New Banners

Phase 2’s character banners are a treat for players who love reaction-heavy teams, especially Burn comps. 5-stars Mavuika and Emilie lead the charge with their strong Pyro and Dendro kits, while 4-stars Xiangling, Yaoyao, and Iansan give you more flexibility with their support capabilities. Now is the perfect time to experiment with Pyro, Dendro, and even Electro reactions and refresh your Spiral Abyss lineups.

Mavuika, the Pyro Archon from Natlan, unleashes rhythmic Pyro attacks that deliver strong AoE pressure and off-field Pyro application. Her Elemental Burst is a deadly AoE strike that empowers her next attacks. She’s a flashy, high-skill main DPS and off-field support best suited for players with burn-based teams.

On the other hand, Emilie is a polearm user who excels in off-field Dendro application. Her Elemental Skill creates a Lumidouce Case that fires Dendro projectiles and powers up when nearby enemies are affected by Burn. Her Elemental Burst upgrades the Case to Level 3, raining down Dendro attacks rapidly for sustained damage. She also brings Pneuma-aligned Dendro hits for added versatility, making her perfect for players lacking a dedicated enabler for Burn, Bloom, or Burgeon comps.

Phase 2 Featured Characters:

5-Star:

  • Mavuika
  • Emilie

4-Star:

  • Xiangling
  • Iansan
  • Yaoyao

New Weapon Banners

As always, Mavuika’s and Emilie’s signature 5-star weapons will run alongside them in the Epitome Invocation.

A Thousand Blazing Suns is Mavuika’s signature claymore, built to match her aggressive, Elemental Skill-heavy playstyle. It has a high base ATK of 741 and a Crit Rate sub-stat of 11% which instantly boosts her damage ceiling. Its passive further enhances Crit DMG and ATK after using an Elemental Skill or Burst.

Lumidouce Elegy is a Crit Rate-boosting polearm that compliments Emilie’s kit like no other. Besides being a strong ATK stick, it amplifies her damage potential in Burning teams.

These weapons are the best-in-slot for Mavuika and Emilie, and they offer the biggest stat boosts out of all the available weapons in Genshin Impact. But don’t fret if you don’t get them, because the weapon banner offers other decent options for your newest units.

5-Star:

  • A Thousand Blazing Suns (Claymore)
  • Lumidouce Elegy (Polearm)

4-Star:

  • The Flute (Sword)
