Dialyn brings martial artist-inspired combat animations with her chakram weapons, while Banyue debuts as a Fire Rupture specialist. Plan your pulls accordingly with our complete banner schedule guide.
Story Continuation The Krampus Compliance Authority storyline expands as Judge Dialyn investigates Yunkui Summit. Expect compelling narrative developments following the events of version 2.3.
Limited-Time Events Fresh events, commissions, and gameplay modes arrive with 2.4, offering valuable rewards including Polychrome, materials, and exclusive collectibles.
Maintenance Compensation & Pre-Download
HoYoverse compensates players for the inconvenience with free Polychrome. Players who reached Inter-Knot Level 4 or higher before maintenance receive 300 Polychrome (60 per hour of downtime). If maintenance extends beyond five hours or critical bugs are fixed, expect additional compensation.
Pro Tip: Pre-download is typically available 1-2 days before maintenance. Installing update files early lets you jump into action immediately when servers return online, giving you a competitive edge for time-sensitive events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I lose progress during maintenance?
No, all your progress is automatically saved. However, if you’re mid-mission when maintenance begins, you’ll be disconnected and need to restart that content when servers return. Complete important activities 30 minutes before scheduled downtime to avoid interruptions.
Q: Can I still claim version 2.3 rewards after maintenance?
Limited-time events and rewards from version 2.3 typically expire when 2.4 launches. Check your mailbox and event tabs before maintenance to claim any pending rewards, especially Polychrome from previous updates. Time-limited items disappear permanently once the patch changes.
