Introducing new weapons alongside new characters is a tradition that HoYoverse has upheld since the game's official release. Accompanying the Wanderer will be his signature Catalyst called Tulaytullah's Remembrance. Furthermore, the same banner will carry another 5-star weapon called Redhorn Stonethresher, Arataki Itto's signature weapon.
