Genshin Impact Banners are what you can spend your Fate currency on to Wish for characters and weapons.

Every character event Banner usually runs for three weeks, making way for the next Banner, which always has a single 5-Star character with boosted pull odds, and three boosted 4-Stars.

There is also a weapon Banner that changes its featured 5-Star and 4-Star pulls every three weeks, and two permanent Banners with their own unique character and weapon pools.

We’ve detailed what the next and current Banners are in Genshin Impact below, along with a list of all Banners that have ran in the game since its 1.0 launch.

For all other information on current and future events, check out our version 4.6 schedule.

Genshin Impact next Banner event characters

For these temporary event character Banners, you have to use Intertwined Fate to Wish on them, and they usually change every three weeks. Sometimes there will only be one event character Banner, and sometimes there are two. When there are two, they share the same pity, 50/50 system, and boosted 4-Star characters.

The next Banners in Genshin Impact are Baizhu and Wanderer (Scaramouche) in Phase 2 of version 4.6. Baizhu is a 5-Star Dendro catalyst-user on his Immaculate Pulse Banner, and Wanderer is a 5-Star Anemo catalyst-user on his From Ashes Reborn Banner.

We'll update this page when we know who the boosted 4-Star characters are in Phase 2 of 4.6.

4.7 Banners

As their drip marketing has started on social media, it's all but confirmed that 5-Stars Clorinde and Sigewinne are on the version 4.7 Banners in Genshin Impact, with 4-Star Sethos debuting on one of their Banners. Clorinde is an Electro character, Sigewinne is a Hydro character, and Sethos is also an Electro character.

Genshin Impact next Epitome Invocation Banner weapons

Epitome Invocation is a permanent weapon Banner with boosted 5-Star and 4-Star weapons that usually changes every three weeks, at the same time new event character Banners are added. Just like these character Banners, you must use Intertwined Fate to Wish on Epitome Invocation.

In Phase 2 of version 4.6 we're getting Wanderer and Baizhu reruns, so we should get their signatures on the next weapon Banner in Genshin Impact: Wanderer's 5-Star catalyst Tulaytullah's Remembrance, and Baizhu's 5-Star catalyst Jadefall's Splendor.

Genshin Impact current Chronicled Wish Banner

The last Chronicled Wish Banner ended on Tuesday 2nd April, and only lasted one Phase of the version 4.5 patch. We don't currently have any information on when the next Chronicled Wish Banner will run, or who the next boosted characters will be.

We'll update this page when we know more details about the next Chronicled Wish, but for now, here an explanation of how it works:

Genshin Impact Chronicled Wish Banner explained

Chronicled Wish uses Intertwined Fate to chart a course towards specific characters and weapons that have been on rerun Banners at least three times, and that haven't featured recently. This new Banner will be added to Genshin Impact during version 4.5. As per the official explainer, after this, Chronicled Wish will run "from time to time".

How does this new Banner work with both characters and weapons? Well, before using your Intertwined Fate to pull on Chronicled Wish, you must choose your 'Chronicled Path' by selecting a 5-star character or weapon from a list. If you choose a character, the 5-stars you pull will all be characters, but if you choose a weapon, the 5-stars you pull will all be weapons.

Chronicled Wish Banner characters and weapons as revelaed in the 4.5 livestream for Genshin Impact.

As always, you're guaranteed a 4-Star character or weapon every 10 pulls, and after 90 pulls on Chronicled Wish, you get a 5-star, but there's only a 50/50 chance it's the one you picked during your selection.

However, this time if you lose the 50/50, you get one Fate Point. This Fate point then guarantees that the next 5-star character or weapon you get is the one you picked during the 'Chronicled Wish' selection. Getting your selected character or weapon, changing your choice, or a Chronicled Wish Banner ending will reset your Fate Points back to zero.

This means your accumulated pull count will carry over to the next Chronicled Wish Banner, just like the regular event Banners work, but this time your 50/50 history doesn't. As, if you lose the 50/50 and don't get your selected character or weapon, you can't use the Fate Point on the next Chronicled Banner. You still have the pull count accumulated, you're just not guaranteed to get the 5-Star you want anymore now you don't have a Fate Point to use.

Chronicled Wish has a separate pull count than the event character Banners, even though they both use Intertwined Fate.

Genshin Impact Beginners' Wish Banner

You can spend your Acquaint Fate on the permanent Beginners' Wish Banner. However, if you've Wished 20 times on it, Beginners' Wish will no longer be available.

After spending 10 Acquaint Fate on Beginners' wish you will get a guaranteed 4-Star Geo character, Noelle. After 20 Acquaint Fate is used, you'll then get another guaranteed 5-Star or 4-Star character from a select pool.

Here are the 5-Star characters you can get from the Beginners' Wish Banner:

  • Diluc
  • Jean
  • Keqing
  • Mona
  • Qiqi

Here's the 4-Star characters available in the Beginners' Wish Banner pool:

  • Barbara
  • Beidou
  • Bennett
  • Chongyun
  • Fischl
  • Ningguang
  • Razor
  • Sucrose
  • Xiangling
  • Xingqiu

Genshin Impact Wanderlust Invocation Banner

All 5-Star characters and Weapons not included in event character Banners are available in Wanderlust Invocation, a permanent Banner. New 4-Star characters are added to it in the update after their original Banner debut, but event-exclusive 4-Star weapons are not.

For every 10 Wishes you make with Acquaint Fate on Wanderlust Invocation, you are guaranteed at least one 4-Star character or weapon.

Here are all the 5-Star characters you can get from Wanderlust Invocation:

There are a lot more 4-Star items than 5-Stars in the Banner, so here's every 4-Star character you can get from Wanderlust Invocation:

  • Amber
  • Barbara
  • Beidou
  • Bennett
  • Candace
  • Charlotte
  • Chevreuse
  • Chongyun
  • Collei
  • Diona
