Genshin Impact’s Fontaine saga with the Fontaine crew was undeniably a blast and HoYoverse left an equal number of questions and answers for players to dig into, in the lore. While we leave that digging to the community and theorists, we must do what we always do. The next version i.e. Genshin Impact 4.3 is almost upon us, and what better way to start the show than by looking at what it may offer? In this article, let’s look at Genshin Impact 4.3 banners — character and weapon — and their run times.
Genshin Impact 4.3 Banners
| Phase | Characters / Weapons | Start and end dates |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 5-star Characters | Navia and Kamisato Ayaka | December 20, 2023 – January 10, 2024 |
| Phase 2 5-star Characters | Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya | January 10, 2024 – January 31, 2024 |
| Phase 1 4-star characters | Chevreuse, TBA, TBA | December 20, 2023 – January 10, 2024 |
| Phase 2 4-star Characters | Chevreuse, TBA, TBA | January 10, 2024 – January 31, 2024 |
| Phase 1 Weapon Banner | 5-star: Verdict (Confirmed) and Mistsplitter (Almost certain). 4*: Unknown |
December 20, 2023 – January 10, 2024 |
| Phase 2 Weapon Banner | 5-star: Engulfing Lightning (Expected) and Thundering Pulse (Expected) 4-star: Unknown |
January 10, 2024 – January 31, 2024 |
From what we know, like any Genshin Impact version, version 4.3 will have two phases. The first phase of the character banner is scheduled from December 20 to January 10, 2023, and will feature Navia, the head of Spina Di Rosula, and the lady of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayaka.
The second phase of Genshin Impact 4.3 will feature none other than the Electro Archon, the Raiden Shogun, and the in charge of Nagonohara Fireworks, Yoimiya, or should I say, Aran-Yoimiya!
Weapon banners are easy to determine once the characters are out. In this case, the first phase of the Genshin Impact 4.3 weapons banner will feature weapons Verdict and Mistsplitter Reforged, the signature weapons of Navia and Ayaka, respectively. The second phase of the game will probably feature Engulfing Lightning and Thundering Pulse, the signature weapons of Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya, respectively.

Looking to get your hands on a Cryo DPS character? Ayaka is a great option. Pair her with Shenhe (who’s reportedly coming in Genshin Impact 4.4) and watch the enemies kneel down shivering. If you want to know the best way to build Ayaka, here’s our Ayaka Build guide.
Genshin Impact Banners and How They Work
Each Genshin Impact version has two phases and brings four five-star characters. These characters could be new or old and for a re-run. There are two limited-time character banners in each phase, each phase lasting 21 days. There’s also one weapon banner with weapons of both the limited-time characters currently available in that version. Each Genshin Impact version lasts for 42 days.
