Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Charlotte’s Return in Version 5.4 Banners
After 461 days of absence, Charlotte is finally making a comeback in Genshin Impact Version 5.4. According to leaks, she will appear alongside Furina and Wriothesley in the second half of the update. Fans have long criticized the game’s banner system for neglecting newer characters, and Charlotte’s delayed return is a prime example.
Version 5.4 Banner Characters Revealed
Here’s a breakdown of the Genshin Impact 5.4 Event Banners based on leaks:
First Half (February 14 – March 4, 2025)
- Mizuki – 5-Star Anemo Catalyst
- Sigewinne – 5-Star Hydro Bow
- Sayu – 4-Star Anemo Claymore
- Xiangling – 4-Star Pyro Polearm
- Gorou – 4-Star Geo Bow
Second Half (March 4 – March 25, 2025)
- Wriothesley – 5-Star Cryo Catalyst
- Furina – 5-Star Hydro Sword
- Charlotte – 4-Star Cryo Catalyst
- Mika – 4-Star Cryo Polearm
- Chongyun – 4-Star Cryo Claymore
Interestingly, the second half of Version 5.4 is packed with Cryo characters, making it an exciting lineup for Freeze team enthusiasts.
Charlotte’s Role and Team Synergy
Charlotte is a strong 4-star Cryo support who works exceptionally well with Furina and Wriothesley. Her healing ability syncs perfectly with Furina’s Elemental Skill, while her Cryo application makes her a great choice for Freeze teams featuring Wriothesley. Additionally, Charlotte offers build flexibility, allowing players to focus on either healing or offense.
For those who don’t pull Charlotte, Mika serves as an alternative Cryo support for Wriothesley, though his Cryo application is weaker.
A Long-Awaited Rerun for Charlotte Fans
Charlotte made her debut in Version 4.2, and since then, she has been missing from Event Banners. While the Liyue Chronicled Banner temporarily addressed some concerns about character reruns, issues persist for Inazuma and Fontaine characters. Many players feel that Genshin Impact’s banner system favors older 4-star units, like Bennett, Xiangling, and Noelle, over newer ones.
With Charlotte’s long-awaited return, Wriothesley’s first rerun since Version 4.1, and Furina’s second appearance, the second half of Version 5.4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated banners of 2025.
