Genshin Impact has officially revealed the list of four-star characters that will be featured on the upcoming Limited Character Banner. Characters in Genshin Impact are divided into two rarity categories: five-star and four-star units. Five-star characters are much harder to obtain, as they follow a 90-wish pity system compared to the 10-wish pity of four-star units.
Each banner cycle features two separate Limited Character Banners, each including one five-star and three four-star units. The ongoing double banner allows players to obtain the mighty Raiden Shogun and Kinich as five-star characters, as well as Thoma, Sara, and Lynette as four-star units. The banner is scheduled to expire soon, which means a new set of limited characters should arrive in just a few days.
Genshin Impact Chart Shows Sales Difference Between Kinich and Raiden Shogun
An interesting Genshin Impact chart reveals the revenue difference between the two currently featured five-star characters, Raiden Shogun and Kinich.
HoYoverse's recent Special Program event confirmed which five-star characters will be featured in the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 5.7 update. The livestream revealed that the first banner cycle will feature two five-star Cryo users: Skirk and Shenhe. A new official announcement on Genshin Impact's social media accounts revealed that the duo will be joined by a powerful four-star lineup consisting of Dahlia, Candace, and Diona. Skirk will be the only new five-star character in this update, and she has been one of the most anticipated characters for a long time, ever since her appearance back in Version 4.2. She is expected to be a five-star DPS unit who performs best in team compositions that include Cryo and Hydro characters.
Genshin Impact 5.7 Banner Characters Confirmed
- Skirk - new five-star Cryo user
- Shenhe - five-star Cryo user
- Dahlia - new four-star Hydro user
- Diona - four-star Cryo user
- Candace - four-star Hydro user
Although Shenhe was recently featured on the Chronicled Banner in Genshin Impact, this will mark her first appearance on a limited banner in over two years. Shenhe could have great synergy with Skirk, as her kit benefits from having multiple Cryo users in the party. This also makes her the go-to support for the popular elemental DPS, Kamisato Ayaka.
Dahlia will be a new four-star character, and the official storyline confirms that he is a deacon of the Church of Favonius. According to his gameplay reveal, Dahlia is expected to be a solid Hydro support in Genshin Impact who specializes in providing powerful shields and increasing the attack speed of the team's main DPS. This means Dahlia will likely be a great support choice for Skirk, which is good news since they will be featured on the same banner.
Diona is one of the oldest characters in the roster and offers a little bit of everything, except high damage. She can provide both healing and shielding, along with strong energy generation and decent Cryo application. Similar to Diona, Candace is also a flexible support, making her a great choice for DPS units in Genshin Impact that rely on Hydro-based elemental reactions.
