Genshin 7.0 Weapon Banner: Bloodsoaked Ruins vs Fractured Halo
By Sir Ayup 31 August 2026, 20:00 WIB
Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Phase II puts Bloodsoaked Ruins and Fractured Halo on the same Epitome Invocation from September 1 at 18:00 through September 22 at 14:59 server time. Both are 5-star polearms connected to Lunar-Charged teams, but they solve different problems: Bloodsoaked Ruins focuses heavily on the wielder's personal Lunar-Charged damage and Energy economy, while Fractured Halo can provide a party-wide Lunar-Charged damage bonus when its shield condition is met.
That makes this weapon banner less about asking which polearm is universally stronger and more about deciding which character and team you are actually trying to improve.
Version 7.0 Phase II weapon banner dates
The Epitome Invocation runs:
September 1, 18:00 – September 22, 14:59 server time.
Because Genshin uses regional server times, the exact local opening moment differs by server.
For Asia server players, 18:00 server time corresponds to 17:00 WIB.
The featured 5-star weapons are:
- Bloodsoaked Ruins — Polearm
- Fractured Halo — Polearm
Featured 4-star weapons:
- The Flute
- Favonius Greatsword
- Favonius Lance
- Eye of Perception
- The Stringless
Bloodsoaked Ruins: what it actually does
Bloodsoaked Ruins is built around Lunar-Charged personal damage.
At Refinement 1, after the wielder uses an Elemental Burst:
- Lunar-Charged DMG dealt to opponents increases by 36% for 3.5 seconds
After triggering a Lunar-Charged reaction, the wielder gains Requiem of Ruin:
- CRIT DMG increases by 28% for 6 seconds
- restores 12 Elemental Energy
- Energy can be restored this way once every 14 seconds
The passive tells you immediately what kind of character gets the most value:
a polearm user who personally triggers Lunar-Charged and cares about Burst cycling.
That is why it maps so naturally onto Flins.
Why Bloodsoaked Ruins fits Flins
Flins is built around Lunar-Charged damage and places significant value on his Burst rotation.
Bloodsoaked Ruins supports both parts of that design.
The short post-Burst Lunar-Charged boost concentrates extra damage into the period where his rotation is already active.
The CRIT DMG buff improves personal output.
The Energy restoration reduces some pressure on Energy Recharge and team battery requirements.
So the weapon is doing three jobs:
- reaction damage amplification
- critical damage amplification
- Energy support
For an account primarily investing in Flins as the on-field Lunar-Charged carry, this is the cleaner personal-upgrade case.
GameMarket's existing Flins coverage provides more background on his role.
How transferable is Bloodsoaked Ruins?
This is where the decision becomes more complicated.
Its passive strongly prefers a character who can:
- use a polearm
- trigger Lunar-Charged
- benefit from Lunar-Charged DMG
- care about Burst-driven windows
A generic polearm DPS can still use its base stats, but a character outside Lunar-Charged cannot activate the full reason the weapon exists.
That makes Bloodsoaked Ruins more specialised than a general CRIT stat stick.
If you expect Flins to remain a core part of your roster, that specialisation is not necessarily a weakness.
If you want a 5-star polearm that you frequently move between unrelated teams, it matters much more.
Fractured Halo: what it actually does
Fractured Halo takes a different approach.
At Refinement 1:
- after using an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, ATK increases by 24% for 20 seconds
- if the wielder creates a Shield during that period, they gain Electrifying Edict for 20 seconds
- while Electrifying Edict is active, all nearby party members deal 40% more Lunar-Charged DMG
The teamwide portion is the important difference.
Bloodsoaked Ruins primarily asks:
How much stronger does this make my carry?
Fractured Halo asks:
Can this wielder activate the shield condition, and how much does that improve the whole Lunar-Charged team?
Why Fractured Halo fits Ineffa
Ineffa's kit naturally creates the condition Fractured Halo wants.
She uses her Skill/Burst, gains the ATK increase, then her shield generation enables the teamwide 40% Lunar-Charged DMG bonus.
That allows the weapon to increase more than her own personal damage.
In a team centered around Flins + Ineffa or another dedicated Lunar-Charged core, that can make Fractured Halo strategically valuable even when Ineffa is not the main damage dealer.
This is why simply comparing the two weapons by one character's sheet damage misses the point.
They improve different layers of the team.
Bloodsoaked Ruins vs Fractured Halo at a glance
Bloodsoaked Ruins
Best fit when:
- Flins is the main investment
- you want maximum personal Lunar-Charged output
- Burst Energy is an important concern
- you want CRIT-focused carry stats
Main limitation:
- much of the passive is tied directly to Lunar-Charged personal damage
Fractured Halo
Best fit when:
- Ineffa is part of a Lunar-Charged core
- she can reliably create her Shield
- teamwide reaction amplification matters
- you value improving several damage contributors rather than only one
Main limitation:
- the signature team buff depends on fulfilling the Shield condition
- characters outside that interaction cannot use the passive as naturally
If you own Flins but not Ineffa
Bloodsoaked Ruins has the clearer case.
Its passive directly supports Flins' own damage and Energy cycle without depending on another character to convert its value into team buffs.
Fractured Halo can still provide strong base stats, but the weapon's main team utility is much more naturally tied to Ineffa.
For a Flins-only account, there is less ambiguity.
If you own Ineffa but not Flins
Fractured Halo becomes more interesting because it supports Ineffa's own stats while also strengthening other Lunar-Charged teammates.
The important question becomes whether your current team actually benefits enough from the reaction bonus.
If Ineffa is being used in a roster where Lunar-Charged is not the main source of team output, a large part of the weapon's value becomes less relevant.
So even with the intended wielder, team context matters.
If you own Flins and Ineffa
This is where the banner becomes genuinely difficult.
Both weapons can improve the same team, but from opposite directions.
Bloodsoaked Ruins
- improves Flins more directly
- improves his Burst-related damage window
- supports his Energy economy
Fractured Halo
- improves Ineffa
- activates a teamwide Lunar-Charged damage bonus
- can increase the reaction output of multiple party members
There is no universal answer without knowing:
- what weapons Flins and Ineffa currently use
- how large the alternative-weapon gap is for each
- how much of the team's total damage belongs to Flins
- whether the rest of the party meaningfully contributes Lunar-Charged damage
That is exactly why an account-fit approach works better than a generic ranking.
Check your alternatives before choosing a course
Signature weapons are most valuable when the intended character has weak substitutes.
If your Flins already has a strong 5-star or refined alternative, upgrading to Bloodsoaked Ruins may produce less total account value than improving an Ineffa who currently has a weaker option.
The reverse can also be true.
Do not ask only:
Which signature weapon is stronger?
Ask:
Which character is losing more performance from their current weapon?
That usually gives the more useful answer.
GameMarket's Flins vs Ineffa account-fit article provides broader context on the two characters, although its original banner discussion was written before the final Phase II confirmation.
How good is the 4-star weapon lineup?
The 4-star pool contains:
- The Flute
- Favonius Greatsword
- Favonius Lance
- Eye of Perception
- The Stringless
The standout utility option for many accounts is Favonius Lance, particularly because Energy-support polearms remain useful across a wide range of support characters.
The Stringless can also remain relevant for Bow characters whose Skill/Burst damage or Elemental Mastery scaling fits its profile.
The rest of the pool is more account-dependent.
That means the banner should primarily be evaluated around the two 5-stars rather than assuming the 4-star lineup alone justifies wishes.
Remember Epitomized Path
Players can use Epitomized Path during this weapon Event Wish to chart a course toward either Bloodsoaked Ruins or Fractured Halo.
Before wishing, open the current in-game Details screen and confirm:
- your selected course
- current Fate Point rules
- how the current Version 7.0 implementation handles guarantee progress
Those are mechanical details worth checking directly from the live client rather than relying on an older weapon-banner guide.
Which weapon fits your account?
Flins is your main carry and you want to maximize him
Bloodsoaked Ruins has the cleaner fit.
Its entire passive is aligned with his personal Lunar-Charged damage and Burst cycle.
Ineffa is central to your Lunar-Charged teams
Fractured Halo has the stronger support-oriented case.
The party-wide reaction bonus can improve more than the wielder.
You own both
Compare their current alternatives.
The character with the larger weapon gap may be the better place to invest.
You own neither
Neither weapon has a strong reason to be targeted solely as a general-purpose polearm.
Both are specialised enough that future usability should be part of the decision.
Final comparison
Bloodsoaked Ruins and Fractured Halo appear on the same banner because they belong to the same broader Lunar-Charged ecosystem.
They are not doing the same job.
Bloodsoaked Ruins is the personal carry weapon.
It improves Lunar-Charged output, CRIT DMG and Energy recovery for the wielder.
Fractured Halo is the team-oriented weapon.
It improves its wielder, then rewards Shield creation with a substantial Lunar-Charged bonus for nearby party members.
For a Flins-focused account, Bloodsoaked Ruins has the more direct upgrade case.
For an Ineffa-supported Lunar-Charged core, Fractured Halo can create value across the team.
And for an account that already owns strong alternatives, the best decision may simply be keeping the current weapons and using wishes elsewhere.
