Genshin Impact Version Luna V Phase II Event Wishes Introduce Skirk and Escoffier With Boosted Drop Rates

Genshin Impact has officially announced the Version “Luna V” Phase II Event Wishes, introducing a new set of limited time banners featuring powerful characters and weapons for players to obtain. The upcoming wish events will run from March 17, 2026 at 18:00 until April 7, 2026 at 14:59, giving Travelers several weeks to strengthen their teams through boosted drop rates.

The Phase II update includes two Character Event Wishes and a new Epitome Invocation weapon banner, each offering exclusive characters and equipment with increased drop rates during the event period.

The first banner, titled “Void Star’s Advent,” highlights the event exclusive 5 star character “Void Star” Skirk, who wields the Cryo element. During the event, Skirk will receive a major drop rate boost, making it significantly easier for players to obtain the powerful character compared to standard wishes.

Alongside Skirk, several featured 4 star characters will also receive boosted drop rates. These include “Ode and Oblation” Dahlia (Hydro), “Golden Vow” Candace (Hydro), and “Lens of Verity” Charlotte (Cryo). These characters offer valuable team synergy options for players building elemental reaction focused teams.

Running simultaneously with Skirk’s banner is the second Character Event Wish titled “La Chanson Cerise.” This banner features the event exclusive 5 star character “Tasteful Excellence” Escoffier, another Cryo character receiving a large drop rate boost throughout the event.

The same lineup of boosted 4 star characters will appear on this banner as well, including Dahlia, Candace, and Charlotte, allowing players to pursue either featured 5 star character while still benefiting from the increased rates for these supporting units.

HoYoverse has confirmed that both Skirk and Escoffier are event exclusive characters, meaning they will not appear in the standard wish banner “Wanderlust Invocation.” Players interested in obtaining these characters will need to pull during the limited event window.

As with previous banners, the pity system is shared between “Character Event Wish” and “Character Event Wish-2.” This means the wish guarantee count carries across both banners, allowing players to switch between Skirk and Escoffier banners without losing progress toward their guaranteed 5 star drop.

Players pulling on the weapon banner can also take advantage of the Epitomized Path system, which allows Travelers to select a specific 5 star promotional weapon and gradually increase their chances of obtaining it.

With two powerful Cryo characters, boosted 4 star units, and exclusive weapons, the Version Luna V Phase II Event Wishes offer a significant opportunity for players to expand their roster and strengthen their combat strategies before the next major update.

Travelers interested in participating can find full banner details directly in the Wish screen inside the game, where additional information about drop rates, pity mechanics, and event rules is available.
