Genshin Impact 4.2 Mid-Patch Banner Revealed: Ayaka Takes the Stage

183 Edition's latest news: according to leaked information from the Chinese Baidu forum, the characters for the second half of the 4.2 gacha pool have been revealed.

First, the 5-star characters are Ceno and Shinobu Kamiki.

Next, the 4-star characters are Kirara Ryo, Kuki Shinobu, and Karin.

Here is the editor's commentary on this gacha pool:

The 5-star characters in this pool are relatively weak. Ceno's long-range output is still lacking, and there hasn't been a good solution for this yet. Shinobu Kamiki is easily countered by powerful dragons. Therefore, it is not recommended for players who are not true fans to pull for these characters.

The 4-star characters, on the other hand, are very generously provided in this pool, possibly to balance out the weaker 5-star pool. They are all powerful characters. Kuki Shinobu, in particular, is currently one of the strongest 4-star characters and is essential for the intensification team. However, her weapon upgrade is difficult to obtain. For players who are far from reaching the pity pull, it might be worth trying a few ten-pulls to test their luck.

Karin is an older character but still possesses strong off-field support and damage capabilities. She is suitable for both new and veteran players.

Kirara Ryo primarily focuses on cuteness. Her high weapon upgrade shield ability is impressive, and it makes climbing in the open world more convenient. If you like her, it's worth pulling for her!
