The closed beta for version 5.3 kicked off last week, and we’ve already received confirmed details about the upcoming banners. This information comes from Fullstopchan, a trusted figure in the Genshin Impact community. Fullstopchan accurately predicted the reruns for versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, so we can rely on this information. Let’s dive in!
As many of you know, Hoyoverse is introducing three new playable characters in version 5.3: Mavuika, Citlali, and Lanyan, a new 4-star catalyst user from Liyue. Lanyan will be available for free during the 5.3 update. And no, she’s not the playable version of Madame Ping.
Now, about the banners: Fullstopchan reports that Mavuika and Citlali will headline the phase one banners, while Arlecchino and Clorinde will take the spotlight in phase two. Lanyan’s banner placement wasn’t confirmed, but she’s expected to appear in the second phase, likely tied to the Lantern Rite Festival.
Speaking of the festival, version 5.3 will feature the Lantern Rite, which aligns perfectly with Lanyan’s release. The update drops on January 1st and runs through mid-February, with the Lantern Rite likely occurring in the second phase of the patch. Since there are no more Liyue expansions planned, releasing Lanyan during this festival seems fitting.
Let’s break down the banners further. Both Mavuika and Citlali will debut in phase one—a rare occurrence with two new 5-star characters in a single phase! When was the last time that happened? Exactly, it’s a big deal. These banners are expected to set records, especially with the added hype of Arlecchino in phase two. Free-to-play players, brace yourselves!
With these confirmed banners, it’s clear Wriothesley and Xianyun won’t be appearing in version 5.3. This suggests Hoyoverse is shifting to rerunning two Fontaine characters per patch, meaning Wriothesley will likely return in 5.4 alongside Sigewinne. Honestly, pairing them makes sense—they complement each other perfectly, so it’s a fitting choice for their first reruns.
If you've been keeping track of the recent rerun trends, everything checks out. Navia had her first rerun in phase one of 4.8, but there were no Fontaine character reruns in 5.0. Then, Chiori’s first rerun took place in phase one of 5.1, followed by Lyney and Neuvillette in 5.2. Following this pattern, Arlecchino’s rerun in 5.3 fits perfectly, as does Clorinde’s. The only character that feels slightly out of sync is Wriothesley, but his moment will undoubtedly come—so no worries there.
Regarding the Liyue Chronicled Wish banner, there’s no official word yet, but it will likely feature Liyue characters. Speculation suggests the limited characters could include Xiao, Baizhu, Childe, and Ganyu—all of whom have had multiple banners in the past but haven’t been featured for quite some time. This makes them strong contenders for the lineup. Considering Arlecchino was first released in version 4.6, it has been five patches since her debut, making her rerun feel both timely and anticipated.
If Mavuika and Arlecchino indeed share the same phase, it could mark one of the most lucrative banners in Genshin Impact’s history. Featuring two new 5-star characters in the same phase is a rare and exciting move, sure to generate significant hype and sales.
