Genshin Impact: Most Anticipated Banners

Genshin Impact official art

Genshin Impact, one of the biggest and most played open-world RPG today, constantly surprises its players with new playable characters. Teyvat, the in-game world continuously expands and introduces more characters. New characters have been introduced recently upon Sumeru’s release. Recently, the nation of Sumeru (where the Dendro element hails from) was released along with new playable characters. It featured Tighnari, Nahida (the Dendro Archon), Cyno, and Nilou as the new 5-star characters from Sumeru. For the new 4-star characters, we have Collei, Dori, Candace, and Layla.

Genshin’s future patches will be releasing more Sumeru characters and some previously in-game NPCs. Players have been provided crumbs of potential 5-star characters through leaks but of course, we can’t be sure yet. Most of this information is subject to change, some are pure speculations, considering previous banner release dynamics.

A lot of players are starting to save up for these characters as early as now. Quite the dedication because that’s how we work Genshin. Especially if you are a collector. One must grind unless one can whale. And speaking from experience, being a F2P player may be hard sometimes, considering Genshin’s gacha system. It is better to be guaranteed than to lose the 50/50 banner system.

Most Anticipated Genshin Impact Banners

  • Scaramouche/Wanderer

Introduced early in the game as Scaramouche. For so long, this character hasn’t made appearances that Genshin fans even started making jokes about Scaramouche never having his own banner. But the tables have turned and he is definitely having one now and he even got better! Rocking his new design as an Anemo character using a catalyst. Additionally, they changed his name from Scaramouche to Wanderer.

Lore-wise, he is actually a really interesting character. He was related to the Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, and the ruler of Inazuma. Played “Scaramouche” for the Fatui Harbingers, where he got that name and he even has his own Boss version in the game right now. You could say, it was all worth the wait.

  • Baizhu
Baizhu in-game

Baizhu has been in the game since Liyue’s release. His known element is Dendro, considering the vision he yields. Players anticipated him when Sumeru dropped however, Sumeru hasn’t introduced him yet. But it is never too late, right? Certainly, Sumeru will have more updates soon, and hopefully, Baizhu will be one of them.

Moreover, fans also wish that Baizhu will be a catalyst user as not many male characters use one. But guess we’ll never know because Genshin devs like to surprise their players with unexpected updates.

  • Al Haitham

A quest-exclusive NPC, Al Haitham is a member of the Haravatat of the Sumeru Akademiya and the Akademiya’s Scribe. He is responsible for documenting their findings and drafting ordinances. Al Haitham is only interested in studying whatever interests him. Operating purely by rationality, some people find him irritating, especially Kaveh, who is extremely fed up with him.

Al Haitham’s design makes him special. He is a tall guy with grey hair and his clothing bears the palette of Sumeru aesthetic. Expected in version 3.4 as the new 5-star character.

  • Kaveh

Kaveh is a quest-exclusive NPC who appears in the Archon Quest in Sumeru. He is the architect behind the Palace of Alcazarzaray. He was a graduate of Sumeru Akademiya with honors. Personality-wise, Kaveh is said to rely strongly on his emotions. He is a stark defender of the arts and believes that helping others is a natural course of action. You could say he is the softhearted type.

As for his appearance, he is a tall beautiful male character with blonde hair and quite interesting Sumerian clothing. What’s more, is that he bears the Dendro vision which makes it clear which element he will be yielding. But what’s yet to be determined is if he will be a 5-star or a 4-star character. Either way, fans still anticipate his huge comeback.

  • Dehya

Another quest-inclusive NPC, Dehya is a female baddie who hails from the Great Red Sand – a region in Sumeru. This character is a well-known and powerful Eremite who also goes by the name “Flame-Mane” and she yields a Pyro vision. Dehya wields a claymore, as seen in her quest cut scene. She has a dark skin tone which is quite a rarity in Genshin character designs so fans are excited about it.

Dehya will be the new 5-star character in version 3.5, as currently speculation says. Along with her would be Mika, a kid from Mondstadt in 4-star rarity.

  • Dottore

Last but not least is Il Dottore. Dottore is one of the 11 Fatui Harbingers. He has been introduced early in the Genshin webtoon and was mentioned a few times in-game. Recently, Genshin released a teaser featuring all the Fatui Harbingers and that’s where the speculations for more Harbingers to become playable started. So far, the only playable Fatui Harbinger is Childe, who has been in the game since version 1.1.

Dottore’s weapon type and rarity are still unknown. It is also quite unclear when he might be playable considering he hails from the nation of Snezhnaya, which is yet to be released. His release still might depend on the story’s progress, though.

Which one are you most excited about?

As a fellow player, I could say that Genshin Impact is a really fun game and the new characters make it even more interesting. There will always be something to look forward to which keeps their most loyal players playing.

Genshin Impact is a free game available on mobile, PC, and console.
