Genshin Impact 2.8 update<\/a>, Summer Fantasia, will feature a brand new weapon that will play a pivotal role throughout the update’s story questline.

Despite no new artifacts and balance changes included in the update, there are still reasons to be excited as Travelers stand a chance to acquire a practical weapon from events and banners. In this guide, we’ll look at the weapons to be featured and all the relevant details regarding them in the Genshin Impact 2.8 update.<\/p>\n
