Phase I banners

Once the Genshin Impact server downtime is over, both Navia and Ayaka's banners will be released along with the new version 4.3 update. Their banners will be available until January 10, 2023. Sucrose, Candace, and Rosaria will also receive a boosted drop rate in this half of the patch.

In addition, Navia and Ayaka's signature weapons, Verdict and Mistsplitter Reforged, will be featured on the Epitome Invocation Event Wishes. Both are 5-star limited weapons, so you can try to pull them before they are gone.
