Genshin Impact Banner Schedule (September 2026)
Last Updated: September 1, 2026 - New Banner added.
Genshin Impact uses a banner system for its gacha mechanic. Players spend Primogems and other premium currencies on these banners to obtain characters, weapons, and items. The game features multiple banner types, each with different pools and rules.
Some banners feature limited-time characters and weapons that only appear during specific periods. Others remain permanent, like the standard banner and beginner options for new players. These banners mostly rotate every few weeks or months before expiring and making way for new ones. In this article, we'll explore the current and previous banners in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Banner Schedule Summary
Genshin Impact is in Phase 2 of Version 7.0, with banners running from September 1 to September 22, 2026
Flins headlines The Lone Light Knocks at Night, an Electro Polearm character returning as a rerun
Ineffa headlines Astral Actuation, also an Electro Polearm character built around the Lunar-Charged reaction
Both character banners share the same featured 4-stars: Aino, Iansan, and Lan Yan
The weapon banner carries Bloodsoaked Ruins and Fractured Halo, the signature weapons for Flins and Ineffa
The standard pity system still applies, guaranteeing a 5-star character every 90 pulls with a 50/50 chance at the featured unit
Players who lose the 50/50 on Flins's banner carry a guarantee over to Ineffa's banner, and the reverse also holds true
Current Genshin Impact Banners

Players use Intertwined Fates to pull on all event banners, which operate on the standard pity system for guaranteeing five-star drops.

The pity system guarantees a five-star weapon every 80 pulls. The Epitomized Path system requires setting a course for a desired weapon. Pulling a different five-star weapon earns 1 Fate Point, which guarantees the chosen weapon on the next five-star pull. This makes the worst-case scenario 160 pulls for the chosen weapon.
