Character Banners
The phase two character banners are known as [The Moongrass' Enlightenment] and [Moment of Bloom]. Unfortunately, none of these two banners offer a new character for you to pull on, but they do give you the chance to get copies of either Nahida or Hu Tao.
If you’ve been Genshin Impact for some time, you should already be familiar with how powerful both of these characters are, and although Hu Tao has been power crept a bit ever since the release of Arlecchino, she is still an amazing Pyro DPS that can get you through any part of the game. And when it comes to Nahida, all we can say is that she’s definitely a character you’d love to have on your roster, as she just opened up so many team comps due to her ridiculous Dendro application and support capabilities. With that out of the way, let’s dive into the two banners and see more details about them.

The Moongrass' Enlightenment

| Name | The Moongrass' Enlightenment |
| Duration | October 29 - November 19, 2024 |
| 5-star Character |
|
| 4-star Characters |
|
The Moongrass' Enlightenment will give you the chance to pull for the 5-star Dendro character, Nahida, which is one of the best Dendro characters to have on any of your teams if you’re looking for Dendro application and overall support capabilities. Nahida also holds great collection value due to being one of the 7 Archons, so if you still do not have her, you might want to consider pulling for her.
In addition to Nahida, the banner also offers boosted drop rates for the following 4-star characters:
- Sethos (Electro)
- Xingqiu (Hydro)
- Kuki Shinobu (Electro)

Moment of Bloom

|
| Name | Moment of Bloom |
| Duration | October 29 - November 19, 2024 |
| 5-star Character |
|
| 4-star Characters |
|
The Moment of Bloom banner will give you the chance to pull for Hu Tao, a powerful Pyro DPS. Although Hu Tao dropped a bit in the rankings due to the introduction of new Pyro DPS characters, she still holds a high spot in almost all Tier Lists and is able to put out a ton of damage. If you’re a fan of Elemental Infusion playstyles with a focus on charged attacks, then Hu Tao might just be a champion you’ll want to pull for. Similar to Nahida’s banner, the Moment of Bloom will also feature a boosted drop rate for the following 4-star characters:
- Sethos (Electro)
- Xingqiu (Hydro)
- Kuki Shinobu (Electro)

Weapon Banner
 |
|
| Name | Epitome Invocation |
| Duration | October 29 - November 19, 2024 |
| 5-star Weapons |
|
| 4-star Weapons |
|
The weapon banner in the second phase of Version 5.1 will feature the signature weapons for both Nahida and Hu Tao, which are:
- A Thousand Floating Dreams (Catalyst)
- Staff of Homa (Polearm)
A Thousand Floating Dreams is a decent Catalyst with an Elemental Mastery main stat, which makes it great for teams focusing on the Dendro element, and thus it is also the best-in-slot weapon for Nahida. Although it’s not bad, it’s not necessarily versatile. There are only a handful of characters that can use it well.
The Staff of Homa, on the other hand, is a powerhouse of a weapon that is still being used on almost all Polearm characters even to this day. Staff of Homa’s effect is nothing that special, just giving a good amount of ATK% based on your MAX HP and also helping your characters be a bit more tanky due to its HP% boost. What makes this weapon stand out is its ridiculous ATK and DMG% stats, which make it a great choice for basically any Polearm main DPS character.
In addition to both these 5-star weapons, the weapon will feature a boosted drop rate for the following 4-star weapons:
- Fruitful Hook (Claymore)
- Lion's Roar (Sword)
- Dragon's Bane (Polearm)
- Eye of Perception (Catalyst)
- Favonius Warbow (Bow)
We wish the best of luck to everyone pulling on these banners, and may the gacha gods smile upon your pulls!
