With the much anticipated Genshin Impact 3.5 update less than 10 days away, all the character banners for both phases have been officially announced. The upcoming patch will bring back some of the most popular characters and weapons, providing players an opportunity to summon them.

The upcoming update is expected to be released on March 1 at 11:00 AM (UTC+8) across all Genshin Impact servers simultaneously. This article will cover all the five-star characters that will get a banner in the next patch and their release dates.

Dehya will be released on March 1 in the first phase of Genshin Impact 3.5
During the Genshin Impact 3.5 Special Program livestream, the developers officially announced all the characters and their banner schedule. In the first phase of the upcoming update, Dehya will officially become the first five-star Pyro unit to be released since Yoimiya, who was released in the v2.0 patch update.
Interestingly, the former will also become a permanent unit starting with v3.6 and will be added to the Standard Wish Wanderlust Invocation banner, which has surprised many fans.
Alongside Dehya will be Cyno, who will get his first rerun and their banners will be available for three weeks. At the same time, the weapon banner will feature each of their respective signature weapons, the Beacon of the Reed Sea and the Staff of the Scarlet Sands.
Shenhe will get her first rerun in the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.5
Following Dehya and Cyno are Kamisato Ayaka and Shenhe in the second half of the upcoming update, alongside the newest member of the Cryo family, Mika. At the same time, Mistsplitter Reforged and Calamity Queller are likely to receive a bonus drop rate boost in the weapon banner.
Since the first phase banners will last for three weeks, the second is expected to begin on March 22 or 23, depending on the server. It will also be available for three weeks.
