While HoYoVerse had not previously revealed the full four-star lineup for Miko and Childe’s banners, the Genshin Impact developer has already shown off a new four-star character. HoYoVerse revealed Layla as one of the game’s newest characters coming during Version 3.2, introducing her as a sleepy Akademiya student. Layla was revealed to be a Cryo element Sword user with skills setting her up to be a strong support. Now, players have learned what else they can expect to pull during the second half.

HoYoVerse officially revealed the second half’s character and weapon banners late Monday night, confirming the trio of four-star characters to be featured alongside Yae Miko and Childe. Besides the previously-mentioned Layla, the banners feature two members of the game’s Inazuma roster with Thoma and Shikanoin Heizou joining the rotation. The new banner will be Thoma’s second re-run following his release in February and Heizou’s first since his launch. Both characters previously featured together on Klee and Kazuha’s banner during Version 2.8 in July.
The reveal from HoYoVerse also confirmed the weapons set to be available during the second half of Version 3.2. Much like with every banner, both of the five-star characters’ signature weapons are available with Yae Miko’s “Kagura’s Verity” and Childe’s “Polar Star” in rotation. The new banner’s four-star weapons feature several of the game’s powerful Favonius weapons, a strong option for many support characters, as well as other niche choices like The Bell and Dragon’s Bane. Both banners are set to launch on Friday, November 18th following the conclusion of Nahida and Yoimiya’s banners.
While many fans of Yae Miko and Childe will look to pick them up during their re-runs, HoYoVerse has already given Genshin Impact fans a taste of what to expect during Version 3.3. HoYoVerse revealed that the long-awaited Wanderer, also known as Scaramouche, will finally become playable alongside another new character in Faruzan. Popular characters like Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato are also heavily rumored to be receiving reruns during 3.3. Between popular characters returning and fan-favorite new additions, Genshin Impact looks to have something to please many of its passionate fans coming soon.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
