What is the next Genshin Impact banner?

If you’re curious about the current and next Genshin Impact banner, you’ve come to the right place. Each character event wish banner lasts around three weeks and gives you a higher chance to receive specific five-star and four-star characters. There’s also a weapon event wish banner called Epitome Invocation that gives you the chance to roll for some extremely powerful four and five-star weapons.

We update our Genshin Impact next banner page frequently so that you know whether to save your primogems or spend up large with the current banner. There are generally four character banners per Genshin Impact update, with two running concurrently in the first phase, and two running concurrently in the second phase, so you’re rarely short on opportunities to snag your next main!

Here are the current and next Genshin Impact banners:

Genshin Impact Chronicled Wish banner

Version 4.5 also sees the introduction of the Chronicled Wish banner. This version is called Ode to the Dawn Breeze, which runs from March 13 until April 2. It features a selection of standard characters and weapons, as well as some limited characters and weapons that haven’t had their own banner in a while.

Here are all the five-star characters currently featured on the 4.5 Chronicled Wish banner:

And here are all the five-star weapons currently featured on the 4.5 Chronicled Wish banner: 

  • Hunter’s Path (bow)
  • Aquila Favonia (sword)
  • Skyward Pride (claymore)
  • Skyward Spine (polearm)
  • Skyward Atlus (catalyst)
  • Skyward Harp (bow)

The Chronicled Wish featured a special fate point system. You choose which five-star character or weapon you want and chart your course. You have a 50% chance of pulling your chosen five-star on your first five-star pull. If you don’t get your chosen five-star, you earn one fate point, which guarantees that the next five-star you pull on this banner will be your featured one.

What is the next Genshin Impact banner?

During the livestream, Hoyoverse announced that the following characters will feature on the phase two 4.5 banners. 

Decree of the Deeps – phase two

Leaves in the Wind – phase two

Hoyoverse also announced that the first phase will feature a banner for the new five-star sword, Uraku Misugiri. As Chiori’s signature weapon, this beautiful piece of kit offers a handy defense boost – meaning it could also be a valuable option for Genshin Impact’s Albedo.

And that’s not all – in addition to all of this, there’s also a brand new banner coming in version 4.5 called Chronicled Wish, which allows you to pull on a variety of five-star characters and weapons that you may have missed out on in the past.

The Chronicled Wish banner can feature five-star characters that have had at least three banners, and have not had a re-run recently. For example, the preview during the livestream featured the following characters:

In order to help you get the characters you want, this banner also features a point system, similar to the one on the weapon banner – but, unlike the weapon banner, you only need one point in order to guarantee your chosen character or weapon! Hoyoverse has confirmed that more details are coming soon, so we’ll be sure to update this guide as soon as we know more.

Upcoming Genshin Impact banner speculation

Due to recent drip marketing, we predict that Genshin Impact’s Arlecchino is coming in the version 4.6 Genshin Impact update

Beyond that, there are a handful of characters that we know about – either through meeting them in-game or seeing them in promotional material – but don’t have release dates for yet.

Here are all of the characters we predict will appear on upcoming Genshin Impact banners:

We predict that we’ll see each of these characters at some point in the future. Of course, we’ll be sure to update this section and their individual guides as soon as we know more, so be sure to check back in the future.
