Natlan’s fiery spirit continues to blaze strong as Genshin Impact Version 5.8 Phase 2 rolls out, bringing a wave of excitement for Travelers everywhere. This time, the spotlight shines on the long-awaited reruns of Mualani, the tide-surfing catalyst user, and Chasca, the crimson-winged archer, who make a splash with their powerful kits and vibrant designs.
Between the fresh character banners, weapon line-ups, and delightful events, Phase 2 packs plenty of reasons to log in daily. Let’s see what it has in store!
New Character Banners
Phase 2 brings back Mualani, one of Natlan’s strongest DPS units. This cheerful travel guide and surfer girl excels at weaving Hydro-infused attacks with Vaporize reactions, making her a monstrous damage dealer and Hydro enabler. Her kit allows for jaw-dropping Vaporize procs, and if you’re looking for that spark of inspiration to max out your Natlan exploration progress, her Sharky lets you hop from island to island quickly.
Chasca returns in Phase 2 with her Anemo-loaded shells and amplified Swirl reactions. Reaction-heavy teams and Sub-DPS units are in for a treat because Travelers can infuse her shells with Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro, triggering powerful bursts of damage. If you like to min-max your rotations, Chasca is the one to pull!
The reruns will be available from August 19 to September 9, 2025, featuring 4-stars Bennett, Ifa, and Ororon.

New Weapon Banner
Like always, signature 5-star weapons will be available to help Travelers unlock their full potential. Mualani’s Surf’s Up catalyst sports a base ATK of 542 and a whopping 88.2% Crit DMG, allowing for those one-hit boss runs. It’s passive, Aqua Remembrance, and it also boosts her Max HP and empowers Normal Attacks after every skill usage and Vaporize procs, letting her stack massive buffs while surfing through waves of enemies.
On the other hand, Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage is an equally devastating bow for Chasca. A base ATK of 608 and 66.2% Crit DMG enhances her Swirl reactions by a vast margin. Its Moonring Sighted passive rewards Travelers for triggering Swirl with diverse team comps while strengthening her Charged Attacks and Burst DMG. If you want Chasca to take flight, this bow is her best-in-slot.
