Leaked Genshin Impact 4.3 banner line-up and schedule

SYP is one of the most reliable sources in the community, and they have confirmed that the recent banner leaks are true. Here is a list of all the characters that are expected to be featured on the Event Wishes in version 4.3:

Phase I (December 20, 2023 - January 10, 2024):

• Navia (5-star Geo)
• Kamisato Ayaka (5-star Cryo).

Phase II (January 10 - January 31, 2024):

• Yoimiya (5-star Pyro)
• Raiden Shogun (5-star Electro)

Unfortunately, Chevreuse's release date is still currently unknown. In any case, Navia is the only new 5-star in version 4.3. Meanwhile, all the other characters are from Inazuma. Assuming the leaks are accurate, this will be Ayaka and Raiden Shogun's third rerun banner, while Yoimiya will likely get her fourth.

More details will be revealed during the Genshin Impact 4.3 Special Program, which is expected to be livestreamed on December 8, 2023.
