EveryGenshin Impactupdate consists of two different banners that can be obtainable for a limited time. The official livestream forGenshin Impact2.5 has officially confirmed the arrival of the long-awaited Electro Catalyst, Yae Miko.
Update 2.6 was the first time Hoyoverse introduced a double banner mechanic, meaning that players will have the chance to opt for two banners at the same time. This is probably miHoYo’s way of compensating for the absence of a brand-new five-star character in a banner cycle.

Genshin Impacthas introduced a pattern of revealing new characters a couple of weeks before their arrival, probably because they would be leaked either way once the beta phase arrives. The official Version 2.5 live stream has confirmed that thenewGenshin Impactcharacter Yae Mikowill be featured on the first banner cycle of the upcoming update. A popular leaker named Mia has apparently unveiled all the characters and items that will be featured on update. The first banner cycle will supposedly feature the following characters:
When it comes to the weapon banner, Genshin Impact update 2.5 should include the following items:
The officialGenshin ImpactTwitter account has also confirmed another character by the name Kamisato Ayato, who is supposedly scheduled to arrive in update 2.6. When Ayato’s voice was teased in an official video, fans went wild with the theory that his arrival might be sooner than expected. From his official character art, his weapon of choice appears to be a sword.PreviousGenshin Impactleakshave revealed that his Elemental skill is named Shuumatsu Art, and it allows Ayato to dash sideways while casting an empty shell of himself that taunts enemies.
A part of the community thinks that it’s quite ironic that Fischl is paired with Yae Miko on the same banner considering that a recentGenshin Impactleak revealed a damage comparisonbetween those two. The leak claims that Fischl with all constellations outperforms Yae Miko’s C0 level, which is quite surprising considering that Yae has a higher rarity. However, it should be noted that these numbers were taken before Yae received a set of significant buffs. Fischl is one of the strongest sub-DPS or support characters in the game, and fans are excited that she will be featured on a limited banner.
Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
