Looking for the Genshin Impact Thoma rerun banner date? Thoma released as a new Genshin Impact character as part of the second banner of the 2.2 update way back in November 2021. He was also an NPC in the nation of Inazuma, and was introduced in the 2.0 update as the chief retainer of the Kamisato Clan.

According to Mihoyo, “He’s a rather special character. He has blond hair, different from most other Inazuma characters and his identity is naturally a bit of a mystery of its own. In terms of his personality, he’s very observant of people — a rather mature companion. Thoma is currently the chief retainer of the Kamisato Clan and has a certain level of association with the Kamisato siblings.”

His official title, revealed in a tweet from Genshin Impact, is ‘Kamisato Clan’s Housekeeper’. Thoma is a four-star Pyro polearm user, arriving alongside a rerun of Hu Tao. Here’s everything we know about Thoma’s abilities and when we can next expect to see his banner arrive in Genshin Impact.

Thoma will feature on both banners in the second phase of the Genshin Impact 3.2 update. These next banners are due to go live on November 18, and will feature 5-star characters Yae Miko and Tartaglia, otherwise known as Childe. Thoma will also be joined by fellow 4-star characters Heizou and Layla on both banners.

Genshin Impact Thoma abilities

Thoma’s abilities are now available from Honey Hunter World, although this could change before his release in the 2.2 update.

Normal Attack: Swiftshatter Spear

  • Normal attack: Performs up to four consecutive spear strikes.
  • Charged attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
  • Plunging attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE damage upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Blazing Blessing

Thoma uses the tip of his spear as a pivot to channel flames and perform a kick that deals AoE Pyro damage and unleashes a defensive Blazing Barrier. At the moment it is unleashed, the Barrier grants Thoma a Pyro Infusion. The damage absorption of the Barrier is based on Thoma’s max HP.

Blazing Barrier absorbs Pyro damage 250% more effectively. The remaining damage absorption of an existing Blazing Barrier stacks and its duration refreshes if another Blazing Barrier is obtained during this time. The maximum damage absorption of the Barrier does not exceed a certain percentage of Thoma’s Max HP.

Elemental Burst: Crimson Ooyoroi

Thoma spins his spear, slicing through his foes with roaring fires that deal AoE Pyro damage, weaving themselves into a Scorching Panoply.

Scorching Panoply:
The Normal Attacks of active characters affected by the Scorching Panoply trigger Fiery Collapses that deal AoE Pyro damage and summon Blazing Barriers. One Fiery Collapse can be triggered every second.

The Blazing Barriers created in this way are identical to those created by Thoma’s Elemental Skill, Blazing Blessing, except in the amount of damage they can absorb. They absorb Pyro damage 250% more effectively. The remaining damage absorption of an existing Blazing Barrier stacks and its duration refreshes if another Blazing Barrier is obtained during this time.

The maximum damage absorption of the Barrier does not exceed a certain percentage of Thoma’s Max health. If Thoma falls, the effects of Scorching Panoply dissipates.
