Genshin Impact 5.2 Banners

The first half of Genshin Impact Version 5.2 will feature character banners for Chasca (5-star Anemo Bow) and Lyney (5-star Pyro Bow). They will be accompanied by the 4-star Electro Bow character Ororon. The weapon banners will feature Chasca’s 5-star signature Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage, as well as Lyney’s signature The First Great Magic.

The banners in the second half of Genshin Impact 5.2 will rerun Zhongli (5-star Geo Polearm) and Neuvillette (5-star Hydro Catalyst). The weapon banner will include Neuvillette’s signature Catalyst Tome of the Eternal Flow. The other 5-star weapon will probably be Staff of Homa, though there’s a small chance for Vortex Vanquisher instead.

Two new 4-star weapons will make their debut on the weapon banners: Waveriding Whirl (Catalyst) and Flower-Wreathed Feathers (Bow). It’s still unconfirmed whether they will run in the first half or the second.

New characters: Chasca and Ororon

Chasca and Ororon have featured prominently in Genshin Impact’s story in Natlan, and now, they join the playable roster. The special program revealed some new information about how these characters will play.

Chasca is a 5-star Anemo Bow character who’s really neither Anemo nor a Bow user. Her attacks infuse different elements based on Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo teammates, so Chasca deals mixed-element “rainbow” damage instead of just Anemo. And although she equips a Bow, Chasca actually summons a giant revolver which she rides like a flying steed and fires like a shotgun. Chasca looks to be a unique on-field DPS who focuses on mixed-element damage.

Ororon is a 4-star Electro Bow character who deals off-field Electro damage using his Skill and Burst. His kit incentivizes Electro-Charged teams utilizing Electro and Hydro characters. It sounds like he’ll be a possible alternative to Fischl in Electro-Charged teams that require Nightsoul mechanics. Ororon has the ability to leap high into the air before gliding slowly to the ground, and if you enter aiming mode while in the air, Ororon can hover in place.

Genshin Impact’s Xbox release and special wings

With Version 5.2, Genshin Impact will be available to play on Xbox Series X|S. Travelers logging into Genshin Impact on Xbox will receive a new pair of green wings (Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined), as well as two Intertwined Fates and a Northlander Billet Trove. Going forward, Xbox users will receive additional exclusive goodies with each patch, consisting of Fates/Primogems and other upgrade materials.

Users on other platforms won’t receive the Fates and other materials, but they can still get the Xbox wings! During Version 5.3, everyone logging into Genshin Impact on any platform will receive the Xbox wings in their mailbox. This only lasts through Version 5.3, going away once 5.4 rolls around. However, Xbox users will be able to claim the wings anytime by logging in on their Xbox Series X|S.
