The latest beta build for Version 5.4 has provided a glimpse into the upcoming event banners for Genshin Impact, shedding light on which 4-Star characters will join the highly anticipated 5-Star characters Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina. As Version 5.3 concludes the Archon Quest in Natlan, Version 5.4 will bring players back to the enchanting region of Inazuma. While this update won't introduce a new map expansion, its flagship event will focus on the fascinating yokai of Inazuma, prominently featuring Yae Miko and Ei.
The star of Version 5.4 is undoubtedly Yumemizuki Mizuki, a new 5-Star Anemo Catalyst from Inazuma. Expected to become a standard banner character, Mizuki's signature weapon has already sparked significant interest among players. Her ability kit, reminiscent of Sucrose with added healing capabilities, has received consistent buffs throughout the beta testing phase, despite some critiques about her passive rotation.
Thanks to the diligent datamining efforts of HomDCCat, Genshin Impact enthusiasts now have insights into the majority of the 4-Star characters set to appear in the Version 5.4 event banners. The first half of the update will feature Wriothesley and Mizuki, while Sigewinne and Furina will headline the second half. The 4-Star lineup includes Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun. Rumors of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner for this patch have surfaced, though confirmation or debunking may not occur until the developer's livestream.
Note that the order of the 4-Star characters listed is not specified. If an Inazuma Chronicled Banner does indeed feature in Version 5.4, Gorou and Sayu would likely appear in the phase where the Chronicled Banner is not running. Given past patterns, both the first and second halves are potential slots for the Chronicled Banner. Among the 4-Star characters, Mika stands out as particularly valuable, as he synergizes well with both Furina and Wriothesley.
Speculation about the remaining spots on the event banners has led many players to hope for Charlotte's return, who has been absent since her debut in Version 4.2 and even missed Furina's rerun in Version 4.7. Noelle, who complements both Furina and Gorou, is also likely to make an appearance in the second half. While there may be stronger 4-Star options, this update provides a much-needed rerun opportunity for Sayu, Mika, and Gorou.
