Genshin Impact is going to feature two different limited-time character banners and two weapon banners in 1.3 update.

The second weapon banner will be available from 24th February, and it will feature the Staff of Homa (5-Star Polearm) and the Lithic Spear (4-Star Polearm).

All the stats of the Lithic Spear have been leaked ahead of the banner's introduction. The spear has a base ATK of 44 and a 6% ATK bonus. Upon ascension, the stats provide a maximum of 565 base ATK and 27.6% ATK bonus at level 90.

An old leak, during the closed beta testing, regarding the Lithic spear in Genshin Impact, showed a different passive ability and secondary stats. According to those leaks, the spear shows physical damage bonus instead of ATK%, but some reputed leakers have denied the authenticity of the same.
