‘Genshin Impact’ Thoma debuts and Hu Tao comes back in new banner

Thoma and Hu Tao are up for grabs this week!

Two new banners came out for Genshin Impact on Wednesday, and with them comes the return of a fan-favorite character, along with a fresh new face and plenty of sharp-as-steel weapons.

First up is the Moment of Bloom banner, which contains Thoma, a pyro character fond of pointy polearms, finally making his debut along with returning character Hu Tao, another pyro-type character that’s adept with polearms. It seems the duo has similar tastes and interests, eh?

Secondly, there’s the Epitome Invocation banner, which comes with a chance increase to drop characters like Sayu, a claymore-wielding anemo-type, and Diona, a bow using cryo-type. 

Take a look at Thoma’s Crimson Armor of Loyalty trailer for yourself below.

There are also some 5-star weapons for some of these characters available in both banners. Maybe take a look at our breakdown of Genshin Impact’s  best DPS characters, equipment and artifact sets  if you need a hand figuring all this out.

At least half the appeal of Genshin Impact is its characters, and luckily we’ve got an extensive breakdown for most of them. It includes ages, heights, birthdays and backstories for the cast. Best to know at least a little history of whoever you choose to run around Teyvat with, right? I think so, anyway.
