If you’re going for Ayaka when Genshin Impact 2.0 hits this week, bringing the Inazuma region with it, we now know what other characters you might scoop up along with her.
Genshin Impact has revealed the contents of the “Heron’s Court” banner which will go live when 2.0 hits on July 21. The rate boosted characters besides Ayaka herself will be:

Yanfei is a fairly recent new 4 star hero that first arrived back at the end of April, and this marks the second time she’s been in a banner. Chongyun is here to I guess give you some sort of cryo hero if you can’t manage to land Ayaka. I doubt he will prove to be consolation for many. Ningguang? Not sure, I guess her and Ayaka are both…classy rich girls?
As a reminder, here are the overall rates for gacha pulls in Genshin Impact, where the odds are deeply not in your favor:
But with pity pulls at:
90 pulls, where you have a 50-50 chance at getting the featured hero. If not in your first pity, your second one will guarantee them. So uh, only 180 pulls to guarantee Ayaka. The low, low price of 28,800 Primogems!
If I had to make predictions, I think that Ayaka is going to prove to be one of the most pulled-for heroes in Genshin Impact’s history. She’s a character that fans have been waiting for quite literally for pretty much the entire duration of the game, as she’s been teased and datamined for ages. She’s the first new 5 star from the first new region and has a killer kit and design. This is going to be a massive windfall for MiHoYo to be sure, and we still have Yoimiya coming up after her.
We already learned about Ayaka’s featured weapon banner, which is the Mistsplitter Reforged, a sword that directly synergizes with her kit, but could also be used on other characters. It will have its own banner alongside Ayaka’s. Here’s what the sword does:
Genshin Impact
miHoYo
“Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for every element and receive the might of Mistsplitter’s Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter’s Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character’s Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter’s Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack’s duration is calculated independently.”
Man, they love complicated weapons. But that does look very good, and may be worth going for if Ayaka is the character you’ve been waiting all this time for. More to come later this week.

Leaving her elderly father on a basement floor for two days in a soiled adult diaper won’t mean jail for a Calgary woman.
Justice Indra Maharaj accepted a joint Crown and defence submission on Wednesday for a two-year-less-a-day conditional sentence order for Tara Picard to be followed by 12 months of probation.
Prosecutor Donna Spaner and defence counsel Shaun Leochko proposed a community-based term which will include eight months of 24-hour house arrest followed by a nightly curfew for the second eight months.
Maharaj also agreed with the lawyers to order Picard to commit 300 hours of community service over the length of the three-year sentence.
The Calgary Court of Justice noted that amount of community-service hours was “a lot” to commit to.
But Maharaj said it showed Picard, 52, was truly remorseful for her conduct towards her father, whom Postmedia is not identifying because of the embarrassing nature of the facts of the case.
“What that shows me is Ms. Picard does sincerely recognize what has happened here,” the judge said of her willingness to complete community service.
“What I interpret from that is Ms. Picard’s willingness to give back to the community.”
Picard pleaded guilty in January to charges of assault and failing to provide the necessaries of life to her 77-year-old father.
Court heard caregivers found the elderly Calgary man on the basement floor of his daughter’s southeast home wearing a soiled adult diaper.
At the time, Picard was responsible for her father’s day-to-day care after he was moved to her residence, Spaner, reading from a statement of agreed facts, told court at the time.
“He had a number of medical ailments, including non-insulin dependent diabetes, coronary artery disease, some early onset dementia-like symptoms and chronic alcoholism,” Spaner said.
“(He) had been living independently in a Calgary apartment building. Family members became concerned that he was not caring for himself safely.”
With the help of Alberta Health Services he was moved to a home where Picard resided.
A registered nurse assigned to his care attended the 38 Street S.E. home on Nov. 15, 2021, to drop off food bank supplies for him and was told he was sleeping downstairs.
When the nurse called about an hour and a half later and spoke to the man on the phone he said he was lying on the floor, had fallen and was unable to get up.
When she returned to the home with a co-worker she found the victim lying on his back on the floor.
“(He) said that he had been lying on the floor for two days,” Spaner said.
Leochko said Picard was overwhelmed by the situation she was thrust into.
“It really was more than she could handle,” he said.

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
