🤔 When Will Luna III Phase 2 Drop?
Right now, Genshin Impact is in the first phase of the Luna III update, also known as version 6.2. While previous Luna updates introduced the new Nod-Krai region and some core characters like Lauma, Luna III has added more lore to the story. This includes new quests for characters like Durin and more advances in the campaign. Otherwise, Luna III has let players adjust to the region with events and character quests.

As for the second phase of Luna III, the update will be coming sooner than you think! Phase 2 will be dropping on December 23rd, 2025. This gives players only a limited amount of time to wish for Venti and Durin before the banners change. The same goes for their weapons as well. After that, Varesa and Xilonen rejoin the spotlight!
🫧 Varesa’s Weapon: The Vivid Notions Catalyst
Vivid Notions is considered as Varesa’s signature weapon, and it’s incredibly strong. Varesa is already a very unique character. She uses Plunging attacks with Burst Elemental Skills. This makes her rely heavily on raw damage and high Critical Rates. Her weapon perfectly fits her needs by boosting her overall Attack damage and Critical Hit chances.

🗡️ Xilonen’s Weapon: The Peak Patrol Song
Now we get to talk about Xilonen’s signature weapon, the Peak Patrol Song sword. Unlike Varesa, Xilonen’s kit and buff needs are a little more complex. She’s a Support character instead of a Main DPS. Her focus is on dealing Elemental Resistance Shred on enemies, which makes it easier for her party to inflict element application. Her weapon of choice increases all Elemental Skill damage that makes her buffs hit way harder.
