Rumor: Genshin Impact Unexpectedly Changing Its Banner Order for Fontaine

A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing a major change coming to the game's Treasure Compass Gadgets, completely reworking the functionality of the in-game item. Genshin Impact's sprawling open-world offers plenty of hidden secrets for players to discover scattered throughout its five playable regions, alongside its main story and quests. The game's world is littered with treasure chests, offering both in-game resources and Primogems, as well as Genshin Impact's regional Oculi collectibles providing special bonuses and upgrades. Now, finding treasure chests in a player's world is going to be a bit easier.

A Genshin Impact chart has revealed the most popular characters in the current phase 2 version of the 4.5 Spiral Abyss. The Spiral Abyss is widely considered the main piece of endgame content as it features mighty enemies with stacked HP bars.

According to a fresh set of 4.6 leaks, players may not want to pull for Arlecchino after, in spite of how highly awaited her playable version is. Although she has already debuted as an NPC in the Fontaine campaign, the Fatui Harbinger is set to become a playable unit in Version 4.6 – in fact, Arlecchino’s release as a Pyro character has been confirmed by developer HoYoverse, though specifics about her are still unknown through official means. Nevertheless, the abundance of Arlecchino leaks in offers players more insight into how she plays on the battlefield.

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed the five-star characters that will receive a re-run during the upcoming update 4.6. Developer HoYoverse has already confirmed the arrival of a new five-star unit, the long-awaited Pyro user Arlecchino, also known as The Knave.

Making an informed decision when pulling for Neuvillette or Kazuha in 4.5 can spare players a lot of Primogems, especially if they are already geared up to reach their pity soon. Neuvillette and Kazuha are both rerun characters and not actual debuting units, like Chiori in . Neuvillette made his debut as a playable character in Version 4.1, shortly after the release of Fontaine in 2023. Kazuha, on the other hand, first arrived years ago, back in Version 1.6, which was added to the action RPG right before the release of Inazuma in Version 2.0.

Genshin Impact has officially revealed the second half Event Banners for Version 4.5, and to no one's surprise, Kaveh is once again missing from among the list of 4-Stars. Though Version 4.5 of Genshin Impact could be described as a quiet patch, with no new zones or artifact domains, its Flagship Event «Alchemical Ascension» has been incredibly popular among fans. Not only did it give players a chance to stock up on Primogems for a few extra pulls on Itto and Chiori's banners, but it also introduced a fun mini-game that many fans are hopeful becomes a permanent fixture of Genshin Impact in the future.

Genshin Impact is expected to release Version 4.6 on April 24, 2024, and players can now have an estimated Primogem count for the new update. While Genshin Impact has been praised for its addictive open world exploration and engaging elemental combat, it is a gacha game at heart, and as such, players are expected to spend Primogems to obtain powerful characters for their team. Whereas Version 4.5 had a Primogem drought that could easily rival Version 3.2, the upcoming patch is set to have a much higher count by comparison.

A reliable source in the Genshin Impact community may have revealed the Event Banners for Version 4.6, featuring a few unexpected reruns. The bread-and-butter of Genshin Impact has always been its characters: they are the main appeal of the game, the driving force of its gameplay, and the primary source of profit for HoYoverse. As such, knowing which characters are releasing is considered valuable information to Genshin Impact players, as they can then choose how to spend their Primogems responsibly.

Genshin Impact content creators will now be able to post video footage of upcoming updates and characters through a new testing server. Most Genshin Impact players have relied on leaks from a wide network of reliable sources to preview unreleased content and make informed decisions on how to spend their Primogems responsibly. However, this could change in the near future.

Blessing of the Abyssal Moon, which provides players with a range of buffs, has also added several blessings in version 4.5.

Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has announced the next «Amplifying Test» for Zenless Zone Zero, giving even more players a chance to try out the studio's new game early. First revealed in 2022, HoYoverse has already given fans plenty of teasers of what to expect from the next game from the Shanghai-based studio. Zenless Zone Zero boasts similar flashy action-oriented combat to Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, set against a futuristic big city aesthetic. Now, HoYoverse is rolling out the next round of beta tests for the upcoming action RPG.

With beta testing for Version 4.6 in full swing, a reliable source in the Genshin Impact community has revealed which characters will have Story Quests in the new update. Story Quests have been a steady way for Genshin Impact to tell individual stories concerning a character, reveal important lore about the world of Teyvat, or even introduce a new weekly boss.
