Genshin Impact 5.6 characters and rerun banner revealed

All the characters and rerun banners for the Genshin Impact 5.6 update have been revealed. The new version will release new Cryo and Anemo characters, Escoffier and Ifa. You can also look forward to a surprise Archon rerun.

Read on for more details on the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.6 banners.

Genshin Impact 5.6 banners revealed

Phase I

Listed below are the characters and weapons that will be featured on the banners during the first phase of version 5.6, which will go live on May 7:

• Characters
  • Escoffier (5-star Cryo – Polearm)
  • Navia (5-star Geo – Claymore)
  • Ifa (4-star Anemo – Catalyst)
• Weapons
  • Symphonist of Scents (5-star Polearm)
  • Verdict (5-star Claymore)

Escoffier will debut in the first half of the update. She is a new Cryo unit that can deal off-field damage and support the team by shredding enemies’ Cryo and Hydro resistance and healing the party members. Additionally, Ifa and Navia will be on this half’s banner.

Symphonist of Scents is a new 5-star Polearm and Escoffier’s signature weapon. It will also be featured on the weapon banner along with Navia’s signature weapon, Verdict, for the entire duration of the first half.

The new update is also expected to follow the six-week cycle, so Escoffier’s and Navia’s banners will last three weeks, and there’s enough time to get the characters or weapons you like.

Phase II

The second phase of Genshin Impact 5.6 will begin on May 27, and here are the characters you can look forward to pulling in this half:

• Characters
  • Raiden Shogun (5-star Electro – Polearm)
  • Kinich (5-star Dendro – Claymore)
• Weapons
  • Engulfing Lightning (5-star Polearm)
  • Fang of the Mountain King (5-star Claymore)

Kinich is set to get his first rerun in the second phase and will be featured alongside Raiden Shogun. Interestingly, the former’s release banner was also with the Shogun in version 5.0. In any case, both are pretty solid units, and you can pull them if you want.

Naturally, Raiden Shogun’s Engulfing Lightning and Kinich’s Fang of the Mountain King will be on rate up during the second half. These banners should last until June 17.

Chronicled Wish

Genshin Impact 5.6 will also feature a new Chronicled Wish featuring the following Inazuma characters and weapons:

• Characters
  • Ayaka (5-star Cryo)
  • Ayato (5-star Hydro)
  • Chiori (5-star Geo)
  • Yoimiya (5-star Pyroo)
  • Yae Miko (5-star Electro)
  • Itto (5-star Geo)
  • Kokomi (5-star Hydro)
  • Kazuha (5-star Anemo)
• Weapons
  • Uraku Misugiri (5-star Sword)
  • Haran Geppaku Futsu (5-star Sword)
  • Mistsplitter Reforged (5-star Sword)
  • Freedom-Sworn (5-star Sword)
  • Redhorn Stonethresher (5-star Claymore)
  • Kagura’s Verity (5-star Catalyst)
  • Everlasting Moonglow (5-star Catalyst)
  • Thundering Pulse (5-star Bow)

It is currently unknown whether the Inazuma Chronicled Wish will be in the first phase or the second, but the developers will share the details very soon.
