She is a Cryo sub-DPS, while her brother might be a five-star Hydro DPS. The siblings should synergize well during combat and players would love to see them in concurrent banners.Yoimiya, on the other hand, has gradually gained the attention of players. The Pyro bow character is now becoming a part of the influential team compositions used in the Spiral Abyss.As for Ayato, leakers have pointed out that his banner is planned for the first half of the 2.6 update. Ubatcha further added that Heizou will be the featured four-star character in Ayato's banner in a questionable leak.Lumie@lumie_lumieA little told me Ayato will be the first of 2.612:38 PM · Jan 23, 2022336362811A little 🐦 told me Ayato will be the first of 2.6Heizou is still a mysterious character.

From the looks of it, it might be postponed to patch 2.7 or later.Genshhin Impact version 2.4 is live, and Liyue is celebrating the Lantern Rite festival.
