On November 11, HoYoverse launched an update of event prayers in Genshin Impact. Players now have access to the limited heroes Harlequin (Pyro) and Jun Li (Geo), as well as their signature weapons — the Outline of the Scarlet Moon (Pole) and the Conqueror of the Whirlwind (Pole) in the Prayer of the weapon event.

New Genshin Impact Characters: Banner schedule and action time
Limited warps with legendary characters will be active from November 11 to December 2, 2025. This is the standard duration of the banner phase for five-star heroes in the game.
Editorial staff VPEsport.com I have prepared detailed guides on Harlequino and ZhongLi. In the materials, you will find information about the character build, optimal weapons, and the best squad formations to complete the content.
Prayer system and chances: how the banner guarantor works
When performing spins on the event banner, the pit mechanics work — a system for guaranteed receipt of rare characters. The chances of getting a five-star hero start to increase after the 74th prayer. The base chance of getting a legendary character is 0.6%, but thanks to soft drinking, the probability increases significantly closer to the 90th twist.
It should be added that if you did not receive a rating character last time, then the current five-star hero is guaranteed to be exactly the one depicted on the banner.
Farm primogems: effective methods of obtaining currency
To successfully obtain the desired hero, players will need to accumulate a sufficient number of gems (primogems). The main sources of premium currency:
-
Daily errands (60 gems)
-
Passage of the Twisted Abyss (up to 600 gems once every two weeks)
-
Temporary update events (from 420 to 1000+ gems)
-
Explore the open world and complete quests
Developer codes and streams
One twist requires 160 primogems. It may take up to 28,800 gems (180 prayers in the worst case) to get a guaranteed five-star character.
Meta characters: Is it worth pulling Harlequino and Jun Lee
Both heroes occupy high positions in the Genshin Impact shooting list. Harlequin is a strong damager with unique pyro abilities, suitable for forming strong main damage builds. ZhongLi remains one of the most sought-after support players due to his rugged shield and versatility in any line-up.
Game professionals advise that beginners prioritize ZhongLi for a comfortable passage, and experienced players should modify their teams by adding Harlequins to increase damage.
Reviews and recommendations: what to look for
GI continues to delight fans with fresh content and temporary events, making the gameplay more exciting. Banner rotation in Patch 5.1 offers two archived options to enhance your collection.
Do not lose sight of the fact that prayer data can be adjusted by HoYoverse developers in order to always receive up—to-date information – follow the official announcements and updates of the game.
Finally: plan your stardust spending in advance, analyze the upcoming rotation of exclusive characters, and save up resources for the characters you really need from future banner phases.
