The latest beta build for Version 5.4 has enriched the Event Banners for the upcoming patch in Genshin Impact, providing a clearer picture of the 4-Star characters that will accompany Mizuki, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, and Furina. With Version 5.3 concluding the Archon Quest in Natlan, Version 5.4 will bring players back to Inazuma. Although it won't introduce a new map expansion, the Flagship Event will focus on Inazuma's yokai, featuring Yae Miko and Ei prominently.
Arguably, the highlight of Version 5.4 is Yumemizuki Mizuki, a new 5-Star Anemo Catalyst from Inazuma. Mizuki is anticipated to be a Standard Banner character, sparking interest in her Signature Weapon. Her ability kit resembles that of Sucrose but with healing capabilities. Despite criticisms of her passive rotation, Mizuki has seen consistent buffs throughout the beta testing phase.
Thanks to HomDCCat's datamining efforts, Genshin Impact enthusiasts can now anticipate the majority of 4-Star characters set to appear in the Version 5.4 Event Banners. The first half of Version 5.4 will likely feature Wriothesley and Mizuki, while the second half will spotlight Sigewinne and Furina. The 4-Star characters expected are Mika, Gorou, Sayu, and Chongyun. There's a rumor of an Inazuma Chronicled Banner in the upcoming patch, but confirmation or denial might only come during the developer livestream.
Genshin Impact: Banner Characters in Version 5.4
Note that the 4-Star characters listed are not in any specific order. If Version 5.4 does include an Inazuma Chronicled Banner, Gorou and Sayu would likely appear in the phase without it. Given the pattern of previous versions, both scenarios are possible. Mika stands out as particularly valuable, synergizing well with both Furina and Wriothesley.
Speculation about the final two spots on the Event Banners in Version 5.4 points to a potential return for Charlotte, who hasn't appeared since Version 4.2 and missed Furina's rerun in Version 4.7. Noelle, who complements both Furina and Gorou, may also feature in the second half. While there are stronger 4-Star options available, this setup offers Sayu, Mika, and Gorou much-needed reruns on the Event Banners.
