Upcoming "Luna I" Banners: Flyns and Yelan in Genshin Impact's Second Phase Update | GamesDrop Gaming News

The world of Teyvat is gearing up for a new wave of exciting events! HoYoverse developers have unveiled the details of the second phase of the "Luna I" update for the popular ARPG Genshin Impact. Players can look forward to the long-awaited debut of Kirill Chudomirovich Flyns, the first legendary male character with a tall model in two years, as well as the return of one of the most sought-after Hydro supports – Yelan.

We reveal the full lineup of upcoming banners and provide exact launch dates so you can plan your wishes.

Character Banners: Flyns' Debut and Yelan's Return

Event wishes for characters and weapons will become available on September 30th at 8:00 PM Moscow time. These banners will run for exactly three weeks, giving Travelers ample time to acquire desired heroes and prepare for the next major update.

The central event of this phase will be the arrival of Kirill Chudomirovich Flyns (5★, Electro, Polearm). This ancestral light-bearer from Nod-Krai, similar to the previously released robot maid Ineffa, can activate a unique "Lunar Charge" reaction. Flyns is positioned as a main DPS in a team, with his effectiveness directly depending on his ATK stat.

Alongside Flyns, Yelan (5★, Hydro, Bow) will return – the mysterious employee of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She perfectly complements teams with Flyns thanks to her consistent Hydro application on enemies and her ability to significantly boost overall team damage. Additionally, Yelan's Elemental Skill allows her to traverse the vast open world quickly.

Banners in the second half of the update will also feature three epic (4★) heroines:

• Aino (4★, Hydro, Claymore) — the first Hydro character wielding a claymore.
• Sucrose (4★, Anemo, Catalyst)
• Dori (4★, Electro, Claymore)

Weapon Banner: Flyns' and Yelan's Signature Weapons

The weapon banner for the second phase of "Luna I" will offer players two powerful 5★ signature weapons:

• "Bloody Ruins" — a 5★ polearm designed specifically for Flyns. It maximizes his potential by increasing ATK and enhancing the "Lunar Charge" reaction.
• "Aqua Simulacra" — a 5★ bow considered the best choice for Yelan. It significantly boosts the equipped character's Critical Damage and increases their HP stat.

The weapon banner will also include five types of epic (4★) weapons:

• "Dragon's Bane" (Sword)
• "Sacrificial Bow" (Bow)
• "Raincutter" (Claymore)
• "Eye of Perception" (Catalyst)
• "Favonius Lance" (Polearm)

A Sneak Peek at "Luna II" Version

According to preliminary data, the next "Luna II" update will not expand the territory of Nod-Krai. Instead, players will continue their acquaintance with characters from Nashgorod and its surroundings already introduced in the storyline.

Nefer (5★, Dendro, Catalyst) will be the only new playable character in the "Luna II" version. The community speculates that she will specialize in the Bloom reaction and will perfectly complement teams with Lauma, the priestess of the Frostmoon Children. Developers promise to elaborate on Nefer's abilities and announce the full banner lineup on October 10th during a special livestream.

The second half of the "Luna I" version's wishes is an excellent opportunity to strengthen your team and try out new combat strategies. Given the three-week duration of the banners, players will have plenty of time to accumulate Primogems. We recommend not delaying summoning desired characters, as their next reruns may not happen for a long time.
