Genshin Impactupdates always have two banner cycles that feature various limited characters and weapons. Each character banner includes one or two five-star characters as well as three four-stars. Limited banners last for three to four weeks and players who plan to pull for Raiden Shogun or Sangonomiya Kokomi should do it as soon as possible, considering that update 2.6 is just around the corner.
The officialGenshin Impact2.6 livestream has confirmed three five-star characters that will receive their limited banner: Ayato, Venti, and Ayaka. RecentGenshin Impactleaks have apparently revealed the four-star characters that will join Ayato and Venti on the first banner cycle.

In a tweet, a credibleGenshin Impactleaker named GenshinBLANK has revealed the four-star characters coming in theupcomingGenshin Impactdouble banner. The characters include Yun Jin, Sucrose, and Xiangling, and they will arrive alongside the Venti and Ayato double banner. Pity will be shared between the two banners, which means that players should have the same chance to acquire a limited character by pulling on both banners at the same time.
Yun Jin is a famous opera singer, and she plays a major role in the Lantern Rite event, where she joined the Traveler and Shenhe as they helped Ningguang rebuild the legendary Jade Chamber. Yun Jin is the latest four-star character that joinedGenshin Impact’splayable roster. She arrived at the same banner as Shenhe back in update 2.4. Her greatest potential lies in buffing other characters, and she’s considered to be a great fit for thepopular Geo party trend.
Over the last year, Xiangling has probably become the most usedfree-to-play character inGenshin Impact. Players take advantage of her Elemental Burst, which remains on the field even if she’s swapped out. This Burst can trigger various elemental reactions, which lead most players to stack Pyro damage on Xiangling. Players can get this four-star Pyro character for free after reaching Adventure Rank 20 and surpassing Floor 3 of the Spiral Abyss.
Sucrose is another support in this four-star lineup, and since her release, she has been considered to be a weaker version of the Anemo Archon Venti as they fill a similar role in a team composition. She has the ability to lower enemies' resistances which is very useful, especially in the game’s end-game content. Sucrose can also generate tons of energy particles which helps outstrong DPS characterslike Xiao.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
