Rumors swirl as early leaks hint that Luna V may take the spotlight in Genshin Impact’s 6.4 banners, with whispers of new elemental abilities, fresh team dynamics, and potential reruns sparking excitement across the community.
Genshin Impact Luna V (6.4) Release Date
Genshin Impact’s version 6.4, titled Luna V, is expected to launch in late March 2026, following the usual six-week update pattern after version 6.3. Players can expect the update to bring Luna V’s debut banner, new story content tied to Fontaine, and seasonal events introducing fresh gameplay modes. As with past releases, maintenance will likely begin a few hours before the update goes live, with Primogem compensation provided once servers reopen.
Genshin Impact Luna V, aka 6.4, will be released on February 25, 2026. The new update will add Varka, and should bring back many of the strong characters as rerun in the banners. To learn more about the banners, take a look at the following section.

Genshin Impact’s Luna V banners in version 6.4 feature leaked characters with specific rates and schedules. Expect a limited 5-star like Escoffier on the first phase from August 28 to September 17, paired with a 4-star such as Citlali. Phase two shifts to another 5-star rerun, Xianyun, alongside 4-stars like Kachina from August 28 to September 17 as well. Pity mechanics carry over between phases, with a 50/50 chance on the featured 5-star. Pulls cost 160 Genesis Crystals for a ten-roll, aligning with standard event rules.
Genshin Impact Luna V (6.3) banners will feature one new character – Varka. He will be a 5-star character with the Anemo element and Claymore weapon type.

We should see his drip marketing released soon, which will confirm him for Luna V.

Varka kit leaks and abilities Genshin 6.4
Varka, the leaked 5-star Anemo Claymore user in Genshin Impact 6.4 (Luna V), features a versatile DPS kit centered on team composition and multi-element adaptation.
Normal Attacks
Varka wields dual claymores in his standard state, delivering typical claymore Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks enhanced in Gale Rush Mode.
In this mode (activated post-Skill), Normal and Charged Attacks convert to Elemental DMG matching party members’ elements (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo), without infusion overrides.
Damage scales with party buffs: 140% original with one stack (2 Anemo or 2 same-element chars), up to 220% with two stacks.
Elemental Skill
Tap: Leaps forward with an Anemo slash (AoE DMG), enters Gale Rush Mode; hold extends leap distance.
Special version (with applicable elements): Triggers Azure Devour, a stamina-free Charged Attack dealing dual Elemental + Anemo DMG; Normal Attacks in mode reduce its cooldown (0.5s base, 1s with 2 Hexerei chars post-quest).
Recent beta tweaks boosted Four Wind’s Ascension and Azure Devour multipliers (e.g., 316%+170% Skill DMG).
Elemental Burst
Two-hit forward slash: First hit deals priority Elemental DMG (team-based), second pure Anemo DMG, granting ATK-scaling bonuses per element present.
Creates a “Gale Arena” pulling enemies, enabling 0-cost stance swaps; implodes for AoE Anemo on exit.
Passives and Synergies
Swirl reactions grant Azure Fang Oath stacks for DMG boosts; Mondstadt/Hexerei chars (e.g., Bennett, Durin, Nicole) further reduce Skill CD and activate Special Rite for infinite combos in ideal teams.
C1 enables instant enhanced Skill post-cast; C6 allows double casts with buffs.
Optimal as main DPS with 2 Anemo + 2 same-element (e.g., Pyro via Durin/Bennett) for meta-breaking output.
Leaks from beta (Seele/Iremiyu) are subject to change, emphasizing Mondstadt/Hexerei themes after “Witch’s Homework” quest.
Varka signature weapon leaks Genshin 6.4
Varka’s signature weapon in Genshin Impact 6.4 leaks is the Ballad of the Mighty Wolf, a 5-star Claymore tailored to his Anemo DPS kit. This weapon boosts his attack speed and damage stacking, synergizing with his Normal Attacks, Skill, and Charged Attacks like Azure Devour.
Weapon Stats
Base ATK reaches 608 at level 90, with a substat of 33.1% CRIT Rate-ideal for his CRIT-focused passives.
The Indomitable Chivalry effect grants 10% ATK SPD and 1-2 stacks of Four Winds’ Hymn per Normal Attack, Skill, or Charged Attack hit.
Max 4 stacks increase DMG by 7.5% each (up to 30%) for 4s, triggering every 0.01s for fluid uptime.
Kit Synergy
It enhances Azure Fang’s Oath stacks from Swirls, amplifying Varka’s multi-element Normal/Charged Attacks in Gale Rush/Stormward Charge mode.
Recent beta buffs tie it to C6, raising CRIT DMG from 15% to 20% per stack in his Wind’s Vanguard passive.
Visual leaks show a special skin unlockable via his story quest, like a “Dire Stygian” variant with thematic flair.
Leaks indicate it’s his BiS for meta teams with 2 Anemo + matching elements (e.g., Pyro), but remains unconfirmed by HoYoverse.
