Version 7.1 Phase 2 sees the return of Skirk, and Escoffier. So don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull them, and check out our regularly updated tier list.

Genshin Impact 7.2 Banner leaks

The 7.2 livestream will include new codes, some insight into the next events in the storyline, a look at upcoming events and, of course, a look at the upcoming Banners.

Thanks to drip marketing on social media, we already know two of the new characters arriving in the 7.2 Banners. The first is a new 4-Star Electro sword-user called Valeriy. Since Valeriy is a 4-Star character, he'll have boosted spawn rates during at least one of the Banner Phases. The second character is Mitya - a new 5-Star Electro catalyst-user. If you've been keeping up with Genshin's storyline, then you'll have already met Mitya so will you try pulling for him?

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 7.2 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
