Genshin Impact banner schedule for 4.8 & 5.0 characters

New and returning characters in Genshin Impact are pooled together in a limited-banner system, and while it follows a fixed schedule, keeping track of current and upcoming characters can become quite a task in itself.

To make it easier, here is the full banner schedule for Genshin Impact version 4.8, including everything leaked about version 5.0.

Genshin Impact leaked version 5.0 banner details

• Genshin Impact 5.0 phase 1
  • Mualani (new 5-star Hydro character)
  • Zhongli (returning 5-star Geo character)
• Genshin Impact 5.0 phase 2
  • Kinich (new 5-star Dendro character)
  • Wriothesly (returning 5-star Cryo character)
  • Kachina (new 4-star Geo character)

HoYoverse are releasing more details about the upcoming 5.0 version, and leakers have found out which characters are going to feature in its banners. Keep in mind that they haven’t been confirmed officially yet, so take this line-up with a bit of salt.

What is the current Genshin Impact character banner?

The current banner in Genshin Impact version 4.8 phase 2 features the brand-new banner of Emilie (Dendro Polearm user) and the rerun banner of Yelan (Hydro Sword user). These two five-star characters are also featured along with these four-star characters that have boosted drop rates:

• Yanfei (Pyro Catalyst user)
• Xiangling (Pyro Polearm user)
• Razor (Electro Claymore user)

What is the current weapon banner in Genshin Impact?

In phase 2 of Genshin Impact version 4.8, the featured five-star weapons are the Aqua Simulacra (Bow), and Lumidouce Elegy (Polearm). Meanwhile, the four-star weapons with the boosted drop rates are:

• The Flute (Sword)
• Favonious Lance (Polearm)
• Favonius Warbow (Bow)
• Wandering Evenstar (Catalyst)
• Makhaira Aquamarine (Claymore)

Like the character banner, the current weapon banner will also leave the game on August 27, 2024.

When is the next Chronicled Wish banner?

We have no information on when the Chronicled Wish banner will return to Genshin Impact. HoYoverse said the banner would arrive from time to time, which hints that it potentially isn’t part of every phase or version. 

With no leaks on it being featured for version 5.0 so far, it is unlikely that it’ll be part of the upcoming update. 

HoYoverse have a ton of events for Genshin Impact before version 5.0 starts, so check out which are currently available for you to earn more ascension and Talent Level-up materials.
