Reveals all banner characters for Genshin Effect version 6.5

Genshin effect has officially unveiled its Chronicle and Event banners for version 6.5, as players will be able to pick up a total of nine different 5-star characters during the update. From a content standpoint, version 6.5 focuses on two separate threads Genshin effect: A map expansion in Mondstadt that finally adds a Dornman port to the game, and a flagship event in Nod-Krai that invites characters from other nations to participate in a trade expo. While players will have to wait until version 6.6 for Nicole and Lohan to expand Hexerei's ranks, version 6.5 comes with some attractive reruns.

The first ones worth mentioning are Lauma and Nefer Inn Genshin effectA pair that takes the Lunar-Bloom reaction and pushes it to the top of the current meta. In version 6.5 players will be able to get both 5-stars, and to that end, HoYoverse has given Lauma and Nefer enough time to stock up on Primogems by exploring Dornman Port and the Temple of Space in the second part of the patch. However, the real surprise of version 6.5 lies elsewhere.

As confirmed by the officer Genshin effect account on Reddit, version 6.5 will feature the usual pair of event banners, but also a chronicle banner for Fontaine characters. The first half will be all about Linnea Genshin effectA new 5-star Geo Bow whose ability kit can be described as Lauma's answer to Lunar-Crystallize. She will be joined by Chaska, one of Netlan's most versatile hypercarries. The second part of version 6.5, on the other hand, will be headlined by Lauma and Nefer, but it will also debut the Fontaine Chronicled banner, featuring Navia, Clorinde, Emilie, Lyney, and Sigewinne.

Like other chronicle banners in Genshin effectPlayers will also be able to wish for signature weapons associated with specific 5-star characters. A few weapons worth mentioning include Verdict, Absolution, and The First Great Magic – all decent, universal options. Interestingly, the chronicled banner is missing Ryothesley, a Fontaine character that is neither very recent (like Escoffier), nor particularly meta-friendly (like Neuvillet, Furina, and Arlechino). Its implications should be carefully examined.

Namely, that HoYoverse is preparing a separate rerun for Wriothesley Genshin effect In the near future, version 6.7 is the most likely candidate. With Sandron rumored to be a Superconduct character set to make her playable debut in version 6.7, Cryo may be undergoing another revival (beyond Freeze) for Sneznaya. Anyway the case ends, pretty much Genshin effect Players have found his absence either disappointing, surprising or a mixture of both. Given a 5-star waiting list for Genshin effectIt's all but confirmed that the Liyue Chronicled banner will soon follow, as many characters in the region are long overdue for reruns. The biggest offenders in this regard include Hu Tao, Ganyu, Tartaglia, Xiao and Baizhu, all of whom have not been in any banner in over a year.

Genshin Impact Fan shared an impressive concept showing how Fontaine's Navia could look like if it were part of the world of Honkai: Star Rail.

For those concerned with the meta, version 6.5 has two different paths for players: if they have a geo hypercarry like Navia or Zibai. Genshin effectPulling for a line will benefit them the most. If they completely lack Lunar Reaction Hypercarry, Nefer and Lauma might be worth investing in something else. Version 6.5 will be available from April 8, 2026 to May 20, 2026. This gives players plenty of time to make wise decisions about how to spend their Primogems, as version 6.6 will focus on Hexery.
