Whispers of the Wind: 5.6 Banner Leaks

While we eagerly await the official announcements, the Genshin Impact community is abuzz with speculation and leaks regarding the Version 5.6 Banners. Thanks to HoYoverse’s own “drip marketing” and insights from reliable leakers, here’s what the rumor mill is suggesting:

It’s looking highly probable that we’ll welcome two new faces to our rosters:

  • Escoffier: A new 5-Star Cryo character. Get ready for some frosty new combat possibilities!
  • Ifa: A new 4-Star Anemo character. Expect some breezy support or crowd control potential.

Adding fuel to the fire, reliable leaker HomDGCat (via the Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit) suggests the following character banner reruns:

  • Phase 1: Escoffier is expected to debut alongside a rerun of Kinich, the 5-Star Dendro claymore user. It’s also rumored that the new 4-Star character, Ifa, will be featured on both Escoffier and Kinich’s banners during this phase.
  • Phase 2: The second half of the update might bring us a powerful double feature with reruns of Navia, the 5-Star Geo claymore wielder, and the formidable Raiden Shogun, the 5-Star Electro polearm user.

Keep in mind, dear Travelers, that these are still leaks and unofficial information. While HomDGCat has a solid track record, we should always take these whispers with a grain of salt until HoYoverse makes the official announcements during the 5.6 livestream.

So, are you excited about the potential new characters and banner reruns? What events are you hoping to see return? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! And don’t forget to tune in to the Genshin Impact Version 5.6 livestream on Friday, April 25th, to get all the official details! Happy Wishing!
