Event Timelines & Exploration Eligibility
The flagship event for Luna V is the Limited-Time Area Exploration Reward, specifically requiring completion of the quest "The Lament of the Cliff-Shadowed Hollow." As of publication, the precise start and end dates for this window are not stated in official materials. The event is ongoing, with a firm warning from the developers: finish the quest and claim all area rewards before the event ends.
Players who have not yet started this exploration should prioritize it immediately, as late completion risks losing access to the exclusive item pool and Primogem rewards only available during Luna V.
Event Requirements (Confirmed):
- Unlock the Cliff-Shadowed Hollow area via main progression or prerequisite quests
- Complete "The Lament of the Cliff-Shadowed Hollow" to enable event rewards
- Event-specific collectibles may be limited to this area for this phase
Banner Schedules & F2P Decision-Making
Current banner phases and their overlap with event timelines are crucial for efficient Primogem usage. While this update focuses on events, it is critical for F2P or low-spend players to:
- Prioritize limited area events to maximize free Primogems prior to upcoming banner cycles
- Avoid impulse pulls; instead, bank earned currency for confirmed or rumored five-star reruns/introductions in subsequent patches
- Consult EarlyGG’s 6.5 Banner Lineup and 4.7 Preview for roadmap planning
| Banner Phase | Start Date | End Date | Available 5★/4★ Units |
|---|---|---|---|

For confirmed details and banner rates, refer to the in-game Notices or EarlyGG’s deep-dives. If you haven’t planned out pity, now is the time.
Luna V Exploration: Core Teams & Resource Pathways
The event area—Cliff-Shadowed Hollow—features enemy and puzzle configurations highly conducive to teams featuring strong AoE and shielding capabilities. For efficient exploration and resource clearing:
- Recommended Cores: Zhongli, Nahida, Yelan, or teams with high movement speed/utility
- Alternatives: Free characters with crowd control, healers (e.g., Barbara, Lynette)
- Optimal: Build teams for elemental resonance matching the region’s dominant enemies
Key advice for F2P: Leverage trial units if available; invest resin in boss drops that double as event progression catalysts.
