Durin, the 5-star Pyro Sword character, returns for his first rerun banner in Genshin Impact Version 6.6 "Luna VII." The rerun begins right after the 6.6 update goes live, which means players who skipped his original debut in Version 6.2 have a fresh window to pull for him before Phase 2 swaps the lineup.
Release time: May 20, 2026 at 03:00 UTC (May 19, 11:00 PM ET)
When the Durin rerun goes live
Version 6.6 launches after a standard five-hour maintenance window that begins on May 19, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. Once servers come back online, the Phase 1 banners open simultaneously across all regions. Durin shares the spotlight with Nicole's debut banner during this phase.
Here is the exact server start time across major timezones:
| Timezone | Durin rerun starts | Phase 1 ends |
|---|---|---|

Phase 1 banner lineup
Durin's rerun banner is titled Rubedo, of White Stone Born, the same name used during his original debut in Version 6.2. It runs in parallel with Nicole's debut banner, Angel's Reverie, for the entire three-week phase. Both banners share the same featured 4-star pool.
| Banner | 5-star featured | 4-star featured |
|---|---|---|
| Rubedo, of White Stone Born | Durin (Pyro Sword) | Prune, Razor, Fischl |
| Angel's Reverie | Nicole (Pyro Catalyst) | Prune, Razor, Fischl |
Prune is a brand-new 4-star Anemo Catalyst character debuting in this phase, so pulling on either banner gives you a chance at her alongside the rate-up 5-star.
Weapon banner for Phase 1
The Epitome Invocation weapon banner running alongside Phase 1 features Durin's signature 5-star Sword, Athame Artis, paired with Nicole's signature 5-star Catalyst. If you are building Durin as your main DPS, his signature weapon shares the same banner window as his character rerun.
How long you have to pull
Phase 1 lasts roughly three weeks, ending on June 9, 2026, when Phase 2 begins with Lohen's debut and Mavuika's rerun. After June 9, Durin's banner will no longer be available, and his next rerun is not on any confirmed schedule. If you are saving Primogems specifically for him, the window closes the moment Phase 2 banners replace the current ones.
Durin at a glance
Durin is a 5-star Pyro Sword DPS originally released in Version 6.2 on December 3, 2025. His kit centers on aggressive, damage-focused playstyles and is built to work alongside the Hexerei character lineup that Version 6.6 expands further with Nicole. Pairing him with Nicole's team-wide ATK buffs and off-field Pyro damage is the intended synergy for the Phase 1 banners.
If you missed his original run six months ago, this is currently the only confirmed window to add him to your roster before the game moves on to Snezhnaya content in Version 7.0.
