NEW UPDATE! 5.2-5.6 CHARACTER BANNER ROADMAP! CHRONICLED WISH, MAUVIKA & RERUNS - Genshin Impact

Exciting changes are coming in the upcoming banners from version 5.2 to 5.6, offering new characters for players to consider pulling for. This update provides a roadmap that helps travelers plan and save their primogems ahead of time for their favorite characters.

Version 5.2 introduces two new characters: Chasa and Aro Ron. Chasa is an Eno fstar bow character who can switch her elemental attacks to cryo, electro, pyro, or hydro, enhancing damage through swirling reactions despite having low base damage herself. Her unique ability allows her to fly using a large cannon-like weapon while benefiting from buffs to all four elemental reactions—superconduct, shatter, electrocharged, and overload—which significantly boosts her overall effectiveness in combat. Aro Ron joins as another four-star tall electr bow user.

Rerun characters in version 5.2 are expected to shift focus, with Rerun becoming a main DPS instead of support. In the first phase, Chasa and Oro Ron will appear as four-star characters alongside Linny as a rerun candidate. The second phase is anticipated to feature Nalet and Jungi, while Wanderer's appearance remains uncertain due to recent updates about the flagship event taking place in Natan rather than featuring him prominently.

In version 5.2 of Archon Quest, players can look forward to an unexpected Aran quest despite earlier statements from developers suggesting otherwise. This addition aligns with the extensive content planned for this patch. However, a downside is that players will not receive the bonus reward of 500 primogems associated with completing the Aran quest in this update; such rewards are limited to specific versions only.

Patch 5.3 introduces two new five-star characters, Mika and Seali. Their unique abilities and roles will enhance gameplay dynamics significantly.

Mika is a versatile character, functioning as both support and main DPS. Her Elemental skill has two modes: tapping summons an off-field pyro cannon for damage, while holding it grants her pyro infusion for direct attacks. Her burst provides consistent off-field damage and buffs the team with interruption resistance and basic attribute boosts. Exploration abilities include transforming her weapon into a motorcycle that becomes a glider in air, allowing unique movement like running on water or performing hook shots. Mika's constellations suggest she will excel as sub-DPS at C2 and C4 while enhancing synergy with other characters.

Citlali is poised to be a formidable pyro character with an impressive skill set. SE L, on the other hand, will be introduced as a cryo Catalyst character capable of providing shields and dealing off-field damage similar to G and Leila. There are indications that Hoovers may test her in combination with Mika and the Traveler for team dynamics. Although earlier leaks suggested SE L might appear on the standard banner like Dehya, current testing scenarios imply she could have a different release strategy.

In patch 5.3, Rerun will primarily support Mika, with Malvika confirmed for phase one. The potential reruns include either Sha Yun or Arino; however, the preference leans towards Arino due to past patterns of Hoyoverse releasing strong characters consecutively. This trend complicates player decisions on which character to pull for since top-tier options often overlap in availability. For phase two, SE L is anticipated next along with Child Cocoa Fish or Shen.

The Chronicle Wish Banner is set to return in version 5.3, surprising many who doubted the feasibility of such a packed update. Initially thought to be included in 5.2 due to its extensive content, it now appears more fitting for the later patch. Reliable sources indicate that this iteration will focus on characters from Liyue.

Version 5.4 introduces Madam Ping, also known as Street Word Rambler, as a new playable character. Initially rumored to be a five-star Hydro user, there are suggestions she may actually be an Anemo user with gameplay mechanics focused on plunging attacks similar to another character named Shia.

In version 5.4, speculation surrounds the rear run candidates for Madame Ping, with Yellen and Milani as potential options. Sources hint at Yellen's return alongside a new skin in upcoming patches. Riot Lee is also mentioned as a candidate but concerns arise about cryo characters being restricted from release. Verina is expected to be featured prominently in this patch while discussions of Venes returning seem unlikely due to the focus on Mona's flagship event in version 5.5.

Version 5.5 introduces two new five-star characters, likely Ianson and Mizuki. Enen is expected to be a mid-tier character with limited information available; she will come alongside Sui in the standard banner ticket distribution. Mizuki has been hinted at through the Fontaine Arc but remains unreleased, anticipated to be an electro five-star Catalyst character.

In version 5.5, the anticipated new character is Ianson, with potential reruns including Kakomi or C Wayne in the second phase. The flagship event will take place in Mondstadt and is expected to feature a significant map expansion, likely introducing Dorm Port. Additionally, Venti seems to be a fitting candidate for an Aran rerun during this update.

Capitano and Colombina are joined by Mizuki, the goth girl, as a new five-star character. While details about her role remain scarce, speculation suggests that players may encounter a playable Harbinger in upcoming updates between versions 5.6 and 5.8.

The latest information reveals that the upcoming character banners may feature Tano or Colina. Viewers are encouraged to share their excitement and preferences for which characters they want to pull in future versions. Engagement is invited through likes, subscriptions, and comments.
