Here's a list of all the 4-star characters who will be on Ineffa's banner in Genshin Impact 5.8:

• Sethos (Electro - Bow)
• Xingqiu (Hydro - Sword)
• Fischl (Electro - Bow)

While Sethos may not be the best 4-star Electro unit in the game, Xingqiu and Fischl are amazing sub-DPS units, making the 4-star lineup fairly good. Pulling a new or extra copy should help your account unless you already have them at C6.

These are all the weapons that will be on rate up during the first half of the update:

• Fractured Halo (5-star Polearm)
• Starcaller's Watch (5-star Catalyst)
• Sturdy Bone (4-star Sword)
• Mountain-Bracing Bolt (4-star Polearm)
• Sacrificial Greatsword (4-star Claymore)
• Favonius Codex (4-star Catalyst)
• Favonius Warbow (4-star Bow)

Fractured Halo is Ineffa's signature 5-star weapon. It is currently also the only Polearm that buffs the new Lunar-Charged reaction. Meanwhile, Starcaller's Watch is Citlali's signature weapon and will also be on the banner during the first half.

Unfortunately, the 4-star weapons on the Event Wish are not that great, especially the limited ones, since they don't provide many benefits, and not many characters can use them.
