Flins vs Ineffa: Genshin 7.0 Phase 2 Malaysia Time
Published: 2026-09-05
Phase 2 of Genshin Impact 7.0 is live in Malaysia right now, and the clock is loud enough that KL players are already screenshotting their pity counters. Flins and Ineffa share the double-banner slot from 1 September 2026 at 18:00 MYT through 22 September 2026 at 14:59 MYT. Boleh tahan, that is 3 weeks minus a lunch break. If you plan to pull, top up your Genesis Crystals through REDX Game before the 22 Sept 14:59 hard cut, because Version 7.1 begins the same afternoon at 15:00 MYT with a Special Program teasing new Fontaine-adjacent 5-stars, and the current wishes vanish the instant maintenance closes the client.
Genshin 7.0 Phase 2 in Malaysia: what changes at 22 September 14:59 MYT
Flins headlines The Lone Light Knocks at Night. Ineffa returns on Astral Actuation. Both event wishes share the same trio of 4-star rate-ups (Aino, Iansan, and Lan Yan), which means a Petaling Jaya player chasing a Flins constellation still gets a real shot at Iansan copies as consolation for lost 5-star pulls. HoYoverse has not yet confirmed the 7.1 Special Program stream time officially, but past cadence points to a Friday 20 Sept livestream at roughly 19:00 MYT, three days before the patch drops.
Two Malaysian details worth remembering before you commit ringgit to the banner. Genshin's server region is Asia, so the countdown timer inside the wish screen already reflects your local Petaling Jaya clock, meaning no time-zone maths is needed for a Malaysian buyer. Star Rail Passport top-ups do not carry across; Genesis Crystals belong to Genshin only. Any leftover crystals sitting in your account on 23 Sept still spend fine on future banners such as Version 7.1 Phase 1, so a spare RM 24.90 pack is not "wasted" if you miss the cut.
Flins vs Ineffa: which banner deserves your Malaysian primogem stack
Both 5-stars are polearm users. Both plug into the same Lunar-Charged system HoYoverse expanded during 6.x. Ineffa is the sub-DPS specialist: her Elemental Skill drops a shield and summons Birgitta to keep Electro applied on-field, and her burst layers Elemental Mastery on the whole party. Flins is the on-field carry. She enters Manifest Flame form after her skill, then converts her attacks into the reaction driver. Selangor content creators have been running Flins with Ineffa, Furina, and Bennett; the double-featured pairing lets a single top-up buy into both slots of that team.
Already own Flins from her 6.0 debut and just want constellations? Astral Actuation is the stronger stop. Wish there first: pity carries across event wishes, so a lost 50/50 on Ineffa still charges you toward a guaranteed 5-star that you can spend on Flins if a rerun window reopens. Cara paling selamat if you are new to both: hard-commit to the character whose team you already own supports for.
Genesis Crystal math: real MYR for a Phase 2 pull plan
Each wish costs 160 Primogems, which is 160 Genesis Crystals converted 1:1 on the character banner. Soft pity begins climbing from wish 74, and hard pity guarantees a 5-star at wish 90 on the event wish. In practice most 5-stars land between wish 75 and 82, with a 50/50 on whether the drop is the featured character or a standard-banner 5-star. If you lose the 50/50, the next 5-star is guaranteed to be the rate-up featured character, which is why pity carryover across Ineffa and Flins matters so much for a Malaysian buyer with a fixed ringgit budget.
Here is a clean ringgit table for a Malaysian who wants both a soft-pity attempt (roughly 80 wishes = 12,800 Genesis Crystals) and a hard-pity ceiling (90 wishes = 14,400 Genesis Crystals). Apple's App Store MY currently lists the top-tier 6,480 + 1,600 first-time pack around RM 465, and Sony's PS Store tier lands close to the same shelf. The REDX ringgit rail typically trims that top pack by ~RM 55, which means a full hard-pity attempt costs roughly RM 42–60 less on the local rail than the Apple route — enough for a Boost dinner in Shah Alam and change for teh ais. On the 980 GC tier the ringgit gap is smaller (perhaps RM 58 vs RM 64.90 Apple), but the savings compound across multiple top-ups during a 3-week banner. Murah giler for players stacking two or three refills before the 22 Sept cutoff.
Original micro-lesson for KL Whales: if you are already at wish 55 on the character wish (a very common starting point after a 7.0 Phase 1 miss), you need only 12,000–13,000 more Genesis Crystals to hit soft pity. That is one 6,480 + 1,600 first-time pack plus a 3,280 pack. The single-pack "hero purchase" saves ringgit versus splitting your top-up into three 980 orders, because tier-by-tier bonus crystals scale up on the big pack.

Frequently asked questions from Malaysian Travelers
What time does Genshin Impact 7.0 Phase 2 end in Malaysia?
Phase 2 ends on 22 September 2026 at 14:59 MYT, and server maintenance for Version 7.1 begins immediately after — Flins and Ineffa banners disappear the moment the client goes down for the update patch.
Berapa harga 1 wish di Malaysia melalui REDX?
One wish is 160 Genesis Crystals. Using the 3,280 GC tier as the benchmark, the REDX Game price lands at around RM 205, which works out to roughly RM 10 per wish. Apple's App Store MY runs closer to RM 11.20 per wish on the same tier.
Which pull first, Flins or Ineffa?
Wish on the character whose team you already own supports for. If you have Furina, Bennett, and Xilonen, Flins is the immediate carry. Alhaitham or Nahida owners should wish Ineffa first because her Lunar-Charged reaction slots straight in.
Adakah Star Rail Genesis Crystal boleh top up untuk Genshin Impact?
Tidak boleh. Genshin's Genesis Crystals are separate from Star Rail's Stellar Jade and Zenless Zone Zero's Polychrome. Buy the correct game currency on the brand page you need, not a sibling HoYoverse title.
What happens to leftover Genesis Crystals after 22 September?
Any Crystals in your account carry over to Version 7.1. Only the two Phase 2 event wishes and their bonus 4-star rate-ups reset. Unspent Crystals, Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and pity counters all persist.
Is the REDX Game top-up safe for Genshin in Malaysia?
Yes for Malaysian buyers going through the official site. Only buy through the official Genshin brand page, use MY payment rails you already trust, and never share your HoYoverse account password with any seller. The order form only needs your Genshin UID.
Warning signs before 22 September 14:59 MYT
Three risks worth flagging for Johor Bahru, Ipoh, and Penang players. First, HoYoverse frequently pushes an extra Version 7.0 farewell Primogem gift 24 hours before maintenance. Check your in-game mail on 21 Sept and claim it before the reset, because unclaimed mail on version boundaries occasionally lapses. Second, avoid any "diskaun 50%" WhatsApp seller offering Genesis Crystals for a fraction of retail. Refunded top-ups get clawed back and your account faces a ban. The ringgit rail already saves real MYR without touching grey-market risk. Third, do not chase constellations on a losing pity streak past wish 70 without the crystals in hand. Pull count does not refund if the game update boots you mid-session.
Kesimpulan singkat: Selangor Red Giants players from the MPL side of the aisle log into Genshin between practice blocks, and Team SMG staff run Genshin on their off-days too, so Malaysia's competitive scene knows this game as an evening decompression rather than a bank-account trap. Boleh tahan the discipline: pity floor first, top up the smallest pack that clears it, and treat every Genesis Crystal as ringgit you already spent. Senang gila to overshoot when the countdown feels loud. As Wikipedia's Genshin Impact entry notes, the game is "an open-world action role-playing game" (built around exploration, elemental combat, and a diverse roster). The fun is playing, not chasing your own wallet. REDX Game keeps the ringgit side honest, and the 14:59 MYT deadline on 22 Sept keeps the timing side honest — plan both together.
