Upcoming Genshin Impact Banner Predictions for July 2025
July 2025 brings the conclusion of Genshin Impact’s Version 5.7 Phase 1 and the kick-off of Phase 2, following the game’s standard six-week update cycle that began on June 18 and runs through July 30. Phase 1 will feature the long-awaited debut of Skirk as a playable five-star and Dahlia in the four-star slot, while Phase 2 (July 9–July 30) is expected to deliver reruns of fan-favorite characters such as Shenhe and Ganyu, based on community wish lists. Below, we dive into detailed predictions for both banner phases and share strategies to help Travelers plan their Primogem spending.
Banner Schedule for July 2025
Genshin Impact adheres to a consistent six-week cycle split into two three-week banner phases. Version 5.7 launched on June 18, 2025, immediately following the end of 5.6 Phase 2. By analogy to the 5.6 schedule—where Phase 1 ran May 7–27 and Phase 2 ran May 27–June 17—Phase 1 of 5.7 spans June 18–July 9, and Phase 2 covers July 9–July 30. This structure ensures that July features both the tail end of Phase 1 and the entirety of Phase 2, giving Travelers two distinct banner lineups to anticipate.
Phase 1: Skirk & Dahlia Release
5-Star Spotlight: Skirk
Skirk, the enigmatic swordswoman teased in early May, finally joins the roster in Version 5.7 Phase 1. As a Cryo sword user with rumored high single-target damage, she’s expected to excel in both mono-Cryo teams and flexible DPS lineups.
4-Star Support: Dahlia
Dahlia steps into the four-star banner slot alongside Skirk, offering unique utility possibly centered on off-field Cryo application and energy regeneration. Her debut timing makes Phase 1 an appealing window for both new and veteran Travelers to pull.
Phase 2: Anticipated Reruns
Community sources have highlighted several five-star characters players are eager to see return in Phase 2’s refill banner (July 9–30). According to a curated wish list, the top rerun candidates include:
- Shenhe (Cryo support): Fans cite her elemental resistance shred and synergy with Cryo DPS as reasons she’s overdue for a rerun.
- Ganyu (Cryo DPS): Her powerful charged shots remain benchmark ranged damage, and her last banner was in May 2023.
- Kokomi (Hydro support): A premier healer whose last rerun was in July 2023, making her a strong utility pick.
- Tartaglia (Childe) (Hydro DPS): Despite frequent reruns historically, his last appearance was in September 2023, fueling calls for his return.
- Wriothesley (Cryo DPS): Debuted in October 2023 and still awaits a first rerun, positioning him as a dark-horse candidate.
While HoYoverse has not officially confirmed Phase 2’s lineup, these community-driven predictions reflect player sentiment and may guide Primogem strategies.
Tips for Travelers
- Budget Wisely: Allocate enough Primogems for Phase 1 if you’re targeting Skirk or Dahlia; reserve extra for Phase 2 if the rerun lineup aligns with your roster needs.
- Pity Tracker: Monitor your First-Pull and Permanent Pity to optimize pulls—especially if multiple targets share a banner.
- Resource Planning: Save Acquaint and Intertwined Fates ahead of time to increase your chances on both phases without overspending real currency.
With a clear view of July’s schedule and community predictions, Travelers can make informed decisions to bolster their squads in Genshin Impact’s Version 5.7. Good luck, Travelers!
