Genshin Impact continues to expand the cast of characters, with Chaska and Araron joining the fray in version 5.2 – each introducing a new take on Bow gameplay. While both characters' in-game debuts caused a lot of excitement, Araron's soft-spoken nature won the adoration Genshin Impact community.

Not only is Araron the first tall male Elektra character, but he's also the first male to play off-field in quite some time. His ability set is best compared to Fishle, as Ororon's Elemental Burst summons a totem that deals continuous electrical damage (while taunting nearby enemies). On the other hand, Part of the Genshin Impact is the first true Rainbow character to deal multiple types of elemental damage directly from her ability set.

Relatives

The Genshin Impact chart shows Spiral Abyss' most used characters for November 2024.

A recent chart shows which Genshin Impact characters were among the most popular in Spiral Abyss during the second half of 5.1.

As the official showed Genshin Impact Twitter account, both new characters are slated to appear in the first half of the event banners, along with Lainey, Sucrose, and Barbara. However, due to the data processing and process of elimination, the remaining 4 stars can be safely guessed. The second half of 5.2 will be headlined by Neuvillet and Zhongli, with Shikonoin Heizou, Yao Yao and Fischl accompanying them. This effectively shows the full event banners for version 5.2 Genshin Impact well ahead of time, allowing players to plan their spending wisely.

While Laini and Chaska create a powerful weapon banner Genshin Impactveteran players may not be too thrilled to find Barbara on event banners. Not only is Mondstadt's idol available in the Masterless Starglitter shop, but she has been a constant fixture on Event Banners since launch. Shikanoin Heizou, on the other hand, should be welcomed by just about everyone, as Inazuma's 4-stars haven't been introduced since version 3.7.

Interestingly, this is Lainey's first time performing Genshin Impact's Event Banners without his sister, as Lynette will likely be delayed until Harlequin's re-run in 2025. While Araron remains the most desirable 4-star character in the entire line, Genshin Impact players will benefit from Fischl and her constellations, especially if they come with two of the most popular ones Genshin Impact symbols. Version 5.2 is scheduled to launch on November 20, 2024.
