In a comprehensive breakdown by Jello Impact, we’re offered one of the most thorough and thoughtful speculative roadmaps for Genshin Impact’s future banners and reruns across Versions 5.7 to 6.3 and beyond. While official announcements confirm only a handful of reruns, this guide combines credible leaks, rerun history, and character synergy insights to help players plan their pulls smartly.

Below is a full recap of all confirmed and predicted banners, reruns, and upcoming character debuts you should keep an eye on.

🔥 Confirmed Banners in 5.6 (Second Half)

Raiden Shogun and Kinich will rerun.
- Raiden’s rerun is a bit earlier than expected, but not unwelcome for many.
- Kinich, Natlan’s Dendro 5-star, is right on schedule.

Also active: the Inazuma Chronicled Wish, which includes previously released Inazuma characters and weapons. Just note: this weapon banner has a 10-wish higher pity threshold, making it less appealing than standard weapon banners despite its value-packed lineup.

🧊 5.7 Banner Predictions (Credible Leaks)

According to reputable leakers with accurate past predictions:

Skirk (new 5-star Cryo sword) – confirmed debut.
Shenhe – expected rerun, synergizes decently with Skirk.
- While not her perfect match, Shenhe still acts as Skirk’s best Cryo support when considering 5-star and 4-star units.
Emilie – long-awaited rerun after her debut in 4.8.
Mavuika – surprise rerun; was expected later but now predicted for 5.7.
Dahlia – 4-star Hydro support designed to enable Skirk (notably with Calamity of Eshu weapon conditions).

Shenhe’s rerun makes strategic sense, even if HoYoverse is setting the stage to “power creep” her slightly in 5.8 or later.

💧 5.8 Predictions (Jello’s Personal Speculation)

These are not yet confirmed, but based on historical patterns and synergy needs:

Yelan – highly likely rerun.
- Performs exceptionally well in Escoffier-Furina setups, especially alongside characters like Citlali.
- May be paired with Skirk or a new Hydro unit designed for Freeze/Mono-Hydro teams.
Citlali – expected to rerun here instead of 5.7.
New Hydro character – rumored support or dual DPS character that synergizes with Skirk and Escoffier.

This banner configuration would maximize sales by rerunning strong, versatile characters like Yelan and Citlali before debuting a newer Hydro unit.

🔮 Looking Ahead: Version 6.0 and Beyond

📅 Expected in 6.0

Nahida – overdue for a rerun, making her a prime Archon rerun candidate for 6.0.
Two brand-new 5-star characters – as is standard with each major region debut.
- Jello predicts completely new faces, not characters like Varka, whose design may be shown but won’t release until later in the Nod-Krai arc.
Mualani – strangely absent since her 5.0 debut. Likely to rerun here or in 6.1, though Novallet might take her slot if HoYoverse wants to push 6.0 banner sales harder.
Zhongli – expected Archon rerun, keeping with HoYoverse’s recent trend of having Archons cycle more frequently.

🌊 Other Key 6.X Predictions

Furina and neuvillette rerun separately but close together.
Arlecchino will likely be held for a while before rerunning.
Venti, Xilonen, and Escoffier are all forecasted for 6.3 or later due to recent reruns or current usage dominance.

🧭 Chronicled Wishes & Regional Rotations

HoYoverse is expected to continue region-locked Chronicled Wish banners, including:

Sumeru Chronicled Wish – possibly in 6.0 or 6.1, as Cyno has gone a notably long time without a rerun.
Mondstadt Chronicled Wish – hasn’t appeared in over a year; expected sometime post-Sumeru banner.
Liyue & Fontaine Chronicled Wish – not likely to be repeated soon; those characters may return in regular reruns or new formats.

There’s speculation that HoYoverse may:

Begin adding Chronicled Wish characters to standard banners.
Lower pity requirements for underwhelming Chronicled pools (especially for Mondstadt reruns).
Begin rerunning lesser-used characters more frequently through Chronicled mechanics.

🧊 Additional Characters to Watch For

🌟 Expected or Speculated Playables:

Varka – likely to appear during the Nod-Krai arc, but not in 6.0.
Alice – highly anticipated; could release in Nod-Krai or later, potentially around Lantern Rite.
Madame Ping – has been heavily teased. Her refined older model implies she may debut during a major Liyue festival.
Dottore & Capitano – possible Harbinger banners in the future, depending on Nod-Krai’s narrative focus.

🎯 Pull Smart: How to Use This Info

While nothing beyond 5.6 is officially confirmed, patterns are emerging:

Skirk and Escoffier have fundamentally shifted Cryo team viability.
Characters like Yelan, Shenhe, and Furina are becoming cornerstone supports.
HoYoverse continues to rerun popular Archons consistently—likely to appear in alternating patches.

Plan around synergy, not just hype:

If you’re pulling Skirk, you may need Escoffier, Furina, or Shenhe.
If you want flexibility, Yelan, Nahida, and Zhongli continue to be great value long-term.
