There have been many 4.2 leaks and rumors ahead of the announcement and release of the official version. The leaks detail character releases, their skill sets, banner reruns, and even new opponent additions to the title, which has just entered its third year of content with the release of the Nation of Justice. There was a mass influx of leaks about Fontaine before the region was even released, and most of it extended far into updates that would come after Version 4.0. An example, for instance, was the leak that pointed out the release of Neuvillette in 4.1 even before Version 4.0 came out.
Although most leaks have been focused on new playable characters, there have also been leaks about new regions and opponents with upcoming versions. Often, leaks and rumors about future updates also mention events, related rewards, and even new weapons.

Nevertheless, the most recent leaks about the popular action RPG have proven to be more reliable than usual, even if they should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Furina being a sword user has been somewhat confirmed in a video shared by on Twitter.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was introduced as an NPC before the arrival of Fontaine and is finally making her way into the game as a playable character in Version 4.2. The leaks about Charlotte in indicate that she will be a 4-star character. She is known to possess a Cryo Vision, but her weapon of choice is still officially unknown. Leaks suggest that she uses a catalyst, which means she may be the second Cryo-catalyst character in the game, following the release of Wriothesley in 4.1.
Along with the new characters Furina and Charlotte, the limited-time banners in 4.2 will host rerun characters, as is common in every patch. While Furina is expected to be the new 5-star hero featured in Phase 1, the other character banner during the first half of the update is rumored to be Baizhu.
