Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Leaks: Banner Characters and More

Recent leaks from the Genshin Impact Version 5.4 beta reveal exciting details about the upcoming event banners. Five-star characters Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina are expected to headline these banners, accompanied by four-star characters Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun. Version 5.4, following the conclusion of the Natlan Archon Quest in Version 5.3, shifts the focus back to Inazuma, featuring a Flagship Event centered around Inazuman yokai, with prominent roles for Yae Miko and Ei. No new map expansion is anticipated.

The spotlight in Version 5.4 undeniably shines on Yumemizuki Mizuki, a new five-star Anemo Catalyst from Inazuma. Expected to be a Standard Banner character, her signature weapon is highly anticipated. Gameplay-wise, Mizuki is often compared to Sucrose with added healing capabilities. While her initial kit faced criticism for being passive, consistent buffs throughout beta testing have improved her performance.

Thanks to datamining efforts by HomDCCat, we now have a clearer picture of the four-star characters joining the event banners. Wriothesley and Mizuki are predicted for the first half, with Sigewinne and Furina leading the second. The four-star lineup includes Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun. Rumors of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner are circulating, but confirmation (or denial) awaits the official developer livestream.

Genshin Impact: Version 5.4 Banner Characters

• 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

The four-star character order remains unconfirmed. However, the potential inclusion of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner suggests Gorou and Sayu would appear in the phase where the Chronicled Banner isn't active (following the pattern of Versions 4.5 and 5.3). Mika stands out as a particularly valuable addition, offering strong synergy with both Furina and Wriothesley.

Speculation regarding the remaining banner spots points towards a possible Charlotte 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 another strong contender, particularly for the second half. While other stronger four-star characters exist, this lineup provides much-needed reruns for Sayu, Mika, and Gorou.
