Current Genshin Impact leaks involve banners from Versions 4.2 to 4.8. That's several months' worth of characters who have had their general release windows leaked. A few reruns for 4.2 and 4.3 have also been unveiled online. The content found in leaks isn't always 100% accurate. However, there is a good chance that some of the details described by the leakers below could have some truth to them — given their track records.

This article will cover all the known information about upcoming banners that have been leaked for Versions 4.2 to 4.8. Various credible sources such as Uncle SH, Hutao Lover, and Merlin Impact will be referenced below with regard to the details surrounding some new characters and their potential release versions.

According to the recent Version 4.2 leaks, it would appear as though the current banner schedule is as follows:

  • 2nd Half: Ayato and Cyno as the 5-stars, with Kuki Shinobu, Xiangling, and Kirara as the featured 4-stars

Leakers hxg_diluc and Full Stop Chan are the ones behind this information. It is currently confirmed that Furina and Charlotte will be in the 4.2 patch since they appear as playable characters in the 4.2 beta.

According to the official announcement from HoYoverse, the version 4.3 banners will feature the following:

  • 1st Half: Navia and Kamisato Ayaka as the 5-stars
  • 2nd Half: Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya as the 5-stars, with Chevreuse as the featured 4-stars

Navia has been revealed to be a 5-star Geo Claymore user who specializes in the Crystallize Elemental Reaction, while Chevreuse is a 4-star Pyro Polearm who is designed to be a Pyro and Electro support.

HoYoverse has revealed the banner schedule for Genshin Impact's version 4.4. The following characters are slated to appear in this update:

  • 1st Half: Xianyun and Nahida as the 5-stars, and Gaming as a 4-star
  • 2nd Half: Xiao and Yae Miko as the 5-stars

Xianyun aka Cloud Retainer will be the new 5-star planned for this update and she can use the Anemo element. Furthermore, it is worth noting that Gaming aka Lion Dance Boy will also appear in the 4.4 update as a 4-star Pyro unit.

Moreover, a new type of banner called Chronicled Wish will also be introduced in v4.5 and offers several 5-star characters from Mondstadt and 5-star weapons.


Genshin Impact 4.6 banners

HoYoverse has confirmed that the much anticipated Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino, will debut in version 4.6. She will be from the Pyro element and wield a Polearm as her weapon. Here is the banner schedule:

  • 1st Half: Arlecchino and Lyney as the 5-stars
  • 2nd Half: Wanderer and Baizhu as the 5-stars

Arlecchino is known to be featured on the first-half banners alongside Lyney, whereas, the second half will see the return of the former Fatui Harbinger, Wanderer, and Baizhu.


Genshin Impact 4.7 banners

According to the latest leaks provided by Azure leaks, Version 4.7 will feature two new 5-star characters, Sigewinne and Clorinde. Moreover, a new 4-star named Sethos will also make his debut. Let's look at the 4.7 banner schedule:

  • 1st Half: Clorinde and Wriothesley as the 5-stars, and Sethos as a 4-star
  • 2nd Half: Sigewinne and Navia as the 5-stars

Sigewinne is expected to be a Hydro Bow user who will be ideal in Electro-Charged teams. She may be a sub-DPS who can also heal her teammates.

As for Clorinde, leaks have suggested that she will be an Electro sub-DPS. She will also be able to regenerate energy, similar to Raiden Shogun.


Genshin Impact 4.8 banners

Version 4.8 supposedly exists, with the only known new character planned for it being Emilie. She's a famous perfume designer in the game lore, yet there is little to mention about her based on what's been leaked thus far.

It is worth noting that this roadmap from Hutao Lover is older than the one Uncle SH posted. However, it shares the same characters except for Emilie. Any 4-stars the last Fontaine Version Updates might see are yet to be revealed, so missing characters like Mummy Girl could potentially show up in a later leak once those patches are closer to being released.
