Epitome Invocation Current Banner Details

Item Probability & Drop Rate

Guaranteed ★5 Weapon With 80 Rolls

Epitome Invocation banner guarantees 5-star weapon at least once per 80 attempts.

The first time you win a 5-star weapon in this event, there is a 75% chance it will be Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds or Wolf's Gravestone. If you didn't win the promotional 5-star weapons on your first 5-star weapon, the next 5-star will be 100% one of the promotional weapon.

Guarantee Count Accumulates Only Within This Event

Note that guarantee count only accumulates wihtin the weapon event wish. This means that number of times you roll Epitome Invocation does not count for other non-weapon event such as Sparkling Steps or Wanderlust Invocation.

Should You Roll Epitome Invocation?

Roll If You Want ★5 Weapon

A 5-star weapon has significantly higher stats than lower rarity weapons so roll this banner if you have enough characters already. However, the priority of weapons is lower than characters in early game, so pull other banners if you don't have strong characters yet.

Aim For Wolf's Gravestone

Roll If You Have These Characters
Diluc	Chongyun	Razor

If you are using a character with Claymore (ex. Diluc, Chongyun, and Razor), you should definitively roll this banner to get Wolf's Gravestone, ★5 promotional weapon of this banner. It increases all party members' ATK significantly with its weapon skill.

Get Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds

Roll If You Have These Characters
Mona	Lisa	Ningguang
Klee	-	-

The Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, the other ★5 promotional weapon, is great weapon for Catalyst users such as Mona, Lisa, Ningguang, and Klee since it gives Elemental DMG boost largely. It also increases movement SPD which is great for exploration.

Sacrificial Weapon Series Are Also Attractive

Roll If You Have These Characters
Diluc	Venti	-

It's also notable that 4-star Sacrificial weapons have a strong weapon skill to end its cooldown instantly so if you use characters like Diluc or Venti who have strong skills, it's worth rolling this banner.
