Genshin Impact 6.4 and 6.5 Banner Schedules, Characters, and Key Dates Revealed

Phase 2 of Genshin Impact Version 6.4 (Luna V) launches today, March 17, flipping the banner slate from Varka and Flins to a rerun pairing of Skirk and Escoffier. That Phase 2 window runs through April 7, 2026, and brings Candace, Charlotte, and Dahlia as the 4-star characters on their shared banner.

Phase 1, which ran from February 25 through today, featured the debut of Varka alongside a rerun of Flins. Coinciding with that first phase, a Mondstadt Chronicled Wish banner also launched on February 25. Its weapon pool included Aquila Favonia, Skyward Blade, Skyward Pride, Skyward Spine, Skyward Atlas, Skyward Harp, and Elegy for the End, though availability alongside Varka's release was noted with tentative language rather than confirmed outright.

The Epitome Invocation weapon banners follow the same two-phase structure. Phase 1 offered Bloodsoaked Ruins and Gest of the Mighty Wolf as the featured 5-star weapons, alongside Favonius Sword, Favonius Greatsword, Sacrificial Fragments, Sacrificial Bow, and a Sacrificial catalyst. Phase 2, now active through April 7, shifts to Symphonist of Scents and Azurelight at the top, with The Flute, The Bell, Favonius Lance, Favonius Codex, and Rust filling out the pool.

Version 6.5 is scheduled to launch April 8, 2026, one day after 6.4 wraps. Phase 1 will feature Linnea as a new character alongside a rerun of Chasca, while Phase 2 is headlined by Nefer Lauma. Those assignments come from LDShop's reported schedule and have not yet been corroborated by official HoYoverse patch notes.

Looking further ahead, LDShop's roadmap places Version 6.6 on May 20, 2026, with Nicole debuting and Durin returning in Phase 1, and Phase 2 slotting in Lohen (Standard) and Mavuika. Version 6.7 follows on July 1, 2026, with Sandrone as a new character and Columbina as the Phase 1 rerun, while Phase 2 remains TBA. A 6.8/7.0 entry lists Alice with one TBA slot. That full roadmap reflects LDShop's published schedule and warrants verification against official developer announcements before treating any of those entries as confirmed.

HoYoverse revealed the second-half 6.4 banner lineup, event rotations, and a broad rough schedule for 6.5 characters, though the full scope of that developer communication was not available in complete form at the time of this report. Players should cross-reference the in-game notice and official patch notes for precise weapon pool confirmations and any updates to the 6.5 and beyond character assignments.
