Genshin Impact Luna V (Version 6.4) Banners Revealed: Varka Leads Mondstadt’s Return
Release Date, Character Lineup, Weapon Banners, and Chronicled Wish Details
Luna V (Version 6.4) arrives on February 25, 2026, marking a pivot from the Nod-Krai Archon arc to a Mondstadt-focused spotlight. The headline: Varka, a new 5-star Anemo Claymore DPS, finally steps into the playable roster.
For veterans who started in Mondstadt, this update feels like a homecoming. But for meta-focused players, the real question is simple—does Varka redefine Anemo carries?
Luna V (6.4) Release Date and Context
HoYoverse confirmed Version 6.4 launches February 25, 2026.
The update follows the conclusion of the main Nod-Krai Archon quests, shifting narrative focus back to Mondstadt and its legacy characters. That thematic reset frames Luna V as both progression and nostalgia.
Will Mondstadt nostalgia drive pulls—or will performance dictate spending?
Luna V features one new character and three confirmed reruns, as revealed during the official livestream.
- New Character: Varka (5★, Anemo, Claymore, DPS)
- Reruns: Flins, Skirk, Escoffier
The structure follows the standard two-phase format spanning roughly six weeks.
Phase 1 (February 25 – March 16)
Varka
- 5★ Anemo
- Claymore
- DPS role
Flins (Rerun)
Chronicled Wish (Mondstadt Focus)
- Eula
- Albedo
- Klee
- Mona
- Diluc
- Jean
Phase 1 combines forward momentum with legacy appeal. Varka anchors the meta conversation, while Chronicled Wish gives access to some of Mondstadt’s most recognizable 5-stars.
Is this a calculated nostalgia play—or strategic banner stacking?
Phase 2 (March 16 – April 04)
Skirk (Rerun)
Escoffier (Rerun)
Phase 2 pivots from debut hype to high-value reruns. Players who skip Varka may target established synergy picks instead.
Timing matters. Overspend early, and Phase 2 becomes a budgeting challenge.
Phase 1 Weapons (February 25 – March 16)
- Ballad of the Mighty Wolf
- Bloodsoaked Ruins
Chronicled Wish Weapons
- Elegy for the End
- Song of Broken Pines
- Wolf’s Gravestone
- Skyward Blade
- Aquila Favonia
- Skyward Pride
- Skyward Spine
- Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
- Skyward Atlas
- Skyward Harp
This pool spans multiple archetypes, offering coverage for Claymore, Sword, Polearm, Catalyst, and Bow builds. For players optimizing endgame rotations, weapon targeting may matter more than character acquisition.
Are you chasing constellations—or refining signature weapons?
Phase 2 Weapons (March 16 – April 04)
- Azurelight
- Symphonist Of Scents
Phase 2’s weapon banner complements Skirk and Escoffier reruns, rounding out Luna V’s six-week cycle.
Strategic Takeaways for 6.4
- Release Date: February 25, 2026
- New 5-Star: Varka (Anemo, Claymore, DPS)
- Reruns: Flins (Phase 1), Skirk & Escoffier (Phase 2)

Luna V blends narrative reset with calculated banner density. For long-time players, it’s a celebration. For competitive builds, it’s a resource management test.
Because in Genshin, the strongest strategy isn’t luck—it’s timing.
