Genshin Impact 5.8-6.0 Banners Roadmap

If you know what the characters that are upcoming in the banners are, you can plan. Then you can pull for the characters you want and save primogems when the banners are not right. With the recent 5.6 update, you can be sure that miHoYo has something big in store for us. So, let’s follow LDShop to get to know the possible banner runs and reruns in Genshin Impact versions 5.8 and 6.0. Let’s get started!

 

Genshin Impact Version 5.8 - The Summer Patch and Character Reruns

For the last four years, the updates around that time of the year have been called the Summer Event Patch. The previous updates during this time mainly focused on giving the players a good time. It was filled with fun and light-hearted content. Nothing too big or major happened in the previous updates around the same time. But you can never be sure of what miHoYo has in mind.

Characters Rerun: Citlali and Chasca

The banners always have something for us. It usually features reruns of characters that are sought after. Based on the prior banners and map expansions, two characters stand a greater chance at a rerun in version 5.8. The characters are Citlali and Chasca. Why? If you look at the prior banners and map expansions, all the characters introduced in a region at least get one rerun before progressing. Citali and Chasca are the only characters from Natlan who do not have a rerun yet scheduled. Granted, they also have a chance in version 5.7.

Note that the banner is not confirmed. So, there can be changes here and there, might even get new characters. If you remember, Wriothesley debuted in version 4.1 of the game. But we only got a rerun of his banner in version 5.4. So, nothing is confirmed. At the end of the day, miHoYo has a plan and a lot in store for us, we should wait.

Will there be any new characters in this banner? Chances are less. Usually, the characters in the banners suit the vibe and feel of the events. If we were looking purely at the previous track record of the banners, it would always feature a skin. Previously, in the summer patch of version 4.8, we had a debut banner, but we cannot be sure if the upcoming update will also have one.  

Now, in versions 1.6, 2.8, 3.8, and 4.8, we had a new summer-themed island along with events that complemented it. Moreover, the previous ones were related to the region at the time. So, you can expect a new limited-time region related to Natlan as a part of the 5.8 update. Surely only time will tell us what will happen. We can only hope and pray for the best characters to be on the banners in both phase one and phase two.

 

Genshin Impact Version 6.0 - A New Characters:Colombiya

For Genshin Impact version 6.0, we can only guess what might happen and the characters coming in the banners. Again, basing the future on the past track record, after a Summer patch, we get the major start of a new region. Now, if you are thinking, won’t there be a version 5.9? Till now, with the previous versions, there has not been a 9th patch of a particular version. MiHoYo does take the seven ate nine thing seriously, it seems. A new region means new and playable characters.

New Characters in version 6.0: Colombiya

As for the new character, we currently know that Columbina will be available in version 6.0.She makes her first appearance during Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo alongside her fellow Harbingers. Although there is not much information about her at present, Colombiya has great potential to become a character with a unique style and novel mechanisms. Her mysterious background, angelic setting and musical elements make us look forward to her official debut in the future.

New Regions?

Out of the regions of Tevyat, Snezhnaya remains to be explored. Now, going based on the current story and the fragments of the stories, Dragonspine looks to be the centre of the story. So, the main characters right off the bat are Durin, Albedo, and Wanderer.

Durin is the shadow dragon that roamed around five hundred years ago. With the new region possibly surrounding him, we might be able to play as him. Sometimes, we might get the Mini Durin as a playable character. But we will never know.

If the region is Dragonspine, we might see the banner rerun of Albedo and Wanderer. Albedo, with his vast knowledge and liking of dragons, makes him a prime candidate for a banner rerun. Furthermore, we might get a rerun of the Wanderer due to his connection with Fatui.

Talking about the Fatui, we still have many more to see of them. Remember that Snezhnaya is the home of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and is the land of the Tsaritsa. So, you can expect the reruns of either Arlecchino or Tartaglia. Sometimes, we might get a new playable character from the Order of the Fatui. In the initial patches of the 6.X, we can get some great characters. But, we will have to wait for the later updates, possibly giving the Tsaritsa and Dainsleif as playable characters.

At the end of the day, we will never know how the story will progress and how things will play out in Tevyat. Remember that Mavuika’s Gnosis is still with her. The Fatui failed in retrieving it. So, we might get to see another member of the Eleven Fatui Harbinger in action.

 

Conclusion

In short, with the upcoming updates and patches, there will be many new characters and features. In version 5.8, you can expect the Summer Patch. In this patch, you can expect a possible banner rerun of Citali and Chasca. What might come in version 6.0 is still up in the sky. We might get a rerun of Albedo or any of the already playable Eleven Fatui Harbinger members. Sometimes even both. 

“Nothing really matters, anyone can see”. Truly, all the banner talks and leaks will never matter if you do not make the most of them. Most importantly, your goal is to have fun. May you get the characters that you want from the current banner and in the upcoming banners.

While you might not be heavily invested in the story and the lore, you are interested in the characters that come with the updates, right? Following leaks from prominent and trustworthy dataminers is a great way to plan for the future. You will need to save up primogems, or you will have to do a Genshin Impact top up to pull the characters. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.
