Phase 2 of Genshin Impact Version 6.2 is almost here, and it’s looking like a festive treat for Travelers looking to finish the year strong. Starting December 23, two standout Natlan characters—Varesa and Xilonen—make their long-awaited return, giving players another shot at pulling a high-octane Electro DPS and one of the most versatile Geo supports in the game. Alongside their rerun banners, Phase 2 also introduces a fresh weapon banner tailored to their kits, plus fun limited-time events that reward Primogems and more.
In this article, we’ll break down the new rerun banners, featured characters, signature weapons, and events waiting for you in Version 6.2 Phase 2.
New Rerun Banners
Xilonen
Hailing from the Nanatzcayan tribe of Natlan, Xilonen is a renowned blacksmith whose calm demeanor hides an incredibly impactful presence on the battlefield. In Genshin Impact’s lore, she represents the craftsmanship and resilience of Natlan’s people, forging not just weapons but also unity among allies. Gameplay-wise, Xilonen shines as a Geo Sword support who specializes in boosting team damage through resistance shredding and party-wide buffs, while also offering healing through her Elemental Burst. Her flexible kit allows her to fit into a wide range of team comps, making her especially valuable for players who want a reliable support that enhances both elemental and Geo-focused teams.
Varesa
Varesa, the unexpected hero of the Collective of Plenty, brings an entirely different kind of energy to the roster. Known as a relaxed orchard owner with a legendary appetite, she surprises everyone with her raw combat prowess and masked vigilante persona. As an Electro Catalyst main DPS, Varesa thrives on fast-paced, high-impact plunging attacks that reward aggressive play. Her kit encourages staying on the field, chaining movement skills into devastating plunges that scale incredibly well with buffs and Crit investment. Varesa excels as the centerpiece of reaction-heavy teams and is perfect for players who enjoy flashy, high-damage playstyles.

New Weapon Banner
Vivid Notions
Varesa’s signature weapon is a 5-star catalyst built specifically for plunging attack specialists. With a hefty 674 Base ATK and 44.1% Crit DMG, it already screams DPS potential, but its passive effect takes things even further. The weapon boosts ATK by 28% and amplifies plunging attack Crit DMG depending on whether Varesa uses her plunges or activates her Elemental Skill or Burst. In practice, this catalyst turns Varesa’s signature playstyle into a damage showcase, rewarding precise rotations and aggressive plunging with massive numbers.
Peak Patrol Song
For Xilonen, Peak Patrol Song is a 5-star sword that perfectly complements her DEF-scaling support role. While its Base ATK sits at 542, the massive 82.7% DEF sub-stat is where the magic happens. Its passive effect steadily increases the wielder’s DEF and Elemental DMG Bonus, then converts that DEF into a powerful team-wide Elemental DMG buff once fully stacked. This makes Peak Patrol Song an exceptional choice for Xilonen players who want to maximize her support potential and elevate the entire team’s damage output.
New Events
Heroic Clash: Saurian Brawl
Heroic Clash: Saurian Brawl brings Natlan’s competitive spirit front and center in a fast-paced, matchmaking-based event. From December 29 to January 7, players will control Natlan Saurians and face off against other companions in arena challenges. It’s a refreshing change of pace that blends chaos and fun, all while giving out Primogems and other valuable items for your efforts.
Marvelous Merchandise
The ever-popular Marvelous Merchandise event also makes its return, inviting players to trade everyday materials with the mysterious Liben in exchange for Primogems and bonus rewards. It’s simple, efficient, and perfect for Travelers who want easy value just by playing regularly and managing their resources wisely.
With powerful reruns, signature weapons, and Primogem-rich events all packed into Phase 2, now’s the perfect time to prepare your account for the weeks ahead. Whether you’re aiming to strengthen your roster with Varesa or elevate your team with Xilonen, having Genesis Crystals ready makes all the difference.
