The livestream will also finally reveal all the character banners for both phases of version 2.1. According to Zani Oppai and Mapleaf, here is a complete phase-wise banner schedule for the new update:

Phase I (February 13, 2025)

• Phoebe (5-star Spectro)
• Shorekeeper (5-star Spectro)
• Lumi (4-star Electro)
• Chixia (4-star Fusion)
• Aalto (4-star Aero)

Phase II (March 6, 2025)

• Brant (5-star Havoc)
• Changli (5-star Fusion)
• Youhu (4-star Glacio)
• Taoqi (4-star Havoc)
• Mortefi (4-star Fusion)

The first half will likely feature Phoebe's banner and Shorekeeper's first rerun. Their banners will be available as soon as the update goes live. Furthermore, assuming version 2.1 follows the six-week update cycle, similar to version 2.0, the second phase will begin on March 6, 2025, and will feature Brant's debut banner. Changli is also expected to get her first rerun in the second half.

Zani Oppai and Mapleaf are fairly reliable sources, and their leaks match, so the info is also likely credible.
