Angel’s Reverie & Rubedo Banners: Nicole & Durin Pull Guide

The Luna VII Banner Lineup: Two New Pyro 5-Stars and a Weapon Banner

With the arrival of Genshin Impact's Version Luna VII, HoYoverse is treating players to not one, but two all-new Pyro 5-star characters and a pair of matching signature weapons. This update brings the event-exclusive "Clamor Within" Nicole (Pyro) on her first banner "Angel's Reverie" and "'The Undying Fire'" Durin (Pyro) on "Rubedo, of White Stone Born", alongside the Epitome Invocation weapon banner featuring Angelos' Heptades (Catalyst) and Athame Artis (Sword).

If you've been saving your Primogems for a new Pyro main or support, this patch might be the moment to commit. Below, we break down every banner, the shared pity mechanics, the 4-star rate-ups, and whether you should pull.

At a Glance

• Phase: The three banners run from the start of Version Luna VII until 2026-06-09 17:59 (server time).
• 5-star characters: "Clamor Within" Nicole (Pyro) and "'The Undying Fire'" Durin (Pyro) — both event-exclusive.
• Shared pity: The two "Character Event Wish" banners share a guarantee count (standard for dual-banner patches).
• 4-star rate-ups: Prune (Anemo), Razor (Electro), and Fischl (Electro) appear on both character banners.
• Prune's status: After this patch, Prune will join the standard "Wanderlust Invocation" banner starting next version.
• Weapon banner: Angelos' Heptades (Catalyst) and Athame Artis (Sword) as rate-up 5-stars, with Moonweaver's Dawn (Sword) and Mitternachts Waltz (Bow) as rate-up 4-stars, plus The Bell (Claymore), Dragon's Bane (Polearm), and The Widsith (Catalyst).

Nicole's "Angel's Reverie" Banner

"Clamor Within" Nicole (Pyro) is the focal point of this wish. While her full kit details are beyond the scope of this banner summary, early indicators from official previews suggest she fills a sub-DPS or support role with a unique Pyro application mechanic. This is a first banner for Nicole, so if you want her, you'll need to pull now — she won't enter the standard pool.

The 4-star rate-ups on this banner are Prune (Anemo), Razor (Electro), and Fischl (Electro). All three are solid units, but Fischl remains a top-tier Electro battery and sub-DPS even in 2026. Prune is a new Anemo character that will become standard next version, so you may want to wait if you're not specifically targeting Prune cons — but pulling for her now isn't a bad idea if you need her early.

Durin's "Rubedo, of White Stone Born" Banner

"'The Undying Fire'" Durin (Pyro) debuts on the second character banner. Given his name and Pyro affinity, players are speculating a more offense-oriented playstyle — possibly a DPS with self-sustain mechanics related to his lore. As with Nicole, Durin is event-exclusive and will not enter the standard banner after this.

The shared 4-star lineup applies here too: Prune, Razor, and Fischl. If you already have these characters at C6, consider the value of the 4-star cons before pulling.

Weapon Banner: Epitome Invocation

The Epitome Invocation weapon banner is running alongside the character banners, featuring two new 5-star weapons:

• Angelos' Heptades (Catalyst) — likely Nicole's signature, scaling heavily into some stat.
• Athame Artis (Sword) — likely Durin's signature, a DPS sword.

The 4-star lineup includes Moonweaver's Dawn (Sword), Mitternachts Waltz (Bow), The Bell (Claymore), Dragon's Bane (Polearm), and The Widsith (Catalyst). Moonweaver's Dawn is new, while the others are standard pool weapons.

Use the Epitomized Path system to chart your desired 5-star weapon (available as usual). This banner shares pity with standard weapon banner mechanics — not with character banners.

Should You Pull?

Nicole (Pyro)

If you need a Pyro support or off-field applicator, Nicole looks promising. Her event-exclusive status means no future guarantee from standard pulls. However, we recommend waiting for detailed theorycrafting before committing primogems. For a more in-depth analysis, check out our dedicated Should You Pull the Nicole Angel’s Reverie Banner? guide.

Durin (Pyro)

If you're lacking a main Pyro DPS, Durin may fill that gap. His kit is likely tuned for the current Abyss cycles. Again, wait for complete calcs.

The 4-star Lineup (Prune, Razor, Fischl)

Prune will be standard soon, so consider pulling now only if you can't wait or want to C6 her early. Fischl is always a great pickup — especially for new players. Razor is less relevant in the current meta.

Weapon Banner

The weapons are likely very strong for Nicole and Durin respectively. If you plan to main one of these characters, the weapon banner is worth a look, especially with the path system ensuring you eventually get the right one. Be mindful of the 50/50 loss risk.

Historical Context

Version Luna VII continues the trend of double new 5-star character banners, similar to what we saw in Version 6.4 with Skirk and Escoffier. This patch also follows a pattern of having two Pyro characters in the same update — a first for Genshin Impact. Historically, Pyro has always been a contested element, and the introduction of two new Pyro 5-stars back-to-back signals a shift in the meta that players should pay attention to.

Final Thoughts

The Luna VII banners offer variety for both new and veteran players. Nicole and Durin both bring fresh mechanics to the Pyro roster, and the 4-star lineup is decent with Fischl as a standout. Prune's upcoming addition to the standard banner means you don't need to rush for her cons if you're patient.

Make your pull decisions based on your account needs and do not feel pressured to roll on all three banners. As always, plan your Primogems wisely.
