While we wait for the Genshin Impact 2.7 Special Program, recent leaks revealed the complete roster for the first phase banners.

Yelan, the 5-star Hydro character, will feature a double banner with Xiao, the 5-star Anemo Yaksha.

With that in mind, here is the full list of characters for the Genshin Impact 2.7 first banners.

Release Date

Genshin Impact 2.7 will go live on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, around 11am Server Time (Chinese Standard Time).

May 10, 8pm PDT
May 10, 11pm EST
March 11, 4am GMT

On launch day the server will go down for maintenance at 6am server time which will last around 5 hours.

Genshin Impact 2.7 First Phase Banners

In line with previous versions, Hoyoverse will release a double banner in the first half, including the debut of Yelan and the second rerun of Xiao.

Ayato in Genshin Impact 2.6 — KAMISATO AYATO: Another Katana User in Genshin Impact

The following banners will be available during the first three weeks of version 2.7:

Invitation to Mundane Life will feature the second rerun of Xiao, a 5-star Anemo Polearm character.
The Valley Orchid will feature the new character Yelan, a 5-star Hydro Bow character.

Both Banners will share the following 4-star characters:

Yanfei - 4-star Pyro, Catalyst User
Barbara - 4-star Hydro, Catalyst User
Noelle - 4-star Geo, Claymore User.

Barbara and Noelle are back after more than 6 banners, and Kuki and Yanfei were classmates, so it's only natural she makes the cut for Genshin Impact 2.7 as well.

Weapon Banner

The first Weapon Banner in Genshin Impact 2.7 will introduce a new weapon called: Aqua Simulacra. This is the signature sword of Kamisato Ayato.

The polearm Primordial Jade Winged-Spear will be the second weapon feature in the first weapon banner of Genshin Impact 2.7.

Rarity	Name	Stat	Stat	Passive (R5)
5-star	Aqua Simulacra	Bow	Crit. DMG	HP is increased by 32% When there are enemies near the character, the DMG increases by 40%. This effect will still be detected when the character is off-field.
5-star	Primordial Jade Winged-Spear	Polearm	Crit. Rate	On hit, increases ATK by 6.0% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 24%.

Both weapons are decent picks, and useful for a variety of characters.
