Genshin Impact 5.2 Phase II banners

Here's a list of all the characters who will be featured on the Phase II banners:

• Zhongli (5-star Geo)
• Neuvillette (5-star Hydro)
• Heizou (4-star Anemo)
• Fischl (4-star Electro)
• Yaoyao (4-star Dendro)

The upcoming second phase will give a great opportunity for players who are looking for a strong main DPS or a shielder. The 4-star character lineup is also pretty nice, as it features Fischl and Yaoyao.

Additionally, listed below are all the weapons featured on the weapon banner:

• Vortex Vanquisher (5-star Polearm)
• Tome of the Eternal Flow (5-star Catalyst)
• Mitternachts Waltz (4-star Bow)
• Favonius Sword (4-star Sword)
• Favonius Greatsword (4-star Claymore)
• Dragon's Bane (4-star Polearm)
• Sacrificial Fragments (4-star Catalyst)

The weapon banner will feature Vortex Vanquisher and Tome of the Eternal Flow, Zhongli and Neuvillette's signature weapons, respectively. The former is not that great, but the latter is a great stat stick. The remaining 4-star weapons are also decent, as most of them are good for support.
