Banner Phases & Rates
Banner scheduling remains a core decision driver, especially for those tracking pity, saving Primogems, or viewing rerun opportunities.
| Phase | Start (UTC+8) | End (UTC+8) | 5-Star Units | Featured 4-Stars |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 2024-06-05 | 2024-06-25 | Clorinde, Sigewinne | Not officially stated |
| Phase 2 | 2024-06-25 | 2024-07-16 | RumoredCyno rerun | Not officially stated |
Not stated in official materials: Phase 2 units outside of ongoing rumor cycles. Always refer to official posts or in-game notifications before finalizing pulls.
Pull rates: Standard limited character banner rates remain unchanged (0.6% for featured 5-stars, soft pity at 75, hard pity at 90).
Should You Pull Clorinde or Wait?
F2P and Optimal Spend Advice
- Clorinde: Her Electro sword playstyle introduces fresh synergy with Fontaine’s existing supports, and her role in the story is generating notable excitement. Early analysis suggests she offers a versatile slot for both overworld and Spiral Abyss content.
- Sigewinne: Also debuting as a featured 5-star, Sigewinne is drawing attention for her healing potential. Compare her to other Fontaine supports before investing if you’re limited on resources.
- Pity Management: If you are close to hard pity but don’t prefer Clorinde or Sigewinne, consider holding for Phase 2 (fully confirmed units pending). Always balance current banner appeal with upcoming rumors and your account needs.
Competing Banners
Rumors of Cyno and other reruns in Phase 2 make for difficult choices if your account needs strong Main DPS or supports from previous regions. However, as always, these details remain unconfirmed — subject to change and should not drive immediate pulls until officially announced.
Key Team Synergies: Clorinde and Meta Pairings
- Clorinde is poised to partner well with Pyro and Hydro enablers for reaction-based team compositions, especially in Electro-Charged or Overloaded teams.
- Potential Partners: Bennett, Yelan, Xingqiu, and Fischl.
- Alternatives: If you’re missing Fontaine units, standard Liyue or Mondstadt supports still offer synergy due to her flexible kit.
Early impressions suggest Clorinde’s talents reward aggressive play and fast rotations—expect shifts in Abyss meta team rankings if she matches testing expectations.
Upcoming Events & Rewards
