With Genshin Impact version 4.8 halfway through, the developers have revealed the second phase of Character Event banners—and they look pretty stacked.
On Aug. 1, the Genshin Impact devs revealed that the second half of version 4.8 features a new five-star Dendro character, Emilie, and a rerun of Yelan. If adding a new powerful Dendro character to the roster isn’t enough, then adding a rerun banner of one of the best Hydro units in Genshin Impact might mark this version as the best one yet.
Emilie and Yelan’s banners both include the same three four-star units: Razor, Yanfei, and one of the best four-star characters in Genshin, Xiangling. Although Razor doesn’t work well with Emilie and Yelan, both Yanfei and Xiangling are fantastic Pyro units that synergize perfectly with the featured five-stars. However, some players are furious that Xiangling is included in yet another banner.
“Xiangling again? Wasn’t she in Arlecchino’s banner? Where Cheveruse,” one player commented on Genshin’s X post.
Besides two character banners, the second phase of version 4.8 includes their signature five-star weapons. Players can grab Emilie’s Polearm, Lumidouce Elegy, or Yelan’s Bow Aqua Simulacra.
Although this announcement comes right before the Natlan release, the second half of version 4.8 features a powerful lineup of characters, so it might be worth considering spending your Primogems on them.
