miHoYo announced the fourth limited gacha banner in Genshin Impact (PC, PS4, PS5, Mobile, Switch soon), with Zhongli as the featured character. Saying more about Zhongli would be spoilers. Genshin has an incredibly fun story so far and I sure hope you guys aren’t skipping the dialogues in 2020. In the best dub, Zhongli (pronounced Shouri in Japanese) is voiced by Tomoaki Maeno, who most notably voices Hiro Hayami in Pretty Rhythm, the best anime of the past decade. Maeno also voices Ash Carbide in the Kiseki / Trails series. Needless to say, I highly respect the work of Keith Silverstein and of all the English cast as well. Yes, this guide wasn’t written by a robot, and includes opinions. Be warned.
“Vago Mundo” Zhongli is a five star Geo user, and a polearm user. His Elemental Burst most notably lets him petrify enemies.
The Zhongli banner in Genshin Impact, Gentry of Hermitage, will begin on December 1, 18:00 (server time). The banner will last till December 22, at 14:59:59 (server time).
First, the pity counter transfers from one Limited banner to another. Secondly, the pity counter limit is still 90. At your 90th pull, you’ll get a guaranteed 5 star, with a 50% chance to get the feature character. If you don’t get them, next time you reach your 90th pull, it’s guaranteed to be the feature character. This also carries over. For example, if you reached your 90th pull on the Childe banner. But didn’t get Childe. You are guaranteed to get Zhongli on your next 90th pull.
As usual, three four star characters also have a drop rate boost. This time, it’s “Blazing Riff” Xinyan (Pyro, Claymore). “Frozen Ardor” Chongyun (Cryo, Claymore). And “Wolf Boy” Razor (Electro, Claymore).
Xinyan is a brand new character, and we detailed her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.
You should have stacked a lot of Primogems if you were waiting for Zhongli and didn’t pull on the Childe banner at all. The Unreconciled Stars event helped to get some Primos as well. Moreover, I wouldn’t recommend aiming for duplicates for Constellations. Getting Zhongli more than once would require you to be incredibly lucky. Or to be whaling harder than Japanese fishers violating international law.
A new weapon banner, Epitome Invocation, will be launching too on December 1, 1800 (server times):
Event Wish – Epitome Invocation
The event-exTclusive 5-star weapons Vortex Vanquisher (Polearm) and The Unforged (Claymore) will get a huge drop-rate boost!

Exclusive 5-star weapons Vortex Vanquisher (Polearm) and The Unforged (Claymore) have a drop boost on it. As usual, I definitely wouldn’t recommend pulling on the weapon banner. You’ll pull the 5 star weapon type you didn’t want. Too dangerous. Artifacts with good substats feel much more important. It’s your choice though. You can definitely see no issue pulling like crazy if you’re loaded like a Saudi Prince. No wonder he’s buying SNK.when he’s eliminating his criticizers faster than Geese would back at South Town.
The first part of Zhongli’s character quest will be coming as well: Historia Antiqua:
How to Unlock the Historia Antiqua Chapter Quest
Once Travelers have reached the required Adventure Rank and completed the prerequisite quests, you may use a Story Key to unlock Zhongli’s story quest.
