Genshin Impact Version “Luna VII” Phase I Event Wishes: Nicole, Durin, and New Weapon Banner Details
The Version “Luna VII” Phase I Event Wishes for Genshin Impact introduce two featured 5-star Pyro characters — “Clamor Within” Nicole and “The Undying Fire” Durin — alongside the weapon banner featuring Angelos’ Heptades (Catalyst) and Athame Artis (Sword).
The banners run from the launch of Version “Luna VII” until June 9, 2026 at 17:59, and also include boosted drop rates for Prune, Razor, and Fischl. In addition, the update continues the shared pity system between Character Event Wish banners and offers trial rewards through the Test Run event.
Nicole and Durin Headline the Version “Luna VII” Character Banners
The biggest focus of Phase I is the introduction of two separate Pyro-focused 5-star banners. Nicole appears in the “Angel’s Reverie” banner, while Durin takes center stage in “Rubedo, of White Stone Born.”
Both characters receive significant rate boosts during the event period, making this one of the most Pyro-heavy update launches in recent Genshin Impact cycles.
At Animon Life, banners featuring newly introduced 5-star Pyro characters often generate strong collector interest because they tend to receive themed merchandise, acrylic stands, and premium illustration goods shortly after release.
The banners remain active until 2026/06/09 17:59, giving players roughly three weeks to participate before Phase II begins.
Full Character Banner Breakdown
The two-character banners share the same boosted 4-star lineup while featuring different exclusive 5-star characters.
Phase I Character Banner Comparison
| Banner Name | Featured 5-Star | Element | Featured 4-Stars | Banner Type | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angel’s Reverie | Clamor Within Nicole | Pyro | Prune (Anemo), Razor (Electro), Fischl (Electro) | Character Event Wish | Until 2026/06/09 17:59 |
| Rubedo, of White Stone Born | The Undying Fire Durin | Pyro | Prune (Anemo), Razor (Electro), Fischl (Electro) | Character Event Wish-2 | Until 2026/06/09 17:59 |
This setup gives players flexibility because the pity counter is shared between both limited character banners. Players pulling for Nicole can switch to Durin without losing accumulated wish progress.
The update also confirms that Prune will enter the standard banner “Wanderlust Invocation” in the next version, while Nicole and Durin remain limited-exclusive characters unavailable in the permanent pool.
Nicole’s Banner Emphasizes Aggressive Pyro Team Building
Nicole’s banner appears designed around offensive elemental synergy. As a Pyro 5-star unit, she is well-suited to reaction-based teams featuring Electro or Anemo support.
The inclusion of Razor and Fischl increases Electro availability within the same banner cycle, which naturally supports Overloaded or hybrid elemental compositions. Meanwhile, Prune’s Anemo element suggests crowd-control or reaction-enhancing potential.
This banner structure is likely intended to encourage flexible reaction-focused team experimentation rather than single-element optimization.
Durin’s Banner Introduces Another Major Pyro Presence
Durin’s banner continues the Pyro-heavy theme but appears positioned with a more narrative-focused identity. The title “The Undying Fire” strongly suggests the importance of lore tied to immortality, endurance, or destructive rebirth.
The dual Pyro banner strategy is unusual because Genshin Impact typically spreads elemental focus across multiple update phases. Launching two Pyro 5-stars simultaneously indicates that HoYoverse may be reshaping the elemental meta or preparing for future reaction-oriented content.
For North America fans, retailers such as Animon Life often see higher engagement when dual-banner launches introduce visually distinct 5-star characters with strong thematic branding.
Weapon Banner Features Two Exclusive 5-Star Weapons
The “Epitome Invocation” weapon banner includes two exclusive 5-star weapons: the Catalyst Angelos’ Heptades and the Sword Athame Artis.
Both weapons receive boosted drop rates during the same event period as the character banners.
Phase I Weapon Banner Details
| Weapon | Type | Availability | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angelos’ Heptades | Catalyst | Event Exclusive | Featured 5-star weapon |
| Athame Artis | Sword | Event Exclusive | Featured 5-star weapon |
| Moonweaver’s Dawn | Sword | Event Exclusive 4-star | Limited availability |
| Mitternachts Waltz | Bow | Event Exclusive 4-star | Returning featured weapon |
| The Bell | Claymore | Standard 4-star | Boosted drop rate |
| Dragon’s Bane | Polearm | Standard 4-star | Boosted drop rate |
| The Widsith | Catalyst | Standard 4-star | Boosted drop rate |
The weapon banner also includes the Epitomized Path system, allowing players to target a specific promotional 5-star weapon after enough pulls.
At Animon Life, limited weapon-themed collectibles and replica-inspired merchandise often gain popularity during banners featuring visually elaborate weapons like these.
Shared Pity System Remains Important for Pull Strategy
One of the most important mechanics in Version “Luna VII” is the continuation of the shared pity counter between Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2.
This means:
Pulls on Nicole’s banner contribute toward Durin’s pity count.
Pulls on Durin’s banner contribute toward Nicole’s pity count.
The pity system remains separate from weapon and standard banners.
This structure helps players manage resources more efficiently, especially when attempting to secure multiple featured characters during a single phase.
Test Run Event Offers Trial Rewards
The return of the Test Run feature allows players to test featured characters before spending Primogems.
Players can:
Use fixed trial lineups.
Enter dedicated combat stages.
Learn character mechanics.
Earn small completion rewards.
This system remains one of the best ways for players to determine whether a character fits their preferred playstyle before committing to it.
