Lohen Debut: Banner Schedule and Summoning Guide on GenshinBuilds
The second act of the Version 4.7 update for Genshin Impact is approaching rapidly, ushering in the highly anticipated arrival of Lohen and the return of Mavuika to the event banners. For those carefully managing their Primogem reserves, knowing precisely when these banners unlock is vital to avoid missing your window or miscalculating your summon strategy. Our guide at GenshinBuilds provides everything necessary to prepare for these upcoming additions.
Quick Overview
- Lohen Release Period: June 9, 2026, through June 30, 2026 (Second Phase).
- Rerun Character: Mavuika (Pyro-Claymore).
- Featured Four-Stars: Mika (Cryo-Polearm), Xiangling (Pyro-Polearm), and Bennett (Pyro-Sword).
- Weapon Banners: Features signature gear for both Lohen and Mavuika.
- Rollout: Times are region-dependent, commencing in Asia followed by Europe and the Americas.
Strategic Insights: Evaluating Phase 2
This banner cycle is distinct, offering a fresh five-star alongside a powerhouse Archon. Given that Phase 1 featured Clorinde and Sigewinne, many Travelers may find their resources tight. However, the four-star rotation is exceptional: Bennett and Xiangling remain among the most critical supports in the current meta, making this an excellent opportunity to bolster your roster regardless of your interest in Lohen.

Summoning Recommendations
For New Travelers: This is a high-value banner. Xiangling and Bennett are essential components for most team compositions, and Mavuika is a premier Pyro DPS. While Lohen’s performance is still being evaluated, early data suggests he has promise in quickswap teams. We advise waiting for further community testing before spending your stash.
For Experienced Players: If you already possess Mavuika, evaluate if Lohen fills a specific void in your current team setups. Securing constellations for Bennett or Xiangling is never a bad investment. As always, approach the weapon banner with caution unless you are prepared to utilize the epitomized path.
Backstory and Community Sentiment
This is Mavuika’s first appearance since the 5.0 update, where her arrival solidified her place in the endgame meta. Lohen’s release continues the trend of back-to-back character drops intended to test player loyalty before the quieter summer months. Online forums are currently buzzing with speculation regarding Lohen’s potential synergies and technical mechanics like snapshotting, though nothing is confirmed until official release.
