The Wish Banners are possibly the most popular aspect of Genshin Impact, allowing players the chance to get new characters and weapons to enhance their team. However, they’re constantly being updated and rotated out, so keeping track of all the new releases that are coming to the game can be something of a task for the player that wants to stay entirely on top of it.
Luckily, that’s where your good friends at DualShockers come in. This guide will give you all the information you need on current and upcoming Wish Banners, including all the goodies that come along with them, so check back frequently, and we’ll keep you abreast of the latest!
Updated by Christina Roffe on November 8, 2023: Due to the ever-changing nature of Genshin Impact Wish Banners, we have updated the Current Character and Weapon Banner sections to reflect the recent Version 4.2 Phase 1 Update.
Genshin Impact

Current Character Banner
Below, you will find a list of the current limited-time Banners and their characters, expiration dates, and any other important information you will need.

Banner |
5-Star Characters |
4-Star Characters |
Duration |
|
Chanson of Many Waters  |
Furina |
Charlotte, Collei, Beidou |
November 8th, 2023 – November 28th, 2023 |
|
Immaculate Pulse  |
Baizhu |
Charlotte, Collei, Beidou |
November 8th, 2023 – November 28th, 2023 |
In this Banner, the base probability of getting a 5-Star character is 0.6 percent. Once you reach 90 wishes, you are guaranteed a 5-Star character. You have a 50 percent chance of getting the featured character, rather than getting another standard character, such as Diluc, Qiqi, Keqing, and more. If you happen to get one of the standards, the next time you obtain a 5-Star character, it is guaranteed to be the promotional character. The same goes for 4-Star character pulls, where you have a 50 percent chance of receiving one of the promotional characters on your first 4-Star win.
Currently, there are two limited-time Character Banners, meaning your amount of wishes is shared between both Banners. If you start using up wishes on one Banner but decide that you would rather wish on the other limited-time Banner, your amount of wishes will not reset. Instead, it continues from where you left off. For example, if you use 20 wishes on the Baizhu Banner but decide you would rather pull for Furina, you will start at 20 wishes rather than zero.
Current Weapon Banner

November 8th, 2023 – November 28th, 2023 |
In limited-time Weapon Banners, the base probability of getting a 5-Star weapon is 0.7 percent. Once you reach 80 wishes, you are guaranteed a 5-Star weapon. Weapon Banners have a higher drop rate for the promotional item at 75 percent. If you do not get the featured weapon, you will get it the next time you receive a 5-star weapon, similar to the Character Banners.
The same goes for the 4-Star weapons. You have a 75 percent chance of receiving one of the promotional 4-Star weapons on your first 4-Star win. If you do not receive the featured item, you will get it next time you receive a 4-Star weapon.
Splendor of Tranquil Waters and Jadefall’s Splendor are the current event-exclusive weapons, so if you really want these, make sure to grab them before they’re gone!
Upcoming Character And Weapon Banners
In the second phase of Version 4.2, we will see the return of Kamisato Ayato, the 5-Star Hydro character, as well as the return of the 5-Star Electro character, Cyno. This Banner will arrive on November 28th or 29th of 2023.
