Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner features Starsealed Edict, a five-star Catalyst, and Splendor of Tranquil Waters, a five-star Sword. Both weapons are rate-ups on the Phase I Epitome Invocation wish, which begins after Version 7.2 maintenance on 4 November 2026.
The wish runs alongside the Mitya and Furina character banners until 24 November at 17:59 in the notice’s banner-time context. HoYoverse has also named five featured four-star weapons, and players can use Epitomized Path to target one of the promotional five-stars.
Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner featured five-stars
The two featured five-star weapons are Starsealed Edict (Catalyst) and Splendor of Tranquil Waters (Sword). Both receive a boosted drop rate during Epitome Invocation, and both are identified as event-exclusive in HoYoverse’s wish notice.
The notice explicitly says the event-exclusive five-star weapons will not be available from the standard Wanderlust Invocation banner. This is a weapon wish, not a quest reward or free giveaway. Choose your target carefully if you are saving wishes for one specific weapon.
Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner: All five featured four-star weapons
There are five featured four-star weapons in the Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner:
| Weapon | Type |
|---|---|
| The Dockhand’s Assistant | Sword |
| Prospector’s Drill | Polearm |
| Dawning Frost | Catalyst |
| Rainslasher | Claymore |
| Rust | Bow |
The Dockhand’s Assistant, Prospector’s Drill and Dawning Frost are the event-exclusive four-stars in the notice. Rainslasher and Rust are also rate-ups, but the notice doesn’t label them event-exclusive. A rate-up increases the chance of receiving an item; it doesn’t let you choose which four-star drops.
Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner: When does Epitome Invocation start and end?
The Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner begins after the Version 7.2 update and lasts until 24 November 2026 at 17:59 in HoYoverse’s wish notice. The time on a server’s event countdown is the final check before the banner disappears.
Version maintenance begins on 3 November at 22:00 UTC and is expected to last around five hours, so the new wish should be available after the game’s updated servers return on 4 November. Don’t treat 03:00 UTC as a guaranteed banner opening if maintenance runs longer.
How does Epitomized Path work?
Epitomized Path is the weapon-banner feature that lets you select one of the two promotional five-star weapons as your target. Open Epitome Invocation and choose Starsealed Edict or Splendor of Tranquil Waters in that menu before committing to your pulls.
HoYoverse directs players to the Wish screen’s Details panel for the complete path and guarantee mechanics. Do not mistake choosing a target for receiving the weapon instantly: it’s a wish system with its own rules. If you switch objectives, check the in-game explanation before making further pulls.
Does the weapon banner share pity with Mitya and Furina?
No. The Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner’s guarantee count is separate from the Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2 pool used by Mitya and Furina. Those two character banners share their count with each other, but not with weapon wishes or the standard banner.
If you have been building pity on a character banner, pulling for Starsealed Edict will not bring you closer to a character five-star. Work out whether the weapon or the character is your priority before committing Primogems, because the wishes use different systems.
Starsealed Edict stats and upgrade materials
HoYoverse has now released a separate official New Weapon Overview for Starsealed Edict, showing its effects using a Level 90, Refinement Rank 1 example. Check that official equipment overview for its stats and passive; the event-wish notice itself is about which weapons you can pull.
For the Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner, the key facts are availability and the Epitomized Path choice. Exact ascension material routes need an equipment-specific source, while which weapon suits a character depends on their actual kit and the weapon’s published effects.
Which weapon should you target?
Start with the equipment type: Starsealed Edict is a Catalyst, while Splendor of Tranquil Waters is a Sword. The Genshin Impact 7.2 weapon banner offers both, but a Sword user cannot equip a Catalyst and vice versa.
Starsealed Edict is worth checking alongside the Mitya abilities guide. Furina is a Sword user, so Splendor of Tranquil Waters is the corresponding type to examine for her. Compare the official effects before committing your wishes; no one weapon is the right choice for every account.
