Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Event Banner Leaks: New Characters and Reruns
Recent leaks from the Genshin Impact Version 5.4 beta reveal exciting details about the upcoming event banners. Four 5-star characters are anticipated: the highly anticipated Yumemizuki Mizuki (Anemo Catalyst), Wriothesley (Cryo Catalyst), Sigewinne (Hydro Bow), and Furina (Hydro Sword).
Joining them will be a selection of 4-star characters: Mika (Cryo Polearm), Gorou (Geo Bow), Sayu (Anemo Claymore), and Chongyun (Cryo Claymore). The leaked lineup suggests a focus on Inazuma characters, aligning with the version's theme centered around Inazuman yokai and featuring prominent roles for Yae Miko and Ei. The absence of a new map expansion is noted.
Mizuki, a new Inazuma character, is expected to be a standard banner character, making her signature weapon a sought-after item. Her gameplay is described as similar to Sucrose but with healing capabilities, although her initial kit has undergone revisions during beta testing.
Data mining by HomDCCat has provided a comprehensive list of the 4-star characters. The first half of Version 5.4 is predicted to feature Wriothesley and Mizuki, while the second half will showcase Sigewinne and Furina.
Confirmed and Predicted Banner Characters:
5-Star:
- Mizuki (Anemo Catalyst)
- Wriothesley (Cryo Catalyst)
- Sigewinne (Hydro Bow)
- Furina (Hydro Sword)
4-Star:
- Mika (Cryo Polearm)
- Gorou (Geo Bow)
- Sayu (Anemo Claymore)
- Chongyun (Cryo Claymore)
The order of the 4-star characters remains unconfirmed. The possibility of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner influences speculation. If such a banner is included, Gorou and Sayu's appearance would depend on which banner phase the Chronicled Banner occupies. Mika is considered the most valuable addition due to his synergy with both Furina and Wriothesley.
Further speculation points towards potential additions to fill the remaining 4-star slots. Charlotte, absent from event banners since Version 4.2, is a popular prediction. Noelle's synergy with Furina and Gorou also makes her a strong contender. These additions would provide much-needed reruns for Sayu, Mika, and Gorou. While stronger 4-star options exist, these choices offer a balanced and appealing selection for players. The final confirmation will likely come from the official developer livestream.
