2nd January 2025
Hey Travelers! The air in Teyvat is buzzing with anticipation. While the official livestream is still on the horizon, we’ve pieced together a seriously exciting preview of what’s coming in the next major update (what the community calls 6.3). We’re talking blockbuster character returns, a brand-new gameplay event that’s pure fun, and of course, your guide to snagging those crucial free Primogem codes the second they drop.
Let’s break down everything you need to know to prepare.
The Banner Line-Up Genshin: A Meta-Defining & Long-Awaited Double Feature
Get your Primogem stockpiles ready, because Phase 1 is rumored to be one of the most impactful in recent memory. This isn’t just a banner; it’s a strategic goldmine.
Phase 1: The Powerhouse Debut & The Ultimate Support’s Return
- New Character: The Chasm’s Sentinel, [Character Name – e.g., “Jiangxun”] (5-Star, Geo, Sword). Hailing from Liyue, this enigmatic guardian of the deep Chasm is poised to shake up the Geo meta. Leaks suggest a kit focused on constructing unique Geo formations that persistently damage enemies and provide team-wide defensive utility. Think less about a simple shield and more about creating a literal fortress on the battlefield. If you love strategic, zone-control gameplay, this is your character.
- Rerun Character: The Conqueror of Demons, Xiao (5-Star, Anemo, Polearm). That’s right, the vigilant Yaksha is finally back! For players who missed him or are looking for his constellations, this is the moment. His high-risk, high-reward plunge attack playstyle remains one of the most satisfying in the game.
- Weapon Banner: The signature weapon “Vigilance of the Depths” (Sword) for the new character will run alongside Xiao’s iconic “Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.” This weapon banner is shaping up to be exceptionally valuable, with both weapons being top-tier for their respective roles.
Phase 2: The Electro Archon’s Reign Continues
Rerun Character: The Plane of Euthymia’s Ruler, Raiden Shogun (5-Star, Electro, Polearm). The almighty Narukami Ogosho returns once more. As one of the most versatile units in the game a devastating burst DPS, a peerless Electro applicator, and the best battery support rolled into one she remains a crown jewel for any account. If you don’t have her yet, seriously consider it.
Table: Expected 6.3 Banner Schedule & Value
| Phase | Featured 5-Stars | Element / Role | Why Pull? |
| Phase 1 | New: Jiangxun | Geo / Sub-DPS & Zone Control | Introduces new Geo mechanics, creates persistent damage fields, and enables fresh team archetypes. |
| Phase 1 | Rerun: Xiao | Anemo / Main DPS | Unmatched AoE plunge damage, high mobility, and a fast-paced, classic powerhouse playstyle. |
| Phase 2 | Rerun: Raiden Shogun | Electro / Burst DPS & Support | The ultimate team battery—enables top meta teams (Rational, Hypercarry) with massive burst damage and energy regen. |
Events & New Content: A Festival of Fun & Rewards
Beyond the wishes, a vibrant new event is set to take center stage.
- Flagship Event: “Mondstadt Windblume Rejuvenation” The Windblume Festival returns, but with a twist! This year, it’s combined with a “City Defense” tower-defense style mini-game. Protect Mondstadt from waves of enemies by strategically placing character turrets and utilizing environmental effects. The grand prize? A free copy of the 4-Star Cryo archer, Diona (or her constellations), perfect for shielding and healing.
- “Vagabond’s Gauntlet” Returns: The ultimate combat challenge is back with new, brutal difficulty modifiers for the true combat enthusiasts. Flex your best teams and claim those prestigious namecard rewards.
- “Treasure Hunters’ Extravaganza”: A new, puzzle-focused exploration event across all seven nations. Use your new “Treasure-Seeking Seelie” gadget to unearth hidden troves of Mora, EXP books, and of course Primogems.

Yes! A new Story Interlude Chapter focusing on Xiao and his connection to the new character from the Chasm is heavily anticipated, delving deeper into the aftermath of the Chasm’s events.

Bottom Line: Start Saving Now
Version 6.3 is shaping up to be a “must-save” patch. With two of the game’s most iconic DPS characters (Xiao and Raiden) running alongside a potentially meta-shifting new Geo unit, your Primogems will be in high demand. Pair that with a fun, reward-packed flagship event and the possibility of major quality-of-life improvements, and this update is looking absolutely stacked.
