Genshin Impact 6.4 "Luna V": Banners, Characters, and Phases
Version 6.4's banner lineup revolves around the debut of Varka and reruns of several high‑profile characters.
-Phase I ----- February 25 ~ March 17 -----
- Character Banners
Phase I features Varka's first run, along with a rerun banner, Flins.
- Varka ----- NEW!
★★★★★ | Anemo claymore DPS
His kit focuses on an aggressive on‑field style: he enters a powered‑up state, swings faster and harder, and can convert his damage based on his teammates’ elements, making him very flexible for different reaction teams. Because of that design, he wants specific supports (for example classic Anemo synergies like Venti or strong elemental batteries) to fully shine and can feel team‑dependent if you lack those units.
In simple terms, Varka is a "stay on the field and carry" character who rewards committed play and careful team building.
- Flins ----- RERUN!
★★★★★ | Electro DPS
In combat, Flins transforms by channeling the power in his lamp, entering Manifest Flame form where his Normal and Charged Attacks deal Electro damage that cannot be overridden. His kit is built around smooth rotations and strong synergy with Lunar‑style reactions and characters like Columbina and Ineffa, making him a very strong Electro hypercarry when properly supported.
Flins tends to feel “plug‑and‑play” once you have his ideal partners, with consistent Electro damage and straightforward gameplay.
- Weapon Banners
- Varka's signature 5‑star claymore, often translated as Gest of the Might Wolf or similar naming.
- Flins's signature weapon.
- A selection of 4‑star weapons like Sacrificer's Sword and Sacrificer's Staff, among others.
-Phase II ----- March 17 ~ April 7 -----
- Character Banners
Phase II continues the "Luna V" theme with reruns rather than more new characters.
Featured two 5‑star rerun characters:
- Skirk----- RERUN!
Skirk returns on her rerun banner "Void Star’s Advent", available during Phase 2 of Version 6.4 from March 17, 2026, to April 7, 2026. As a 5‑star Cryo hypercarry, she excels at front‑loaded burst damage and sustained Cryo application, making her a strong pick for freeze, melt, and mono‑Cryo teams. Her banner shares the standard event‑wish rules (50% chance to get Skirk on your first 5‑star, guaranteed on the next if you lose the 50/50) and runs in parallel with Escoffier’s banner, letting you choose which Cryo playstyle you want to invest in.
- Escoffier ----- RERUN!
Escoffier’s rerun banner "La Chanson Cerise" also runs in Phase 2, with the same March 17–April 7, 2026 schedule, alongside Skirk's banner. He functions primarily as a Cryo support and buffer, amplifying Cryo damage and enhancing Cryo teams that revolve around carries like Skirk. Like other limited character banners, Escoffier’s wish includes all standard 5‑stars in the pool, but he is the only limited 5‑star you can obtain from his banner, with the usual 50/50 and guaranteed mechanics applying.
