A recent leak by Project Celestia, a reputed data miner and leaker, claimed that the Eula banner will promote some of the least featured 4-star characters of all time in Genshin Impact. According to the leaks, the featured characters of the Eula banner in Genshin Impact are:

1. Xinyan (Pyro- Claymore)
2. Xingqiu (Hydro- Sword)
3. Beidou (Electro- Claymore)

Are the leaks trustworthy?

The leaks come from a source who has provided numerous accurate Genshin Impact information in the past. The leaker clearly mentions that the information is based on the data mined from the "Test Run" of the upcoming banner. The Test Run usually allows players to try out the featured characters of a banner for a limited time without unlocking them.

Considering the latest Zhongli banner 4-star character leaks based on Test Run eventually came true, it's safe to say that Xinyan, Xingqiu, and Beidou are likely to be the 4-star characters of the Eula banner in Genshin Impact.
