Genshin Impact 4.2 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 4.2 livestream for official details on who the character event Banners will be, but there has been some leaks and official information that has provided details on the likely upcoming 4.2 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Based on the always reliable drip marketing on Genshin Impact's official X (formerly Twitter) account, it's almost certain that Furina is one of the next Banners in Genshin Impact, and her Banner should also feature the debut of Charlotte as one of the boosted 4-Star characters.

Switching to more speculative leaks from hxg_diluc, relayed on the SaveYourPrimos X (formerly Twitter) account, it seems a rerun of Baizhu will run alongside Furina in Phase 1 of version 4.2. Then, in Phase 2, we'll be getting reruns of Cyno and Ayato.

If this all turns out to be accurate, then the order of all banners for version 4.2 of Genshin Impact will be:

  • Furina (new 5-Star) - Phase 1
  • Baizhu (returning 5-Star) - Phase 1
  • Charlotte (new 4-Star) - Phase 1
  • Cyno (returning 5-Star) - Phase 2
  • Ayato (returning 5-Star) - Phase 2

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 4.2 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
