Genshin Impact 7.2: Mitya Debut, Furina Rerun, and Shared Pity

I’ve been staring at the Version 7.2 wish screen for a while now, and the first thing I notice is how neatly the phase splits its attention. On one side stands Mitya, an event-exclusive Electro debut; on the other, Furina returns as a limited Hydro five-star. Both character banners run concurrently from after the 7.2 update until 2026-11-24 17:59 server time, and the time zone is not stated in the official materials. That deadline matters, but the bigger mechanic is the shared guarantee count between Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2. I can build pity on one banner and switch to the other without losing progress, which is the kind of detail that changes my whole pull plan.

The split banner at a glance

Detail	What I know
Patch	Version 7.2
Banner end	2026-11-24 17:59 server time
Featured 5-stars	Mitya (Electro, event-exclusive), Furina (Hydro, event-exclusive)
Featured 4-stars	Valeriy (Electro), Charlotte (Cryo), Rosaria (Cryo)
Weapon banner	Starsealed Edict (Catalyst), Splendor of Tranquil Waters (Sword)
Pity	Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2 share guarantee count

Mitya occupies Character Event Wish, while Furina sits on Character Event Wish-2. The 4-star pool is identical on both banners, so if I’m chasing a specific support—say Charlotte for a Cryo comfort slot—I don’t have to worry about which five-star banner I choose. Exact drop rates are not stated in the official materials; I’ll check the Wish screen Details for the current rate disclosure. The guarantee count carries between the two character banners, but it is independent of the weapon banner and standard wish pity. That separation is important, because weapon pity is its own little maze.

Mitya: new Electro, unconfirmed kit

Mitya is event-exclusive, and this is the only way to obtain them during 7.2. Here’s the kicker: official materials do not detail their kit, role, or constellation value. So any meta claim I see right now is Unconfirmed — subject to change. I won’t pretend I know the full rotation, and I’m leaving a blank spot in my planner until the Test Run and gameplay data arrive. If I were prioritizing a new account or Electro roster depth, the debut banner would be the straightforward path. If I already had a strong Electro core, I’d wait for kit verification before committing Primogems. No shame in that.

Furina: the known Hydro option

Furina returns as a limited Hydro five-star. She is not available in the standard wish, so this rerun is the only current opportunity to pull her. For accounts that missed her original run, the shared pity with Mitya’s banner is a real convenience: I can build guarantee on one and switch to the other without losing progress. Furina’s usual considerations are Hydro application and healing support, but her exact synergy with Mitya is Unconfirmed — subject to change until gameplay data is available. I’m treating that pairing as a question mark, not a promise. What is clear is the element pair: Mitya is Electro and Furina is Hydro, which opens standard Electro-Charged and Hydro-support frameworks. Charlotte and Rosaria add Cryo reaction options, while Valeriy gives another Electro body for resonance. Official materials do not include Mitya’s full kit, so specific team compositions cannot be confirmed yet.

Weapons and the risk line

The weapon banner pairs Starsealed Edict (Catalyst) with Splendor of Tranquil Waters (Sword), giving pullers a direct path to signature gear for the new and returning five-stars. Both weapons are event-exclusive, and the Epitomized Path system lets me chart toward one of the two. Still, the weapon banner remains a higher-risk spend than character banners. For F2P players, my honest advice is to skip unless I’m already deep into a weapon pity cycle. Setting Epitomized Path before wishing and confirming the Fate Point rules in-game is the bare minimum.

Test Run first, then decide

The Test Run trial event runs alongside both character banners. I can use fixed lineups featuring the trial characters in specific stages and earn rewards for completing challenges. This is the lowest-cost way to sample Mitya and Furina before pulling, and it’s exactly where I’d start. No additional login events or compensation are listed in the source materials for these banners, so I’m not budgeting around extra freebies.

Pulling advice by spending style

• 🟢 F2P: Use Test Run first. If I’m near guarantee, decide between Mitya and Furina before pulling, since pity is shared. Skip the weapon banner unless I’ve saved exclusively for it.

• 🟡 Low-spend: Welkin and Battle Pass players should map Primogem income against the 2026-11-24 17:59 deadline. A single 50/50 loss on one banner carries directly to the other.

• 🔵 Optimal: If I want both five-stars, pull on the banner where I’m closer to pity first, then reassess. For weapon pulls, set Epitomized Path before wishing and confirm the Fate Point rules in-game.

One more planning note: Valeriy will move to the standard wish Wanderlust Invocation in the next version. If I only want the 4-star Electro unit, I can wait for that transition rather than spending on this banner. That’s a small detail, but it can save a surprising number of wishes.

My bottom line

Version 7.2’s first phase offers a new Electro five-star in Mitya and a high-profile Furina rerun, with a weapon banner that pairs their signature options. The deadline is 2026-11-24 17:59, and the shared pity count is the key mechanic to plan around. I’ll verify Mitya’s kit in Test Run before committing, and I’ll treat unconfirmed meta talk with caution. The banner is exciting, but the smartest pull is still the one I make after checking the details… and maybe after one more look at my Primogem count.

This perspective is supported by Rock Paper Shotgun, a long-established outlet for detailed gaming analysis, and it reinforces the practical value of banner planning in Genshin Impact 7.2: when two limited character wishes share pity, players gain flexibility to pivot between a new debut like Mitya and a proven option like Furina without resetting their progress, making test runs, roster gaps, and saving discipline more important than rushing into early pulls.
