New limited characters in Genshin Impact are probably the main event each patch. Luckily, HoYoverse is terrible at keeping secrets from us, which is why we can plan ahead and take a look at all the upcoming Fontaine characters until version 4.8!
Genshin Impact's new region Fontaine has been around for a few months now, and we've had some super dope looking new 5-Star characters!
And knowing HoYoverse, this ain't changing! But unless you're willing to spend a lot of money on the game, you should really think ahead about which of the upcoming characters are must-haves for you!
Check out the recently leaked roadmap!
Genshin Impact: New 5-Star Character Roadmap Leaked
Genshin Impact is following the same update and character release schedule ever since it's been live, featuring an entirely new version every six weeks and new limited banner character banners every three weeks!
The currently available 5-Star characters are Arlecchino and Lyney. Needless to say, I don't want to offend Lyney at this point, but he probably won't get much attention during this banner. Many players were waiting for weeks or even months to finally pull Arlecchino and now, it's finally time!
Their banner starts on April 24, 2024, and will end on May 15, 2024!
| 📌 Arlecchino Overview | |
| Banner Start: | April 24, 2024 |
| Element & Weapon: | Pyro / Polearm |
| Rarity: | 5-Star |
| Pre Release Ranking: | S-Tier |
Arlecchino is the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the current director of the House of the Hearth. She is addressed as “Father” by members of the house, whom she calls her “children”.
Let's take a look at all the upcoming banners, shall we?
V. 4.6 Banner
I know, many of you were waiting for this exact day: It's Arlecchino time!
First Half:
| Character | Type & Element | Banner Star Date |
| Arlecchino | Polearm/Pyro | April 24, 2024 |
| Lyney | Bow/Pyro | April 24, 2024 |
| Lynette | Sword/Anemo | April 24, 2024 |
| Xiangling | Polearm/Pyro | April 24, 2024 |
| Freminet | Claymore/Cryo | April 24, 2024 |
It's finally time for Arlecchino, and she really looks to be an insane main DPS character with some stunning animations! Especially her weapon looks quite unite and is definitely worth your Primogems!
Second Half:
| Character | Type & Element | Banner Start Date |
| Baizhu | Catalyst/Denro | May 15, 2024 |
| Wanderer | Catalyst/Anemo | May 15, 2024 |
| Faruzan | Bow/Anemo | May 15, 2024 |
| Heizou | Catalyst/Anemo | May 15, 2024 |
| Kaveh | Claymore/Dendro | May 15, 2024 |
This second phase is really a weird one, and I don't think many are looking forward to pull for either of these units, especially not after the Arlecchino banner! However, if I had to make a decision, I'd get myself a Baizhu because I love healers!
V 4.7 Banner
Now, we are getting in quite speculative territory, however, it looks like version 4.7 will feature two pretty amazing new 5-Star characters!
First Half:
| Character | Type & Element | Banner Start Date |
| Clorinde | Sword/Electro | June 5, 2024 |
| Wriothesley | Catalyst/Cryo | June 5, 2024 |
| Sethos | ?/Electro | June 5, 2024 |
We are waiting since forever for Clorinde's banner to drop! Could it finally be time?
Second Half:
| Character | Type & Element | Banner Start Date |
| Sigewinne | Bow/Hydro | June 26, 2024 |
| Shenhe | Polearm/Cryo | June 26, 2024 |
