Genshin Countdown — Version & Banner Timers

Countdown tips
Pull before phase end
Banners swap at phase rollover — pity carries between same-type banners, but the featured character leaves when the phase does.
Maintenance drops primos
Version maintenance typically compensates Primogems on login — don't skip the launch-day claim.
Dates are estimates
Phase dates follow the 42/21-day cadence — HoYoverse confirms exact times in the version livestream ~10 days out.
Countdown ≠ guarantee
Pre-install usually opens ~48h before a version drops — that's the practical "ready" mark, not launch morning.
