- A new Genshin Impact leak reveals event banner details for Version 5.4
- Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina are the 5-Star characters expected to feature in the Version 5.4 banner for Genshin Impact.
- 4-Star characters Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun will likely be featured in upcoming event banners.
The latest beta build for Version 5.4 of Genshin Impact has unveiled exciting details about the upcoming event banners. The new patch will spotlight four 5-Star characters: Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina. Additionally, four 4-Star characters, including Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun, are expected to join the event banners, adding more variety and excitement for players.
With Version 5.3 concluding the Archon Quest in Natlan, Version 5.4 will shift the focus back to Inazuma. Although it won't feature a new map expansion, the flagship event will revolve around the yokai of Inazuma, prominently featuring Yae Miko and Ei. This thematic shift promises to bring fresh and engaging content to the game.
The star attraction of Version 5.4 is Yumemizuki Mizuki, a new 5-Star Anemo Catalyst character from Inazuma. As a standard banner character, Mizuki's signature weapon is highly anticipated. Her ability kit, which combines healing with Sucrose-like abilities, has received consistent buffs during beta testing, despite some critiques about her passive rotation.
Thanks to the diligent datamining efforts of HomDCCat, players now have a clearer picture of the 4-Star characters joining the event banners. Wriothesley and Mizuki are slated to appear in the first half of Version 5.4, while Sigewinne and Furina will headline the second half. The 4-Star lineup includes Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun.
Rumors are circulating about an Inazuma Chronicled Banner coming to Genshin Impact in the upcoming patch, though confirmation may not come until the developer's livestream. If this banner does appear, Gorou and Sayu would likely feature in the phase not occupied by the Chronicled Banner. Given the pattern of previous versions, either timing is possible.
Here's a detailed breakdown of the banner characters for Version 5.4:
Genshin Impact: Banner Characters in Version 5.4
- Mizuki – 5-Star Anemo Catalyst
- Wriothesley – 5-Star Cryo Catalyst
- Sigewinne – 5-Star Hydro Bow
- Furina – 5-Star Hydro Sword
- Mika – 4-Star Cryo Polearm
- Gorou – 4-Star Geo Bow
- Sayu – 4-Star Anemo Claymore
- Chongyun – 4-Star Cryo Claymore
Note that the 4-Star characters are not listed in order of appearance. If an Inazuma Chronicled Banner is introduced, Gorou and Sayu would appear in the phase not featuring the Chronicled Banner. Mika stands out as a particularly valuable addition to the lineup due to his synergy with both Furina and Wriothesley.
Speculation about the final two spots on the event banners has led many players to hope for Charlotte's return. Absent since her debut in Version 4.2 and missing from Furina's rerun in Version 4.7, her comeback is eagerly anticipated. Noelle, who synergizes well with both Furina and Gorou, is also likely to appear in the second half. While there may be stronger 4-Star characters available, the inclusion of Sayu, Mika, and Gorou offers a much-needed rerun opportunity on the event banners.
