Genshin Impact 6.0 Leaks Reveal Full 4-Star Banner Lineup

Dataminers have uncovered the full lineup of 4-Star characters set to appear on Genshin Impact's Version 6.0 Event Banners, and it’s shaping up to be a strong patch for both newcomers and returning players.

✨ Sucrose, Dori, Aino, Kaveh, and Kuki Shinobu are expected to join the banners alongside highly anticipated new 5-Stars Lauma, Aino, and Flins — all debuting with the launch of Nod-Krai, Teyvat’s newest region, on September 10.

🧭 What to Expect in Version 6.0

The introductory patch for Nod-Krai will unveil three new playable characters:

• 🌿 Lauma (5★ Dendro Catalyst) – introduces a new Lunar-Bloom mechanic, turning Bloom Cores into Dendro-based projectiles, akin to Navia’s Crystallize bullets.
• ⚡ Flins (5★ Electro Polearm) – an Electro hypercarry designed around the Lunar-Charged reaction, synergizing well with Yelan, Furina, Sucrose, and Ineffa.
• 💧 Aino (4★ Hydro Claymore) – offers Hydro application and buffs Lunar reactions but does not trigger them directly.

🌟 Confirmed 6.0 Banner Characters

Here’s the full list of leaked banner characters coming in Version 6.0:

🔶 5-Star Characters:

• Lauma – Dendro Catalyst
• Nahida – Dendro Catalyst (Sumeru Chronicled Banner hinted)
• Flins – Electro Polearm
• Yelan – Hydro Bow

🔷 4-Star Characters:

• Aino – Hydro Claymore
• Sucrose – Anemo Catalyst
• Kuki Shinobu – Electro Sword
• Kaveh – Dendro Claymore
• Dori – Electro Claymore

According to sources like HomDGCat, these 4-Star characters will be distributed across both halves of the update.

🧪 Which 4-Stars Stand Out?

Among the 4-Star characters, Sucrose and Kuki Shinobu stand out as top-tier support picks:

• Sucrose continues to shine due to Elemental Mastery scaling, making her an ideal teammate for Flins and other Lunar-Charged reaction teams.
• Kuki Shinobu remains a cornerstone of Hyperbloom teams, thanks to her strong Electro application and healing.

🗓️ Banner Order Predictions

While the exact banner order isn’t confirmed, some likely patterns are emerging:

• Aino was confirmed for the first half of Version 6.0 during her drip marketing in early August.
• Lauma will also appear in the first half, possibly accompanied by Kuki Shinobu and Kaveh.
• That would place Sucrose and Dori in the second half with Flins. A placeholder 4-Star like Barbara may also join to round out the second phase.

🎁 Free Aino & Early Kit Reactions

Players will receive a free copy of Aino during Version 6.0. Early impressions of her abilities are promising — she buffs Lunar-Charged teams, applies consistent Hydro, and could become a useful support pick in Nod-Krai-themed compositions.

📅 Mark your calendars:Genshin Impact Version 6.0 officially launches on September 10, bringing a new region, new characters, and a fresh chapter of elemental mechanics.
