Genshin Impact updates are always divided into two parts, and each of them bring different sets of limited characters and banners. Weapons are the core point of every character's build, and they have the highest impact on a character's performance on the field.
The official livestream event for Genshin Impact update 2.6 has officially confirmed a lot of the content that will arrive in the upcoming update. Alongside this official information, recent leaks have revealed the limited weapons that will appear on the first banner cycle.
A tweet by a credible Genshin Impact leaker named GenshinBLANK has revealed the items that will appear in the upcoming weapon banner for Genshin Impact Version 2.6. The limited weapons will be a part of the first banner cycle, which means that players will have the option to acquire them for three to four weeks. The banner should include the following weapons:
- Elegy for the End - five-star bow
- Haran Tsukishiro Futsu - five-star sword
- The Flute - four-star sword
- Rust - four-star bow
- The Widsith - four-star catalyst
- Sacraficial Greatsword - four-star claymore
- Dragon's Bane - four-star polearm
As usual, the weapon banner will include two five-star and five four-star items. Haran Tsukishiro Futsu will be the only new item, and it's the signature weapon for the upcoming character Kamisato Ayato. However, it's safe to say that this sword is a great fit for most Genshin Impact's DPS characters considering that its secondary stat is Crit Rate. Players should also try to equip this weapon with characters that have strong elemental damage.
Elegy for the End is one of the strongest weapons in Genshin Impact, and it's a great fit for support characters like Fischl and Sara. This weapon can also be very effective on specific DPS characters like Ganyu, who can benefit from its Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery. Elegy for the End is probably the best weapon for one of the strongest supports in the game, Venti, who has officially been confirmed to arrive in Version 2.6 alongside Ayato.
Ayato and Venti won't be the only additions that are being made in the upcoming update, as a new region named Chasm will finally get unlocked. Even though a lot of players expected a smaller region, multiple leaks have revealed that it will take up a big portion of the map. According to numerous rumors, another major named Sumeru is just around the corner, giving fans plenty to look forward to.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
