming after the current ones. I saw something about Zhongli and Neuvillette coming up after the present banners. Their weapons are going to be featured, too – the “Vortex Vanquisher” polearm and the “Tome of the Eternal Flow” catalyst.
What did I learn?
Well, keeping track of these banners is like a full-time job. There’s always something new coming, and if you’re serious about getting specific characters or weapons, you gotta stay on top of it. Plus, there are these “phases” within each version, so it gets even more complicated.
Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming at first. But once I started breaking it down and focusing on one thing at a time, it became more manageable. Still, I’ve got a lot more to learn about this whole Genshin Impact banner system. It’s like its own little world within the game!
