Who will be on the banner in Genshin Impact 1.5:

All signs point to a Zhongli rerun at the beginning of update 1.5, as Genshin Impact has been pointing to this through both releasing new artifact sets that will greatly benefit the Geo Archon, and through leaked boss battles that feature his dialogue.

Zhongli's return will likely feature Yanfei, though the other two characters on the banner are up for speculation. It is likely that another Geo character will appear, meaning that Ningguang has a high chance of also featuring on the banner. Finally, the remaining slot may go to another Liyue character like Xiangling or Beidou.

Eula is likely to be the second featured 5-star on Genshin Impact's 1.5 banner, and she will most likely bring with her several Mondstadt characters. There is the possibility of her banner featuring Diona, Bennett, or even some of the free 4-star units, though this has yet to occur in Genshin Impact. Not much is known about the contents of Eula's banner so far, but with leaks of 1.5 being constant, the chances of an update are high.
