Abilities and Banner Details
Kokomi’s abilities have been previously unveiled, and the banner will feature significant drop-rate boosts for four-star characters Beidou (Electro), Rosaria (Cryo), and Xingqiu (Hydro). Players can experience her and other characters in the new Character Trial Event, where fixed line-ups are provided for testing.
Sangonomiya Kokomi’s story quest, “Dracaena Somnolenta Chapter,” becomes unlockable after the banner release time. To access this quest, players need to be at least level 40 and have completed both the Archon quest ‘Chapter II Act III: Omnipresence Over Mortals’ and Raiden Shogun’s story quest ‘Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter Act 1.’
Epitome Invocation Event
Simultaneously, Mihoyo is hosting the ‘Epitome Invocation’ event, offering drop-rate boosts on major weapons. This includes the event-exclusive five-star weapons, Everlasting Moonglow (Catalyst) and Primordial Jade Cutter (Sword), along with four-star weapons The Flute (Sword), Favonius Greatsword (Claymore), Dragon’s Bane (Polearm), Favonius Codex (Catalyst), and The Stringless (Bow).
Spectral Secrets Event
Running concurrently is the ‘Spectral Secrets’ event, active until September 26. To participate and earn event rewards such as Primogems and useful items, players need to be at least level 30 and have completed both the Archon quests ‘Ritou Escape Plan’ and ‘Floating Spirits – The Investigation Begins.’
In the ever-evolving world of Genshin Impact, these events add layers of excitement for players, making it one of the most engaging free-to-play games on PC.
