Genshin 6.2 Banners – Full Phase 1 & 2 Leak Rundown

Genshin 6.2 banners are already heating up the community, and this patch is shaping up to be one of the strongest lineups we’ve seen in the Luna era. With Durin finally stepping into the spotlight, major reruns lining up back-to-back, and a new 4-star joining the roster, 6.2 is the kind of update that forces every player to rethink their primogem plan.

Dropping around December 3, 2025 if the schedule stays consistent, this patch blends hype units with practical reruns — making it a real decision-maker for meta players, collectors, and returning players trying to catch up. Here’s everything verified, leaked, and worth prepping for.

Genshin 6.2 Banners – Phase 1 & Phase 2 Overview

Phase 1: Durin & Varesa (Rerun)

Phase 1 is built around the long-awaited debut of Durin, a 5-Star Pyro Sword character whose leaked kit mixes offensive windows with supportive buffing. Early footage and text leaks hint at hybrid scaling that makes him surprisingly flexible.

Alongside him is Varesa, returning for players who missed her first run. She remains one of the most universally useful utility units in the Luna/Natlan meta, so this is a strong rerun cycle.

Phase 2: Xilonen (Rerun) & Venti (Rerun)

Patch 6.2 brings two high-impact reruns:

• Xilonen, still considered one of the best DEF-scaling supports/sub-DPS units in the current game
  
• Venti, the classic Anemo king returning with value for exploration, funneling, and multi-target Abyss floors

Phase 2 is basically “comfort picks for any account.”

New 4-Star: Jahoda

Jahoda debuts in 6.2 as a new Anemo Bow 4-star with supportive CC and swirl utility. She’s expected to appear across both phases, but final placement isn’t confirmed.

Durin Kit & Abilities Breakdown 

Durin’s kit is still based on leaks and early text dumps, but the overall structure across multiple sources paints a consistent picture: a Pyro hybrid unit who mixes off-field support with short, explosive on-field damage windows. Think of him as a flexible Pyro slot similar in spirit to Clorinde + Bennett hybridization — but with his own twist.

Elemental Skill 

Durin’s Skill appears to revolve around a short-range Pyro attack or mark that applies a consistent Pyro hit and triggers extra effects based on his state.
What the leaks agree on:

• The Skill applies Pyro reliably
  
• It enables part of his “hybrid” scaling (ATK + secondary buff value)
  
• It ties into his Burst’s enhanced mode
  This makes his Skill feel like the backbone of his rotation, very similar to characters whose Skill determines buff/debuff uptime.

Elemental Burst 

His Burst seems to activate a temporary empowered stance where:

• Durin gains increased personal damage
  
• His Pyro application rate jumps
  
• Team buff effects (Pyro DMG or general DMG Bonus) activate
  This puts him in the same class as “burst-window carries” — short, hard-hitting rotations that fit well with fast-swap teams.

Passives 

While no passive names have leaked, testers and text-dump trackers consistently mention:

• A passive tied to amplifying the Burst’s empowered state
  
• A passive that gives teamwide value (likely Pyro DMG Bonus or general damage amplification)
  
• A possible synergy passive that enhances reaction teams or amplifies his hybrid scaling

Genshin 6.2 Weapon Banners – Early Expectations

Phase 1 Weapons

Durin headlines with his signature 5-Star Sword, which leaks describe as a stat-dense Pyro option built to amplify his hybrid kit.
Varesa’s signature weapon also reruns, making this a high-value banner if you’re pulling Phase 1 characters.

Phase 2 Weapons

• Xilonen’s signature sword returns, supporting DEF-based builds
  
• Elegy for the End (Venti) also reruns, and it’s still one of the strongest buff-bows in the game

This banner is more specialized but still extremely valuable depending on your account needs.

Best Early Team Comps for the Genshin 6.2 Banners

Durin Teams

Durin’s leaked kit suggests he fits comfortably into both reaction-based and hybrid-Geo shells. Early synergy examples include:

• Durin + Furina + Xiangling + Bennett
  
• Durin + Navia + Zhongli + Bennett
  
• Durin + Fischl + Clorinde + Jean

Xilonen Teams

She remains one of the easiest characters to build around:

• Xilonen + Navia + Bennett + Zhongli
  
• Xilonen + Neuvillette + Furina
  
• Xilonen + Clorinde + Fischl

Venti Teams

Still iconic in anything multi-target or funnel-heavy:

• Venti + Xiangling + Bennett + Xingqiu
  
• Venti + Neuvillette + Furina
  
• Venti + Ganyu freeze cores

Should You Pull the Genshin 6.2 Banners?

Pull Durin if:

You want a new Pyro hybrid unit with both damage and buff potential.

Pull Varesa if:

You need an all-rounder utility unit who still performs strongly across most team styles.

Pull Xilonen if:

You want a stable support/sub-DPS who works with almost every element.

Pull Venti if:

You value exploration, overworld speed, and multi-target Abyss dominance.

If your primogems are limited, Durin and Xilonen are the highest-value choices in 6.2.

Genshin 6.2 Events – What Leaks Suggest So Far

Leakers point toward a multi-event patch including:

• A Natlan-linked festival tied to Durin’s story arc
  
• A combat challenge event with rotating modifiers
  
• A Jahoda trial event so players can test the new 4-star
  
• Multiple material and artifact rerun events

These events normally total around 2,000+ primogems, depending on Web Events and the Battle Pass cycle.

Genshin 6.2 Story Content – Leaks & Expected Additions

Patch 6.2 is expected to continue the Luna III narrative, bringing:

• A new Durin story quest
  
• A possible Jahoda hangout or character mission
  
• Expansion to Luna/Natlan lore
  
• A new domain tied to Durin’s region or his mechanic

HoYoverse has not confirmed these, but leak consistency is high.

How to Prepare for Genshin 6.2 Banners

Farm Ascension Materials Early

Durin and Jahoda will both require new regional drops plus standard Pyro/Anemo gems. Farm books, boss mats, and weapon materials in advance.

Plan Your Primogem Route

Save enough for your priority unit:

• 75–90 pulls for 50/50
  
• 180 pulls for character + weapon safety

Pre-Build Supporting Units

Bennett, Xiangling, Jean, Fischl, Navia, Zhongli, Furina

Review Your Weapon Inventory
