Next and current banners in Genshin Impact
The banners in Genshin Impact are constantly changing, so it’s a good idea to keep track of what the current banners and next banners are, to prepare for a sudden hit to your precious Primogem reserves.
Limited-time rotating banners are called ‘Event Wishes’ in Genshin, and they usually run for three weeks. An Event Wish Banner is never gone for long though, as another one—with a different set of characters—will soon take its place. Your Primogems are never safe!
You use the Intertwined Fate currency to pull (referred to as ‘Wishing’ in-game) on these Event Wish Banners. If you see you’re using something called Acquaint Fate, then you’re wishing on Genshin’s permanent banner or Beginner’s Banner instead. It’s a good idea to always convert your Primogems into Intertwined Fate to save up for Event Wish Banners, as it’s much harder to get characters only available for a limited-time than it is to get characters in the permanent banner. But you do you! As somebody who only pulled for Xilonen because I wanted to roller skate across Teyvat, I’m not one to judge.

Skirk and Dahlia are on the next banners in Genshin Impact. This was confirmed through Skirk’s drip marketing and Dahlia’s drip marketing on Genshin’s official social media channels—an ever-reliable way to peek at who’s coming next. They’ll both make their debut in version 5.7.
As for reruns, according to the reliable leak source homdgcat.wiki, Emilie is running alongside Skirk in Phase 1 of version 5.7, and Mavuika and Shenhe are rerunning in Phase 2.
It’s been 18 months since Skirk popped up to throw Childe into a portal at the end of Fontaine’s story, and four years since Dahlia was first mentioned in-game, so it’s nice to see miHoYo didn’t forget about them after all. I wish the same could be said about Genshin’s Switch port and anime adaptation.

Remember that your pity doesn’t carry over between Chronicled Wish Banners! It will reset back to zero when this Inazuman one ends.
