Expected banner and rerun

As mentioned earlier, Genshin Impact 4.5 will likely release Chiori. In addition, several leaks from reliable sources, including leaker phantrinh8 on X, hint at Albedo getting a potential rerun banner in this update.

According to GenshinMeow, there will also likely be a major event in Mondstadt, expected to be another Windblume Festival. Thus, it would make sense for Albedo to get his long-awaited third rerun. It is worth mentioning that he hasn't had a rate-up since version 3.1.

Renowned leaker hxg_diluc has also suggested that Kaedehara Kazuha and Arataki Itto may also have a rerun in version 4.5.

In any case, Chiori's exact release date in Genshin Impact hasn't been officially confirmed, you can expect her to debut on one of the following dates, depending on the patch phase:

• Phase I: March 13, 2024
• Phase II: April 3, 2024

If Chiori is released in the first phase, her banner will be available as soon as version 4.5 goes live.

Based on the leaks shared by @hxg_diluc, Chiori is a Geo Sub-DPS unit with the potential to deal a ton of damage comparable to even Ayaka and Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst. Furthermore, it is speculated that she scales on both ATK and DEF, and her ascension stat is supposedly CRIT Rate.

Travelers must wait for Genshin Impact 4.5 beta to begin for more detailed kit details.
