Genshin Impact 3.0 Special Program officially announces Patch 3.0 banner schedule
PATCH 3.0 PHASE 1 BANNERS
The 3.0 Special Program has officially announced the characters that will be present in the character banners of patch 3.0. The first half of patch 3.0 will feature Tighnari's debut and Zhongli's rerun banner.
Interestingly, Tighnari will be the first 5-star character from Sumeru, who will be making his debut alongside the region's addition to the game itself. Tighnari has been officially disclosed as a Dendro Bow user who uses charged attacks as the primary source of damage. His kit allows him to increase the firerate and damage of his charged attacks as well as reduce enemy resistance, further increasing the Dendro element's overall damage.
Meanwhile, Zhongli the Geo Archon will have his third rerun banner in patch 3.0. Zhongli has been a significant part of the meta for some time now, thanks to his ability to provide strong shields as well as shred enemy resistance. He can also petrify enemies with his Elemental Burst, giving players breathing room while fighting against multiple enemies.
Both banners will also feature a new 4-star Sumeru character, Collei, who happens to be a Dendro Bow user as well.
PATCH 3.0 PHASE 2 BANNERS
The second half of patch 3.0 was also officially revealed during the 3.0 Special Program. Based on announcements made on the livestream, Genshin Impact fans can expect the following characters to be on the character banners:
- Ganyu
- Sangonomiya Kokomi
- Dori
Both the featured banners in the second phase will be character reruns, making it the second rerun for both Ganyu and Sangonomiya Kokomi. Both have been meta-defining characters ever since their release. Players who still don’t have them on their roster now have an opportunity to obtain them.
Ganyu is presently one of the best Cryo DPS characters. With her bow, she uses charged attacks to deal maximum damage. Her Elemental Burst is the second-most-used ability from her kit, featuring one of the largest AoE damage attacks in the game. Meanwhile, Sangonomiya Kokomi is one of the best healing characters in Genshin Impact. Apart from her healing, she is also established as an excellent Hydro enabler.
The 3.0 Special Program has only revealed one of the 4-star characters that will appear on these character reruns. The 4-star happens to be a new Sumeru character named Dori. She is a Sumeru merchant with Electro vision and mastery over Claymore weapons.
