The Flins and Ineffa rerun banners arrive together in Phase 2 of Version 7.0, replacing the Odette and Arlecchino banners that ran in the first half of the update. Both banners share the same start and end schedule, and the timing shifts by region because each server follows its own local clock.
Quick answer: Flins and Ineffa’s rerun banners go live on September 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM server time (10:00 AM UTC for Asia). They stay available until September 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM server time.
Release time: September 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM UTC (6:00 PM Asia server time, UTC+8)
Banner start times by server region
The banners open at 6:00 PM local server time on September 1, 2026, across all three regions. Because the servers sit in different time zones, the moment they go live in UTC differs for each one.
| Server | Local start time | UTC equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Asia (UTC+8) | Sep 1, 2026 · 6:00 PM | Sep 1, 2026 · 10:00 AM |
| Europe (UTC+1) | Sep 1, 2026 · 6:00 PM | Sep 1, 2026 · 5:00 PM |
| America (UTC-5) | Sep 1, 2026 · 6:00 PM | Sep 1, 2026 · 11:00 PM |
You will know the banners are active when the Wish menu updates to show The Lone Light Knocks at Night (Flins) and Astral Actuation (Ineffa). If the previous Phase 1 banners still appear, the swap has not reached your server yet, and you may need to close and reopen the game after the maintenance or version rollover completes.
Full run window and end times
Both reruns run for three weeks. The window closes on September 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM server time in every region, which lines up with the maintenance window ahead of the following patch. Plan your pulls so any pity carried on the shared wish counter is spent before that cutoff.
| Milestone | Date and time (server local) |
|---|---|
| Banner start | September 1, 2026 · 6:00 PM |
| Banner end | September 22, 2026 · 3:00 PM |
Featured 5-star characters and shared wish counter
Flins is the rate-up 5-star on The Lone Light Knocks at Night, and Ineffa is the rate-up on Astral Actuation. Both are Electro units built around the Lunar-Charged reaction, with Flins acting as the on-field carry and Ineffa serving as his off-field enabler.
These two banners are Event Wish-2 banners, so they share a single wish counter. Pity accumulated on one carries over to the other. If you lose your 50/50 on one banner and pull a different 5-star, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character, and you can switch to the other banner to claim it.
Rate-up 4-star characters
Both banners share the same three featured 4-star characters. The first time you pull a 4-star, there is a 50% chance it is one of these three; if it is not, your next 4-star is guaranteed to be a featured one.
| Character | Element | Weapon |
|---|---|---|
| Aino | Hydro | Claymore |
| Iansan | Electro | Polearm |
| Lan Yan | Anemo | Catalyst |
Weapon banner during Phase 2
The Epitome Invocation weapon banner runs on the same September 1 to September 22 schedule. It features the two signature 5-star polearms alongside a rotation of 4-star weapons with boosted drop rates.
| Weapon | Rarity | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodsoaked Ruins (Flins) | 5-star | Polearm |
| Fractured Halo (Ineffa) | 5-star | Polearm |
| The Flute | 4-star | Sword |
| Favonius Greatsword | 4-star | Claymore |
| Favonius Lance | 4-star | Polearm |
| Eye of Perception | 4-star | Catalyst |
| The Stringless | 4-star | Bow |
Once September 22 passes, the Flins and Ineffa banners close and pity carries forward to the next set of promotional character banners. If your goal is the full Lunar-Charged pairing, budget your wishes across both banners while the shared counter is active, since this is a limited three-week window rather than a permanent addition.
