What are the Genshin Impact 3.6 banners? With a new slate of banners on the way, it’s once again time to start saving your Primogems. This is especially important given all the new and returning characters speculated to be in the version 3.6 banners, including highly anticipated characters rumoured for over a year. To help you keep track and manage your Primogems, here’s everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact 3.6 banners, including new characters and reruns.

To help you get all the Genshin Impact characters and weapons on your shopping list in the current Genshin Impact banners and next Genshin Impact banners, we’ve prepared a handy Genshin Impact codes guide. After all, you can’t argue with free Primogems.

The Genshin Impact 3.6 banners include Nahida, Nilou, Baizhu, Ganyu, and Kaveh. HoYoverse confirmed the banners during the recent 3.6 livestream.

These are all the characters you can earn in the version 3.6 banners:

  • Nahida (Phase 1 – five-star)
  • Nilou (Phase 1 – five-star)
  • Kuki Shinobu (Phase 1 – four-star)
  • Layla (Phase 1 – four-star)
  • Dori (Phase 2 – four-star)
  • Baizhu (Phase 2 – five-star)
  • Ganyu (Phase 2- five-star)
  • Kaveh (Phase 2 – four-star)

Needless to say, these are some excellent banners. This would mark the first Nahida rerun, so players who missed out on one of the best characters in the Genshin Impact tier list. What’s more, Nahida also works great with Nilou who many players might have skipped on her initial release. While Dori is on the weaker side, Layla and especially Kuki Shinobu are great four-star additions to the banner.

Ganyu is also a staple Cryo DPS character, so a Ganyu rerun is a chance to grab another powerful character. As for Baizhu and Kaveh, their power is currently unknown but they are hotly anticipated releases.

There’s also the version 3.6 weapons up for grabs:

  • A Thousand Floating Dreams (Phase 1 – five-star catalyst)
  • Key of Khaj-Nisut (Phase 1 – five-star sword)
  • Xiphos’ Moonlight (Phase 1 – four-star sword)
  • Favonius Greatsword (Phase 1 – four-star claymore)
  • Dragon’s Bane (Phase 1 – four-star polearm)
  • Sacrificial Fragments (Phase 1 – four-star catalyst)
  • The Stringless (Phase 1 – four-star bow)

Now that you know all the Genshin Impact 3.6 banners characters and weapons, you can decide whether you want to start saving your Primogems or spend them on the Genshin Impact 3.5 banners instead.

When not playing Honkai Star Rail, Destiny, or any other looter-shooter, Rory is writing about them avidly. In fact, having played Bungie's looter-shooter ever since launch, it's one of his most played games of all time, with thousands of hours sunk into it's rich universe. His love for all things loot, RPGs, and questing led him to begin a career as a freelance games journalist before becoming a full-time guides writer for The Loadout. Since then, he's written hundreds of guides covering everything from his old favorites to new titles like FC 24 and Assassin's Creed Mirage. There's also a high chance that he's using his History degree to make some wild connection to real history in the games we love on PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. He's fascinated by the connection between the Cold War and the development of the first 'true' videogames, and the way our experiences shape the gaming industry and how we interact with it.
