Childe Banner (Farewell of Snezhnaya)

Genshin Impact update 1.1 adds 3 new banners, Farewell of Snezhnaya (Character Banner – Childe), Epitome Invocation (Weapon Banner) and Wanderlust Invocation (Standard Banner).

Farewell of Snezhnaya

1. New Characters:
   – 5-Star Childe (Hydro Bow)
   – 4-Star Diona (Cryo Bow)
2. Rate Up:
   – 5-Star Childe
   – 4-Star Diona
   – 4-Star Ningguang
   – 4-Star Beidou

You may want to give this banner a pass. Unlike with Xingqiu from the Klee Banner which had a passive good enough alone to recommend rolling for. This banner will depend more on your own preference.

Here’s a few reasons why you may consider rolling:

1. You are running a Cryo + Hydro based freeze team.
2. You need another healer for Spiral Abyss. A welcome alternative to the limited number of healers currently available.

Epitome Invocation

1. New Weapon:
   – 5-star Memory of Dust (Catalyst)
2. Rate Up:
   – 5-star Memory of Dust (Catalyst)
   – 5-star Skyward Harp (Bow)
   – 4-Star Rust (Bow)
   – 4-Star Eye of Perception (Catalyst)
   – 4-Star Favonius Lance (Polearm)
   – 4-Star Rainslasher (Claymore)
   – 4-Star The Flute (The Flute)

Skyward Harp is a top tier DPS bow with a secondary CRIT Rate stat. On the same note Rust is a very good 4-Star alternative.

Had they have included The Stringless (great for support) bow in the rate up this would have been a very good weapon banner for bow users.

Wanderlust Invocation

1. Standard Banner (no rate up)
2. Available 5-Star Characters include:
   – Keqing
   – Mona
   – Qiqi
   – Diluc
   – Jean
3. Available 5-Star Weapons include:
   – Skyward Harp
   – Skyward Atlas
   – Skyward Spine
   – Skyward Pride
   – Aquila Favonia
   – Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
   – Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
   – Wolf’s Gravestone
   – Skyward Blade

Standard banner pity does not guarantee a character.
