Summary
According to a reliable source in theGenshin Impactcommunity, Version 5.2 will feature Wanderer on the Event Banners alongside the new Anemo character from Natlan, Chasca. While most of Natlan was kept under wraps prior to its announcement,Genshin Impactplayers have since had little struggle with obtaining information about upcoming characters and Event Banners. Knowing when a featured character inGenshin Impactwill debut or have a rerun is crucial to planning how to spend one’s Primogems responsibly.
Whereas theEvent Banners for Version 5.1 inGenshin Impactare all but confirmed, Version 5.2 is still very much in the realm of speculation. Xilonen and the continuation of Natlan’s Archon Quest will likely be the main attractions of Version 5.1, though players can also look forward to seeing Chiori, Nahida, and Hu Tao on the Event Banners. Version 5.2 will introduce Chasca and a new map expansion for Natlan, but recent information reveals that another Anemo character may feature in the update.
Namely,FouL claimsthat Wanderer will be a banner character for Version 5.2, implying a patch focused onAnemo characters inGenshin Impact. Given that Faruzan tends to join Wanderer on his banners, it’s highly likely that she will feature in Version 5.2 as well. As for the other two characters that will join Wanderer and Chasca, there are several options.
Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Banner Characters
Raiden was present in Version 5.0, and Nahida will be back in Version 5.1. Based on past regions inGenshin Impact, an Archon is all but guaranteed a spot on the Event Banners all the way to Version 5.5. Given that Furina was featured recently in Version 4.7 and Mavuika is locked in for Version 5.3, it’s likely that Zhongli or Venti will be the Archon of Version 5.2. Assuming Version 5.5 ends up being the long-awaitedMondstadt expansion forGenshin Impact, then it makes sense to hold off on Venti for now – leaving Zhongli as the ideal candidate.
It has been a while since Shenhe and Ganyu featured on the Event Banners, and players have clamored for a Wriothesley rerun for a long time. Though they aren’t guaranteed to appear in Version 5.2, it would be an easy way for HoYoverse to appease the community. While theCryo element inGenshin Impacthas fallen out of favor since Sumeru, Wriothesley was considered a success when he made his debut in Version 4.1, and recent characters such as Emilie have increased his value as a hypercarry even further. Version 5.2 is expected to launch in late November 2024, andGenshin Impactfans will find out more about its character banners in the near future.
