Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 – Huge Zhongli & Arlecchino Banner Rerun

Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 is shaping up to be one of the most-watched banner windows in the current leak cycle, with credible community sources suggesting a rerun lineup featuring Zhongli and Arlecchino. But as always with Genshin leaks, knowing what’s reliable—and what’s not—is the key to making smart primogem decisions.

This guide breaks down everything we know so far: which parts come from actual sources, which parts are still unconfirmed, and how you should plan your pulls if this banner lineup becomes real. Keep scrolling for the verified info first, then the practical build and pull strategy you can use the moment Phase 2 drops!

Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 – Confirmed Facts vs. Leaked Info

As of today, HoYoverse has not officially announced the Version 6.1 Phase 2 banners. All Zhongli and Arlecchino rerun information is based on leaks, community reports, and third-party breakdowns—not official notices.

A widely circulated banner article lists Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 as a paired rerun for Zhongli and Arlecchino, associated with the Luna II cycle. Treat this as a leak, not an official banner reveal.

Separate community discussions about 6.2 domain leaks also exist, but these do not affect the Phase 2 banner lineup and should be viewed purely as background noise for long-term patch speculation.

Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 – Leaked Banner Timing & Contents

According to a detailed banner roundup, Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 is expected to run around:

November 11 – December 2, 2025 

with reruns for:

• Zhongli (5-Star)
• Arlecchino (5-Star)

and weapons:

• Vortex Vanquisher (5-Star Polearm)

Should You Pull in Genshin 6.1 Phase 2?

Zhongli (5-Star) – The Universal Comfort Pick

Zhongli remains the strongest universal shielder in Genshin Impact, giving any team instant survivability and resistance shred through his Jade Shield. His kit is simple, reliable, and works in every type of content—from Abyss floors to world bosses—making him one of the easiest characters to slot into any roster. He pairs well with virtually every DPS, especially squishier carries that benefit from uninterrupted uptime.

If your account needs stability, safer rotations, or a dependable way to handle high-pressure fights, Zhongli is one of the most valuable 5-Star units you can pull.

Arlecchino (5-Star) – The Hypercarry That Deletes Bosses

Arlecchino is a top-tier single-target hypercarry with fast, front-loaded Pyro damage that melts bosses and elite enemies. She scales extremely well with a balanced CRIT Ratio, and her damage skyrockets when paired with strong attack buffers like Bennett or Furina. Her kit is built for players who enjoy staying on-field and driving the entire rotation themselves.

If your account needs a reliable, high-damage carry who can handle tough late-game enemies on her own, Arlecchino is one of the best 5-Star units you can pull.

Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 – 4-Star Units & Weapon Banner

The same leak lists a full 4-Star roster for both the character and weapon banners. While it’s helpful for planning, these details are not official and can still change.

Always wait for the in-game Event Wish preview before spending primogems.

Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 – Pull Strategy (F2P & Low-Spender Safe)

1. Wait for the official notice.
   Do not pull based on leaks alone—confirm the banner in the client.
   
2. Pick a priority:
   • Defensive comfort → Zhongli
   • High personal DPS → Arlecchino
3. Avoid pulling both unless you’re prepared.
   Two 5-Star reruns in one phase is expensive.
   
4. Weapon banner warning:
   Only pull if you want both 5-Stars and at least two 4-Stars on the banner.
   
5. Pre-farm:
   • Tenacity pieces for Zhongli
   • Marechausse Hunter for Arlecchino
   • Talent books and monster drops for both

What to Watch Next

• Special Program announcements
• In-game Event Wish preview
• Official social media posts
• Community trackers summarizing final banner changes

If the leaks hold, Genshin 6.1 Phase 2 could be one of the strongest double rerun windows in the Luna cycle. Zhongli provides game-changing survivability, while Arlecchino delivers top-end damage that makes boss fights trivial. Just remember to lock your pulls only after the Event Wish goes live in-game.

And don’t forget you can top up Genshin Impact on Joytify to prep for your pulls, secure weapons, and enter the Luna cycle stacked with primos.
