Recently, with the developer’s confirmation of the release date of Genshin Impact version 5.3, Genshin Impact has once again topped the game’s hot search list.

The developer also revealed in the live broadcast that this version 5.3 will launch some new characters and some new event banners. This can’t help but raise players’ expectations for this Genshin Impact update.

It is reported that this update will launch 4 new characters and two new Lantern Rite skins. The main game content updates include a major Flagship Event and the end of Archon Quest mission in Natlan area.

These update details not only make Genshin Impact 5.3 a hot topic but also reflect the developer’s determination to provide fans and players with a better gaming experience.

New Event Banners

It has been confirmed that Genshin Impact 5.3 has announced new event banners, including Citlali and Mavuika will appear in the first half of the content of this version, and Arlecchino and Clorinde will appear in the second half.

In addition, this update will introduce a new Chronicled Banner, and it will feature the character lineup of Liyue region.

In this update, although Xianyun and Yelan are not in Chronicled Banner, players can have the opportunity to obtain some other 5-Stars characters in Lantern Rite event in 2025, such as Baizhu, Shenhe, Keqing, Ganyu, Xiao, Tartaglia and Qiqi.

According to the developer, the character restrictions in the previous Chronicled Wish were very strict, resulting in Shenhe, who had only been replayed once, not being added to it.

Therefore, in this update, the developer took into account the needs of more players and relaxed the character restrictions, allowing players to better choose their favorite characters.

This update also breaks event banners rule that has existed since Inazuma, and for the first time, two new 5-stars characters will be shown at the same time in the first half of the new patch, and they will also appear on event banners at the same time.

It is speculated that Mavuika and Citlali will be shown on event banners at the same time, and the new character Lan Yan will appear in the second stage with Arlecchino and Clorinde. Although these are just predictions, it is very likely based on the information previously leaked by the developers.

New Events And Rewards

The developers confirmed that the update will add Natlan Archon Quests content. In addition, version 5.3 will also add a new world boss, and after defeating it, players have the opportunity to get useful materials to upgrade Citlali’s Ascension.

In addition, it was revealed that the new character Mavuika will also appear in a story character, and Act 3 of Masters of Night Wind Story Quest will also be unlocked. After completing this story quest, players will also have the opportunity to receive Mavuika material rewards dropped by the game.

In addition, the new patch of this update will also hold the annual Lantern Rite Festival event. Hu Tao is the protagonist of this event, and she and Xiangling will have new skins during the event.

However, Hu Tao’s skin is a high-level item, which may require you to use Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals to obtain it.

But, in order to reward players who participate in Lantern Rite Festival event and complete the event tasks, the developer will give Xiangling’s skin to players for free as a task prize.

In addition, there is also good news worth paying attention to. That is, players can receive a 4-star character for free in the Liyue area by participating in the event.

And players can also participate in the event in the form of free-to-play accounts and have the opportunity to get some Intertwined Wishes, which will be very useful for players to collect Primogems.

In addition, there are some other activities in the new version, including adding a new permanent rhythm game mode, battle event, and a new version of Beetle Battle. At the same time, the cooldown time of the world boss and the expansion of Artifact inventory limit have been cancelled.

Moreover, if players log in to the game during the launch of Genshin Impact 5.3, they will receive 10 wishes and some materials as rewards. Another event will provide players with many Primogems and some additional materials as rewards, and these materials will be distributed to your account in the form of mail.

In addition, for players other than Xbox platform, as long as you log in to Genshin Impact 5.3, you will have a chance to get a Xbox glider in Genshin Impact.

Another aspect worth noting is that the content of Weapon Banners after this update will be very rich. The iconic weapons of the new characters are powerful choices for other characters, and Mavuika’s weapons can basically be used in the game scene.

For characters like Baizhu who uses Shield or Elemental Mastery, Starcaller’s Watch should be the weapon they crave. Because of these new changes in Weapon Banner, it is easier for players to get these Signatures.

Given the new content and generous rewards brought by this Genshin Impact version 5.3 update, if you are a fan of Genshin Impact, then don’t miss this update!
