Genshin impact 4.2 second half banners and events

HoYoverse has confirmed that the featured 5-star characters during the second half of the 4.1 update will be Wriothesley (Cryo) and Venti (Anemo). They will arrive in-game on October 17, 2023, and will remain available till November 7, 2023. Their banners will include Chongyun (Cryo), Thoma (Pyro), and Dori (Electro) as the featured 4-star characters.

The Duke of Meropide, Wriothesley, is a brand-new unit expected to be a really strong DPS that relies on Normal Attacks. He is expected to pair well with the new free 4-star Catalyst, called Ballad of the Boundless Blue.

Venti has generally been regarded as the best Crowd Control (CC) unit in this game. Although he has failed off a bit in the meta ever since Kazuha was released, he is still regarded as the best unit for easily clearing smaller mobs.

The featured 5-star weapons for Phase 2 will be Cashflow Supervision and Elegy for the End. These are Wriothesley and Venti's respective signature options. This banner will also include Eye of Perception (Catalyst), Rainslasher (Claymore), Range Gauge (Bow), Favoinus Sword (Sword), and Prospector's Drill (Polearm) as the available 4-star weapons.
