4-star characters who might appear in Genshin Impact 5.6 banners, according to leaks

5.6 banner data added lynette and layla byu/ISRUKRENG inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

According to credible leaker HomDGCat, Escoffier, Kinich, Navia, and Raiden might be the 5-star units to get rate-up banners in Genshin Impact 5.6. The 4-star units who could possibly be featured on their banners are:

• Ifa (new; 4-star Anemo)
• Lynette (4-star Anemo)
• Layla (4-star Cryo)

Since there is no information regarding which phase these characters will be on, they may all be featured in Phase I or divided amongst the first and second phase.

Of these characters, Ifa is a brand-new unit who will be launched in Genshin Impact 5.6. His drip marketing revealed that he wields the Anemo element, which makes him a very useful character to have in your party.

Additionally, since Ifa hails from Natlan, he should also have some kind of unique Nightsoul's Blessing mechanism baked into his kit. This would make him an interesting character to play.

As for the other two 4-star units, Lynette functions as a good Anemo support unit, while Layla is a great Cryo shielder who provides a lot of utility to your team.
