Everyone knows Kamisato Ayaka is releasing again today, August 07, 2025, inGenshin Impact, with her first-ever banner rerun, but it seems many players are still confused as to when is the exact time her banner will release on the America server.
Banner releases inGenshin Impact,when they don’t happen straight after maintenance, are all releasing at different times depending on the server you play on. This is why a certain amount of confusion will spread when some players on Twitter already obtained Ayaka, while others will still need to wait.
HoYoverse officially announced Ayaka will release at “18:00 Server Time” on June 28, 2025. TheGenshin ImpactAmerica server’s time is one hour behind from Eastern Time.
Kamisato Ayaka will Release at 7 PM ET on the Genshin Impact America Server
If you’re on Pacific Time,that’s 4 PM PT. Lastly, if you play on the America server, but live somewhere else in the world, we’ve got several time conversions for youhere, which also works as a countdown.
If you play on the Europe server, Ayaka will be available at 1 PM ET.
Lastly, Ayaka will already be available on the Asia server starting 6 AM ET. This is why you’ll be seeing many Ayaka havers on social media who’ll flaunt their Ayakas around and make you jelly. They play on the Asia server just as many other English speaking players.
Overall, players in the America server need to wait the longest amount of time for Ayaka to release
Should you Pull Ayaka or Wait for Yelan?
Ayaka is by far one of the best (Cryo) DPS in the game thanks to her Charged Attack which can hit multiple enemies several times each.
You should definitely pull her if you need a Cryo character, or if you just like her. I’ll never say it enough but the best way to decide whether to pull or not in a gacha is whether you want to marry the character or not. Don’t look at tier lists (Genshin Impact’s make no sense anyway if your character doesn’t have the right Artifacts substats) and instead ask yourself if you like Ayaka’s character design, personality and voice by Saori Hayami and Erica Mendez. Lastly, rememberGenshinis just a game, don’t try to be a whale if you can’t afford it, especially as in my opinion Ayaka’s C1 or C2 both don’t seem particularly worthwhile.
