Genshin Impact’s Next Banner Bonanza: Who’s Dropping In?
Hey, Traveler! Want to know about the next Genshin Impact banner? You’re in the right spot. Skip the Reddit searches and Discord chats. We have the scoop on who’s strong, who’s weak, and how fast your Primogems will vanish.
Let’s cut to the point. You seek details, not flowery descriptions of Teyvat’s scenery. Although it is pretty nice, I must concede.
Banner Blitz: Upcoming Character Showcases
Thanks to Mihoyo’s drip marketing, we can peek at the future. Get ready! Version 5.5 Phase 1 looks exciting, really.
Leaks suggest Varesa and Iansan are coming next. Varesa is a new 5-Star Elektro catalyst user and set to impress. Following her is Iansan, a 4-Star Elektro polearm wielder. Will she poke at your enemies? We shall see.
Let’s remember what’s revealed. Genshin Impact Version 5.4 brings us Yumemizuki Mizuki and Sigewinne in Phase 1, followed by Furina and Wriothesley in Phase 2. It’s a real Fontaine celebration!
Looking back, Version 4.7 saw Clorinde and Alhaitham first, then Sigewinne and Furina. Furina is popular these days, it seems.
Character Deep Dive: Who Are These Mystery Guests?
Let’s peek at a few upcoming characters. Here are some intriguing details:
- Varesa: 5-Star Electro Catalyst. Expect flashy elemental reactions and great DPS potential with her.
- Iansan: 4-Star Electro Polearm. Interesting combo we haven’t had. Might be support or DPS.
- Ororon: A 4-Star Electro bow user. Always keen for more Electro variety and unique gameplay.
- Mavuika: Rumored as the current Pyro Archon. Archons often rank high, so save those Primogems.
- New 5-Star Pyro Claymore user: Teyvat loves chaos with fire and claymores. Expect destruction.
- Citlali: A new 5-Star Cryo Catalyst. Always rare, Cryo catalysts stand out.
- Chasca: An Anemo character that can fly for 10 seconds! There might be a new flyer in town.
Banner Flashback: Recent Hits and Misses
To catch banner trends, let’s reflect on recent banners. In Genshin Impact 4.6 Phase 2, Wanderer and Baizhu led with Faruzan, Beidou, and Layla as solid options.
Genshin Impact 3.7 had Yoimiya and Yae Miko in Phase 1, with Kirara appearing in both banners. That’s good synergy!
Version 3.4 introduced Alhaitham and Yaoyao, with Alhaitham sharing phase 1 with Xiao. In Version 3.3, Wanderer (Scaramouche) appeared alongside Faruzan while running with Arataki Itto’s banner.
Banner Blueprint: How They Work
If you need a refresher, Genshin Impact banners follow patterns. Understanding these can save your Primogems.
Banners usually last about 42 days or six weeks. They sync with version updates. You get time to consider rolling.
The pity system is there for you. Don’t fret about your bad luck; pity carries over. Bad pulls contribute to the next 5-star.
Then there’s the “Chronicled Wish.” It’s a new banner type letting you wish for certain rerun characters and weapons. Genshin is making changes!
Character Close-Up: Furina, Raiden, and More
Let’s focus on characters popping up in banners often.
Chasca: The Breezy Newcomer
- Chasca is an Anemo character.
- The 10-second flight ability is a fun gimmick for exploration, maybe?
Furina: Fontaine’s Finest (Maybe)
- The buzz is strong: Furina is top-tier. “One of the best,” many say. That’s impressive.
Raiden Shogun: Electro Empress
- Is Raiden Shogun strong? Yes. She excels as a sub-DPS and a battery in team comps.
Mizuki: The Standard Banner Hopeful?
- Mizuki might join the standard banner eventually. One side gives free Mizuki! The other means possible lower odds and losses.
