At a Glance
- Phase 2 banners run from 2026-07-21 18:00 to 2026-08-11 14:59 (server local time, commonly Asia Server).
- 5-star characters: Columbina (Hydro) on "Somnias a Luna" (Character Event Wish) and Raiden Shogun (Electro) on "Reign of Serenity" (Character Event Wish-2).
- 4-star characters: Jahoda (Anemo), Ororon (Electro), Sethos (Electro) featured on both character banners.
- Weapon banner: Nocturne's Curtain Call (Catalyst) and Engulfing Lightning (Polearm) as rate-up 5-stars; Waveriding Whirl (Catalyst) as 4-star exclusive along with standard weapons.
- Pity sharing: The two character event wishes share pity count, so you can build pity on either and still guarantee a 5-star between them. This is independent from the weapon banner.
- Test Runs: Available for each new character – free rewards for completion.
Somnias a Luna – Columbina (Hydro)
Columbina's kit as a Hydro DPS has been anticipated since her first story appearance. Her unique "Welkin Moon's Homecoming" aesthetic pairs well with her elemental playstyle. While full stats aren't available, early impressions suggest she excels in vaporize or hydro-charged teams. The banner also features Jahoda (Anemo), Ororon (Electro), and Sethos (Electro) – all solid 4-star picks for different roles.
Reign of Serenity – Raiden Shogun Rerun
The Raiden Shogun returns in her "Plane of Euthymia" form. As one of the most versatile 5-star supports and sub-DPS units, she remains a top-tier investment. Her ability to recharge energy for the entire team and her powerful burst make her core in countless teams, from Rational to hypercarry. If you missed her previous runs, this is your chance.
Epitome Invocation – Weapon Banner
The weapon banner offers two standout options: Nocturne's Curtain Call (Catalyst) – likely the signature for Columbina – and Engulfing Lightning (Polearm), Raiden Shogun's best-in-slot. The 4-star pool includes Waveriding Whirl (Catalyst) as an event-exclusive, plus Sacrificial Sword, The Bell, Favonius Lance, and Favonius Warbow.
Given the high value of both rate-up 5-star weapons, the Epitome Invocation is especially attractive this cycle. However, always plan for the worst-case 3 Fate Points with Epitomized Path.
Should You Pull?
For F2P and low-spend players:
- Columbina – If you lack a strong Hydro DPS, she's a tempting pull. But consider your existing roster: Childe, Ayato, or even Hydro traveler alternatives.
- Raiden Shogun – She's a proven account-changer. Her utility in energy generation and damage makes her one of the safest pulls in the game. If you don't have her, prioritize her over most new characters.
- Weapon banner – Only pull if you are committed to either character and have a guarantee. Both weapons are excellent, but the 3 Fate Points system can be punishing.
Meta perspective:
Raiden Shogun remains a staple in abyss clears, while Columbina's power level is yet to be fully tested. Leaks suggest she has strong numbers, but wait for community testing.
Teams & Synergies
- Columbina (Hydro): Expected to work well with pyro off-fielders like Xiangling or Bennett for vaporize. Electro-charged with Fischl or Yae Miko is also potent.
- Raiden Shogun: Classic national team (Raiden, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Bennett) or hypercarry with Sara and Kazuha. Her energy recharge makes her flexible in any team needing ER.
- The shared 4-stars Jahoda, Ororon, and Sethos offer anemo grouping, electro application, and healing/shielding respectively – helpful for building around either 5-star.
Events & Rewards
The Test Run trials will be open for the duration. Completing them grants Primogems, mora, and materials. It's a good opportunity to test both Columbina and Raiden Shogun before committing resources.
