Genshin Impact 6.1 Update: Full Banner Character Lineup Revealed

Genshin Impact has officially revealed the full roster of 5-Star and 4-Star characters coming to its Version 6.1 Event Banners. Scheduled for release on October 22, 2025, Version 6.1 promises a massive content drop — including the continuation of the Archon Quest, the debut of Nefer, and the highly anticipated Miliastra Wonderland sandbox mode. While players are thrilled to test the new Dendro hypercarry, the long-term highlight of this update will likely be the creativity and replayability introduced by Miliastra Wonderland.

Genshin Impact 6.1 Event Banner Details

In Version 6.1, the first half of the event will feature Nefer and Furina, followed by Arlecchino and Zhongli in the second phase. Despite several nerfs during beta testing, Nefer is still expected to perform competitively among Genshin’s top-tier hypercarries. While she might not match Skirk or Mavuika, her strength is projected to rival Varesa in the current meta. Nefer’s combat style revolves around creating Dendro Cores that enhance her Charged Attacks, though she requires Lauma to fully unlock her potential.

Version 6.1 Banner Characters

First Half

Nefer – 5★ Dendro Catalyst

Furina – 5★ Hydro Sword

Xingqiu – 4★ Hydro Sword

Collei – 4★ Dendro Bow

Yao Yao – 4★ Dendro Polearm

Second Half

Arlecchino – 5★ Pyro Polearm

Zhongli – 5★ Geo Polearm

Lan Yan – 4★ Anemo Catalyst

Yun Jin – 4★ Geo Polearm

Rosaria – 4★ Cryo Polearm

Through official reveals and reliable datamining sources, the full list of Version 6.1 banner characters has now been confirmed. The first phase will pair Yao Yao, Xingqiu, and Collei with Nefer and Furina, while the second phase includes Lan Yan, Yun Jin, and Rosaria alongside Arlecchino and Zhongli. Among the 4-Star lineup, Lan Yan and Xingqiu stand out — Xingqiu serves as an excellent partner for Nefer, whereas Lan Yan is regarded as one of the strongest Shield Supports in the current meta.

Weapon Banner and Future Content

Players planning to build Nefer or Furina can look forward to the Weapon Banner in the first half of Version 6.1. It will feature both of their signature weapons, as well as a brand-new collection of Nod-Krai weapons offering strong passive effects. However, since Version 6.1 won’t include any map expansion, players should expect fewer Primogems compared to the last two updates. With Columbina rumored to become playable in Version 6.3, it may be wise to save some Intertwined Fates for future banners.

Looking Ahead to Version 6.2

Leaked information suggests that Version 6.2 will introduce Durin and Jahoda as new playable characters, while Venti and Escoffier are expected to receive reruns. Version 6.1 officially launches on October 22, 2025, and will run until December 3, 2025, continuing Genshin Impact’s steady flow of updates and character rotations.
