Genshin Impact 6.5 Banner Summary
Genshin Impact Version 6.5, also called Luna VI, is now fully mapped out after the special program. The headline details are clear: Linnea and Chasca lead Phase 1, Lauma and Nefer take Phase 2, and Fontaine gets its first Chronicled Wish-style mixed banner featuring Lyney, Emilie, Clorinde, Navia, and Sigewinne. Version 6.5 is scheduled to launch on April 8, 2026, so this is one of those patches where banner planning matters right away.
For most players, the real hook is not just the new five-star debut. Version 6.5 also adds Dornman Port, the Temple of Space, Linnea’s Story Quest, a new boss, livestream redemption codes, and a Phase 2 event that gives a free Jahoda. That makes this patch feel much bigger than a routine banner update.
6.5 Livestream Codes
If you only want the quick rewards first, the global livestream codes are:
- LinneaClassTime
- TempleofSpace
- Scaleblade
These three codes together give the usual 300 Primogems total, along with extra materials. They are time-limited livestream rewards, so they are worth redeeming as soon as possible.
Version 6.5 Banner Schedule
The core banner structure for Version 6.5 is already confirmed through the livestream recap coverage.
Phase 1 runs from April 8 to April 28, featuring Linnea (new 5-star Geo bow user) and Chasca.
Phase 2 runs from April 28 to May 19, featuring Lauma and Nefer.
Linnea is the patch’s new featured five-star, and current English-language coverage consistently identifies her as a 5-star Geo bow user. Chasca reruns alongside her in the first half, while Lauma and Nefer are set for the second half.
If you have been waiting for a cleaner banner cycle, 6.5 is easy to read. This is not one of those messy patches where everything feels half-hidden behind vague leaks. The rerun order and the new-character slot are already in place, which makes it easier to decide whether to pull immediately or wait for Phase 2.
Fontaine Chronicled Wish Banner
The other big banner story in 6.5 is the Fontaine Chronicled Wish. According to multiple recap pages, it features Lyney, Emilie, Clorinde, Navia, and Sigewinne, along with their matching signature weapons and Fontaine-themed limited four-star weapons. That makes it one of the most relevant side banners for players who skipped several Fontaine releases and want a more flexible catch-up option.
From a planning perspective, this banner matters because it competes with the main event wish more than usual. If you want Linnea or one of the reruns, the Fontaine lineup can easily become a Primogem trap unless you already know your priority.
New Maps, Story Quest, and Boss
Beyond the banners, 6.5 adds Dornman Port, a long-awaited northern Mondstadt expansion, plus the Temple of Space, which current guide coverage describes as an area linked to Asmoday, the Shade of Space. Linnea also gets her own Story Quest, Alcyon Chapter: Act 1, in the same update.
The map expansion matters because it is not just a single zone drop. English recap coverage treats Dornman Port and the Temple of Space as the two big exploration highlights of the patch, and Dornman Port also brings a new world boss called Watcher: Fallen Vigil.
New Character Tease and Other 6.5 Highlights
The livestream also teased an unnamed purple-haired girl with an Anemo Vision, and current coverage treats her as an upcoming Mondstadt-linked character rather than a fully introduced playable release. That means her appearance is real, but her role, release timing, and final name are still speculative.
As for events, the biggest practical reward is the flagship event that gives players a free Jahoda in Phase 2. On top of that, the patch includes the usual event rotation, Genius Invokation TCG updates, and additional housing-style or customization content depending on how HoYoverse localizes those systems in English coverage. The free Jahoda reward is the part most players should care about first.
Should You Pull in Version 6.5?
If you are deciding how to spend your wishes, Version 6.5 breaks down pretty neatly.
Pull in Phase 1 if:
- you want to secure Linnea on release,
- you still need Chasca,
- or you want to start the patch with the clearest new-character value.
Wait for Phase 2 if:
- Lauma or Nefer are higher priorities for your account,
- you want more time to test Linnea’s early performance,
- or you are seriously considering the Fontaine Chronicled Wish instead.
The safest overall advice is simple: do not treat 6.5 like a one-banner patch. Between Linnea, two rerun phases, and the Fontaine mixed banner, this is the kind of version where wish planning matters more than impulse pulling. That is especially true if you are F2P or Welkin-only.
