According to the version 5.1 Special Program livestream, here's a list of the 5-star characters who will be featured on the first phase banners of the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.1 update, scheduled to go live on October 9, 2024:

• Xilonen (5-star Geo)
• Chiori (5-star Geo)

Xilonen is the only new playable character in version 5.1. She has been confirmed to be a 5-star unit and will debut in the first phase of the new update. Xilonen is rumored to be a Sword user with a ton of amazing abilities in her kit, including great exploration skill, healing, and resistance shred, making her a great support unit. Not only that, but she also seems to be a good sub-DPS unit.

Moreover, it is revealed that Chiori will get her first rerun alongside the new Geo character from the Children of Echoes.

Meanwhile, the second phase of version 5.1, scheduled to begin on October 29, 2024, will bring back the following characters:

• Nahida (5-star Dendro)
• Hu Tao (5-star Pyro)

Unsurprisingly, the new 5.1 update will feature an Archon banner as Nahida is expected to get her third rerun in the second phase. She is the best Dendro character in the game and Travelers who do not have her can use this opportunity to get her.

Lastly, Hu Tao might get her fourth rerun banner. This will be her long-awaited return since version 4.1. Hu Tao is an amazing Pyro DPS, so players looking for a good damage dealer can pull her.
