Travelers have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Zibai, the newest 5-star Geo character to join the roster. HoYoverse officially confirmed her debut during the Luna IV special program. She will headline the Phase II character banners, bringing a fresh playstyle and a powerful new weapon to the game.
To help you prepare your Primogems, we have compiled the exact release dates and times for her banner across all major regions.
Zibai Banner Release Schedule
Zibai will release on February 3, 2026. As a Phase II character, her banner does not go live immediately after the version maintenance. Instead, it unlocks at a specific time based on your server location.
The banner will be available in-game from February 3 until February 24, 2026.
Release Times by Server:
- Asia Server: February 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM (UTC+8)
- Europe Server: February 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM (UTC+1)
- America Server: February 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM (UTC-5)
Countdown to Zibai
Because Phase II banners rely on local server time, players on the Asia server will be the first to access Zibai. Travelers in Europe will gain access several hours later, followed finally by those on the North American servers.
If you are playing on the America server, remember that the “Server Time” corresponds to UTC-5. This often causes confusion, so be sure to check your in-game clock or convert 6:00 PM UTC-5 to your local time zone to know exactly when the banner drops.
Weapon Banner: Lightbearing Moonshard
Alongside Zibai, the Epitome Invocation weapon banner will feature her signature 5-star sword, the Lightbearing Moonshard.
While HoYoverse revealed the weapon’s name and design during the livestream, they have kept the specific passive abilities and sub-stats a mystery. Players will likely need to wait for the official social media breakdown or the in-game archive update to see exactly how this sword benefits Zibai and other Geo users.
Prepare your wishes and mark your calendars for February 3. The addition of Zibai to the Luna IV update promises to shake up the Geo meta significantly.
