Genshin Impact Leaks: Unveiling the Future Banners

Alright Travelers, gather ’round! The winds of Teyvat are whispering, and with those whispers come leaks! You want to know what’s on the horizon, which banners are rumored to be gracing our screens in the future. Let’s dive into what the current leaks suggest about future Genshin Impact banners.

Based on the most recent whispers (take these with a grain of salt, as leaks are always subject to change!), the predicted banners are shaping up as follows:

• Version 4.3: This version is heavily rumored to introduce the new 5-star Geo character Navia. Alongside her debut, expect reruns of popular characters such as Arataki Itto, Raiden Shogun, and Albedo. This makes 4.3 a potentially big patch for Geo mains and anyone who missed these powerful characters previously.
• Version 4.2: Leaks point towards Furina, the Hydro Archon, and Ayato being featured. Furthermore, reruns of Baizhu and Cyno are allegedly slated for this update.

Remember, these are leaks. While some come from credible sources, miHoYo can always change their plans. Consider them educated guesses and keep your Primogems ready for anything!

FAQs: Decoding the Genshin Impact Banner Landscape

Alright, let’s break down some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the Genshin Impact banner system and the leaks surrounding them.

1. What is a “banner” in Genshin Impact?

A “banner” in Genshin Impact is a limited-time event where players can spend their in-game currency, Primogems, to wish for specific characters or weapons. These banners operate on a gacha system, meaning the items you receive are random, though the game guarantees a 5-star character or weapon within a certain number of wishes (typically 90 for character event wishes and 80 for weapon event wishes).

2. How reliable are Genshin Impact leaks?

The reliability of Genshin Impact leaks varies wildly. Some sources have proven accurate in the past, but miHoYo can (and does) change plans. It’s best to approach leaks with cautious optimism. Treat them as rumors until officially confirmed. Certain prominent leakers have built reputations for accuracy, but even their information isn’t foolproof.

3. What characters are rumored to be playable in the future?

Beyond Navia, there’s been speculation about several other characters eventually becoming playable. Skirk, the master of Tartaglia (Childe), has had her in-game model leaked, fueling rumors of her release during the Fontaine cycle. Characters introduced in the story, like certain members of the Fatui Harbingers, are often candidates for future banners, though their actual release dates remain unknown.

4. What are “rerun” banners?

Rerun banners are banners that feature characters who have already been available in previous events. These allow players who missed out on a character’s initial banner to have another chance to obtain them. They are a common occurrence in Genshin Impact, providing opportunities to acquire characters or constellations for existing characters.

5. What is the Genshin Impact pity system?

The pity system is a mechanic that guarantees players will receive a 5-star character or weapon after a certain number of wishes. “Soft pity” increases your chances of getting a 5-star before the hard pity number (90 for character banners, 80 for weapon banners), with your probability growing each pull after around 70 pulls. If you don’t get a 5-star at 89 pulls, you’re guaranteed one on the 90th. If you lose the 50/50 chance to obtain the banner character, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the banner character.

6. What is the difference between character event wish and weapon event wish banners?

Character Event Wish banners feature a specific 5-star character with increased drop rates, alongside featured 4-star characters. Weapon Event Wish banners feature two specific 5-star weapons with increased drop rates, alongside featured 4-star weapons. The character event wish banner is considered safer, as with good luck you can receive a character that may be very powerful for your team.

7. How can I efficiently farm Primogems for upcoming banners?

Farming Primogems requires consistent effort. Completing daily commissions is a must. Participate in events, clear Spiral Abyss floors, open chests, complete quests, and redeem promo codes. Consider purchasing the Blessing of the Welkin Moon for a steady stream of Primogems over time, which can be highly efficient.

8. Who are some “must-pull” characters in Genshin Impact?

“Must-pull” status is subjective and depends on your team composition and priorities. However, characters like Kazuha (for elemental damage buffs and crowd control), Yelan (for strong off-field Hydro application), Nahida (for Dendro application and reactions), and the Archons generally provide significant value. Consider what your account needs most before pulling.

9. What is Fontaine in Genshin Impact?

Fontaine is the fifth of the seven nations in Teyvat, the world of Genshin Impact. It is known as the Nation of Justice and is ruled by the Hydro Archon, Furina. Introduced in Version 4.0, it features a unique aquatic setting with underwater exploration mechanics.

10. Are four-star characters worth wishing for?

While five-star characters are often the main draw, many four-star characters are incredibly powerful and valuable. Characters like Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Fischl are staples in many team compositions and provide excellent support or sub-DPS capabilities. Don’t underestimate the power of well-built four-star characters!

11. What element will Arlecchino use? Will she be playable?

Current leaks indicate Arlecchino is expected to use Pyro as her main element and will be playable in a later 4.X update, although there are some leaks with varying degrees of faith in them. As with any leak, this remains to be seen.

12. How does the weapon banner work and is it worth pulling?

The weapon banner features two specific 5-star weapons with increased drop rates. However, it has a higher chance of being less useful, especially if you don’t have characters that can effectively use both featured weapons. The weapon banner has its own pity system, guaranteeing a 5-star weapon within 80 wishes. You can also chart a course on a weapon, making it more likely you will pull for a banner character.

13. Should I pull for Lyney?

Whether or not you should pull for Lyney depends on your needs and playstyle. He’s a strong single-target Pyro DPS, making him a viable option for those lacking a dedicated main DPS of that element. However, if you already have a well-built Pyro DPS, such as Hu Tao or Yoimiya, Lyney might not be as essential.

14. What is the relationship between Beidou and Ningguang?

Among all the character dynamics and interactions, Beidou and Ningguang are the ones that most indicate being an actual couple in Genshin Impact. They were initially introduced as complete opposites and almost as enemies, as Beidou’s actions go against the rules of the Liyue Qixing. The relationship is often interpreted by fans as romantic due to their implied history and contrasting personalities.

15. Where can I find more information about the educational aspects of gaming?

For insights into the educational benefits and impacts of gaming, including titles like Genshin Impact, I recommend visiting the Games Learning Society website at https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/. This organization explores how games can be powerful tools for learning and development.
