Genshin Impact 4.2: Official reveal of Phase II banners and countdown

Genshin Impact developers have confirmed that Cyno and Ayato will have reruns in Phase II banners of the version 4.2 update. This was revealed in a recent announcement on their official social media channels. Here is a quick overview of the upcoming characters:

• Ayato (Hydro Sword)
• Cyno (Electro Polearm)
• Kuki (Electro Sword)
• Kirara (Dendro Sword)
• Xiangling (Pyro Polearm)

The Phase II banners will drop on November 28, 2023, and will stay available for 21 days until December 19, 2023.

The head of the Kamisato clan, Ayato, is a 5-star Hydro Sword character from Inazuma. He can use his Elemental Skill to deal rapid bursts of Hydro-infused normal attacks on enemies. Meanwhile, his Elemental Burst creates a large AoE that constantly applies Hydro on enemies. This way, he can contribute by triggering multiple reactions while he is on-field or off-field.

General Mahamatra Cyno, on the other hand, is a 5-star Electro Polearm character from Sumeru. His unique kit allows him to infuse all of his attacks with Electro to deal damage to enemies consistently.
