According to Chibi Harbinger Ajax on YouTube, the livestream is locked in for April 25 at 8 a.m. UTC-4 and will be broadcast on the official Genshin Impact Twitch and YouTube channels. As usual, the stream will feature the adorable chibi versions of fan-favorite characters revealing what’s next for Teyvat.

Make sure to tune in live or catch a recap soon after—the Primogem redemption codes expire fast, often within 12–24 hours!


✨ Livestream Primogem Codes

As always, the livestream will drop three limited-time codes, totaling 300 Primogems plus bonus materials. These are usually revealed during the stream and are only valid for a short time, so be ready to redeem them either:

💡 Tip: Set an alarm or follow creators like Chibi Harbinger Ajax to grab the codes ASAP when they drop!

Additionally, Ajax points out that two currently active codes (worth 60 and 50 Primogems) are still available for some players—so if you haven’t redeemed them yet, check your in-game mailbox or HoYoLAB for the latest.


🔮 Version 5.6 Banner Lineup Preview

📌 Phase 1 (Expected)

  • Escoffier (5-Star Cryo Support) – Debut Banner
  • Kinich (5-Star Dendro DPS) – Rerun
  • Ifa (4-Star Anemo Catalyst) – New 4-Star Character

📌 Phase 2 (Expected)

  • Raiden Shogun (5-Star Electro Archon) – Rerun
  • Navia (5-Star Geo DPS) – Rerun

Escoffier and Ifa are brand-new characters expected to bring exciting team synergy options. Escoffier, in particular, is already generating buzz as Skirk’s best support, while Ifa’s flexible kit could make him a new favorite among free-to-play players.

🧊 Escoffier is expected to offer powerful Cryo application, healing, and resistance shred—ideal for Freeze and Mono Cryo teams.

While the stream’s focus will be on the new characters and banners, fans can also look forward to:

  • New events, likely with limited-time minigames
  • Possible weekly boss reveal
