What are the current and next Genshin Impact banners? Each banner lasts around three weeks and gives you a higher chance of receiving specific five- and four-star characters. There's also a weapon event wish banner called Epitome Invocation that gives you the chance to roll for the featured characters' signature weapons, offering a heap of handy boosts.
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. We update this page frequently, so you never have to worry about missing your faves, and you'll be able to work out whether to save your primogems or splash them on the current banner.
