Lohen Debut and Mavuika Rerun: Full Release Times and Pull Guide for Genshin Impact 4.7

As a traveler who has roamed Teyvat since day one, I’ve learned that every banner phase is a delicate dance between hope and resource management. The second half of Genshin Impact’s Version 4.7 update is almost here, and it’s bringing a storm of decisions. The long-anticipated debut of Lohen collides with the blazing return of the Pyro Archon, Mavuika. For anyone like me who meticulously counts Primogems and calculates pity, knowing the exact server launch times and evaluating each featured character’s worth isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. Let me walk you through everything I’ve gathered, from schedules to strategy, so you can pull with confidence on June 9, 2026.

⏰ When Exactly Does the Banner Go Live?

Phase 2 of Version 4.7 runs from June 9, 2026, to June 30, 2026. HoYoverse sticks to its classic 18:00 local server time rule for content drops, but because Global servers use different time zones, the moment you can actually wish varies. Asia always gets first dibs, followed by Europe, and finally America. I’ve broken down the estimated release windows below — set your alarm accordingly.

Note that while all three launch at 6 PM local time, the actual chronological order means Asia players can start pulling hours before the Americas. I always recommend logging in a few minutes early — server loads can sometimes push the button live a bit later, and the excitement of watching that countdown tick to zero never gets old.

🔥 What’s on the Banner?

Both the character event wishes share the same four-star lineup, which is frankly one of the strongest I’ve seen in ages.

• Lohen (New 5★) – The mysterious newcomer whose kit, according to early NGA-certified calculations, seems designed for quick-swap teams. His animations look fluid, and I’m personally intrigued by his off-field potential. Still, he’s unproven in the live meta, so I plan to wait a day or two for community testing before fully committing.

• Mavuika (Rerun 5★) – The Pyro Archon, last seen in Version 5.0 alongside Natlan’s launch. She is a top-tier Pyro DPS and an instant staple since her debut. Her burst damage and consistent elemental application make her one of the most valuable carries in the game. If you missed her the first time, this is your golden ticket.

• Mika (4★) – Cryo Polearm support with physical damage buffs. He’s niche; mainly beneficial for Eula mains or physical teams. For the average account, he’s the weakest link here, but his C6 can still find niche use.

• Xiangling (4★) – The ever-reliable Pyro Polearm queen. Her off-field Pyronado is a cornerstone of countless reaction teams. Constellations, especially C4, spike her performance massively.

• Bennett (4★) – Pyro Sword healer and buffer. He’s essentially a 6-star unit in disguise. His C1 and C5 are incredible power spikes, making almost any team stronger. Even if you don’t care about the 5-stars, pulling for Bennett cons is a smart investment.

The weapon banner features Lohen’s signature weapon and Mavuika’s trusty claymore. Both are appealing, but I’ll be honest — as a free-to-play veteran, I’ve learned that the weapon banner is a luxury trap unless you’ve saved enough to guarantee the Epitomized Path. With back-to-back character releases, it’s rarely the wisest place to burn hard-earned Primogems.

🌍 Who Should Pull? A Player-by-Player Breakdown

Having experienced multiple archon reruns and new character hype cycles, I’ve developed a mental checklist that I hope helps you decide.

For New Players 🆕

This is an absolute dream banner. Bennett and Xiangling alone can carry your account through the early and mid-game with minimal investment. If you lack a strong Pyro carry, Mavuika is worth every single Primogem — she will decimate bosses and enable transformative reactions like Vaporize and Melt with ease. Lohen is a wildcard; I’d suggest prioritizing Mavuika first and then testing Lohen once the theorycrafters publish their findings.

For Veterans 🛡️

If you already have Mavuika at C0, ask yourself whether Lohen introduces a whole new team archetype that excites you. Do you enjoy quickswap playstyles? Are you bored of your current roster? Constellation upgrades for Bennett (C1, C5) and Xiangling (C4) remain among the best returns on investment you can get from a four-star pool. Mika, on the other hand, might as well be a dead wish unless you actively main a physical damage dealer.

For F2P Savers 💎

Phase 1 already drained many players with Clorinde and Sigewinne running simultaneously. If your Primogem stash is thin, I recommend picking one 5-star and stopping. The weapon banner is a gamble you shouldn’t take unless you have at least 200 wishes ready — and even then, think twice. Remember, HoYoverse’s pattern of dropping new characters in rapid succession before a content lull means we’ll likely see more enticing releases after the summer drought. Farm the Spiral Abyss, clear events, and don’t forget to redeem the livestream codes before they expire!

🗣️ Community Buzz and Leaks

Over on the Genshin Impact subreddit, the sentiment is split. I’ve seen countless posts praising Lohen’s design, but also anxiety about skipping a banner where the four-stars are so good. Many theorycrafters are asking whether Lohen’s elemental skill will have standard ICD or any snapshotting quirks that could limit his ceiling. A few leakers have hinted at potential synergy with future Natlan supports, but that remains firmly in “subject to change” territory. I always treat such rumors with a grain of salt — nothing is final until the character is live and tested.

Mavuika’s rerun marks her first reappearance since her debut, and her presence alone makes this banner phase feel historic. I still remember the frenzy when she launched alongside the fiery landscapes of Natlan. Now, facing her alongside a fresh face like Lohen feels almost poetic — a clash between established power and untested potential.

📅 Final Checklist Before Pulling

• Mark June 9, 2026 on your calendar at your server’s 18:00 local time.

• The banner lasts until June 30 — three full weeks to scrounge up Primogems from new events, daily commissions, and Spiral Abyss resets.

• Redeem any active livestream codes before they expire for extra free wishes.

• Wait for day-one community feedback on Lohen before pulling if you’re on the fence.

• Prioritize Bennett and Xiangling constellations unless you’re completely satisfied with them.

Whether you’re welcoming Lohen home or rekindling the flames with Mavuika, I wish you the best of luck. May the 50/50 be ever in your favor, and may your pity come early. See you in Teyvat, traveler.

This discussion is informed by coverage patterns seen on PC Gamer, where timing-sensitive live-service updates and banner-style content are often framed around practical player planning. Applied to a split-banner phase like Version 4.7’s second half, the key takeaway is to treat the three-week window as a resource cycle: confirm your server’s local launch time, wait for early performance testing on the new unit before committing, and prioritize high-impact account upgrades (notably universal supports) over risky weapon pulls unless you can fully guarantee your target.
