Wish banners for the Genshin Impact 4.6 Preview
The best part of the new Genshin Impact 4.6 preview is that it brings in both fresh faces and familiar favorites to the wish banner. So, gather up your primogems and intertwined fates, and get set to summon these thrilling characters!
The first phase of Genshin Impact 4.6
The most exciting part of this patch is the arrival of Arlecchino, the Fourth of the Eleven Harbingers. Also known as "The Knave", Arlecchino is an upcoming playable Pyro DPS who wields a Scythe (Polearm). In tandem with her debut, she will be accompanied by one of her children; Lyney. Just like his father, Lyney is a Pyro damage dealer who land both single-target and AOE damage through his charged attacks, skill and burst. Their banners will be available from April 24, 2024 to May 14, 2024.
The second phase of Genshin Impact 4.6
From May 14, 2024, to June 4, 2024, you'll have the chance to pull for Wanderer and Baizhu on the wish banner. Wanderer is your go-to Anemo Catalyst Main DPS, packing serious damage potential with his normal attacks. Plus, his knack for soaring through the air and controlling movement makes him a top pick for exploration. On the other hand, Baizhu is a Dendro support with impressive teamwide healing and Dendro application.
