Travelers can look forward to a duo of debutants: Chasca is this version’s fresh 5-Star character and supplements the Anemo roster, while Ororon is a new 4-Star Electro character. Both have a fresh movement mechanic in tow, making them a useful addition to your line-up for exploring the rugged landscapes of Natlan.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact 5.2 character banners.

Genshin Impact 5.2 banners: Phase 1

Starting on November 20, 2024, with update 5.2’s launch, you’ll be able to call upon the following characters:

• Banner #1: Chasca (5-Star, Anemo, bow), Ororon (4-Star, Electro, bow), Sucrose (4-Star, Anemo, catalyst), and Barbara (4-Star, Hydro, catalyst)
• Banner #2: Lyney (5-Star, Pyro, bow), Ororon (4-Star, Electro, bow), Sucrose (4-Star, Anemo, catalyst), and Barbara (4-Star, Hydro, catalyst)

Chasca

Genshin Impact's Chasca. / HoYoverse

Chasca comes with another powerful traversal mechanic, soaring through the air during her Nightsoul’s Blessing state. In combat, she’s an Anemo damage dealer who can target many enemies at once with her gun and convert her attacks into other elements based on the party configuration – this goes for her Skill as well as her Burst.

Ororon

Genshin Impact's Ororon. / HoYoverse

Ororon has access to a bouncing attack in the form of his Skill and possesses the ability to double-jump in Natlan. His Burst activates a summon, which taunts nearby enemies while damaging them with its Electro attacks.

Lyney

Genshin Impact's Lyney. / HoYoverse

Lyney is a Main DPS sourcing most of his damage from Charged Attacks. His kit revolves around consuming his own HP to boost this type of attack and grants him bonuses if he’s teamed up with additional Pyro characters.

Sucrose

Genshin Impact's Sucrose. / HoYoverse

Sucrose is an excellent option for players seeking a cheap way to add some elemental resistance shredding and Swirl generation to their teams. She’s obviously not as good at it as Chasca or Kazuha, but one of the better 4-Star characters.

Barbara

Genshin Impact's Barbara. / HoYoverse

A dependable and cheap healer, Barbara still has her place in free-to-play teams. Most healers do overshadow her by now, but Mondstadt’s idol still gets the job done in most cases.

Genshin Impact 5.2 banners: Phase 2

After a duration of three weeks, the banners will change at the halfway point of the game version on December 11, 2024. That’ll make the following characters available:

• Banner #3: Neuvillette (5-Star, Hydro, catalyst) and three 4-Star characters
• Banner #4: Zhongli (5-Star, Geo, polearm) and three 4-Star characters

Neuvillette

Genshin Impact's Neuvillette. / HoYoverse

Neuvillette is a powerhouse Main DPS – like Lyney, he pulls most of his damage from Charged Attacks, continuously consuming his own HP and healing himself to boost its effectiveness. He plays well in pretty much any composition, thanks to a damage bonus granted to him when any Hydro reactions get triggered.

Zhongli

Genshin Impact's Zhongli. / HoYoverse

Zhongli remains one of the best shielders in the game. He can not only protect his team from any harm, but shreds the enemy’s Elemental Resistance to enhance the damage his allies deal.
