Genshin Impact 6.7 Banner Pull Guide: Should You Choose Citlali, Columbina, or Raiden Shogun?

·Genshin Impact Guides Hub

Version 6.7 may be the final major banner cycle of the Nod-Krai era in Genshin Impact, and that makes it a big moment for players deciding where to spend their Primogems. The latest chatter centers on three major questions: Should you pull Citlali? Is Columbina worth it for Moon-based teams? And does Raiden Shogun still deserve your pulls in 2026?

On top of that, leaked discussions around Fatui Harbinger Sandrone have created even more uncertainty. Current rumor-based theorycrafting suggests Sandrone may be a front-field Hydro-style sustain DPS with strong charged-attack uptime and a unique mechanic tied to an “Overload” resource. If that kit lands anywhere close to current speculation, she could become a major future pull value pick—but for now, much of her strength remains rumored rather than confirmed.

This guide breaks down the most important 6.7 banner decisions in a clear and practical way: who is worth pulling, who is a luxury pick, who should wait for buffs, and which characters best fit your current team goals.

Sandrone: Rumored Main-DPS Value and Why Players Are Waiting

Sandrone is currently one of the most discussed rumored characters for the upcoming patch cycle. Based on community testing talk and leak summaries, her playstyle appears to focus on front-field sustained damage, similar in feel to a long-rotation on-field carry.

What is currently rumored about Sandrone?

According to current community discussion, Sandrone may:

  • function as a sustained on-field DPS,

  • use a charged-attack-focused loop,

  • clear a resource called “Overload” through Elemental Skill,

  • and be tied closely to a new reaction-style team built around Star Superconduct.

This means Sandrone’s value may depend heavily on whether you plan to play the new reaction archetype. If you do, she may be the only character that truly unlocks the team’s full potential.

Why players are hesitant

The main problem is flexibility. Early theorycrafting suggests Sandrone may not yet have a full roster of ideal teammates. If that remains true on release, her power could be much lower outside of a complete team shell.

Should you pull Sandrone now?

At the moment, the safest advice is to wait for actual testing before committing Primogems. If she ends up being tied too tightly to one incomplete team archetype, her value may be lower than it looks on paper.

Raiden Shogun: Is She Still Worth Pulling?

Raiden Shogun remains one of the most iconic characters in Genshin Impact, but current strength discussions suggest she is no longer a top-priority banner for most accounts unless you are a dedicated fan.

Current perception of Raiden Shogun

The consensus from current community talk is that Raiden Shogun has fallen outside the most mainstream team cores. Her biggest remaining advantage is still her long-range Electro application, which remains useful in some niche team setups.

Why some players still want her

  • She is a classic, highly recognizable Archon character

  • She still provides strong Electro utility

  • She remains appealing for players who love the character, regardless of meta

  • She can still fit certain off-meta or legacy team compositions

Why most players are skipping her

For pure pull value, many players feel that Raiden Shogun is no longer a must-pull in the current environment. If you are only looking at strength efficiency, she is now more of a love-pull than a meta-pull.

If Raiden Shogun gets a meaningful buff in the future, her value could rise again. For now, she is best recommended to players who already like her and want her for personal reasons.

Citlali and Columbina: Which One Should You Pull?

The biggest practical banner decision in Version 6.7 may be between Citlali and Columbina. Both are highly important in their respective team archetypes, but they serve different functions.

Citlali: Why she matters

Citlali is a key support for Mavuika Melt teams and other Melt-oriented compositions. She provides noticeable team improvement and helps push these teams closer to their complete final form.

For Mavuika players, this may be one of the last especially strong opportunities to pick up Citlali before the Natlan-style team era starts to feel less dominant in the future.

Should you go for Citlali constellations?

Probably not, unless you are a heavy-investment player.

The current recommendation is:

  • C0 is enough for most players

  • C2 is the most reasonable improvement point if you really want to invest

  • C6 is only for dedicated long-term mains

  • Signature weapon is optional and should be considered carefully

If new regions and new systems arrive soon, future teams may take higher priority than stacking more Citlali copies.

Columbina: Why she matters

Columbina, the Fatui Harbinger known as The Maiden, is also a major core character for Moon-based teams. In any Moon reaction composition, she appears to provide high value and strong team contribution.

What makes Columbina especially attractive is that her base form already gives most of her value. In other words, C0 is the most important version.

Should you invest in Columbina constellations?

Probably not unless you are fully committed to Moon teams.

Current theory suggests that her constellations mostly add mechanics and damage rather than completely changing the character. The real upgrades for Moon teams are usually on the main carries and core supports, not Columbina herself.

Citlali vs Columbina: Who should you choose?

  • If you main Moon reaction teams, pull Columbina

  • For most players, C0 is enough

Mixed Banner Review: Who Is Worth Picking Up?

The mixed banner gives players some extra choices, but not all of them are equally valuable.

Yae Miko

Yae Miko is one of the more interesting options in the mixed pool because she gained a noticeable boost and can now work as a strong Electro off-field option in Star Superconduct-style teams.

Recommendation:
Good if you want to invest in her, but not recommended as a fresh C0 pick unless you already know you want her.

Wriothesley and Cyno

Both characters received improvements, but current discussion suggests their role overlap makes them less attractive if your account already plans to pull Sandrone or another similar carry.

Recommendation:
Skip unless you specifically need them. Do not treat them as essential banner targets.

Qiqi and Mizuki

These are standard 5-star characters, so there is no need to specifically hunt them in a mixed banner.

Recommendation:
Do not spend banner resources just to chase them.

Diona

Diona seems to have seen a more noticeable improvement and may be more relevant for players who want a stronger Cryo support option.

Recommendation:
Worth considering if you need her utility.

Beidou

Beidou’s buffs appear to improve some mechanics and numbers, but her old weakness remains: when you build more Energy Recharge, she can feel short on damage; when you stack more damage, she can feel short on Energy.

Recommendation:
Build her only if she fits your actual account needs.

Should You Pull Sandrone’s Signature Weapon?

Sandrone’s rumored signature weapon is called Key Beyond in current community translations. Since the official English localization is not confirmed yet, treat the name as provisional.

Is it worth pulling?

The current discussion suggests that this weapon is more of a nice-to-have than a must-pull.

Why:

  • The weapon offers a standard damage bonus rather than a highly unique effect

  • Damage bonuses are common and often easy to get from supports later

  • If the team becomes well supported in future versions, this kind of buff may become redundant

  • Some older 5-star weapons already perform very well as alternatives

Good alternative weapons

If you already own strong Crit or ATK weapons, you may not need to pull Sandrone’s signature at all. Examples of older high-value options mentioned by players include:

  • Solar Pearl-style Crit options

  • Beacon-style ATK weapons

  • Redhorn-style Crit weapons

  • Signature claymore alternatives with strong base stats

FAQ

Is Sandrone worth pulling in Genshin Impact 6.7?

Not enough information is confirmed yet. Current rumors suggest she could be strong in a new reaction team, but you should wait for real testing before deciding.

Is Raiden Shogun still worth it?

Only if you are a fan or specifically want her Electro utility. For pure meta value, she is no longer a top-priority pull for most players.

Should I pull Citlali or Columbina?

Pull Citlali if you main Mavuika or Melt teams. Pull Columbina if you focus on Moon reaction teams.

Do I need Citlali constellations?

For most players, C0 is enough. C2 is a reasonable stopping point if you want more investment.

Is Sandrone’s signature weapon worth pulling?

Probably only if you are planning to main her. If you already own strong Crit or ATK 5-star weapons, the signature may not be necessary.

Who should I prioritize if I only have enough Primogems for one character?

Most players should prioritize the character that best fits their current team needs: Citlali for Melt, Columbina for Moon teams, or Raiden only if they love her enough to skip efficiency.
