Genshin Impact 5.8 Banner Leaks

As we await the official details during the livestream, some intriguing leaks have surfaced about the character event Banners for the upcoming version 5.8. The marketing team behind Genshin Impact has provided enticing hints through their notorious drip marketing strategy.

One notable leak reveals that the new 5-Star electro character, Ineffa, will likely debut in one of the version 5.8 Banners. She will utilize a polearm and has the exciting ability to summon a smart assistance unit named Birgitta, capable of dealing significant AOE Electro damage.

However, the exact phases during which they will appear remain unconfirmed until the livestream.

As always, it’s essential to approach these leaks with a bit of skepticism until we receive the official confirmation.
