Conclusion
The Genshin banner schedule for the Snezhnaya arc is packed. Version 7.1 is the 6th anniversary update: on top of the new 5-stars Vesna and Vodyanitsa, Travelers get 1,600 Primogems and 10 Intertwined Fates (20 wishes), a free Standard 5-star, and a free limited 5-star after clearing the 7.1 Archon Quest.
Looking at the upcoming Genshin banners, 7.2 leaks point to two Electro units built for Stellar-Conduct: Mitya as the 5-star DPS and Valeriy as his 4-star shield support. Danica, once rumored for 7.2, has no confirmed release window. With the Tsaritsa and several Fatui Harbingers among the rumored future Genshin banners, prioritize characters that fit your team and playstyle instead of spending every Primogem on each new release.
Reminder: leaked banner schedules, kits and release windows can be revised or scrapped before launch. Follow Genshin Impact’s official social media and HoYoLAB for verified news as each version approaches.
Short on Primogems for the next Genshin banner? Pick a Genshin top up package that fits your budget, and secure your target character first before chasing Constellations or signature weapons.

FAQ
Q1: What is the current Genshin banner?

Q3: Do dual 5-star character banners in one phase share pity?

Q5: What are Mitya and Valeriy’s leaked roles?
A: Mitya is a leaked 5-star Electro DPS centered on the Stellar-Conduct reaction. Valeriy is a 4-star Electro shielder and buffer designed to support Mitya’s team. Both are beta leaks and subject to change.
Q6: Is Danica coming in Version 7.2?
A: No. Danica is currently a teased satellite character with no confirmed release patch, element or kit information.
