Now that the Version 5.6 livestream has officially revealed all upcoming characters, it’s time to look ahead to what we might expect in Version 5.7. Although no official announcements have been made yet, Zhongli’s Realm offers some compelling predictions based on Hoyoverse’s consistent patterns.
Here’s a breakdown of what characters you might want to start saving Primogems for in Version 5.7!
🧊 Skirk: The Main Headliner of 5.7?
The character Skirk has been heavily rumored for months, and leakers previously confirmed she would debut as a Cryo character.
- Cryo element: Check ✅
- Expected in 5.7: Based on all early leaks, it looks almost certain.
If you’ve been following the lore, you’ll know Skirk has been long-anticipated ever since she was first teased during Childe’s story. She is expected to have strong synergy with other Cryo and Hydro units, especially newer ones like Escoffier.
Many players are preparing for her release — but a word of caution: Skirk may require synergy with characters like Escoffier to reach her full potential!
🔥 MavuiKa: Archon Rerun Following the Traditional Pattern
Mavuika, the Pyro Archon from Natlan, made her first appearance in Version 5.3. Following Hoyoverse’s well-established pattern:
- Archon first reruns always occur four patches after their debut.
- All previous Archons (Venti, Zhongli, Raiden, Nahida) had reruns in the second phase of their fourth patch cycle.
MavuiKa should appear in Version 5.7 Phase 2, if the pattern holds true. If you’re a fan of her high-energy playstyle, this could be your chance to pull for her if you missed her during her original banner.
🌊 Mualani: Strong Possibility for a Rerun Too
Another character with high odds for a rerun is Mualani.
- She debuted in Version 5.0 alongside Kinich.
- With Kinich now receiving a rerun in 5.6, it makes sense that Mualani might return soon too.
Hoyoverse tends to rerun characters who launched together within close proximity of each other, keeping banner rotations smooth.
If Mualani returns, it would give players a second chance at this versatile Hydro catalyst user.
🌪️ Wanderer: Long Overdue for a Return?
The final predicted rerun is Wanderer (formerly Scaramouche).
- His last rerun occurred back in Version 4.6.
- By the time 5.7 rolls around, it will have been over a full year.
Hoyoverse typically doesn’t let popular five-stars like Wanderer go without a rerun for so long unless they’re saving them for a big story event — and so far, nothing suggests that’s the case.
Given his enduring popularity and strong performance as an Anemo DPS, a Wanderer rerun in Version 5.7 seems very likely.
🎯 Summary of Predictions for Version 5.7
| Character | Reason for Appearance | Phase Prediction |
|---|---|---|
| Skirk | New Cryo DPS debut | Phase 1 |
| MavuiKa | First Archon rerun (Pattern) | Phase 2 |
| Mualani | Kinich’s rerun suggests her return | Phase 1 or 2 |
| Wanderer | Overdue rerun after 1 year | Phase 1 or 2 |
🔥 Final Thoughts: Should You Start Saving?
While nothing is confirmed, Zhongli’s Realm makes a strong case that Version 5.7 could feature Skirk, MavuiKa, Mualani, and Wanderer.
If you’re planning your Primogem savings, it’s smart to prepare ahead, especially if you want to grab powerful characters like Skirk or MavuiKa.
But remember: Hoyoverse can always surprise us with unexpected changes!
