Fellow Travelers, the Snezhnaya arc is in full swing! Version 7.2 is now live with a brand-new Electro 5-star, the Cryo Archon herself is all over the 7.3 leaks, and with a new banner every three weeks there's always a reason to open the Wish screen.
To help you stay ahead, GamsGo has compiled a complete Genshin Impact banner schedule for late 2026, updated in November 2026. From current and upcoming banners to the full 2026 rerun calendar and a pull guide for 7.2–7.3, it's all in one place. Whether you're planning your Primogem spending or buying Genshin accounts, this guide helps you put every Primogem toward the characters you actually want.
Current Genshin Impact 7.2 Banners Overview
Genshin Impact Version 7.2 officially launched on November 4, 2026, and runs until December 15. As usual, the update is split into two phases of event banners. Check out our full Genshin 7.2 banner guide for more details.
Phase 1 (November 4 – November 24)
Phase 1 introduces the brand-new 5-star Mitya, an Electro Catalyst user built around the new Stellar-Conduct mechanic. Her kit converts Superconduct reactions into Stellar-Conduct, so she's a core pick for anyone planning to build Snezhnaya's Electro teams.
Alongside her, fan-favorite Hydro support Furina returns for a rerun. Players who still don't have her should take this chance, since she fits into almost any team.
The new 4-star Valeriy, a Fatui Major and Electro Sword user, debuts on both Phase 1 banners. He provides shields and an Electro / Stellar-Conduct DMG buff, which makes him a natural partner for Mitya. Rosaria and Charlotte are the other featured 4-stars.
 Mitya (New) Element: Electro Rarity: 5-Star |  Furina (Rerun) Element: Hydro Rarity: 5-Star |  Valeriy (New) Element: Electro Rarity: 4-Star |
Phase 2 (November 24 – December 15)
Phase 2 is a double Geo rerun: the Lunar Geo adeptus Zibai and the Lunar-Crystallize support Linnea return together. The featured 4-stars haven't been announced yet. If you missed this pair in 6.3 and 6.5, this is the easiest way to build a full Lunar-Crystallize team in one phase.
 Zibai (Rerun) Element: Geo Rarity: 5-Star |  Linnea (Rerun) Element: Geo Rarity: 5-Star |
Weapon Banner & Natlan Chronicled Wish
- Epitome Invocation (Phase 1): Starsealed Edict and Splendor of Tranquil Waters
- Epitome Invocation (Phase 2): Golden Frostbound Oath and Lightbearing Moonshard
- Natlan Chronicled Wish (exact dates TBA): Varesa, Chasca, Xilonen, Kinich and Mualani return together with their signature weapons (Vivid Notions, Astral Vulture, Peak Patrol Song, Fang of the Mountain King and Surf's Up). It's a good chance to pick up a Natlan unit you missed.
Recently Ended: Genshin 7.1 Banners
In case you missed it, here's what Version 7.1 offered. Both new 5-stars, Vesna and Vodyanitsa, are part of the Stellar Swirl archetype. See our Genshin 7.1 banner guide for their kits.
Upcoming Genshin Banners & Leaks (Version 7.3)
Version 7.3 is expected to launch around December 16, 2026, following the usual six-week cycle. HoYoverse hasn't confirmed the lineup yet, so everything below comes from beta leaks and may change.
The headliner is the one everyone has been waiting for: the Tsaritsa (Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya), the Cryo Archon. Early leaks point to a Cryo Bow user built as a Stellar-Conduct main DPS, but details are still shifting between builds. She is reportedly joined by Danica, a 5-star Electro Claymore support with off-field Electro application, shields and healing. Danica looks designed to pair with both the Tsaritsa and Mitya.
 Tsaritsa (Cryo Archon) (Leak) Element: Cryo (expected) Rarity: 5-Star |  Danica (Leak) Element: Electro Rarity: 5-Star |
The same leaks list Sandrone and Lohen as the 7.3 reruns, both Cryo. They would slot neatly into Tsaritsa teams.
 Sandrone (Rerun · Leak) Element: Cryo Rarity: 5-Star |  Lohen (Rerun · Leak) Element: Cryo Rarity: 5-Star |

Long-Term Leaks: Version 7.4 and Beyond
The further out a leak goes, the less reliable it gets. Treat this roadmap as a rough guide only. Several characters fans expected in 2026, including Pantalone, Alice and the Tsaritsa in 7.0, did not appear where earlier leaks placed them.

2026 Rerun Banner Calendar
2026 turned out to be a big year for reruns. Most of the Natlan and Nod-Krai 5-stars came back at least once, and some came back twice. Here's every limited 5-star rerun of the year so far, so you can see who returns most often and when your favorite is likely to come back.
💡 Flins, Ineffa, Skirk and Escoffier each got two reruns in 2026, so if you skip a recent character, there's a fair chance they'll return within six months. Next up, leaks point to Sandrone and Lohen returning in 7.3.
Ultimate Pull Guide: v7.2 to v7.3
Here's our pull recommendation for every character on the current banners and the leaked 7.3 lineup, so you can plan your Primogem budget in advance.
Why these verdicts?
- Furina is one of the most flexible supports in the game and still boosts almost any team. If you don't have her, she's the safest pull of 7.2.
- Tsaritsa is the Cryo Archon and, if the leaks hold, the core DPS of Snezhnaya's Stellar-Conduct teams. Archons rarely rerun quickly, so she's the character most worth saving for.
- Mitya + Valeriy (and likely Danica in 7.3) form the backbone of Electro Stellar-Conduct. Pull Mitya if you want to invest in this new archetype early. Valeriy comes as a bonus on the same banner.
- Linnea is the key enabler for Lunar-Crystallize, while Zibai is mainly worth it if you plan to run that archetype. Pull Linnea first if you can only afford one.
- Lohen is a niche Cryo support. Skip him unless you're a fan or need him for a specific team.
⚠️ Saving tip: 7.3 is expected only six weeks after 7.2 launches. Remember that hard pity is 90 wishes and a guaranteed limited 5-star can take up to 180, so if the Tsaritsa is your top target, limit your 7.2 pulls to the one character you truly need.
Conclusion
From Mitya and Furina in 7.2 to the long-awaited Tsaritsa leaked for 7.3, the end of 2026 is packed with banners worth saving for.
Whether you're building the new Stellar-Conduct teams or finally completing your Lunar-Crystallize lineup, the key is to lock in your targets early and plan your Primogem spending by version.
If you run short when a banner drops, GamsGo offers up to 25% off Genesis Crystal top-ups, so every Primogem counts.
FAQ About Genshin Impact Banner
What is the current Genshin Impact banner?
The current banner is Version 7.2 Phase 1 (November 4 – November 24, 2026), featuring the new 5-star Mitya (Electro) and a Furina rerun, with the new 4-star Valeriy. Phase 2 (November 24 – December 15) brings Zibai and Linnea back together, and a Natlan Chronicled Wish also runs during 7.2.
When is the next Genshin Impact banner?
After 7.2 Phase 2, the next Genshin Impact banner should arrive with Version 7.3, expected around December 16, 2026. Leaks point to the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa and the Electro support Danica as the new 5-stars, with Sandrone and Lohen reruns. None of this is official yet.
What are the new characters in Genshin Impact 2026?
New limited 5-stars released in 2026 include Columbina, Zibai, Varka, Linnea, Nicole, Lohen, Sandrone, Odette, Vesna, Vodyanitsa and Mitya. New 4-stars include Illuga, Prune, Alyosha and Valeriy. See our new Genshin characters guide for their kits and roles.
Is Alice or Pantalone coming in 2026?
Very unlikely. Neither appears on the current leaked roadmap for the rest of 2026. One leak suggests Alice could be playable in the final Snezhnaya version (around 7.7–7.8), while Pantalone isn't on the 7.x roadmap at all. Both remain unconfirmed.
