Genshin Impact Reveals Full Event Banner Lineup for Version 5.8

HoYoverse has officially confirmed the Event Wishes for Genshin Impact Version 5.8, and there’s a lot for players to be excited about! The first half of the update will feature Ineffa and Citlali, while Chasca and Mualani take the spotlight in the second half. 🌟

With a brand-new summer zone, seasonal event content, fresh outfits, and the continuation of the Archon Quest, Version 5.8 is already packed — but as always, the characters are the real stars.

⚔️ Ineffa Joins the Fight as a 5-Star Electro Polearm

Introducing Ineffa, a new 5-Star Electro Polearm user and the first true Electro shielder since Beidou. Her user-friendly kit, combined with defensive utility, positions her as a promising long-term investment — even if her initial numbers aren’t as flashy as Escoffier’s. ⚡

Even better? Version 6.0 will introduce an artifact set tailored to Ineffa, further enhancing her potential in Lunar Reaction teams — especially as Nod-Krai deepens elemental strategy. 🌙

🎉 Version 5.8 Event Wish Schedule

• Phase 1 (July 30): Ineffa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + Citlali ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Phase 2 (Late August): Chasca ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + Mualani ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This lineup perfectly bridges the end of the Natlan era and the start of Nod-Krai, with each character thematically tied to both regions. Interestingly, this leaves Varesa as the only Natlan character still waiting on a rerun — perhaps being saved for something big? 👀

⭐ 4-Star & Weapon Banner Predictions

HoYoverse hasn’t officially revealed the 4-Star units, but leaks and logic offer some strong guesses:

• Likely 4-Stars:Bennett, who’s getting a new skin in Version 5.8 🔥
• Xingqiu and Fischl, datamined as part of the first half 🎯

As for the Weapon Banners, players can expect:

• Chasca’s Signature Bow 🎯
• Citlali’s Catalyst 📘

Still, with Lauma revealed as the second playable Nod-Krai character and Version 6.0 looming, many Travelers may want to save their Primogems for what’s ahead. A smart move could be to focus on building a team around one Lunar Reaction as we move deeper into Nod-Krai’s elemental dynamics. 🌌

📅 Version 5.8 Launch & What’s Next

• Launch Date: July 30, 2025
• Beta Testing for Nod-Krai: Begins the same day!

Whether you're pulling for Ineffa or waiting for what Version 6.0 brings, Version 5.8 is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in Genshin Impact’s journey. 🌍✨
