Genshin Impact 3.5 Phase 2 Shenhe and Ayaka Banners: 4-star characters, weapon banners, and release date
As the first phase of Genshin Impact 3.5 comes to a close, HoYoverse has officially announced the banners for Version 3.5 Phase 2.
The arrival of the new 4-star character Mika and the banner reruns of the 5-star characters Shenhe and Ayaka were previously revealed during the Genshin Impact 3.5 Livestream or Special Program. However, as usual, this announcement did not include the other two featured 4-star characters and the weapon banners for the upcoming phase.
Now, everything that players can expect in Genshin Impact 3.5 Phase 2 has been revealed, at least in terms of banners. Here’s everything that you need to know!
Genshin Impact 3.5 Phase 2 banners and release date
As mentioned, the 5-star characters Shenhe and Ayaka will have their banner reruns in Genshin Impact 3.5 Phase 2. This is a long-awaited rerun for Shenhe since her debut in January 2022. On the other hand, Ayaka is back since her incredibly long rerun in Version 2.6.

4-STAR CHARACTERS
As for the 4-star characters, the Cryo character Mika will finally be released. However, while he can unlock the Cryo Elemental Resonance when paired with a Cryo DPS like Ayaka, Mika is a support unit that shines better with a Physical DPS. The Surveyor of the Knights of Favonius will most likely be the best option for boosting the likes of the 5-star Cryo character Eula, who is conventionally built as a Physical DPS unit.
For players who are only trying to get Ayaka from these banners and don’t have a support unit for her, the Cryo character Diona will be the best choice. This bartender with cat-like features can provide shields and heal the team!
Lastly, the Anemo character Sucrose has valuable supportive capabilities, including Elemental Absorption and Elemental Mastery increase. When equipped with a 4-piece Viridescent Venerer artifact set, she can decrease the enemy’s Elemental RES.
EPITOME INVOCATION WEAPON BANNER
The Epitome Invocation Weapon Banner will feature the signature weapons of Shenhe and Ayaka. These are Calamity Queller (Polearm) and Mistsplitter Reforged (Sword), respectively. Both weapons work perfectly for the two characters’ playstyle.

On the other hand, the 4-star weapons that will have increased drop rates are Wine and Song (Catalyst), The Bell (Claymore), Sacrificial Sword (Sword), Favonius Lance (Polearm), and Favonius Warbow (Bow).
These Genshin Impact 3.5 Phase 2 banners will run from March 21, 2023, to April 4, 2023.
