Rumors of the five-star characters that will be included in the game are starting to surface as anticipation grows for the next Genshin Impact 4.8 update. Interesting information regarding both new and old characters has been leaked, indicating that players can expect a fun experience.
While details around weapon banners and stages remain unclear, the leaks provide a look at the kinds of 4-star and 5-star characters that may be included in the Genshin Impact 4.8 banner. So without further ado, let's get straight to the juicy details.
Genshin Impact 4.8 Banners
A large cast of both new and returning characters would be featured in the Genshin Impact 4.8 banners, according to information that was leaked. Credible data miners Dimbreath and HXG have discovered that the upcoming Genshin 4.8 banner is rumored to have three returning characters—Navia, Nilou, and Yelan—as well as a new character named Emilie.
So, the following characters can be seen on the Genshin Impact 4.8 banner:
- Emilie (new 5-star)
- Navia (rerun)
- Yelan (rerun)
- Nilou (rerun)
Genshin Impact 4.8 Banner Phases
As per the leak, the Genshin Impact 4.8 banner is expected to roll out in two phases, featuring:

1st: Navia/Nilou
2nd: Emilie, Yelan
Although the leaked data suggests that the Yelan and Emilie banners will appear in the first stage of the Genshin 4.8 banner, and the entries for Navia and Nilou in the second, the exact order is still unknown, so guesses are welcome.
Genshin Impact 4.8 Banner Characters
Emilie: 5-star Pyro Polearm character
The highlight of the 4.8 update is undoubtedly the introduction of a new five-star character, Emilie. Emilie is a Dendro polearm user whose kit revolves around triggering the Burning reaction. Leaks suggest she will operate as an off-field support, enhancing the power of Burning reactions and increasing team resistance to this effect. This makes her a strong pair for main Pyro DPS units like Arlecchino, Hu Tao, or Lyney.
The list of Genshin 4.8 banner reruns includes the following:
Navia: A five-star Geo Claymore user making her first rerun since her debut in Version 4.3. Navia is a powerful DPS character specializing in creating Elemental Shards from the Crystallize reaction to enhance her own damage. She is versatile and fits well in various team compositions, especially with other Geo units.
Nilou: A five-star Hydro sword user heading into her second rerun. Nilou is an excellent sub-DPS character, particularly effective in Bloom reactions. She transforms Dendro Cores into Bountiful Cores, which have enhanced damage potential and AoE effects. Nilou relies heavily on Dendro characters to maximize her capabilities.
Yelan: Returning for what could be her third rerun, Yelan is a five-star Hydro bow user known for her off-field Hydro damage capabilities. She excels in a variety of elemental reactions, making her one of the most versatile support characters in the game. Her Elemental Burst is particularly powerful, contributing significantly to team damage output.
Genshin Impact 4.8 Weapon Banners
Based on the accuracy of the character banner leaks, players can anticipate the release of the following weapons in the Genshin 4.8 banners:
- Lumidouce Elegy (possibly Emilie’s signature weapon)
- Verdict (Navia’s weapon)
- Aqua Simulacra (Yelan's weapon)
- Key of Khaj-Nisut sword (Nilou's weapon)
Genshin Impact 4.8 Banner Release Date
Travelers can expect the Genshin 4.8 banner to roll out on July 17, 2024, based on the current update schedule and historical trends. Since the first half of Event Wishes will be accessible once the new version launches, this also applies to the release of the Navia and Nilou banners.
Emilie and Yelan are likely to be released on August 6, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. However, due to time zone differences, the exact timings of all the servers will vary.
Well, the response to these leaks from the community was divided; some are excited about Emilie, a new character, while others are waiting for popular characters like Yelan to return. But considering there are noticeably fewer Cryo characters in the version 4.8 banner leaks, the leaks are a little concerning as reliable 5-star Cryo characters have been really missing in the Gacha system for a while.
However, given HoYoverse's track record of changing its intentions, it is advisable to postpone any decisions until official announcements are made.
