Genshin Impact Banner Schedule (October 2025)

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.

3. Epitome Invocation

Epitome Invocation is the weapon event wish running alongside the character banners. This banner features two five-star weapons with significantly increased drop rates. This banner also includes the Epitomized Path system, which lets you select one of the two featured five-star weapons to guarantee after a certain number of pulls.

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