✨ 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:

🔮 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.
