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!
