Current Genshin Banner: Skirk and Escoffier (Version 7.1 Phase 2)
Skirk and Escoffier's rerun banners are live now in Phase 2 of Version 7.1, from October 13, 2026 to November 3, 2026! Mika, Candace, and Dahlia are the featured 4-stars on both banners.
| Banner | Banner Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Void Star's Advent | Oct 13 to Nov 3, 14:59 |  Skirk |  Mika  Candace  Dahlia | Azurelight |
 La Chanson Cerise | Oct 13 to Nov 3, 14:59 |  Escoffier | Mika Candace Dahlia | Symphonist of Scents |
 Epitome Invocation | Oct 13 to Nov 3, 14:59 | Azurelight Symphonist of Scents | Sturdy Bone Sacrificial Bow Favonius Lance The Widsith Sacrificial Greatsword | Chart one with Epitomized Path |
Skirk is a strong on-field Cryo DPS. Pull for her if you want a main damage dealer for your Cryo team. Our Skirk build covers her best weapons and teams.
Escoffier is a Cryo healer who also lowers enemy Hydro and Cryo RES. She's a great pick if you already play Skirk or Freeze teams.
Not sure yet? Your pity carries over to the next banner, so skipping costs you nothing. For more on this version, see our Genshin 7.1 banners recap.
Next Genshin Banner: Mitya and Furina (Version 7.2 Phase 1)
Mitya and Valeriy will have their debut banners alongside Furina's rerun in Phase 1 of Version 7.2, from November 4, 2026 to November 24, 2026! Valeriy is the only confirmed 4-star so far.
| Banner | Banner Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Myriad Patterns Unfold | Nov 4 to Nov 24, 17:59 |  Mitya |  Valeriy | Starsealed Edict New |
 Chanson of Many Waters | Nov 4 to Nov 24, 17:59 |  Furina | Valeriy | Splendor of Tranquil Waters (expected) |
Mitya's signature catalyst, Starsealed Edict, debuts on the weapon banner at the same time. Furina's Splendor of Tranquil Waters is expected to return with her.
When Does the Next Genshin Banner Come Out?
Version 7.2 maintenance starts on November 4 at 07:00 (UTC+8) and lasts about five hours. The Phase 1 banners open as soon as it ends. Phase 2 opens on November 24 at 18:00 server time.
| Server | Phase 1 Opens | Phase 2 Opens |
|---|---|---|
| America UTC-5 | Nov 3, 23:00 | Nov 24, 18:00 |
| Europe UTC+1 | Nov 4, 05:00 | Nov 24, 18:00 |
| Asia, TW/HK/MO UTC+8 | Nov 4, 12:00 | Nov 24, 18:00 |
Is Mitya Worth Pulling?
Mitya is a 5-star Electro Catalyst user. His passive turns every Superconduct your team triggers into Stellar-Conduct, so all you need is a Cryo teammate. Most players already have one.
- Tap Skill: stores energy and hits nearby enemies with Stellar-Conduct DMG over time.
- Hold Skill: uses that energy for a fast chain of enhanced Charged Attacks.
- Burst: deals AoE Electro DMG and refills his energy.
Pull for Mitya if you like reaction teams and want a new Electro DPS. Skip him if you mostly play Hydro or Geo teams, or if you're saving for the Tsaritsa. Planning to pull? Start farming early with our Mitya build.
Furina and Valeriy
Furina is the safer pull for most players. Her Fanfare buff boosts almost any team, and Archon reruns don't come often. If you don't have her yet, get her first.
Valeriy is the new Electro 4-star on both Phase 1 banners. He shields the team and boosts Electro DMG, so he fits Stellar-Conduct teams even without Mitya. Building Odette too? Check our Odette build, and see the Genshin 7.2 banners guide for everything else in this version.
Upcoming Genshin Banner: Zibai and Linnea (Version 7.2 Phase 2)
Zibai and Linnea's rerun banners follow in Phase 2 of Version 7.2, from November 24, 2026 to December 15, 2026! The featured 4-stars haven't been announced yet.
| Banner | Banner Dates | 5★ Rate-Up | 4★ Rate-Up | Signature Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Harmonious Abundance | Nov 24, 18:00 to Dec 15, 14:59 |  Zibai | TBA | Lightbearing Moonshard (expected) |
 Ya-hoho! Compendium | Nov 24, 18:00 to Dec 15, 14:59 |  Linnea | TBA | Golden Frostbound Oath (expected) |
Both are Geo characters. Zibai is an on-field DPS, while Linnea supports the team in Lunar-Crystallize setups. Pull for them if you want to build a Geo team. Our Linnea build covers her best bows.
Once Phase 2 ends, Version 7.3 is expected on December 16. See our Genshin 7.3 banners guide for what may come next.
Natlan Chronicled Wish in Version 7.2
The Natlan Chronicled Wish returns in Version 7.2! It features Varesa, Chasca, Xilonen, Mualani, and Kinich, along with their signature weapons. You can chart one 5-star character or weapon. HoYoverse hasn't said which phase it runs in yet.
| 5★ Characters |
|---|
 Varesa · Chasca · Xilonen · Mualani · Kinich |
| 5★ Signature Weapons |
 Vivid Notions · Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage · Peak Patrol Song · Surf's Up · Fang of the Mountain King |
If you don't have Xilonen, she's the best pick for most players. Her healing and RES shred fit almost any team. Go for Varesa or Mualani only if you want that specific DPS.
Genshin Upcoming Weapon Banners: Which Are Worth It
Starsealed Edict is the only new 5-star weapon in November. With Epitomized Path, you're guaranteed the weapon you chart within 160 wishes. Here's our take on each one:
| Weapon | Owner | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Starsealed Edict | Mitya | Worth it if you play him on-field. Get Mitya first. |
| Splendor of Tranquil Waters | Furina | Nice to have. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman works fine. |
| Lightbearing Moonshard | Zibai | A strong pick if Zibai is your main DPS. |
| Golden Frostbound Oath | Linnea | Low priority, since Linnea is a support. |
Our advice: always get the character first. Signature weapons are a nice upgrade, but most characters work fine with a good 4-star weapon.
What Else Comes With the Next Genshin Banner in 7.2
Version 7.2, "Hour of Ruin", brings more than new banners. Here's everything else that arrives on November 4:
