In this Genshin Impact guide, we share details on how you can get a five-star banner weapon.

How to Get a Five-Star Banner Weapon

Getting a five-star banner weapon in Genshin Impact is purely based on RNG—in simple words, your luck. Whether we talk about the Character Event Wish banners, Epitome Invocation [Weapon’s Banner], or the permanent Wanderlust Invocation banner, they all offer a guaranteed drop at 90 wishes.

If you are performing wishes on the Weapon’s Banner, you can get the five-star featured weapon at 90 wishes or less. Here’s where we have a catch. The Weapon’s Banner features two five-star weapons. One is always a new one. Meanwhile, the other one is a re-run of any previously released weapon. 

When you get a five-star banner weapon, you have a 50/50 chance of obtaining either of the two. If you are looking for any specific five-star weapon, you can use the Epitomized Path mechanic to increase your chances of obtaining the five-star banner weapon. 

That’s it for now. Make sure to check out our coverage on the Genshin Impact version 2.6 update.
