Genshin Impact Reveals Version 5.2 Banners and Exciting New Characters

New Characters and Returning Favorites in Version 5.2

Genshin Impact's Version 5.2 update is set to launch on November 20, 2024, bringing a fresh lineup of Event Banners featuring new and returning characters. The highly anticipated new characters, Chasca and Ororon, will join fan-favorites like Lyney, Neuvillette, and Zhongli in the upcoming banners. Players can expect exciting new gameplay mechanics, unique abilities, and strategic opportunities to enhance their rosters.

First Half of Version 5.2: Chasca, Ororon, and Lyney

The first half of Version 5.2 banners will spotlight Chasca and Lyney, supported by Sucrose, Barbara, and the newly introduced Ororon. Each character brings distinct playstyles:

• Chasca: The first Rainbow character in Genshin Impact, Chasca can deal multiple types of Elemental Damage based on party composition. As an Anemo DPS, she excels at aerial combat, using her Elemental Skill to stay airborne and unleash devastating Charged Attacks. Her Elemental Burst delivers AoE Anemo damage that converts based on the Elemental Types in the party.

• Ororon: This tall male Electro off-field DPS character introduces unique mechanics reminiscent of Fischl. Ororon’s Elemental Burst summons a totem that taunts enemies and deals continuous Electro damage, while his passive talents amplify damage during Electro-Charged reactions.

Second Half of Version 5.2: Neuvillette and Zhongli Return

The second half of the update will feature reruns of Neuvillette and Zhongli, supported by Fischl, Yao Yao, and Shikanoin Heizou. This marks a welcome return for Heizou, who hasn’t appeared since Version 3.7. Fans of Fischl will also benefit from additional Constellations, enhancing her off-field Electro capabilities.
