Genshin Impact Introduces Yumemizuki Mizuki: A New 5-Star Anemo Character

Genshin Impact has officially revealed Yumemizuki Mizuki, a 5-Star Anemo character from Inazuma, who will debut in Version 5.4. With Version 5.3 expected to conclude the Natlan storyline, players will embark on a short but exciting adventure in Inazuma during the next update. The Flagship Event will focus on the world of yokai, with Yae Miko playing a prominent role.

Mizuki: Inazuma's New Standard Banner Character

Rumors about Mizuki's arrival as a playable character have circulated since late 2024, and her inclusion as Inazuma's first Standard Banner character has now been confirmed through the Version 5.4 beta. A 5-Star Anemo Catalyst user, Mizuki offers a unique blend of crowd control and healing abilities, positioning her as a premium alternative to Sucrose. While Sucrose may outperform Mizuki in specific roles, Mizuki's versatility makes her a strong choice for most Taser team compositions.

The official Genshin Impact Twitter account announced Mizuki a week later than expected, reflecting the unpredictability of the game's drip marketing campaigns since Version 5.3. Her lore reveals her to be a tapir yokai, a psychologist, and the majority owner of Aisa Bathhouse. Additionally, she shares a long-standing friendship with Yae Miko, hinting at her introduction during the upcoming Flagship Event. Players can also look forward to a dedicated Story Quest for Mizuki in Version 5.4.

Event Banners in Version 5.4

Version 5.4 will feature Mizuki and Wriothesley in the first half of the update, followed by Furina and Sigewinne in the second half. After the update, Mizuki will join the Standard Banner pool, so collectors may want to prioritize obtaining her Signature Weapon during the event.

A Smaller Update in Scope

While Version 5.3 is packed with content, Version 5.4 will be more modest in scale. The update introduces only one new character (Mizuki), a Story Quest, and no Artifact Domains or map expansions. Consequently, the Primogem rewards in Version 5.4 will be below average. Players aiming to save resources might want to reserve their Lantern Rite rewards for this update, particularly if they are eyeing popular Fontaine characters like Furina or Wriothesley.
