What is the genshin impact banner history?

For those looking to see what the last few Genshin Impact banners had for offer, we’ve got a list of the previous three banners that were available. If a character or weapon you’ve been hunting for turned up in some of these, you may have to wait a good while before they pop up again…

The Azure Excursion banner, with Ayato as the star character.
