Genshin Impact 3.6: Countdown and all details players need to know

The new version of Genshin Impact is going live on April 12 on all servers.Players can also pre-install the update before the release.

The update for v3.6 will be available at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on April 12, 2023. The following countdown timer shows the time remaining for it to go live.

Banners and four-star characters

As usual, the update will feature two phases with two banners each. The first phase will have Nahida and Nilou as the 5-star characters, the Dendro archon and a Hydro sword user, respectively. The second phase will have Baizhu, a new five-star Dendro character alongside Ganyu's rerun.

Both banners of the same phase in Genshin Impact will share the same pity count and feature the same 4-star characters.

The Phase I banners will include three characters - Dori, who specializes in healing with the Electro element, Layla, a Cryo user with shielding abilities, and Kuki Shinobu, an Electro hero who can both heal and enable others.

It is worth noting that these three work well with Nilou and Nahida in reaction teams in Genshin Impact and can provide additional utility to a party in various ways.

The second phase, along with Baizhu and Ganyu's banners, will feature a new 4-star character - Kaveh, a Dendro Claymore user.
