Genshin Impact 2.4: Ganyu's banner release date and time

Ganyu, the finest damage dealer in Genshin Impact, returns in the second wave of the 2.4 updates. Due to her damage output that significantly outshines other DPS characters, fans all over the world have been anticipating the arrival of the five-star Cryo bow unit.

The rerun banner for Ganyu will be complemented by the rerun banner for Zhongli. The featured four-star characters and pity will be shared by both banners. Here's everything you need to know about Ganyu's banner and the upcoming Epitome Invocation banner.

Ganyu's banner release date and time in Genshin Impact version 2.4

On January 25, 2022, Ganyu's banner will be unveiled. Each zone, however, has a separate release time. The developers appear to want to release characters when the targetted player base is at its most active.

The following are the release dates for major server regions:

• Asia - 6:00 PM UTC+8
• EU - 6:00 PM Central European Time
• NA - 6:00 PM Eastern Time on January 26, 2022

Players on Asian servers will get initial access to the banner, while those in North America would have to wait for the longest.

The four-star characters who will appear on Ganyu's banner are:

• Xingqiu
• Beidou
• Yanfei

Xingiqu is clearly one of the strongest support characters, while Yanfei and Beidou are underappreciated damage dealers.

Weapon banner for the second phase of Genshin Impact version 2.4 revealed

Recently, the weapon banners in Genshin Impact have been extremely rewarding. The developers have started adding two distinctive weapons for five-star units to the weapon banner since the introduction of character event wish-2 banners.

The signature weapons for Zhongli and Ganyu will be featured on the future Epitome Invocation banner:

• Vortex Vanquisher (five-star Polearm for Zhongli)
• Amos' Bow (five-star bow for Ganyu)

Amos' Bow is a weapon designed specifically for Ganyu. It focuses on boosting her Charged Attack damage, and it makes her virtually invincible. Regardless, Ganyu is a F2P-friendly character, and several readily available four-star bows perform well with her.

The featured four-star weapons in the banner will be:

• Lithic Blade (4-star claymore)
• Favonius Sword (4-star sword)
• Dragon's Bane (4-star polearm)
• Favonius Codex (4-star catalyst)
• Sacrificial Bow (4-star bow)

Many of the support characters in Genshin Impact will benefit from the four-star weaponry in the upcoming Epitome Invocation banner. Players who want to diversify their teams won't be disappointed with the impending character and weapon banners, it appears.
