Here's a list of all the characters who will feature on the banners during the first half of version 5.1:

• Xilonen (5-star Geo)
• Chiori (5-star Geo)
• Candace (4-star Hydro)
• Collei (4-star Dendro)
• Dori (4-star Electro)

This will be Chiori's first rerun banner. Travelers who wish to get her can use this chance, but her pull value isn't much since Xilonen is also on the event banner and is one of the best support characters in the game. Lastly, the 4-star units are nothing special.

Below is a list of all the weapons that will be featured on the Weapon Event Wish in the first phase:

• Peak Patrol Song (5-star Sword)
• Uraku Misugiri (5-star Sword)
• Sturdy Bone (4-star Sword)
• Mountain Bracing Bolt (4-star Polearm)
• Rust (4-star Bow)
• Sacrificial Greatsword (4-star Claymore)
• Favonius Codex (4-star Catalyst)

The weapon line-up is pretty decent and it features three new weapons. This includes Xilonen's 5-star signature Peak Patrol Song and two 4-star limited Sword and Polearm. Additionally, Chiori's Uraku Misugiri will receive a major drop-rate boost. Luckily, both 5-star weapons are good options for Xilonen so getting either one won't be a loss.
