Genshin Impact's official notice reveal Kazuha rerun banners and weapon banners

Based on the latest official notices, there will be two 5-star character banners sharing 4-star characters in the first phase of Genshin Impact Version 2.8. Kaedehara Kazuha will be in the Character Event Wish, while Klee will be in the Character Event Wish-2.

Keep in mind that both of these banners share the pity, so players need to use their saved Primogems accordingly. Both Kazuha and Klee banners will drop together with the release of the Version 2.8 Update on July 12 or July 13, 2022. The Event Phase I banners will be available in the game until 17:59 on August 2, 2022.

Here is a list of all 4-star characters that will receive a considerable drop rate boost in both Kaedehara Kazuha and Klee banners:

• Thoma (Pyro Polearm)
• Ninnguang (Geo Catalyst)
• Shikanoin Heizou (Anemo Catalyst)

Players will also have a chance to earn Primogems and Ascension Materials from the "Test Run" trial event that will be available on the Events page. This test run allows players to use the banner featuring characters and check out their abilities themselves. Based on this hands-on experience, players can decide whether they want to summon them from the banners or not.

The Event Phase I weapon banners will feature 5-star weapons that are highly recommended equipment for the limited 5-star characters. Obviously, the newest weapon banner for Version 2.8 is no exception. The 5-star Sword being featured is Kazuha's signature weapon and the Catalyst is considered Klee's best weapon.

Here is a list of all the 4-star weapons that will have a boosted drop rate in the Epitome Invocation (weapon banner) of Event Phase I:

• Alley Flash (4-Star Sword)
• Favonius Lance (4-Star Polearm)
• The Widsith (4-Star Catalyst)
• Rainslasher (4-Star Claymore)
• Mitternachts Waltz (4-Star Bow)

Players must keep in mind that Freedom Sworn is an event-exclusive weapon.

No doubt, Heizou and Kaedehara Kazuha will be the center of attraction for the first half of the Version 2.8 Update. On the other hand, players are also excited for the new Golden Apple Archipelago. Players will get to enjoy all of these upcoming items and summon their favorite characters in just a few days when the new update drops in Genshin Impact.
