Banner Schedule & Pull Value
Phase | Start/End (UTC+8) | Featured Characters |

2 | TBC | Furina, Arlecchino, Zhongli reruns |

Should You Pull? Guidance by Playstyle
- F2P: With Nefer as the sole new unit, consider skipping to boost savings for patch 6.2—especially if rumors of Jahoda or Durin pan out (Unconfirmed — subject to change).
- Low Spenders: Welkin Moon and BP buyers can expect an extra 4,460 Primogems, raising your cushion for soft-pity on banners. Weight reruns like Furina and Zhongli—still top-tier for teams and Spiral Abyss.
- Banner Value: This patch leans rerun-heavy, ideal for those who missed prior headliners. Pity carries over; minimal banner overlap reduces FOMO, but timing your pulls remains key.

Events & Limited Content: What to Expect
Miliastra Wonderland (UGC Mode)
- What: Launch of User-Generated Content; players can craft custom stages/outfits.
- Why it matters: The first Genshin-sanctioned UGC system, designed for replayability and extended ‘endgame’ value.
- Reward Note: Official Primogem rewards for UGC participation were not stated in official materials.
Imaginarium Theater
- Rewards: 2,000 Primogems via completion.
- Eligibility: Unlocks for high AR; requires team-building across multiple elements; can’t be repeated within single patch.
Stygian Onslaught
- Format: Combat challenge; 450 Primogems, time-limited.
- Timing: Detailed event dates not confirmed. Watch EarlyGG’s Genshin event tracker for live updates.
Banner Reruns: Maximizing Value
- Furina, Arlecchino, Zhongli: All remain S-tier in meta teams—familiarize yourself with current tier lists and recommended supports ahead of their banners.
- Team Synergies: Strategy hinges on your roster depth (existing 5★/4★ dupe levels). Don’t neglect synergy with patch-limited 4★ units on the banners.
Pre-Patch Checklist: Optimize Before 6.1 Hits
- Resin Spend: Clear boss and weekly domains—no new region domains in this patch.
- Materials: Save Dendro stones and books for Nefer (ascension/talents). Check for required specialty drops as official kit is announced.
- Spiral Abyss: Complete both cycles pre-and post-patch for top Primogem yield.
- Daily Comms: Log in all 42 days if aiming for the full free Primogem count.
Day-1 Priorities After Update
- Test Nefer: Try before pulling to assess value for your teams (where demo/event is provided).
- Claim Maintenance/Code Rewards: Redeem within 24–48 hours; codes expire quickly.
- Explore Miliastra Wonderland: Early adoption yields unique outfits and materials otherwise time-gated.
Unconfirmed — Subject to Change
- Durin & Jahoda in 6.2: Currently unverified; several credible sources mention their arrival but no screenshot/release note as of publication.
- Varka Appearance: Teased in official trailers, presence in 6.1 Archon Quest not confirmed in patch notes. Treat as rumor until included in official channels.
Key Takeaways & What’s Next
Version 6.1 marks a rare light patch in terms of sheer Primogem volume, with one new character, focused rerun banners, and an emphasis on system changes over pure content expansion. F2P and low-spend players should weigh their pulls carefully, as the ability to save for future banners is strongest in cycles like this.
