5.4 Version Genshin Impact Leaks: Popular Character Rerun Confirmed

Genshin Impact Leak Suggests Wriothesley Rerun in Version 5.4

A recent leak hints at a potential return of the Cryo Catalyst character, Wriothesley, in Genshin Impact Version 5.4. This would mark his first rerun after a year-long absence since his debut in Version 4.1. The game's extensive roster of over 90 playable characters presents a significant scheduling challenge for HoYoverse, making fair rerun distribution difficult. With limited banner slots and a high demand for character reruns, many characters face extended wait times.

The introduction of the Chronicled Banner aimed to alleviate this issue, but its effectiveness remains debated. Even with this system, some characters, like Shenhe, experienced exceptionally long waits before their reruns. Unless HoYoverse implements triple banners, longer waits between reruns are likely to persist.

Wriothesley's potential return is particularly noteworthy. His unique Cryo hypercarry capabilities and strong performance in Burnmelt teams have made him highly sought after. The recent Spiral Abyss buff further enhances his viability, adding weight to the rumor of his Version 5.4 rerun. The leak originates from Flying Flame, a source with a mixed track record regarding Natlan leaks. Therefore, players should approach this information cautiously.

Version 5.4 is also anticipated to introduce Mizuki, potentially Inazuma's first Standard Banner character. If both Mizuki and Wriothesley are featured on Event Banners, the remaining 5-star slot is speculated to be filled by either Furina or Venti, given their consistent rerun pattern. The expected launch date for Version 5.4 is February 12, 2025.
