Genshin Impact reveals the second half of the banner characters for version 6.5

Genshin Impact has officially revealed its full list of banner characters for the second half of version 6.5, with some welcome surprises among the 4 stars. Introducing the Chronicled Banner i Genshin Impact has paved the way for the developer to organize a schedule of endlessly stacked event banners. Version 6.5 is no different in that regard, featuring some of the best Nod-Krai has to offer. Still, its Chronicled Banner is stacked in its own way.

Version 6.5 features the debut of the Fontaine Chronicled Banner to Genshin Impactwhich allows players to draw from a selection of 5 stars that all come from Fontaine's Event Banners. Lyney, Navia, Clorinde, Sigewyne and Emilie are all present on the banner, though Wriothesley remains conspicuously absent – suggesting Meropides' Warden will probably have their own separate banner when Snezhnaya rolls around. Neuvillette, Furina, and Arlecchino are understandable exceptions: the Hydro Sovereign, the former Hydro Archon, and a Fatui Harbinger.

Genshin Impact Leaks Banner Characters for Version 6.6

A reliable source in the Genshin Impact community reveals which 5-stars will make up the event banner in the Hexerei-heavy version 6.6.

Name	Rarity	Element	Arms	Debut
Nefer	5 star	Dendro	Catalyst	Version 6.1
Lauma	5 star	Dendro	Catalyst	Version 6.0
Yehoda	4 star	Anemo	Bow	Version 6.2
Xingqiu	4 star	Hydro	Sword	Version 1.0
Kirara	4 star	Dendro	Sword	Version 3.7
Lyney	5 star	Pyro	Bow	Version 4.0
Navia	5 star	Geo	Claymore	Version 4.2
Clorinde	5 star	Electro	Sword	Version 4.7
Siegwinne	5 star	Hydro	Bow	Version 4.7
Kirara	5 star	Dendro	polar arm	Version 4.8

As for the event banner, HoYoverse has revealed a lineup of Nefer and Lauma alongside Kirara, Xingqiu and Jahoda. Given that Jahoda can replace as a support for Nefer in Genshin Impactand that Xingqiu and Kirara are both budget options for Lunar-Bloom, the second half event banner is in perfect harmony. Players new to the game can wish on both the Lauma and Nefer banners and assemble one of the strongest teams in Genshin Impact. Players with more advanced accounts probably already have Lauma and Nefer, or have their sights set on someone else. The second half of the version 6.5 banner will last until the end of the patch on May 20, 2026.

Considering this is their first replay, Genshin Impact players can expect Nefer and Lauma to have a second within the next twelve months. If they like Lunar-Bloom games or are intrigued by Nefer's playstyle, this is the best opportunity for them to get the best duo for that particular Lunar Reaction. But with Stellar Reactions coming with Snezhnaya in Genshin Impactmay there be more exciting things on the horizon.

Version 6.6 is expected to be the capstone for the Hexerei characters Genshin Impactwith Nicole, Lohen and Prune all releasing in the same patch. Conversely, version 6.7 is rumored to introduce Sandrone as a Stellar-Conduct character. With Version 6.7 confirmed as the final patch of Nod-Krai, it will be the last hurray for Song of the Welkin Moon: a finale with the region's final zone while introducing the first character to wield Snezhnaya's combat mechanic.

While Lunar Reactions will likely continue to be relevant and viable in the next Genshin Impact region, endgame modes like Stygian Onslaught, Spiral Abyss, or Imaginarium Theater will almost certainly cater to them less in Snezhnaya. As such, Genshin Impact players should spend their moves on the upcoming banners only if they really want the Lunar-Bloom characters. Especially for collectors, version 6.5 offers a free copy of Jahoda via its flagship event.
