Genshin Impact has revealed the full lineup for the second half of Version 5.8, as Bennett, Ororon, and Ifa will accompany Mualani and Chasca on the Event Banners. As the Natlan era comes to a close in Genshin Impact, the Event Banners will feature some very important reruns. With Mualani and Chasca appearing in the second half of Version 5.8, the only Natlan 5-Star to not feature after her debut banner will be Varesa, recently introduced in Version 5.5.
Nod-Krai is on the horizon, with characters such as Aino, Lauma, and Flins coming to Genshin Impact. While they will no doubt be fine additions to the playable cast, both Chasca and Mualani are valuable hypercarries in their own right. Whereas Chasca is favored for her flexibility when it comes to team compositions, Mualani is beloved among those who prefer big, front-loaded numbers.
Genshin Impact Leaks 4-Star Banner Characters for Version 6.0
Recent information from the Genshin Impact beta reveals which 4-Star characters will accompany Flins and Lauma on the banners in Version 6.0.
Genshin Impact: Second Half Banner Characters in Version 5.8
- Mualani – 5-Star Hydro Catalyst
- Chasca – 5-Star Anemo Bow
- Bennett – 4-Star Pyro Sword
- Ororon – 4-Star Electro Bow
- Ifa – 4-Star Anemo Catalyst
As revealed by Genshin Impact across social media, Mualani and Chasca will be accompanied by the following 4-Stars: Bennett, Ororon, and Ifa. In terms of value, players will no doubt be thrilled by what Ororon and Bennett bring to the table. Bennett has consistently been one of the best 4-Star characters in Genshin Impact, while Ororon continues to benefit in the meta as an Electro-Charged Support. Lastly, Ifa provides a niche as a dedicated driver for Electro-Charged teams, and has gained a new upgrade with the release of Ineffa in Version 5.8.
The Event Banners for the second half will run from August 19, 2025, until September 10, 2025. It will be the last set of banners until Nod-Krai, as Version 6.0 will kick off with Lauma and either Nahida or Yelan in the first half. What makes Lauma in Genshin Impact such an exciting character is two things: Lunar-Bloom being a terrific source of Dendro damage, and the fact that she is the first Dendro Support since Emilie in Version 4.8.
For those who may be interested in the Event Banners of both updates, they will be able to collect a significant number of Primogems in Genshin Impact during Version 5.8 and Version 6.0. One thing to keep in mind for Nod-Krai is that it may take time for premium teams to emerge. Conversely, the Natlan cast is a known quantity, with its place in the meta already determined. If fans enjoy the playstyles of Chasca or Mualani, there will always be value in pulling for them.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
