No new 5-stars? No problem. The Genshin Impact 2.8 banners have great reruns to make your party stronger and the Abyss easier.

We already know about Shikanoin Heizou, the 4 star Anemo Catalyst releasing in Genshin Impact 2.8, but who will be the 5 stars featured in the banners? Read along to see if you should save your Primogems or wait for the newly revealed characters slated for 3.0

Genshin Impact 2.8 Banners

First Half

The First Half of Genshin Impact 2.8 will feature Klee and Kaedehara Kazuha. As for 4 stars, Shikanoin Heizou, Thoma, and Ningguang will also be on these banners.

The 5 star weapons Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds and Freedom Sworn will be available during this time.

It's no surprise that Klee will have a rerun, considering it's practically common knowledge that the Golden Apple Archipelago summer event will once again be available during this patch. Kazuha seems like he'll join in on the summer fun, as he gets his long-awaited rerun. Of course, the 5 star weapons that will run alongside them also suits each of the characters.

Second Half

The Genshin Impact 2.8 second half banners will be monopolized by Naganohara Yoimiya,  Unfortunately, it is currently unknown which 4 stars or weapons that will run in this duration.

Again, the Golden Apple Archipelago gang has found a new playmate in Yoimiya, and we can expect her involvement in the event quests.

Other Characters

As the leaked official art suggests, Fischl and Xinyan will both be a part of the event, and thus their presence in the banner for the second half of the patch as featured 4 stars can be expected.
