Genshin Impact 5.6 Update: Banners and Character Leaks
New Playable Characters in Genshin Impact 5.6
According to beta testing information, players can anticipate two new playable characters:
- Escoffier (Five-star Cryo – Polearm)
- Ifa (Four-star Anemo – Catalyst)
Escoffier, a character revealed in the silhouettes during the 5.3 livestream, is a Fontaine chef yet to make her in-game debut. She is speculated to be a five-star Cryo unit wielding a Polearm.
Moreover, Ifa is also set to make his first appearance in version 5.6 as a four-star unit. As an Anemo character, he is likely to utilize a Catalyst. Fans might already recognize him from the Natlan Archon Quest, where he is known as a prominent Saurian vet from Natlan’s Flower-Feather Clan.
Rerun Characters for Version 5.6
As per leaks from reliable source HomDGCat, the following characters are anticipated to receive rerun banners in Genshin Impact 5.6:
- Raiden Shogun (Five-star Electro)
- Kinich (Five-star Dendro)
- Navia (Five-star Geo)
Interestingly, the Electro Archon may have another rerun despite her appearance in the 5.0 banners. Kinich and Navia might be featured in their first and second reruns, respectively. All three characters are among the strongest in the game, making their banners particularly enticing.
Unfortunately, the specific banner order remains undisclosed, and players will have to wait for further announcements. However, it is probable that Escoffier will appear in the first phase since she is a newly introduced five-star character.
Keep in mind that the banner information is subject to change as these details are based on leaks.
