Genshin 6.1 Banners Guide: Nefer Furina Dates & Pi

Breaking Down Genshin 6.1 Banners—Everything You Need

Version 6.1 hits October 22, 2025; pre-install starts October 20, with 300 Primogems from maintenance. Each phase runs 21 days. Solid planning here can make or break your Abyss clears.

Phase 1: Nefer and Furina Take Center Stage

From October 22 to November 12: Nefer (that 5★ Dendro Catalyst DPS beast) and Furina (5★ Hydro Sword support queen). 4★ rate-ups include Xingqiu, Collei, and Yaoyao. Standard 0.6% 5★ chance, guaranteed 4★ every 10 pulls.

Nefer? She's a Lunar-Bloom enabler—her Skill ramps Enhanced Charged Attacks with CRIT scaling, Burst shreds 25% Dendro RES. Furina dishes off-field Hydro and toggles Ousia/Pneuma for 80-90% Abyss viability. Quick steps: Check your pity in History first. Aim under 74 for soft pity (75-80 pulls per 5★). Lose the 50/50? Next one's guaranteed featured—worst case, 180 pulls or 28,800 Primogems.

Need a top-up boost? cheap Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals top up via BitTopup—competitive rates, instant delivery, fully safe, 24/7 support. (I've used 'em; no hiccups.)

Phase 2: Arlecchino Rerun and Zhongli Reliability

November 12 to December 3: Arlecchino (5★ Pyro Polearm DPS) pairs with Zhongli (5★ Geo Polearm shield god). 4★s: Lan Yan (Anemo Catalyst), Rosaria (Cryo Polearm), Yun Jin (Geo Polearm).

Arlecchino stacks 145% Bond of Life on Pyro normals (over 30% Bond), +40% Pyro DMG, 20% RES shred—hits 1.5M damage in 20s with Xilonen/Yelan/Bennett. Zhongli? Shields soak 4,000+ damage, shreds 20% RES for plunge squads. Pull if you're under 90 pity. Stick to Intertwined Fates (160 Primogems each). Got the teams already? Skip.

Weapon Banners—Signatures That Matter

Phase 1: Reliquary of Truth (Nefer's sig Catalyst: 542 ATK, 88.2% CRIT DMG; +35% Lunar-Bloom at R1, EM +80-160, CRIT DMG +24-48%; nets 20-25% DPS). 4★ Sacrificer's Staff (ATK +8-16%, ER +6-12%). Phase 2: Crimson Moon's Semblance (Arlecchino sig: 674 ATK, 22.1% CRIT Rate; Bond=25% HP, 12% DMG bonus up to 84% R5; 15-25% DPS). Vortex Vanquisher: 608 ATK, 49.6% ATK%.

0.7% 5★ rate, hard pity at 80 pulls (12,800 Primogems), soft around 63-65. Set Epitomized Path early (caps at 160 pulls). Average? 70-75 pulls per 5★. R1 sigs outperform craftables by 70-90%.
