While the “Luna VIII” teaser is currently light on specifics, it is standard for these releases to debut at least one high-tier 5-star character alongside a new 4-star addition. We will publish the finalized banner rotation as soon as it is confirmed.*Pro-tip for banner planning: Keep in mind that soft pity begins at 75 pulls, with hard pity guaranteed at 90.

Seasonal events in Genshin Impact are renowned for offering a mix of narrative quests, combat trials, and exploration objectives.

Our standard recommendation remains: prioritize units that provide utility to your existing teams or those you find personally engaging. If you are currently hoarding resources for a specific anticipated banner—such as an Archon—it is best to remain patient until more concrete information surfaces.### Preparation ChecklistBefore “Luna VIII” goes live, consider these steps:- Finalize your Battle Pass progress.- Exhaust your current Resin reserves or convert them into Condensed Resin.- Clear out any remaining limited-time quests to maximize rewards.- Hold onto claimable Adventure EXP, as saving these for after the patch can help jump-start your new Battle Pass level.### Final ThoughtsVersion “Luna VIII” is gearing up to deliver an exciting summer atmosphere to the world of Teyvat.
