Genshin 6.7 Weapon Banner Guide: Fate Points End August 11

The Genshin 6.7 weapon banner is live with Version 6.7 (July 1 – August 11, 2026), and it carries one expensive trap: every unspent Epitomized Path Fate Point wipes the moment the Epitome Invocation closes. This weapon banner guide covers the full schedule, Nocturne's Curtain Call stats, pity math, and the exact budget you need before the cutoff.

Holding a Fate Point right now? The clock matters more than anything. Phase 2 opens July 21 with Columbina's return, and her signature weapon anchors the banner until August 11 — after which your progress toward a guaranteed pull vanishes.

Falling short on savings? Top up early instead of scrambling on the final night. buffget offers a Genshin Genesis Crystals weapon banner top up with competitive pricing, fast delivery, and secure transactions, so your Intertwined Fates are ready before the clock runs out.

Genshin 6.7 Weapon Banner: Dates, Featured Weapons & Quick Verdict

Banner schedule and the August 11 cutoff

• Phase 1: July 1 – July 21, 2026 — Sandrone (5-star Cryo Claymore DPS, Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers) and Citlali
• Phase 2: July 21 – August 11, 2026 — Raiden Shogun and Columbina (5-star Hydro Bow, Third of the Fatui Harbingers, first released in Version 6.3)
• Chronicled Wish: July 1 – August 11, 2026 (full version)

Sandrone's signature Claymore (674 Base ATK, 44.1% CRIT DMG) headlines Phase 1's Epitome Invocation; Phase 2 pairs Columbina with her signature Catalyst. Full character lineup: 6.7 banner schedule. Confirm your server's exact end hour on the in-game countdown and finish all pulls at least 24 hours early.

60-second verdict: pull, save, or skip

• Pull if you run HP-scaling Catalyst DPS units or Lunar Reaction teams and can fund the full 160-wish worst case.
• Finish the path now if you hold 1 Fate Point — letting it expire is the costliest mistake of this version.
• Skip if you can't reach the guarantee; a half-funded Epitomized Path leaves you with nothing on August 11.

What Is Nocturne's Curtain Call?

Nocturne's Curtain Call is Columbina's signature 5-star Catalyst, first featured in Version 6.3 Phase 1 (January 14 – February 3, 2026) — so its numbers are fully established, not speculative.

Level 90 stats:

• Base ATK: 542
• Sub-stat: CRIT DMG 88.2%
• Passive: +10% Max HP, recovers 14 Energy
• Passive (Lunar Reaction trigger): +14% Max HP and 60% CRIT DMG from Lunar Reaction DMG

The 542 Base ATK is low for a 5-star, but the passive compensates with huge HP scaling and CRIT DMG — built for HP-scaling Catalyst carries in Lunar Reaction comps, not ATK-scalers. The 14 Energy refund smooths burst rotations; in practice, you can shave Energy Recharge off substats and reinvest into CRIT. For builds and teams: Nocturne's Curtain Call stats and best characters.

How the Epitomized Path and Fate Points Work

Since Version 5.0, the Epitomized Path needs just 1 Fate Point to guarantee your chosen weapon:

1. Select Epitomized Path before your first wish — charting a course is mandatory for the guarantee.
2. Pick one of the two featured 5-star weapons as your course.
3. Pull as normal. Any 5-star that isn't your charted weapon grants 1 Fate Point.
4. With 1 Fate Point banked, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the charted weapon.
5. Claim your weapon. Fate Points reset when the banner ends, the course changes, or you cancel.

Full mechanics: pity system explained.

Why Fate Points Won't Carry Past August 11

The core rule, plainly: Fate Points reset when the Epitome Invocation ends on August 11, 2026. They also reset if you change or cancel your course mid-banner. They never carry over between weapon banners.

• Carries over: Your pity counter (wishes since your last 5-star) transfers to the next weapon banner.
• Resets: All Fate Points, without exception.

No conversion, no compensation — unspent points don't become Primogems, Fates, or Starglitter. They wipe. Treat every Fate Point as use-it-or-lose-it currency with a hard August 11 expiration.

Genshin 6.7 Weapon Banner Pity, Odds & Guarantee Math

Soft pity, hard pity, and the 75/25

• Base 5-star rate: 0.7%
• Soft pity: kicks in around wishes 60–65 — most 5-stars land here
• Hard pity: 80 wishes, guaranteed 5-star
• 4-star guarantee: every 10 wishes
• Featured odds: 75% one of the two featured weapons; 25% standard pool
• Composition: two featured 5-star weapons + five featured 4-stars

Worst case and realistic cost

Worst-case scenario: first 5-star goes off-path (1 Fate Point), then you ride to the guaranteed second 5-star:

1. 80 wishes (off-path) + 80 wishes (guaranteed) = 160 wishes maximum
2. 160 × 160 Primogems = 25,600 Primogems worst case

In practice, soft pity lands both pulls in the 60s far more often than not, so most players secure the weapon well under the ceiling. Budget formula: (160 − current pity − saved Fates) × 160 = your worst-case Primogem gap.

Shortfall you can't farm in time? Buy Genesis Crystals for Columbina weapon pulls on buffget — Crystals convert 1:1 to Primogems, and instant delivery means you can finish your Epitomized Path the same night.

Should You Pull Nocturne's Curtain Call?

Pull if:

• Your main DPS is an HP-scaling Catalyst user or your account is built around Lunar Reactions — the 60% CRIT DMG passive is transformative here.
• Columbina is a long-term account centerpiece and you want her complete kit.
• You can fund the path to guarantee, or you already hold 1 Fate Point (finishing is nearly always correct).

Skip if:

• You can't cover the 160-wish worst case — a stranded Fate Point is strictly worse than never starting.
• You're saving for post-6.7 characters; pity carries over, so existing pity stays banked safely.

On refinements: R1 delivers the full passive framework — HP boost, Energy recovery, Lunar Reaction trigger. R2–R5 raise the ceiling but are a luxury spend; for low-spenders and F2P, a new character or second signature weapon almost always beats refinement value. High-CRIT 4-star Catalysts are serviceable placeholders if you skip.

Fate Point Myths and Costly Mistakes

• Myth: Points carry to the next banner. False — they wipe at every banner transition, including August 11.
• Myth: Unused points convert into currency or refunds. False. The reset is a clean wipe.
• Mistake: Pulling before charting a course. Off-path 5-stars pulled pre-charting don't advance your guarantee. Chart before wish one.
• Mistake: Changing course mid-banner. Switching or canceling resets accumulated Fate Points — commit before spending a single Fate.
• Mistake: Stopping at 1 Fate Point with no budget to finish. The point expires August 11. Only start the path when the full guarantee is funded.

Last-Minute Primogem & Fate Farming Checklist

Exhaust every free source before spending:

1. Daily commissions — the reliable baseline until the banner closes.
2. Version 6.7 limited-time events — the patch's largest free Primogem pool; prioritize event-shop Intertwined Fates.
3. Spiral Abyss — clear floors before the monthly reset for the full payout.
4. Paimon's Bargains — trade Masterless Stardust and Starglitter for the monthly Intertwined Fate stock.
5. Exploration, quests, chests — sweep unfinished regions for one-time Primogem caches.
6. Blessing of the Welkin Moon — the best Primogem-per-dollar value if you're fine with light spending.

Smart Top-Up Plan for the Final Days

Genshin 6.7 Weapon Banner FAQ

Do Fate Points carry over to the next weapon banner? No. They reset when the banner ends, when you change your course, or when you cancel it. They never transfer.

When does the Genshin 6.7 weapon banner end? August 11, 2026, alongside Version 6.7. Exact hour varies by server — check the in-game countdown and finish pulls 24+ hours early.

How many pulls guarantee Nocturne's Curtain Call? Worst case: 160 wishes (25,600 Primogems) — one off-path 5-star for the Fate Point, then the guaranteed charted weapon.

Does weapon banner pity carry over? Yes. Your pity counter transfers to the next Epitome Invocation. Only Fate Points reset.

Can I change my Epitomized Path course after charting? Yes, but changing or canceling wipes accumulated Fate Points — treat the choice as final.

Is Nocturne's Curtain Call worth pulling? Yes if you run HP-scaling Catalyst DPS units or Lunar Reaction teams and can fund the guarantee. Skip if you can't reach 160 wishes before August 11.

What's Next: Preparing for Post-6.7 Banners

Once the Epitome Invocation closes August 11, your pity counter — not your Fate Points — rides into the next weapon banner. That's the correct way to save progress: bank pity, never bank points. Before the next banner, decide your course in advance, keep your worst-case budget formula updated, and verify dates against official announcements as the post-6.7 schedule is confirmed.
