HoYoverse Unveils Genshin Impact 7.2 Phase I Banners
Version 7.2 Phase I adds 5-star characters Mitya and Furina along with new weapons and limited-time events.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Quantum Computing
HoYoverse has released details of Genshin Impact Version 7.2 Phase I banners and events, featuring 5-star characters Mitya (Electro Catalyst) and Furina (Hydro Sword). Players can also earn Primogems through the Hour of Ruin quest and the Limited-Time Area Exploration event.
Why it matters
The banner lineup and reward structure determine how players allocate in-game currency and plan their upcoming progression. The update also introduces Mitya's Stellar-Conduct mechanic, which changes how team reactions function in combat.
Mitya converts the team's Superconduct reactions into Stellar-Conduct reactions while in the party, and his detection device uncovers hidden paths in Snezhnaya. The extraction does not specify the damage multipliers or drop rates associated with these mechanics.
The players
HoYoverse
HoYoverse is the Chinese game developer behind Genshin Impact, an open-world action role-playing game known for its frequent content updates and gacha-based character banners.
The details
Version 7.2 Phase I includes five 4-star weapons, 4-star characters Valeriy, Rosaria, and Charlotte, and 5-star weapons Starsealed Edict and Splendor of Tranquil Waters. The Grand Defense: Defy the Unjust Judgement Event lets players invite a 4-star character of their choice.
Timeline
November 11, 2026: Stygian Onslaught Disturbance Outbreak begins.
November 21, 2026: Stygian Onslaught Disturbance Outbreak ends.
December 1, 2026: Imaginarium Theater Update becomes available.
The Tech Race
The Version 7.2 Phase I banners continue Genshin Impact's established pattern of pairing new 5-star characters with limited-time weapon and event rewards. The update's reaction-conversion mechanic places Mitya within the game's long-running combat-synergy design.
Players can use the Hour of Ruin quest and Limited-Time Area Exploration to earn 560 and 400 Primogems, respectively, which can be spent on future banner pulls. Mitya's detection device also unlocks hidden paths in Snezhnaya, giving players access to a reward in that area.
The takeaway
Players planning their Primogem budget should note that the Hour of Ruin and Limited-Time Area Exploration rewards can be completed within their specified windows, before the November 21 end date of the Stygian Onslaught event. Completing these early preserves time for the December 1 Imaginarium Theater Update.
What happens next
The Stygian Onslaught Disturbance Outbreak runs from November 11 to November 21, 2026, and the Imaginarium Theater Update becomes available on December 1, 2026.
