First weapon banner revealed

Genshin Impact 2.1 will also feature two five-star weapons on its first banner, including the powerful Engulfing Lightning. The weapon is Raiden's signature polearm and will boost her damage by a significant amount.

The second weapon on Raiden Shogun's banner is The Unforged, which is a surprising choice considering no Claymore characters have been released in a while. Still, it can provide a powerful boost to any character protected by a shield.
