Genshin Impact 3.4 banners, reruns, and weapon leaks

The Genshin Impact version 3.4 update will introduce both new and rerun characters that players can wish for. Fans will finally get an opportunity to spend their Primogems summoning the new characters, Alhaitham and Yaoyao. While the former is a 5-star Dendro Sword unit, the latter is one of the most anticipated 4-star Dendro Polearm users.

Recent leaks have revealed that the upcoming banners will contain some of Liyue's strongest units. Additionally, the weapon banners will also feature a few tons of signature weapons as well. Here's what reliable sources have to say about the upcoming Genshin Impact 3.4 banners.

The above tweet reveals the latest leaks shared by reliable sources within the Genshin Impact community. The new patch 3.4 update and its Phase I banner is expected to be released on January 18, 2023. Although the official posts had already confirmed Alhaitham and Yaoyao's debut, the leaks confirmed their banner order. While Alhaitham's debut banner has been claimed to drop in the Phase I banner, it is still unclear where Yaoyao will be placed as a 4-star Dendro unit.

Additionally, early speculations suggest that Alhaitham might be sharing the Phase I banner pity with Xiao. This speculation is based on the arrival of the Lantern Rite event during the release of the Phase I banner and how deeply the event is connected with Xiao.

Speaking of event wish banners, the Phase II banners of Genshin Impact 3.4 is expected to be released on February 7, 2023. The second half of character event wish banners will feature reruns of Hu Tao and Yelan based on the latest leaks. Both of these characters are excellent 5-star characters originating from Liyue.

Hu Tao is a 5-star Pyro polearm DPS that uses Normal and Charged Attacks to deal plenty of damage. Yelan is a 5-star Hydro sub-DPS that's well-known for her fast Hydro application and mobility. Coincidentally, both of these characters' damage multipliers are based on the character's max HP.
