What to expect from Genshin Impact 3.1 Banners
We'll have to wait for the 3.1 livestream for official details on who the character event Banners will be, but there has been reliable leakers providing some information on the possible upcoming 3.1 Banners.
According to the usually reliable leaker Ubatcha1 on Twitter, Phase 1 of 3.1 will feature new Sumeru characters 5-Star Cyno and 4-Star Candace, with 5-Star Nilou featured in Phase 2 of version 3.1.
Going off information compiled by the saveyourprimos site, Cyno is an Electro Polearm user, Candace is a Hydro Polearm user, and Nilou is a Hydro sword user.
Just like with the character Banners, there is no official word on what the 3.1 weapon Banner will be in Genshin Impact, so we've just got information from leakers and beta dataminers to work off from now.
With this in mind, the unofficial Genshin statistics site Project Amber has the new 5-Star Staff of the Scarlet Sands (polearm) and 5-Star Key of Khaj-Nisut (sword) listed as coming in version 3.1.
If the leaks on the next weapon Banner and character Banners in Genshin Impact turn out to be true, then Staff of the Scarlet Sands will be Cyno's signature weapon and will run in Phase 1 of 3.1, and Key of Khaj-Nisut will be Nilou's signature weapon, so will run in Phase 2 of version 3.1.
If the information above turns out to be accurate, the character Banners we'll see featured in the 3.1 update include:
- Debut of Cyno (5-Star Electro)
- Debut of Nilou (5-Star Hydro)
- Debut of Candace (4-Star Hydro)
As a reminder, none of these Banners and characters have been officially confirmed, so we'll have to see during the Genshin Impact 3.1 livestream if the leaks were accurate or not.
