Some fan-favorite characters are also having banners rerun in the upcoming update. Check everything you should know about this update with this guide!
New Character Banners: Zibai, Illuga, and Neuvillette Return
Two major character banners will run simultaneously for Genshin’s Luna IV Second Phase from February 3 to February 24. It is named “Harmonious Abundance” banner that features the new 5-star Geo DPS character, Zibai. If you’re lacking a strong Geo option like Zhongli, he’ll make a great addition to your roster.
Illuga also joins the banners as a new 4-star character featured on rate-up for both Phase 2 banners. Based on some early player discussions, Illuga serves as a best-in-slot support option for your team. Aside from new characters, the update is exciting for many that awaits Neuvillette rerun through the “Decree of the Deeps” banner.
Weapon Banners and Featured Equipment
Luna IV Second Phase event will also feature a new weapon banner event called “Epitome Invocation”. This will run from February 3 to February 24, 2026 as well, featuring weapons like Lightbearing Moonshard and Tome of the Eternal Flow. Moonshard is the new 5-star weapon designed to complement the new character releases.
For those eyeing Neuvillete, the Tome of the Eternal Flow makes a perfect combination to his kit. You can use the weapon banners to maximize character investments, especially those pulling Zibai or securing Neuvillette’s signature weapon.
Moonlit Patrol Exercise: Strategic Wargame Event
Starting on February 9, 2026, Genshin Impact will introduce the Moonlight Patrol Exercise event. It is a unique Wargame simulation event that will be available only until February 23, 2026. Unlike traditional combat events, you will have to assemble teams with special combat until and deploy them against challengers.
Simply said, you won’t need to manually trigger skills or reactions during the simulation. Instead, your victory depends on your unit selection and team composition. Afterwards, you can get rewards like Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Mora, weapon ascension materials, and Sanctifying Unction by completing the event.
Ley Line Overflow Returns with Double Rewards
Also, the popular Ley Line Overflow event is making a return on Genshin Impact for February 16, 2026! However, it will remain active only until February 23, 2026, making it a limited opportunity. You can claim double rewards from Blossom of Wealth and Blossom of Revelation Ley Lines from this event.
Before claiming, you have to provide the standard 20 Original Resin. This serves as an excellent opportunity to stock up on Mora and character experience materials due to doubled rewards.
Lantern Rite Festival: Extended Celebration
Despite the Phase 2 arrival, Lantern Rite festival remains available throughout the update. It will run until February 23, ensuring you’ll have the opportunity to complete event challenges and claim rewards. This Lantern Rite also offers extensive rewards such as:
