Genshin Impact 5.6 Banners
As confirmed by a Reddit leak from user HomDGCat, here’s what to expect in the banners for Genshin Impact version 5.6:
- New Character: Escoffier (5-star Cryo)
- Raiden Shogun (5-star Electro)
- Kinich (5-star Dendro)

- New Character: Ifa (4-star Anemo)
- Lynette (4-star Anemo)
- Kujou Sara (4-star Electro)
- Thoma (4-star Pyro)
- Layla (4-star Cryo)
Both Escoffier and Ifa have been officially confirmed for the 5.6 update. Escoffier is expected to serve as a formidable Cryo sub-DPS and support unit, primarily enhancing the performance of Hydro and Cryo allies. Meanwhile, Ifa is believed to be another healer focused on Anemo elements, ideal for exploration.
The returning characters in the rerun banners include Navia, Kinich, and Raiden Shogun. Notably, Raiden Shogun’s rerun is intriguing, considering she had her Archon rerun during version 5.0. Additionally, Thoma, Layla, Kujou Sara, and Lynette will be available in limited banners.
The specific banner order hasn’t yet been revealed; however, it’s likely that Escoffier will feature prominently in the first phase of the update as the sole new 5-star character.
Genshin Impact 5.7 Banners
According to leaks from Genshin LeakFlow and Full Stop Chan on Reddit, version 5.7 will finally introduce Dahlia and Skirk as playable characters. Dahlia, previously mentioned in Rosaria’s drip marketing campaign, is anticipated to be a 4-star character wielding a sword and belonging to the Knights of Favonius.
Conversely, Skirk is rumored to be a 5-star Cryo character. She is a mysterious swordswoman and known to be Childe’s master, first appearing in Genshin Impact 4.2 during the Fontaine Archon Quest. Skirk’s leaked skillset suggests she will excel as a DPS character, leveraging enhanced Normal Attacks and her Elemental Burst in synergy with Hydro and Cryo teammates.
The introduction of Skirk and Dahlia aligns perfectly since they represent the final two characters from the silhouettes unveiled during the version 5.3 livestream.
