Genshin Impact: Yelan's banner 5 & 4-star characters, signature weapons, and more

Players need to keep this in mind as Phase I banners will feature two character banners in the patch 2.7 update. Here are the characters that will be featured in the Phase I banners:

• Yelan - Hydro (5-star)
• Xiao - Anemo (5-star)

Both the banners will share the same pity guarantee as well as the 4-stars that will be featured on the banners.

Here is a list of the 4-star characters who have received a boosted drop-rate in Yelan and Xiao's banner:

• Yanfei - Pyro (Catalyst)
• Noelle - Geo (Claymore)
• Barbara - Hydro (Catalyst)

The Epitome Invocation that will be released in Phase I of the patch 2.7 update will feature signature weapons of Xiao and Yelan. Here is a list of all the weapons that will be featured in the Epitome Invocation:

• Aqua Simulacra (5-star Bow)
• Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (5-star Polearm)
• Sacrificial Bow (4-star Bow)
• Sacrificial Sword (4-star Sword)
• Lilith Spear (4-star Polearm)
• Favonius Greatsword (4-star Claymore)
• Eye of Perception (4-star Catalyst)

Keep in mind that the 5-star weapons being featured are banner-limited weapons and cannot be obtained or summoned once they are gone. While players can still hope to get a Primordial Jade Winged-Spear from standard banner, Aqua Simulacra will not arrive for a few months on the weapon banners once it's gone.
