Both banners will be available for 16 days, according to the new five-week schedule for the rest of the Genshin Impact 2022 Banners.

These are the two banners of the first half of Genshin Impact 3.1

  • Twilight Arbiter, the Banner will feature Cyno, a 5-star Electro Polearm Character.
  • Ballad in Goblets is the rerun banner of the Anemo Archon, Venti, the 5-star Anemo Bow User.

The following 4-star characters complete the Banner.

The Genshin Impact 3.1 update could be called Polearm Impact, as three of 5 characters use that weapon.

Additionally, It seems we are getting all the archons in consecutive patches, Zhongli in 3.0, Venti in 3.1, Nahida in 3.2, and Raiden in 3.3.

Weapon Banner

The first Weapon Banner in Genshin Impact 3.0 will be the debut of the 5-star polearm, Staff of the Scarlet Sands, the signature weapon for Cyno.
