Genshin Impact has officially confirmed the Event Banners for Version 6.2, as the first half will be headlined by Durin and Venti, with the second half featuring Varesa and Xilonen. Though Version 6.2 marks the debut of Durin as a playable character, Genshin Impact will also feature some key reruns in the upcoming patch. Introduced in Version 5.5, Varesa is the only Natlan 5-Star who did not feature a second time on the Event Banners. Version 6.2 will be her time to shine, especially for Genshin Impact players who enjoy the Plunging Attack playstyle.
Unfortunately, Version 6.2 won't feature a Mondstadt Chronicled Banner in Genshin Impact, despite the update introducing a set of buffs for certain Mondstadt characters. The Hexerei Rite will augment the ability kits of Mona, Venti, Klee, Albedo, Razor, Sucrose, and Fischl – with some buffs being independent, and others requiring two Hexerei characters to share a team. Notably, Durin will also count as a Hexerei character, making him an ideal teammate to some of the oldest 5-Stars and 4-Stars in the game.
Genshin Impact Leaks Free and Limited 4-Star Characters for Version 6.2
Genshin Impact players can get an early look at the banner lineup for Version 6.2, as well as see which 4-Stars they can obtain for free.
Genshin Impact: Version 6.2 Event Banners
First Half
- Durin – 5-Star Pyro Sword
- Venti – 5-Star Anemo Bow
- Jahoda – 4-Star Anemo Bow
Second Half
- Varesa – 5-Star Electro Catalyst
- Xilonen – 5-Star Geo Sword
As revealed by Genshin Impact across social media, the Event Banners for Version 6.2 will feature the following characters: Durin and Venti in the first half; Varesa and Xilonen in the second half. In addition to Durin, Jahoda is set to make her gameplay debut in Version 6.2, and Genshin Impact players will be able to pull for her on the Venti and Durin banners. Whereas Durin can either be played as a Pyro driver or support, Jahoda in Genshin Impact is firmly a 4-Star Anemo healer for Lunar Reaction teams.
While not yet confirmed by HoYoverse, datamining has revealed that Gaming and Chevreuse will also feature on the Event Banners in Version 6.2. Given Varesa's preference for Overload teams, it's highly likely that Chevreuse will be in the second half. Furthermore, with the Hexerei system being showcased in Version 6.2, it's also likely that Razor, Sucrose, or Fischl will make a banner appearance in Version 6.2. Another likely candidate that players should consider is Iansan, due to her natural synergy with Varesa in Genshin Impact.
There is one more notable thing about the banners in Version 6.2 – Venti's Signature Weapon. Elegy for the End is being replaced by The Daybreak Chronicles. Whereas Elegy for the End was primarily a support bow, The Daybreak Chronicles is made for a hypercarry version of Venti. Players will be able to obtain it on the Weapon Banner in Genshin Impact during the first half of the update. Version 6.2 is set to launch on December 3, 2025.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
