Genshin Impact Leaks Version 4.8’s Banner Characters
Double Banners with Re-Runs and a New Character
In Version 4.8, Genshin Impact continues its tradition of double banners, each featuring two limited five-star characters along with a shared pool of four-star characters.
This update introduces a twist with the debut of a brand-new Dendro user, Emilie, in the second banner cycle. As a result, the first banner cycle will offer a trio of exciting re-runs.
Geo Powerhouse and Hydro Maestro Make a Return
The first banner cycle brings back two fan-favorite five-star characters: Navia and Nilou. Navia, a Geo Claymore user, is celebrated for her versatility and high damage potential, making her a powerful DPS option and a joy to control.
Nilou, a Hydro sword user, is essential for teams focusing on Bloom damage. Her passive talent transforms regular Dendro Cores into Bountiful Cores, significantly enhancing their damage and area-of-effect capabilities.
Both Navia and Nilou are top-tier characters in their respective roles, presenting a challenging choice for players looking to strengthen their teams.
Introducing Emilie, the New Dendro Support
The second banner cycle introduces Emilie, a highly anticipated five-star Dendro polearm user. Leaks suggest she will excel as an off-field support, specializing in triggering the Burning reaction.
This reaction, while currently less popular than other Dendro-related reactions, may gain prominence with Emilie’s abilities.
Beloved Hydro Unit Yelan Joins the Fray
Joining Emilie in the second banner cycle is Yelan, a five-star Hydro bow user. Yelan is widely regarded as one of the best Hydro supports in the game, second only to Xingqiu. Her impressive banner revenue record speaks to her power and popularity among players.
Strategic Choices for Team Building
The leaked banner line-up offers Travelers exciting options. While Navia and Nilou are undeniably strong choices, the allure of the new Dendro user, Emilie, and the ever-reliable Yelan may tempt players to save their Primogems for the second banner cycle.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
It’s important to note that these are leaks, and HoYoverse has yet to officially confirm the banner characters for Version 4.8. However, these leaks provide valuable insights into who might be featured when the update arrives.
