Genshin Impact 2.5 Raiden banner: Release date, time, countdown, 4-star characters, and more

miHoYo has officially released new details on Raiden Shogun's rerun banner in Genshin Impact 2.5. Travelers already knew that she would be having a rerun thanks to the 2.5 Special Program, but there weren't many details revealed in it pertaining to her banner.

• Release date: March 8, 2022
• Expiration date: March 29, 2022

Some details, such as the official time her rerun banner begins, can be seen in this Tweet. Her banner begins at 18:00 on March 8, 2022, and will end at 2:59 on March 29, 2022. Keep in mind that it's not 18:00 for every timezone; Genshin Impact 2.5 still focuses on the server's time, which is:

The previous countdowns are only so players get an idea of when her rerun will begin. Aside from that, the above tweet also confirms the 4-star characters and the upcoming weapon banner details.

This Epitome Invocation will begin at the same time as Raiden Shogun's rerun in Genshin Impact 2.5. Travelers will be able to get Engulfing Lightning and Everlasting Moonglow during this banner.

The featured 4-star weapons are:

• Akuoumaru (Claymore)
• Favonius Lance (Polearm)
• Lion's Roar (Sword)
• Mouun's Moon (Bow)
• Sacrificial Fragments (Catalyst)

Note: This version of Epitome Invocation runs simultaneously with Raiden Shogun's rerun.

It's worth noting that Kokomi's rerun will also happen on March 8, 2022, at the same time as the other banners. It features the same 4-star characters, but it counts as a separate banner from Raiden Shogun's.

Both reruns happen simultaneously, so the previous countdowns apply here too.
