Version 5.1 with Xilonen is nearly here! For now, in version 5.0 we have Kinich, so don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull him, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.


Genshin Impact 5.1 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 5.1 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 5.1 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

With this is mind, thanks to Genshin's ever-reliable drip marketing, we know that 5-Star Geo character Xilonen is on one of the version 5.1 Banners in Genshin Impact, with Xilonen a 5-Star Geo character who uses a sword.

As for reruns, thanks to a datamine by the webiste Hakush.in relayed on the Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit, we also know that Chiori is running alongside Xilonen in Phase 1 of version 5.1, and that Nahida and Hu Tao are getting reruns in Phase 2 of version 5.1.

Wriothesley and Shenhe still aren't allowed to come out to play, it seems. Wriothesley hasn't been seen since his debut in October 2023, and Shenhe has been absent even longer, as her last rerun took place in March 2023. What has miHoYo got against Cryo?

Nahida.

Cryo concerns aside, if the leaks turn out to be true, then here's what the 5.1 Banner schedule will be:

  • Xilonen - Phase 1
  • Chiori - Phase 1
  • Nahida - Phase 2
  • Hu Tao - Phase 2

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 5.1 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
