Genshin Impact 2.7 Banners

Yelan

Yelan Banner

In Phase 1 of Genshin Impact Version 2.7, we’ll see the release of Yelan‘s banner. She is a mysterious woman that works as a Special Intelligence Officer for Ningguang. Yelan is a master of disguise who can blend into any social environment, and then suddenly vanish as if she was never there.

This bow wielder swiftly moves on the battlefield, especially with her Lingering Lifeline Elemental Skill. The ability marks her opponents in a pathway the player creates and explodes once her rapid movements end. Alongside this power is her Elemental Burst, Depth-Clarion Dice, which allows Yelan to deal AoE Hydro DMG to enemies with a unique dice that follows the character.

The “Discerner of Enigmas” event wish also allows the players to unlock Barbara Pegg, Yanfei, and Noelle. Each of these characters, including the five-star Yelan, has giant drop-rate boosts.

The pride and joy of the Arataki Gang, Kuki Shinobu, is an exclusive character in Phase 2 of Version 2.7. She is a reliable deputy leader who keeps the members of her group out of certain dangers. Despite her carefree and fierce nature, Shinobu’s past lifestyle is entirely different from the warrior she is today. Her family has served Narukami for many years as Shrine Maidens, and she was destined to be one herself.

The deputy leader decided this life was not meant for her and ventured out to discover a variety of crafts and skills that proved helpful for the Arataki Gang. Her unique abilities display her teamwork expertise by sacrificing her HP to heal other party members. When Travelers acquire Shinobu as a supporting character, they can attack enemies and heal teammates with her Elemental Skill, Sanctifying Ring, after giving up a certain amount of HP.

Since a few of her talents require a sacrifice of health, the Breaking Free ability comes in handy for when Shinobu’s health is low by increasing her Health Bonus. The sword wielder has many different powers to help you in your adventure, so be on the lookout for her once the next phase arrives.

An upcoming Hangout Event for the character will be featured in the latest version. The first act, The Gang’s Daily Deed, explores the day in the life of the Arataki gang and Shinobu’s past.

The Realms of Guile and War is an upcoming combat challenge that tests your skills within domains. Players can participate in three challenges to complete a domain in a fast-paced warzone. Once you finish each one, the last battle will have six rounds where you’ll earn exclusive rewards.

To make the Realms of Guile and War more complex, you’ll have to rearrange your party after each round. For example, in the Kaleidoscope Cage, two characters are selected at random, and you won’t be able to use them in the next challenge. Therefore, there will be a variety of Trial Characters the Traveler can use and three Strategems per combat round to give you a buff for your battles.
