Epitome Invocation Current Banner (5.2 Update)

5.2 Weapon Banner (First Phase)

Should You Roll At 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 the early game, so pull at other banners if you don't have the characters you want.

Niche But Powerful 5-Star Bows

Both of the featured 5-Star weapons are strong weapons, but they are very niche with only a few characters able to fully make use of their potential. If you have either Chasca or Lyney, pulling would be highly recommended!

Also Great With Other Characters That Utilize Charged Shots

Besides Chasca and Lyney, the Bows are also great for other characters that makes use of Charged Shots. Ganyu and Tighnari can easily benefit from these weapons as well!

Recommended Characters
Chasca	Lyney	Ganyu	Tighnari

Features New 4-Star Weapons

This banner features two new 4-star weapons with very unique Weapon Skills. They're not very powerful, but they are the only weapons so far that features a non-combat weapon effect!

Epitome Invocation - Gacha Rates

Item Probability & Drop Rate

Guaranteed ★5 Weapon With 80 Rolls

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

What Are The Chances Of Getting The Featured Weapon?

The first time you win a 5-star weapon in this event, there is a 75% chance it will be one of the featured weapons. 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 weapons.

Guarantee Count Accumulates Only Within This Event

Note that guarantee count only accumulates within the weapon event wish. This means that number of times you roll Epitome Invocation does not count for other non-weapon banners or limited character banners.

Epitomized Path - New Feature

Epitomized Path is a new feature that will allow you to chart a course and choose which of the two current 5-Star weapons on the banner you would like to get.
