Genshin Impact 6.4 Luna V Banners: Are Varka and the Chronicled Wish Worth Your Pulls?

In Genshin Impact 6.4 “Luna V” on PC, PlayStation, and mobile, Varka’s debut banner and the Mondstadt Chronicled Wish run from February 25 to March 17, 2026. Varka is a new 5★ Anemo claymore DPS, while the Chronicled Wish focuses on older Mondstadt 5★ characters and standard‑pool weapons.

If you care about account power and long‑term value, Varka’s banner is a solid pull only if you want a new Anemo claymore carry and can make use of its strong 4★ lineup (Bennett, Xiangling, Sucrose). The Mondstadt Chronicled Wish is generally a low‑value use of primogems unless you specifically want one of the featured Mondstadt 5★s and are comfortable with pulling standard weapons instead of modern signatures.

TL;DR priority

1. Varka banner: good if you need an Anemo on‑field DPS and still want core supports like Bennett or Sucrose.

2. Flins rerun: better if you’re leaning into Luna‑focused teams and already own Columbina or Ineffa; this sits on the same phase as Varka.​

3. Chronicled Wish: mostly for collectors who love Mondstadt characters such as Eula, Albedo, or Klee and don’t mind older standard weapons like Wolf’s Gravestone or Skyward Blade.

6.4 Luna V banner schedule and line‑up

Version 6.4 “Luna V” released on February 25, 2026 and follows the usual two‑phase banner structure.

Character banner timeline

• Phase 1 (February 25 – March 17, 2026):

  • Varka (new 5★ Anemo claymore)

  • Flins (5★ rerun)

  • 4★ rate‑up: Bennett, Xiangling, Sucrose

• Phase 2 (March 17 – April 7, 2026):

  • Skirk (5★ rerun)

  • Escoffier (5★ rerun)​

Mondstadt Chronicled Wish

• Runs “sometime in Version 6.4”; in practice, multiple guides list it as active February 25 – March 17 alongside Phase 1.

• Focused on Mondstadt 5★s (Jean, Mona, Diluc, Klee, Eula, Albedo) and a pool of standard 5★ weapons.

You can treat Phase 1 as your main “decision window” for Varka vs Flins vs Chronicled Wish, then Phase 2 as cleanup for Skirk or Escoffier if you still have primogems left.

How good is Varka’s banner in 6.4?

Varka’s debut banner, “The Northerly Wind’s Song of Triumph,” is available during Phase 1, from February 25 to March 17. It’s your only way to get him right now, and it comes with one of the most useful 4★ lineups in the game.

Varka basics

• New 5★ character

• Element: Anemo

• Weapon: Claymore

• Role: on‑field DPS with strong Normal/Charged Attack focus​

He fills a similar slot to other on‑field Anemo damage dealers, but with claymore reach and Mondstadt synergy. Exact multipliers and rotations are best checked in up‑to‑date build guides, but the broad picture is “reasonably strong carry, not the single highest DPS in the game.”​​

Phase 1 rate‑up 4★ characters

According to the official Phase I wish notice and multiple banner overviews, Varka’s banner features:

• Bennett (Pyro, support/buffer)

• Xiangling (Pyro, off‑field damage)

• Sucrose (Anemo, crowd control and elemental mastery share)

This is basically a package of evergreen supports:

• Bennett remains one of the strongest universal ATK buffers and healers, especially valuable for new and mid‑game accounts.​

• Xiangling provides high off‑field Pyro application and damage, useful in many reaction teams.

• Sucrose offers grouping and elemental mastery buffs that pair well with reaction‑based comps in current Nod‑Krai and Luna content.

If your roster is still missing any of these three or you lack constellations on Bennett and Sucrose, almost every 4★ you get here is a win.

Should you pull Varka or Flins in Phase 1?

The big Phase 1 question is usually “Varka or Flins?” because they share the same window.

Simple decision path

Use this quick check:

1. Do you already have a strong main DPS for your favorite teams?

   • Yes and you’re comfortable with your carries: Flins may add more niche value if you’re building Luna or electro‑leaning teams with Columbina/Ineffa.

   • No and you lack a good generalist carry: Varka is safer as a flexible Anemo claymore DPS.

2. Do you own Columbina or Ineffa and plan to play Luna‑style reactions long‑term?

   • Yes: Flins gains a lot of value because his kit and weapon are tuned around those synergies.

   • No: Flins still works, but his peak performance is harder to reach, making Varka more plug‑and‑play for most accounts.​

3. How much do you care about 4★ value?

   • Varka banner’s Bennett/Xiangling/Sucrose trio is excellent for long‑term account building.

   • Flins’s 4★s in 6.4 are more situational and less universally useful by comparison.​​

An example from actual play: if you’re returning after several patches and still missing Bennett or Sucrose, a few multis on Varka’s banner can dramatically upgrade multiple teams, even if you end up losing the 50/50 to a standard 5★.

Chronicled Wish in 6.4: who is it really for?

The Mondstadt Chronicled Wish system lets you “chart a course” toward one selected 5★ character or weapon from a curated list. In 6.4, the Mondstadt version focuses on legacy characters and standard weapons.

What’s in the 6.4 Mondstadt Chronicled Wish?

Game8 and the Genshin wiki document the 6.4 Mondstadt Chronicled Wish as featuring:

5★ characters

• Jean

• Mona

• Diluc

• Klee

• Albedo

• Eula

5★ weapons (standard pool)

• Aquila Favonia (sword)

• Skyward Blade (sword)

• Wolf’s Gravestone (claymore)

• Skyward Pride (claymore)

• Skyward Spine (polearm)

• Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (catalyst)

• Skyward Atlas (catalyst)

• Skyward Harp (bow)

You can target one 5★ at a time, but every pull still rolls from the same shared pool.

Is the Chronicled Wish worth pulling?

For most players focused on power or modern meta:

• The Chronicled Wish is low priority because almost all of its featured items are available from the standard banner anyway, and many are weaker than modern limited signatures for their roles.

• Standard 5★ weapons like the Skyward series and Wolf’s Gravestone have been outclassed by newer options with stronger passives or better synergy with current reaction‑focused teams.

However, it can still make sense if:

• You’re a collector who specifically wants Eula, Klee, Albedo, or another Mondstadt favorite that hasn’t had a character event rerun in a while.​

• You’re okay trading raw efficiency for the convenience of being able to deliberately chase a particular Mondstadt unit.

If you just want strong weapons or new gameplay, you’re almost always better off saving for limited weapon banners that carry contemporary signatures for characters you actually use.

6.4 weapon banner and standard weapons: how do they fit in?

Alongside the character banners, 6.4 runs weapon event wishes that include Varka and Flins’s signatures plus a Mondstadt Chronicled Wish weapon pool.

Final pull advice for Version 6.4 Luna V

If you’re looking at Genshin Impact 6.4 and wondering where to spend:

• Prioritize Varka’s banner if you need a new on‑field DPS and still lack Bennett, Xiangling, or Sucrose; the Phase 1 window is generous, and those 4★ units will carry many teams for years.

• Consider Flins if your account is already stacked with generalist carries and you want to lean harder into Luna and Columbina/Ineffa‑based reactions.​

• Treat the Mondstadt Chronicled Wish as a luxury banner for collectors or hardcore Mondstadt fans; from a pure value standpoint, it lags behind current limited banners in both characters and weapons.

As always, double‑check the in‑game Event Wish details and any balance changes between patches before committing a large stash of primogems.
