HoYoverse has confirmed three major banners for the second half of the update: Frostedge Nocturne, Ancient Flame Ablaze, and the weapon-focused Epitome Invocation. For players who have been traversing the diverse regions of Teyvat, this phase represents a critical opportunity to bolster their rosters with specialized elemental powerhouses.
As we navigate the deep lore of Genshin Impact, the choice between Cryo and Pyro units often dictates how you handle high-level spiral abyss floors and world bosses. The Frostedge Nocturne banner likely centers on high-utility Cryo applications, while Ancient Flame Ablaze suggests a heavy-hitting Pyro presence—a classic reliable choice for triggering those massive Vaporize and Melt reactions.
The Epitome Invocation weapon banner will run alongside these character releases, typically featuring signature 5-star weapons designed to maximize the specific stats of the featured Phase II characters. If you are looking to min-max your builds or finally secure that missing piece of your endgame team, June 9 is the date to watch.
With the gods in Celestia watching over the balance of Teyvat, managing your pity and Primogems remains the most important strategy for any Traveler. Whether you are saving for the rumored forbidden technologies of lost empires or just want a new kenshi for your party, this rotation offers a distinct choice in playstyles.
