Genshin Impact 5.2: New 4-Star Banner Characters Revealed

In Version 5.2, Ororon will come to Genshin Impact as a 4-Star character who uses an Electro Bow. He breaks the recent trend of 4-Star male characters being very powerful. Rather than being like Kaveh, Freminet, Gaming, or Sethos, Ororon is more like Fischl, focusing on the Electro-Charged reaction. Even though he has received some nerfs in the latest beta, players are still hopeful about his role in teams with Neuvillette or Tartaglia.

According to the latest info from HomDGCat, Ororon will join Shikanoin Heizou, Yao Yao, and Fischl in Version 5.2. Although the exact order of these characters isn't clear, Ororon will likely be featured in the second half of the update. Based on the Event Banners for Version 5.2, Neuvillette is expected to gain the most from this 4-Star lineup, as Fischl, Ororon, and Yao Yao can enhance his skills.

Genshin Impact 5.2 Banner Characters

Chasca: 5-Star Anemo Bow
Lyney: 5-Star Pyro Bow
Neuvillette: 5-Star Hydro Catalyst
Zhongli: 5-Star Geo Polearm
Ororon: 4-Star Electro Bow
Shikanoin Heizou: 4-Star Anemo Catalyst
Yao Yao: 4-Star Dendro Polearm
Fischl: 4-Star Electro Bow

As a 4-star character in Genshin Impact, Fischl is always a great choice because she can consistently deal Electro damage from the field. Yao Yao is a solid Dendro healer for those who don’t have Baizhu, and Heizou fits well in Electro-Charged teams. For long-term value in a Genshin Impact account, players will likely benefit the most from getting copies of Fischl and Ororon. With less popular Elemental Reactions set to be buffed in Version 5.2, Electro-Charged teams might become more popular.

While Ororon and Chasca have attracted some interest, most players are saving their Primogems for Mavuika in Version 5.3 of Genshin Impact. Along with the Pyro Archon, the second half of Version 5.3 will include the Lantern Rite, which may bring back Xianyun, another popular character. It’s still unclear how the full lineup of Version 5.2 will influence players' spending plans, but HoYoverse appears to be focusing on powerful 5-Star characters leading up to Mavuika.
