Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Fischl & Xingqiu as 4-Star Banner Picks in Version 5.8

New leaks from the Genshin Impact beta have unveiled that Fischl and Xingqiu will be featured as the 4-Star characters on the Version 5.8 Event Banners. As the final patch in the Natlan era, this update not only brings key reruns like Mualani, but also introduces the first character from Nod-Krai: Ineffa, an Electro-Charged specialist who enhances the reaction with a unique twist. With a heavy Electro-Charged theme, Version 5.8’s content is clearly built to showcase this mechanic. ⚡💧


🌀 Electro-Charged Takes Center Stage in 5.8

Both the Spiral Abyss and Stygian Onslaught challenges in Version 5.8 are tailored to favor Electro-Charged teams. Without a properly built setup, players may find themselves at a serious disadvantage. Thankfully, characters like Ororon and Ifa—introduced during the Natlan cycle—serve as solid alternatives to Ineffa for building effective reaction-based teams.

To make this element combo more accessible, Version 5.8 is expected to feature Fischl and Xingqiu in its banners, giving players budget-friendly Electro-Charged synergy. These classic 4-Stars have remained top picks for many endgame team comps despite their early-game availability.

According to well-known leaker HomDGCat, beta combat trials for Fischl and Xingqiu were updated in the latest build—strongly indicating their role as featured 4-Stars in 5.8.


🔥 Confirmed Banner Characters in Genshin Impact Version 5.8

⭐ 5-Star Characters:

  • Ineffa – Electro Polearm
  • Mualani – Hydro Catalyst
  • Chasca – Anemo Bow
  • Citlali – Cryo Catalyst

✨ 4-Star Characters (Leaked):

  • Fischl – Electro Bow
  • Xingqiu – Hydro Sword

While the exact banner order hasn’t been confirmed, it's likely that Fischl and Xingqiu will appear in the same phase as Ineffa to complement her Electro-Charged playstyle.

🧥 New Skin, More Surprises

Bennett is also expected to receive a new skin during this patch, making him a strong candidate for a banner appearance—possibly in the opposite half alongside Chasca and Citlali, with whom he has good synergy.

There’s also speculation that Ifa or Sucrose could join the 4-Star lineup. With characters like Iansan setting the trend for quick reruns, it's possible that Ifa could return after just two patches. Either would round out a highly effective budget Electro-Charged team built around Fischl and Xingqiu.
