Genshin Impact 6.7, also called Luna VIII, closes out the Nod-Krai chapter with a packed wish schedule. The update introduces Sandrone, the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers, and pairs her debut with a run of strong reruns before the game moves on to Snezhnaya. The banners split across two phases, plus a brand-new banner type and a weapon lineup tied to the version’s new reaction.
Quick answer: Phase 1 runs from July 1 to July 21, 2026, with Sandrone’s debut and Citlali’s rerun. Phase 2 runs from July 21 to August 11, 2026, featuring Columbina’s first rerun and Raiden Shogun’s rerun.
Genshin Impact 6.7 (Luna VIII) banner schedule
Version 6.7 launches on July 1, 2026. The character banners run in two phases of roughly three weeks each, with the second phase ending the version on August 11, 2026.
| Phase | Dates | Featured characters |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | July 1 – July 21, 2026 | Sandrone (new), Citlali (rerun) |
| Phase 2 | July 21 – August 11, 2026 | Columbina (rerun), Raiden Shogun (rerun) |
Phase 1: Sandrone debut and Citlali rerun
Sandrone, codenamed “Marionette,” is the headline addition. She is a new 5-star Cryo Claymore user who acts as a main DPS, leaning on her Charged Attack and Elemental Skill to deal damage. Her kit is built around Stellar-Conduct, a new variant of the Superconduct reaction introduced in this version. Her debut banner carries the name To the Looking-Glass the Mademoiselle Said.
Citlali joins her in the first half on the Starry Night’s Whispers banner. She is a Cryo support who provides a shield, shreds enemy Pyro and Hydro resistance, and applies off-field Cryo, which makes her a flexible pick for melt teams. Both banners share the same July 1 to July 21 window.
Phase 2: Columbina and Raiden Shogun reruns
The second half brings Columbina’s first rerun, under the Somnias a Luna banner. She first arrived in Version 6.3 and remains one of the strongest options for Lunar-reaction teams, with off-field Hydro damage and support for Lunar-Bloom comps. For players still building those teams, this is the first chance to add her since launch.
Raiden Shogun returns alongside her on the Reign of Serenity banner. This is another rerun for the Electro Archon. She has slipped out of the meta spotlight, but the new Stellar-Conduct reaction could give her renewed relevance in Electro-Cryo setups. Phase 2 runs from July 21 to August 11, 2026.
Version 6.7 weapon banners
The Epitome Invocation weapon banner follows the same two-phase split. Phase 1 features A Teaspoon of Transcendence, which is Sandrone’s signature 5-star Catalyst, alongside Starcaller. Phase 2 swaps in Nocturne and Engulfing Lightning, Raiden Shogun’s signature Polearm.
| Phase | Dates | Featured weapons |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | July 1 – July 21, 2026 | A Teaspoon of Transcendence, Starcaller |
| Phase 2 | July 21 – August 11, 2026 | Nocturne, Engulfing Lightning |
Lightrace Wish: a new banner type
Luna VIII adds a new banner format called the Lightrace Wish. It collects characters who are receiving buffs connected to the Stellar-Conduct reaction, giving older units a reason to come back into rotation. Importantly, the Lightrace Wish shares its wish guarantee count with the Chronicled Wish, so pulls on one carry over to the other.
The featured characters and weapons on the Lightrace Wish are listed below.
| Characters | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Yae Miko (Electro) | Kagura’s Verity (Catalyst) |
| Cyno (Electro) | Staff of the Scarlet Sands (Polearm) |
| Wriothesley (Cryo) | Cashflow Supervision (Catalyst) |
| Qiqi (Cryo) | Skyward Blade (Sword) |
| Mizuki (Anemo) | Sunny Morning Sleep-In (Catalyst) |
For anyone planning pulls, the priority calls are fairly clear. Sandrone is the version’s defining new unit and the centerpiece of the Stellar-Conduct meta, while Columbina remains a top-tier support for Lunar-reaction teams. Citlali fits melt comps and pairs well with Pyro carries, and Raiden Shogun is the lower-value option of the four unless the new reaction lifts her output. Save your Primogems for the half that lines up with your roster, since Luna VIII is the final stop before the Snezhnaya chapter begins.
