When Columbina’s Rerun Banner Goes Live in Genshin Impact 6.7 (Luna VIII)

Columbina returns in Phase 2 alongside Raiden Shogun, with server-by-server start times and the full featured lineup.

Columbina returns in Phase 2 alongside Raiden Shogun, with server-by-server start times and the full featured lineup.

Columbina gets her first rerun in the back half of Genshin Impact Version 6.7 Luna VIII, running as a dual banner with Raiden Shogun. If you skipped her debut or want a second copy, this is the window to pull before the version closes out the Song of the Welkin Moon arc.

Quick answer: Columbina’s rerun banner, “Somnias a Luna,” starts July 21, 2026 at 6:00 PM server time and ends August 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM server time. It runs on your own regional clock, so the same local time applies whether you play on Asia, Europe, or America servers.

Release time: July 21, 2026, 6:00 PM (UTC+8, Asia server)


Columbina rerun start time by server

The Phase 2 banners switch on at 6:00 PM local server time, not at one shared global moment. That means each region hits the same clock reading on its own timezone. Here is how it lines up.

How to confirm the banner is live

You do not need a client update or maintenance for Phase 2. The swap happens on a server timer while you are already on Version 6.7.

Once the clock passes 6:00 PM on your server on July 21, open the Wish menu. The Phase 1 Sandrone and Citlali banners disappear at the same moment Columbina and Raiden Shogun appear.
Look for the “Somnias a Luna” character banner headlining Columbina. If it shows up next to Raiden Shogun’s “Reign of Serenity” banner, you are on Phase 2 and can start pulling.

Columbina is the only 5-star event character you can pull from her banner. The rate-up 4-stars are shared with the promotional pool, and the lineup leans into Electro and Anemo.

The first time you land a 4-star on the banner, there is a 50 percent chance it is one of these three. If it is not, your next 4-star is guaranteed to be a featured one.

The Phase 2 Epitome Invocation runs at the same time, from July 21 to August 11, 2026. It pairs Columbina’s and Raiden Shogun’s signature weapons.

Rotating 4-stars on the weapon banner include Waveriding Whirl, Sacrificial Sword, The Bell, Favonius Lance, and Favonius Warbow.


How the dual banner pity works

Columbina and Raiden Shogun share one wish counter because they run as a dual featured banner. Your pulls and pity carry across both, so plan around a single 90-pull hard pity rather than two separate ones.

Your first 5-star has a 50 percent chance to be the character you pulled on. If you lose that coin flip on Raiden Shogun’s side, your next 5-star is a guaranteed Columbina when you switch back to her banner. Wishes and any pending guarantee also carry over into the next promotional banner set after Phase 2 ends.

Note: The banner closes August 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM server time. Any unspent Intertwined Fate stays in your inventory, but rate-up on Columbina ends the moment the version wraps.
