Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Leaks: Banner Characters and Speculation
New leaks reveal exciting details about the Genshin Impact Version 5.4 event banners, focusing on both 5-star and 4-star character appearances. The update brings players back to Inazuma, featuring a flagship event centered around Inazuman yokai, with prominent roles for Yae Miko and Ei. No new map expansion is expected.
Confirmed 5-Star Characters:
The highly anticipated Version 5.4 banners will feature four 5-star characters:
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: A new 5-star Anemo Catalyst from Inazuma, anticipated to be a standard banner character. Her kit is described as a healing Sucrose, though her initial rotation faced criticism for being passive. However, she has received consistent buffs throughout beta testing.
- Wriothesley: A 5-star Cryo Catalyst.
- Sigewinne: A 5-star Hydro Bow user.
- Furina: A 5-star Hydro Sword user.
Likely 4-Star Characters:
Data mining by HomDCCat suggests the following 4-star characters will accompany the 5-stars:
- Mika: A 4-star Cryo Polearm user, considered a valuable addition due to his synergy with both Furina and Wriothesley.
- Gorou: A 4-star Geo Bow user.
- Sayu: A 4-star Anemo Claymore user.
- Chongyun: A 4-star Cryo Claymore user.
The order of these 4-star characters is unconfirmed. The potential inclusion of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner could influence their distribution across the two banner phases, potentially placing Gorou and Sayu in the phase where the Chronicled Banner isn't featured. Considering past Chronicled Banner appearances in Versions 4.5 and 5.3, either scenario remains possible.
Speculation on Remaining Banner Spots:
Many players hope for Charlotte's return, given her absence from event banners since Version 4.2, including Furina's rerun in Version 4.7. Noelle's synergy with Furina and Gorou makes her a strong contender for a second-half appearance. While other stronger 4-star characters exist, this arrangement would provide much-needed reruns for Sayu, Mika, and Gorou.
In Summary: Version 5.4 promises an exciting Inazuma-focused event and a compelling roster of characters. While some details remain speculative, the leaks offer a compelling preview of what's to come. Confirmation (or denial) of the Inazuma Chronicled Banner will likely occur during the official developer livestream.
