Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Popular 4-Star Character Rerun Announcement

Overview of Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Banners

Charlotte is set to make her return to Event Banners in Genshin Impact Version 5.4, joining Furina and Wriothesley.
The community is expressing discontent with Genshin Impact’s banner mechanics, which often prioritize older characters over new additions.
As a 4-Star Cryo character, Charlotte synergizes well with Furina and offers diverse build options.

Exciting news is on the horizon for Genshin Impact fans: after a lengthy hiatus of 461 days, character Charlotte will reappear in the Event Banners of Version 5.4. Recent datamining confirms that she will join new characters Furina and Wriothesley, generating significant buzz amongst players. The banner system has been a hot topic, particularly concerning the in-game emphasis on 5-Star characters. The community has noted the peculiar absence of popular Cryo characters like Shenhe and Ganyu, who have not appeared for nearly two whole regions.

Although the recent Liyue Chronicled Banner briefly addressed these concerns, it appears characters from Inazuma—like Kokomi—are also facing long waits for reruns. This issue permeates the 4-Star character pool as well, with older figures such as Bennett, Noelle, and Xiangling consistently favored for appearances. A particularly striking example is Charlotte, who has been overlooked since her introduction in Version 4.2.

Fortunately, the latest leaks suggest Charlotte will finally get a moment in the spotlight. As noted by HomDGCat, she has been confirmed for a spot in the latter half of Version 5.4’s Event Banners, joining fellow Cryo characters—Wriothesley and Furina. This unique lineup of exclusively Cryo 4-Stars offers players new opportunities for team synergy and strategy as they prepare for the upcoming release.

First Half Banner Characters

Mizuki – 5-Star Anemo Catalyst
Sigewinne – 5-Star Hydro Bow
Sayu – 4-Star Anemo Claymore
Xiangling – 4-Star Pyro Polearm
Gorou – 4-Star Geo Bow

Second Half Banner Characters

Wriothesley – 5-Star Cryo Catalyst
Furina – 5-Star Hydro Sword
Charlotte – 4-Star Cryo Catalyst
Mika – 4-Star Cryo Polearm
Chongyun – 4-Star Cryo Claymore

In the realm of 4-Star characters, Charlotte stands out as a prime companion for Furina due to her healing capabilities that complement Furina’s Elemental Skill. Moreover, her Cryo application plays a critical role in Wriothesley’s Freeze team strategy, enhancing her value. Furthermore, Charlotte’s versatility allows players to explore offensive builds rather than being confined to pure healing roles.

Conversely, players who may not acquire Charlotte have an alternative in Mika, though his Cryo application is not as robust. The upcoming banners are generating enthusiasm, particularly for those who have eagerly awaited Wriothesley since Version 4.1. The second half of Version 5.4 is scheduled to kick off on March 4, 2025, lasting until March 25, 2025, promising an exciting period for dedicated Genshin Impact enthusiasts.
