Genshin Impact Unveils Top Characters for Phase 2 in the 4.5 Spiral Abyss

Genshin Impact players will be able to unlock Gorou by completing the main event in 4.6. With version 4.6 of Genshin Impact now imminent, the HoYo team has revealed all the new content included in the latest update. It's confirmed that Arlecchino and Lyney will have an increased drop rate for three weeks. As in previous versions, a roster of weapons and four-star reruns will be added to limited-time banners.

Genshin Impact Version 4.7 will feature three new playable characters, as Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos will join the rest of the cast in the upcoming update. As the Fontaine era slowly comes to a close in Genshin Impact, the 5-Star characters released during its patches will likely be remembered for providing new depth to old gameplay. New mechanics such as Hit Point fluctuation and the Bond of Life have come to define the Fontaine roster, whereas Navia reinvented Crystallize as an Elemental Reaction all by her lonesome.

Genshin Impact has unveiled the Event Banners for the first half of Version 4.6, and it comes with a surprising change to its 4-Star character lineup. While 5-Star characters in Genshin Impact tend to be the biggest factor in determining an Event Banner’s popularity, certain 4-Star characters are much more valuable for starter accounts than others. More often than not, these happen to be 4-Star characters released near the launch of the game, such as Fischl or Xingqiu, whereas the newer additions tend to fill a certain niche.

Following the debut of an animated short featuring Arlecchino, Genshin Impact has released a character teaser to herald the arrival of the third playable Fatui Harbinger to the Event Banners. Wanderer and Tartaglia will be joined by Arlecchino in Version 4.6, who will also launch with a Story Quest and Trounce Domain, in what many players consider to be one of the biggest updates in Genshin Impact history. She will accompany Lyney on the Event Banners in the first half of the patch, while the second half will feature Baizhu and Wanderer.

A recent leak from the Genshin Impact community has revealed which 4-Star characters will accompany Arlecchino and Lyney in the first half of Version 4.6.

A fan-made Genshin Impact chart shows five-star characters that have gone the longest without receiving a rerun. Genshin Impact usually brings at least two limited-time banners in every version, promoting a roster of characters and weapons. The thing about these banners is that they remain available for two weeks, which means players must spend their Intertwined Fates on them without wasting time.

Genshin Impact has confirmed that the upcoming Special Program for Version 4.6 will be held on April 12. HoYoverse's livestream events are usually held approximately two weeks before a new update arrives, and they reveal most of the upcoming content including new characters, weapons, and regions.
