According to leaker HomDGCat, four character banners might be coming in Genshin Impact version 5.6:

• Escoffier (Cryo): Cryo/Hydro support who uses a polearm
• Kinich (Dendro): Burning DPS who uses a claymore
• Navia (Geo): Crystallize DPS who uses a claymore
• Raiden Shogun (Electro): Burst DPS who uses a polearm

These are the four 5-star characters rumored to be featured in the upcoming banners. Alongside them, Ifa is reportedly a 4-star character who might appear in either the first or second phase of the 5.6 banners.

If the leaks turn out to be true, this will be Kinich’s first rerun, Navia's second, and Raiden Shogun's fifth. Escoffier is rumored to be a premium support unit for Freeze teams. All of these rerun characters are strong DPS units capable of carrying teams through endgame content like Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theatre.

Along with Ifa, HomDGCat also leaked the following 4-star characters expected to appear in version 5.6 banners:

• Lynette (Anemo): Support, uses a sword
• Layla (Cryo): Shielder, uses a sword
• Sara (Electro): Support, uses a bow
• Thoma (Pyro): Support, uses a polearm

Players can also expect signature weapons to be available in the weapon banner. Leaks have already hinted at Escoffier’s signature polearm, Symphonist of Scents. In addition to this 5-star weapon, the following signature weapons are expected to return in version 5.6:

• Fang of the Mountain King (Claymore)
• Verdict (Claymore)
• Engulfing Lightning (Polearm)

This wraps up the banner leaks for version 5.6. Now let’s take a look at the leaks for version 5.7.

Genshin Impact 5.7 banner leaks

Skirk & New Endgame mode Crumbs by homdgrat byu/ISRUKRENG inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

There is not much information available about the Genshin Impact 5.7 banners, as the 5.6 beta is still ongoing. However, some intriguing leaks have started to surface.

HomDGRat has been sharing details about Skirk’s kit. Skirk was revealed back in version 4.2, but she hasn’t appeared in the game since then. According to leaks, both Skirk and Dahlia are expected to become playable characters in version 5.7. While their rarities are still unknown, it has been suggested that they will feature on the 5.7 character banners.

Unlike Skirk, who has previously appeared in the storyline, Dahlia is a character whose name has only been mentioned by other characters. During the Genshin Impact 5.3 livestream, HoYoverse revealed silhouettes of seven characters scheduled to be released over the following six months.

With Mizuki, Varesa, and Iansan already in the game and Escoffier and Ifa confirmed for 5.6, only two characters remain. Since version 5.7 is expected to launch exactly six months after the 5.3 livestream, it is reasonable to expect those two remaining characters to debut in 5.7.

Moreover, HoYoverse has recently added the Finale of the Deep Galleries artifact set, which does not suit any currently available characters. Its design resembles Skirk’s aesthetic, and its set bonus aligns with Skirk’s leaked kit, further hinting that her release is imminent.
