Genshin Impact 6.5 Banners: Release Date, Leaks, and Rerun Schedule
2026-04-10
If you are trying to plan your pulls, you only need three things: the update date, the banner phases, and a simple saving plan. That’s exactly what this guide covers, and you can find more quick saving guides on BuffBuff too.
One quick note before we jump in. Anything about banner lineups is still subject to change until the in-game Event Wish notice goes live for everyone.
Genshin 6.5 Release Date and Banner Timeline
The Version 6.5 update is widely reported to launch on April 8, 2026.
For the banner timing, the most consistent schedule being reported is:
- Phase 1: April 8, 2026 → April 28, 2026
- Phase 2: April 28, 2026 → May 19, 2026
That gives you roughly six weeks to plan across both phases.
Genshin Impact 6.5 Banners Phase 1: Linnea and Chasca
Phase 1 is currently reported as:
- Linnea (new)
- Chasca (rerun)
Several trackers also list Linnea as a 5-star Geo bow user and Chasca as a 5-star Anemo bow user. Treat those details as “currently reported,” not guaranteed, until the in-game banner details confirm them.
There is also reporting on Phase 1’s featured 4-stars. One updated guide lists Noelle, Illuga, and Aino as the shared 4-star rate-ups, but 4-star lineups are the most likely part to change late.
Genshin 6.5 Banners Phase 2: Lauma and Nefer Rerun Schedule
Phase 2 is currently reported as two reruns:
- Lauma (rerun)
- Nefer (rerun)
Some reporting also describes Lauma and Nefer as Dendro catalyst users. Again, treat the weapon and element labels as “current reporting” until the in-game banner details are visible in your client.
Possible Extra Banner: Chronicled Wish in Genshin Impact 6.5 Banners
Alongside Phase 2, multiple sources mention a Fontaine-themed Chronicled Wish running during Version 6.5. The lineup being circulated includes Emilie, Clorinde, Navia, Sigewinne, and Lyney.
If you plan to pull Chronicled Wish, remember it does not behave exactly like the normal limited banners. For example, it uses Fate Points that reset when the banner ends or when you change your designated pick.
Genshin 6.5 Banner Leaks: What Can Still Change
Weapon banners are usually the last piece of the puzzle. Even when the Phase 1 and Phase 2 character banners look stable, the featured 5-star weapons and the 4-star weapon lineup can shift late. That’s why it’s smarter to treat the 6.5 weapon banner as ‘expected’ until the in-game Event Wish notice is live.
Even if the Phase 1 and Phase 2 5-stars stay the same, a few things can still shift:
- Featured 4-stars are often the last part to lock in publicly.
- Weapon banners can change pairings late, even if the main character lineup stays stable.
- Chronicled Wish roster rules are consistent, but the exact lineup is still something to double-check in-game.
So the safest approach is simple. Plan your Primogems around the character you want most, then treat everything else as optional until it’s confirmed.
Genshin Impact 6.5 Banners Quick Schedule Table
| Version | Phase | Dates | Character Event Wishes |
| Genshin Impact 6.5 | Phase 1 | Apr 8 to Apr 28, 2026 | Linnea (new), Chasca (rerun) |
| Genshin Impact 6.5 | Phase 2 | Apr 28 to May 19, 2026 | Lauma (rerun), Nefer (rerun) |
F2P Primogem Calculation for Linnea: A Simple, Safe Estimate
A lot of “Primogem calculators” online throw huge numbers around. The problem is that events and mail rewards vary. So here’s a safer approach: calculate a baseline you can actually control, then treat everything else as bonus.
Baseline Income You Can Count On
1) Daily Commissions:
Daily Commissions give 60 Primogems per day when you complete all four and claim the bonus.
2) Maintenance compensation:
Version updates typically include 300 Primogems for maintenance, based on the long-running “60 per hour” standard shown in official update notices.
3) Spiral Abyss (optional, skill-dependent):
The Abyssal Moon Spire resets on the 16th of each month, and the listed total Primogem rewards for Floors 9–12 can reach 800 Primogems per reset if you clear everything.
What this Looks Like During Phase 1 (Apr 8 to Apr 28)
Let’s do the math step by step using a simple assumption: you play every day during Phase 1.
- Daily Commissions:
Phase 1 spans 21 calendar days if you count Apr 8 through Apr 28.
21 days × 60 Primogems/day = 1,260 Primogems.
- Maintenance:
Add 300 Primogems = 1,560 Primogems total baseline.
- If you clear Abyss once (Apr 16 reset):
Add up to 800 Primogems = 2,360 Primogems.
Quick pull calculator for Linnea
Genshin wishes cost 160 Primogems each (1 Intertwined Fate).
So:
- 1,560 Primogems ÷ 160 = 9.75 wishes
- 2,360 Primogems ÷ 160 = 14.75 wishes
That’s your “safe math.” Events, quests, exploration, and any temporary codes can add more, but they are not as predictable day-to-day.
Should You Start Saving for Linnea Today?
If Linnea is your priority, the cleanest plan is boring:
Stop spending Primogems on banners you do not truly want. Save everything through the Phase 1 window. Then pull with a clear limit.
A good habit is to set a goal like:
- “I’ll do a small number of pulls and stop,” or
- “I’m going to commit to Linnea and save until I hit my planned pity point.”
That prevents the most common mistake, which is doing “just a few pulls” every time a banner changes, and then having nothing when your actual target arrives.
