Summary
The latest beta build for Version 5.4 has updated the Event Banners for the upcoming patch inGenshin Impact, revealing more information on which 4-Star characters will join Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina. With Version 5.3 closing out the Archon Quest in Natlan, Version 5.4 will takeGenshin Impactplayers back to Inazuma. While it won’t feature a new map expansion, its Flagship Event will revolve around the yokai of Inazuma, and will place Yae Miko and Ei in a prominent role.
Arguably, the star of Version 5.4 is Yumemizuki Mizuki, a new 5-Star Anemo Catalyst from Inazuma.Mizuki inGenshin Impactis expected to be a Standard Banner character, and as such, her Signature Weapon is bound to draw interest. In terms of her ability kit, Mizuki can best be described as a Sucrose that can heal. While her rotation has been critiqued for being too passive, Mizuki has continued to receive consistent buffs over the course of beta testing.
Thanks toHomDCCat’s datamining efforts,Genshin Impactplayers can now learn about the majority of 4-Star characters that will be joining the Event Banners in Version 5.4. In terms of 5-Stars, Wriothesley and Mizuki are expected to feature in the first half of Version 5.4, while the second half will be headlined by Sigewinne and Furina. On the other hand, the 4-Star characters of Version 5.4 are expected to be Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun. There is a rumor of an InazumaChronicled Banner coming toGenshin Impactin the upcoming patch, but it likely won’t be confirmed (or debunked) until the developer livestream.
Sayu– 4-Star Anemo Claymore
Chongyun– 4-Star Cryo Claymore
It should be noted that the 4-Star characters on the list aren’t ordered. However, assuming Version 5.4 does indeed feature an Inazuma Chronicled Banner, then Gorou and Sayu would have to appear in whatever phase the Chronicled Banner isn’t running in. Given that Version 4.5 featured the Chronicled Banner in the first half, while Version 5.3 will feature it in the second half, both options are a possibility. That being said, Mika is likely the most valuable character in the lineup, as he synergizes well with both Furina andWriothesley inGenshin Impact.
In terms of speculating about the final two spots on the Event Banners in Version 5.4, manyGenshin Impactplayers have clamored for Charlotte to make her comeback. Notably, she has been absent from the Event Banners since her debut in Version 4.2, and even skipped Furina’s rerun in Version 4.7. Since Noelle synergizes well with both Furina and Gorou, it is likely that the Maid of Favonius will make an appearance in the second half. While there are certainlystronger 4-Star characters inGenshin Impact, it does give Sayu, Mika, and Gorou a much-needed rerun on the Event Banners.
