Genshin Impact: Leak reveals 2.8 banner characters, ft Kazuha rerun
Last Updated on: 24th June 2022, 08:34 am
The first banner of the upcoming Genshin Impact patch version 2.8 has fallen to another leak, this time revealing both featured 5* characters.
Who is in the Genshin Impact 2.8 banner according to the leak?
This leak from Lumie on Twitter states that we can expect a double banner in the first half of 2.8, featuring both Klee and Kazuha running at the same time. While Kazuha has been rumored for some time and was largely expected, Klee is a bit more of a surprise – though not that surprising, which I’ll get to in a short moment.
The weapons for the first 2.8 weapon banner will be Lost Prayer and Freedom Sworn as per the same leak.
Following that, we have a good idea of what to expect from the 4* characters. We do know that Fischl is supposedly getting a skin around this time alongside Diluc, and that various things aligned to imply upcoming Fischl content sometime soon on top of that.
So we might see Fischl in the first half banner as a featured 4* character, but who else is making an appearance?
Well, if the Summer Fantasia art that leaked the other day is any indication, we can probably expect to be seeing Xinyan during this patch as well, making her a possible second character.
Leaving a slot open that aligns with a previous leak, also from Lumie on Twitter, that states the upcoming character Heizou will be making an appearance as a 4* in this banner.
So with Klee and Kazuha, we have both featured five-star characters for the first half of the Genshin 2.8 banner thanks to this leak, and thanks to various previous leaks we know we should probably see Fischl, Xinyan, and Heizou.
Those 5 combined give us two separate featured banner characters and a full set of 4* characters to go with them, making this a likely lineup for the first half of the patch.
The second half of the patch is currently unknown, though there are rumors of a Yoimiya rerun upcoming lately.
Additionally, the presence of a Diluc skin possibly releasing on the same patch that Mona appears in the version art of implies HoYoVerse may be planning something with the standard banner 5* characters, but as that hasn’t been done before and has no leaks to back it up, that can only be speculation, for now.
