Featured 5-Star Characters (Reruns):

• Jingliu (Destruction | Ice)
• Blade (Destruction | Wind)
• Firefly (Destruction | Fire)

Each of these characters will appear on their own event banner, accompanied by the same group of 4-star characters.

Featured 4-Star Characters (Shared Across Banners):

• Hanya
• Lynx
• Luka

These characters offer support, healing, and physical damage options that synergize well with many team comps.

Light Cone Event Warps (July 23, 2025)

Matching the rerun banners, the Light Cone Warps will also rotate in three powerful 5-star Light Cones—each tailored to the rerun characters.

5-Star Light Cones:

• I Shall Be My Own Sword (for Jingliu)
• The Unreachable Side (for Blade)
• Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest (for Firefly)

4-Star Light Cones (Shared Pool):

• A Secret Vow
• Subscribe for More!
• Resolution Shines as Pearls of Sweat

Upcoming Event: Realm of the Strange (July 31 – August 11, 2025)

One major event has been confirmed for the second half of the update:

Realm of the Strange

• Duration: July 31, 2025 – August 11, 2025
• Bonus: Double Relic Drops

This relic-boosting event is a great time to grind Caverns of Corrosion. Each clear will grant double rewards until the daily bonus cap is reached. This is an ideal moment for players to improve their gear and optimize builds for upcoming content.

How to Prepare and Maximize Rewards

If you're planning to summon during this phase:

• Save Stellar Jades for reruns or upcoming 5-star units in 3.5.
• Prioritize the Realm of the Strange for farming relics efficiently.

• Consider building synergy with shared 4-star characters like Lynx (healer) and Hanya (SP battery), who work across many team setups.
