Genshin Impact Version Luna I (often called 6.0 in player searches) was a completed 2025 banner cycle, not a current schedule. It launched on September 10, 2025, with Lauma’s debut and Nahida’s rerun in Phase 1. Phase 2 then brought Flins’ debut, Yelan’s rerun, and Aino’s featured four-star appearance. The historical schedule ran from September 10 through October 21, 2025; those wishes have ended. Aino also had a separate Archon Quest recruitment route, so wishing was not the only way to add her during the update.
When did the Genshin Impact Luna I (6.0) banners run?
Version Luna I, officially titled Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue, launched on September 10, 2025. HoYoverse Studio Technical Director Zhenzhong Yi announced the release on August 29, writing, “We’re excited to announce that Genshin Impact Version Luna I, Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue, will be released on September 10.” The official announcement establishes the two-half lineup, while the precise dates and boosted four-star lists below come from a retrospective updated by Beebom on September 12, 2025.
The schedule is historical. Phase 1 ended when Phase 2 began, and Phase 2 ended on October 21, 2025.
| Phase | Featured five-star characters | Boosted four-star characters | Dates listed in the retrospective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Lauma (debut); Nahida (rerun) | Aino, Kaveh, Kuki Shinobu | September 10–30, 2025 |
| Phase 2 | Flins (debut); Yelan (rerun) | Dori, Sucrose | September 30–October 21, 2025 |
For the official launch announcement and its broad half-by-half lineup, see HoYoverse’s Version Luna I announcement on PlayStation Blog. For the dated phase breakdown and secondary four-star listing, see Beebom’s Luna I banner retrospective.
What was featured in Phase 1?
Phase 1 paired Luna I’s new five-star character, Lauma, with a rerun of Nahida. Its listed boosted four-stars were Aino, Kaveh and Kuki Shinobu. This made the opening half the part of the update associated with Lauma’s debut and the first banner appearance of Aino.
Lauma’s debut
Lauma is a five-star Dendro Catalyst user. HoYoverse describes her kit as converting Bloom into Lunar-Bloom and using Verdant Dew, linking her combat identity to the new Lunar reaction systems introduced with Luna I. The announcement establishes those mechanics and her weapon and element; it does not establish a universal ranking or a best team for every account.
Nahida’s rerun
Nahida was the returning five-star in the first half. “Rerun” means an already released limited five-star was made available again, rather than introduced for the first time in Luna I. Players researching the old schedule should therefore treat Lauma as the new five-star and Nahida as the returning option.
Aino, Kaveh and Kuki Shinobu
The retrospective lists Aino, Kaveh and Kuki Shinobu as Phase 1’s boosted four-stars. Aino was the new four-star associated with the update, but her banner was not her only route into a party: the new Archon Quest could also allow players to invite her.
What was featured in Phase 2?
Phase 2 shifted the spotlight to Flins, with Yelan returning alongside him. The dated secondary listing names Dori and Sucrose as the boosted four-stars for this half. The official overview independently confirms the broad second-half pairing of Flins and Yelan, while the retrospective supplies the schedule dates and four-star names.
Flins’s debut
Flins is a five-star Electro Polearm user. His stated specialty is Lunar-Charged damage, another mechanic tied to Luna I’s Moon Wheel systems. Because Flins arrived in the second half, he was not available in the opening Lauma/Nahida period.
Yelan’s rerun
Yelan occupied the returning five-star slot in Phase 2. As with Nahida in Phase 1, the rerun label identifies a previously released character returning for a limited wish period; it does not indicate a new Luna I character.
Dori and Sucrose
Dori and Sucrose are the four-stars named in the retrospective’s Phase 2 listing. That list is a record of the boosted characters attached to the phase, not a complete catalog of every four-star character that could be obtained from the game’s wider wish pool.
How are Lauma, Flins and Aino different?
The three names in the title cover two five-star debuts and one four-star character, with different elements, weapons and acquisition context.
| Character | Rarity | Element | Weapon | Luna I role or acquisition note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lauma | Five-star | Dendro | Catalyst | Phase 1 debut; converts Bloom into Lunar-Bloom and uses Verdant Dew |
| Flins | Five-star | Electro | Polearm | Phase 2 debut; deals Lunar-Charged damage |
| Aino | Four-star | Hydro | Claymore | Phase 1 boosted four-star; also recruitable through the new Archon Quest |
These descriptions come from HoYoverse’s launch material. They explain each character’s announced identity without implying that one is automatically better for every roster, play style or progression stage.
Why did Luna I introduce Nod-Krai and Lunar reactions?
Luna I began the Nod-Krai setting and the year-long Song of the Welkin Moon version series. The banner choices were therefore tied to the update’s new setting and combat vocabulary rather than being an unrelated collection of reruns.
Lauma and Flins each have a Moon Wheel connected to Lunar reactions. Lauma’s announced focus is Lunar-Bloom, created by converting Bloom, while Flins deals Lunar-Charged damage. In practical terms, the banner identities signal which new reaction themes HoYoverse used to introduce the Luna I era: Dendro-based Lunar-Bloom for Lauma and Electro-based Lunar-Charged damage for Flins.
The Moon Wheel terminology is part of the character descriptions in the launch coverage. The available announcement material does not provide a complete account-by-account damage comparison, so the banner history can explain the systems’ connection without declaring a universal pull priority.
Could you obtain Aino without wishing?
Yes. Aino was presented as a four-star Hydro Claymore user on the Phase 1 wish, but the new Archon Quest also offered a way to invite her into the party. That made her acquisition situation different from Lauma, Flins, Nahida and Yelan, whose appearances in this schedule were five-star wish slots.
The quest route is important when reading old pull plans: a player interested specifically in Aino did not necessarily need to spend wishes during Phase 1. The announcement establishes the quest invitation, but it does not state that the recruitment route remains available indefinitely after Luna I.
How should you use this historical banner record?
Use the phase split to reconstruct what was available at a particular point in the 2025 update, not as a current recommendation or live banner notice.
- Looking for Lauma: check the September 10–30 Phase 1 record and the Nahida rerun that accompanied her.
- Looking for Flins: check the September 30–October 21 Phase 2 record and the Yelan rerun that accompanied him.
- Looking for Aino: remember both the Phase 1 four-star listing and the Archon Quest invitation route.
- Checking four-stars: treat Aino, Kaveh and Kuki Shinobu as the dated Phase 1 boosted list, and Dori and Sucrose as the dated Phase 2 list supplied by the retrospective.
A pull recommendation cannot be derived from the schedule alone. The sources identify elements, weapons, announced Lunar mechanics and acquisition routes, but they do not assess every account’s existing teams, resource limits or preferred play style.
Why do some pages call this update “6.0”?
“6.0” is a player-facing search term used to find the Luna I update, while HoYoverse’s official branding was Version Luna I: Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue. Both labels refer to the same September 2025 update in the context of this banner history. Using the two terms together helps distinguish the historical schedule from later versions.
What is certain about the dates and lineups?
There are two levels of confirmation. HoYoverse’s launch announcement confirms Lauma with Nahida in the first half and Flins, Yelan and Aino in the second half. The exact September 10–30 and September 30–October 21 dates, along with the four-star names, are attributed here to Beebom’s September 12, 2025 retrospective rather than presented as wording from the official announcement.
That distinction matters when preserving an archive: the broad phase order is official, while the detailed dated table is a secondary schedule record. In either case, Luna I is finished and should not be read as a currently active wish period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “rerun” mean in the Luna I banner list?
A rerun is a return appearance for a character who debuted in an earlier version. In this schedule, Nahida and Yelan filled returning five-star slots, while Lauma and Flins were the new five-star debuts.
Why does the retrospective show September 30 in both phase ranges?
The listed ranges use September 30 as the handoff date between phases: Phase 1 is recorded as September 10–30 and Phase 2 as September 30–October 21. The sources here do not specify the exact server-time transition hour, so the shared calendar date should not be treated as an hourly timetable.
Do the listed four-stars represent every four-star character available in those wishes?
No. They are the boosted four-star names identified for each phase in the dated retrospective. The list is not a complete inventory of the game’s entire four-star wish pool.
Is there an account-wide best choice between Lauma, Flins, Nahida and Yelan?
The launch descriptions establish their elements, weapons and announced mechanics, but they do not provide a universal ranking. Any choice would depend on a player’s existing teams, resources and preferred reactions, so the banner schedule alone cannot settle that decision.
