While the majority of players will be focused on the new 5-star characters and signature weapons in Genshin’s 6.3 update, there’s also the new and rerunning Rate Up 4-star weapons to consider. These weapon picks, while not typically as strong as the 5-star ones, can still be incredibly strong for certain builds. Even for the debuting Columbina, some 4-star pulls can perform well when equipped while being a lot easier to grab. Here’s every featured Rate Up 4-star weapon on the current Epitome Invocation weapon banner.
How Long Will the Banner Last?
The weapon banner for update 6.3 starts and ends at the same time as each phase. This way, the signature weapons for Columbina and Ineffa are available to pull. That includes leaving space for the next weapons for the next debuting characters. It’s still possible for signature character weapons to rerun, but only during character reruns too. Considering Ineffa’s rerun, and Columbina’s popularity, you can expect her to rerun soon. To get some more Primogems for pulls, you can find a genshin top up cheap here today!
The first phase of Genshin’s 6.3 update started back on January 13th, and will run until February 3rd, 2026. This date applies to the weapon banner phases too, so you have a week and a half left to pull for what you need. Some of the 4-star Rate Up weapons may stay for the next phase, but not all of them. The 5-stars are guaranteed to change though, so keep that in mind!
The 4-Star Epitome Invocation Rate-Up Weapons
The 4-Star Rate Up weapons on the current Epitome Invocation phase has a featured weapon for every type. This way, you’re guaranteed to pull at least one pull for every character that wields something different. That includes some good choices for Columbina the Catalyst, and Ineffa the Polearm user. Just make sure to read the descriptions to help you determine which weapon fits best for who.

The 4-Star Weapons in Columbina’s Banner
We can now move onto the character banners, the first being Columbina’s. There’s a lot more 4-star weapons to be found here, but they aren’t really featured. Character banners don’t have 5-star weapons since they’re restricted to their weapon banner. While it’s recommended to only pull for weapons there, there’s still some good choices to be found here.

The 4-Star Weapons in Ineffa’s Banner
The last banner has Ineffa’s rerun. All the same 4-star weapons can be found here from Columbina’s banner too. While that takes away some reason to pull here, it’s still useful to know if you missed Ineffa from her debut. That way, you won’t lose out on the majority of 4-star weapons available.
