Genshin Impact just announced the second half banners for Version 5.7, featuring Mavuika and Emilie alongside Xiangling, Yao Yao, and Iansan. With Natlan wrapping up, the game’s setting up some key reruns before the Traveler and Paimon head to Nod-Krai. Mualani, Citlali, and Chasca are lined up for Version 5.8’s Event Banners, but you can pull for the Pyro Archon a patch earlier.
The first half of Version 5.7 brought Shenhe’s surprise rerun and Skirk’s long-awaited debut. Skirk’s banner was a hit, but some players felt her kit leaned too heavily on Escoffier. If you’re looking for a more versatile hypercarry, Mavuika’s got you covered—she shines in Melt, Vaporize, Overload, and Burning teams. To make the most of her, though, pair her with Natlan characters for a top-tier team.
The second half banners for Version 5.7 will be live from July 8, 2025, to July 30, 2025. Mavuika and Emilie are the 5-Star highlights, joined by Iansan, Xiangling, and Yao Yao. Emilie’s a solid Support who can boost Burning teams, but the real gems here are the 4-Stars. Iansan’s one of the best Supports in the game, with Constellations that add serious value. Yao Yao’s a reliable Dendro healer, and Xiangling’s been a go-to since the game launched.
Genshin Impact: Version 5.7 Second Half Banners
- Mavuika – 5-Star Pyro Claymore
- Emilie – 5-Star Dendro Polearm
- Iansan – 4-Star Electro Polearm
- Xiangling – 4-Star Pyro Polearm
- Yao Yao – 4-Star Dendro Polearm
The Weapon Banner, though, isn’t as exciting. Lumidouce Elegy and A Thousand Blazing Suns are great Signature Weapons, but they’re stuck with lackluster 4-Stars like Rust and Rainslasher. Unless you really want Mavuika’s or Emilie’s Signature Weapon, you might want to skip this one.
Version 5.8 will bring a ton of Primogems, but players have been through a couple of rough patches lately. If you’ve saved up for Emilie or Mavuika, you’re in good shape with this banner. But if you went all-in on Escoffier or Skirk, you might need to think twice. With Ineffa and Nod-Krai’s crew on the horizon, it could be smarter to save your Primogems and see what the new region shakes up in the meta.
