The Key of Khaj-Nisut is set to arrive alongside the second half of the Genshin Impact 3.1 update this week

The tweet above is an official announcement from Genshin Impact officials, revealing the game's upcoming weapon banner.

The weapon banner is scheduled to drop in the second half of the 3.1 update at 6:00 pm (UTC+8) on October 14, 2022. As shown above, it will feature the Key of Khaj-Nisut and the Primordial Jade Cutter. Both are 5-star swords that can cater to different types of sword users in Genshin Impact.

The Epitome Invocation (weapon banner) will also introduce two new 4-star weapons called Xiphos Moonlight and Wandering Evenstar, which will provide Elemental Mastery to their sub-stats. Both of the new weapons provide the 165 Elemental Mastery with 510 Base ATK at level 90.

Given below is a list of 4-star weapons that will be featured in the new weapon banner:

• Xiphos' Moonlight (Sword)
• Wandering Evenstar (Catalyst)
• Rainslasher (Claymore)
• Dragon's Bane (Polearm)
• Sacrificial Bow (Bow)

Players who wish to summon the Key of Khaj-Nisut from the weapon banner will need to take advantage of the Epitomized Path system.

The system allows players to choose the 5-star weapon they want to summon. Every time players summon other 5-star weapons, fate points will be provided. Acquiring two fate points will guarantee that the third 5-star summon will be the chosen 5-star weapon (in this case, the Key of Khaj-Nisut).

Hence, players will need around 240 pulls or 38,400 Primogems to ensure they summon Nilou's signature weapon.
