Fellow Travelers, the dust has barely settled from the version 5.6 livestream, but the strategic minds among us are already looking ahead! Version 5.7 is on the horizon, and if you’re aiming to maximize your Primogem investments, now is the time to plan. What I’m about to share is a blend of the latest leaks, Hoyoverse’s established banner patterns, and a healthy dose of Genshin logic. Remember, these are predictions, not gospel, but they can certainly help you get a strategic edge.

Now, let’s dive into the exciting predictions for version 5.7 banners:

The Debut We’ve All Been Waiting For: Skirk!

For months, the community has buzzed with anticipation, and according to multiple reliable sources, version 5.7 is finally set to welcome Skirk as a brand-new five-star Cryo Claymore user! This enigmatic figure has been weaving her way into the lore since Fontaine, and after countless theories and speculations, her arrival seems all but confirmed. Leakers have previously shared potential details about her kit, and if those leaks hold true, we’re in for a treat. If you haven’t caught up on the rumored details of her abilities, don’t worry – I’ve already created a video breaking down everything we know, so be sure to check it out!

A New Face from Mondstadt: Dalia

But Skirk isn’t the only newcomer on the horizon. Leaks also suggest the debut of Dalia, a four-star character hailing from Mondstadt. Speculation points towards her being a Hydro support unit, potentially adding some fresh mechanics to our Hydro roster.

Highly Anticipated Reruns: Archons and Fan Favorites!

Version 5.7 is shaping up to be a rerun bonanza, featuring some truly heavy-hitting characters:

• Mauvika, the Pyro Archon: Get ready, Pyro mains! Mauvika is widely expected to receive her very first rerun in version 5.7. This perfectly aligns with Hoyoverse’s established pattern of giving each Archon their initial rerun exactly four patches after their initial release. Having debuted in version 5.3, a version 5.7 rerun for Mauvika is almost a lock, barring any unexpected deviations from Hoyoverse’s usual schedule (which is highly unlikely). And for those wondering about the timing, history suggests her banner will appear in the second phase of the update, following the trend set by Venti, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, and Nahida. If you’ve been diligently saving for the Pyro Archon, mark the latter half of May 7th on your calendars!
• Mualani, the Hydro Catalyst User: Joining the rerun lineup is likely to be Mualani, the elegant Hydro Catalyst user who first graced our banners in version 5.0. This prediction makes perfect sense considering the recent banner cycles. With Kenish, her original banner partner, slated for a rerun in version 5.6, it’s only logical for Mulani to follow suit in version 5.7. Hoyoverse has consistently demonstrated a pattern of keeping character banners rotating, and this timing fits their usual approach seamlessly.
• The Final Rerun Slot: Could it be the Wanderer? Now for the big question mark: who will take the final rerun spot? While an Inazuma character might initially come to mind, the upcoming Inazuma Chronicled Wish banner in version 5.6 makes another Inazuma rerun in 5.7 less probable. The most likely candidate at this point seems to be the Wanderer. His last banner appearance was way back in version 4.6, meaning a full year will have passed by the time version 5.7 arrives. Hoyoverse rarely keeps popular five-star characters out of the banner rotation for such an extended period, especially given the Wanderer’s continued relevance in the game’s lore and his significant popularity among players. Version 5.7 seems like the perfect opportunity for his return.

Strategic Planning: Save Those Primogems!

While nothing is set in stone until the official version 5.7 livestream, the smart move for now is to start saving your Primogems with these potential banners in mind: Skirk, Mavika, Mulani, and the Wanderer. And don’t overlook Dalia – she might just turn out to be a surprisingly valuable four-star addition to your teams.
