The inaugural phase of the version 5.2 update will kick off on November 20, 2024. Players can expect a mix of both new and returning characters on the following banner:

Chasca (5-star, Anemo, Bow)
Lyney (5-star, Pyro, Bow)
Ororon (4-star, Electro, Bow)
Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage (5-star Bow)
The First Great Magic (5-star Bow)

It’s noteworthy that Chasca will be the sole new 5-star character introduced in this update, joining the returning Lyney, who is making his second appearance. Alongside them, the 4-star character Ororon will be making his debut as an Electro unit wielding a Bow.

Players will also have the chance to obtain their signature weapons, the Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage and The First Great Magic, via the weapon banner. The Phase I banners will be available until December 10, 2024.

Phase II: Starting December 10, 2024

Travelers can look forward to the second phase of the Genshin Impact 5.2 update on December 10, 2024. The following banners are scheduled for this phase:

Neuvillete (5-star, Hydro, Catalyst)
Zhongli (5-star, Geo, Polearm)
Tome of the Eternal Flow (5-star Catalyst)
Vortex Vanquisher (5-star Polearm)

Phase II will prominently feature two of the game’s most beloved characters: Neuvillete and Zhongli. Neuvillete, often regarded as an exceptional main DPS unit, makes his second return, providing players with an opportunity to strengthen their roster.

Zhongli, on the other hand, makes his fifth rerun—a record number for any character in Genshin Impact. Known as the Geo Archon, he is celebrated for his powerful shields and seamless integration into various team compositions, making him an invaluable asset.

Assuming the update schedule stays consistent, the banners for Phase II will be available until December 31, 2024.
