Genshin Impact<\/strong><\/em> players have been\u00a0celebrating the arrival of spring lately, with a special Lantern Rite Festival event that introduced the game’s\u00a0newest five-star character, Xiao. Though\u00a0players can no longer Wish for Xiao from the Special Character banner, the new additions continue to roll in with a special new rendition of “Epitome Invocation,” the game’s weapons-only banner.<\/p>\n

Travelers may be used to spending Primogems to summon popular\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em><\/a> characters, but it should be noted that players also have the option of Wishing upon powerful\u00a0weapons instead. Of course, weapons can be obtained from the game’s\u00a0other banners, but the newest and most powerful arms are reserved for the so-called Epitome Invocation, which\u00a0only grants weapons.<\/p>\n

While many players were disappointed that Xiao would be followed by Keqing, an already-introduced five-star character, some may be delighted to discover that several new weapons have arrived instead. If novelty is the goal, then players can simply focus on Wishing for new weapons until a character like Hu Tao makes their way into\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and replaces Keqing as a featured character. As per\u00a0the official announcement, the upcoming Epitome Invocation banner will\u00a0introduce three brand new weapons:\u00a0two polearms and a claymore.<\/p>\n

The Staff of Homa (five-star) and Lithic Spear (four-star)\u00a0are the two new polearms,\u00a0while the new claymore is dubbed the Lithic Blade (claymore). All three of these weapons will be exclusive drops from the\u00a0upcoming Epitome Invocation banner, which is predicted to begin on February 23, 2021.\u00a0This also\u00a0means they won’t be available from the standard “Wanderlust Invocation” banner that\u00a0requires Acquaint Fates<\/a>.<\/p>\n
