Genshin Impact 2.7 Banner Characters and Weapons
Two new playable characters make their debut in 2.7 Banner Wishes: Yelan during the first phase of Banner, Discerner of Enigmas, and Kuki Shinobu as part of Banner’s second phase, Oni’s Royale.
All featured banner characters you can wish on in the 2.7 update include:
- Yelan (Discern of Enigmas Banner – Phase 1): New 5-star Hydro archer character with high DPS (damage per second) and fast movement speed, which can also be used in a support role.
- Xiao (Worldly Life Banner Invitation – Phase 1): The returning 5-star Anemo polearm wielder with high DPS, who is also good at exploration.
- Arataki Itto (Royal Oni Banner – Phase 2): Return of the Geo 5-Star Claymore character with very high DPS and critical damage abilities.
- Kuki Shinobu (Royal Banner of Oni – Phase 2): New Electro 4-Star Sword user that is best used in a support role, but also deals good Electro AoE (area of effect) damage. Has a huge drop boost for 2.7.
The only the new weapon banner in 2.7 is the Aqua Simulacraa 5-star bow, which you can spend wishes on throughout both phases.
Phase 1 is expected to last three weeks, then transition to Phase 2 for three weeks until the events of Banner 2.7 end in preparation for Update 2.8.

With a permanent new story in the Archon Quest Interlude Chapter, there are four time-limited events happening during Genshin Impact 2.7. We do not yet know exactly when these events will occur, but we do know that they will occur between May 31 and July 12.
Perilous Path (Realms of Cunning and War)
These Battle Challenges will be unlocked as part of the Archon Quest Interlude Chapter. After each domain tour, you must reorganize your group according to the domain rules.

This second combat event will take place in The Chasm. You must avoid mysterious black slime while defeating monsters, escorting hot air balloons, and trying to achieve a high score in order to complete a rotating pool of challenges.
The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong Festival
As part of this rhythm-based musical mini-game, you will be given a drum to use. Choose from Normal, Hard, and Pro difficulties to earn more rewards with harder challenges. Additionally, new options for Offset Calibration and Music Note Speed Adjustment will be available in the settings menu. You can also find special gifts and messages left by familiar friends at the festival.
