The banners for Genshin Impact 3.7 have been confirmed to showcase four five-star characters: Yoimiya, Yae Miko, Kazuha, and Alhaitham. Although all four characters have a role to play in the game, their relevance in the meta varies greatly when compared to each other. It's important to note that each character has a unique niche, which means some players may prefer to acquire one character over another, depending on their desired team composition.
This article will outline the advantages of each of these five-star units and why certain players should consider obtaining them. However, if players aren't interested in any of these characters, they shouldn't feel obligated to spend their resources, including Primogems and Intertwined Fates, on them. It's also possible for gamers to save their resources for Fontaine or another patch if they prefer.
Kazuha
In general, when prioritizing the five-star characters from Genshin Impact 3.7 banners, it is recommended to focus on Kazuha first, followed by either Alhaitham or Yae Miko (depending on the other characters you have), then the character you didn't pick from the previous two options, and finally Yoimiya. All four options are viable and have been successful in the hardest content of the game, the Spiral Abyss. However, since it's not feasible for most players to obtain all of them, Kazuha is the best choice.
Kazuha is a top-tier five-star character who is often picked for Spiral Abyss Floor 12. He can fit easily into most teams due to his versatile kit, and his unique Elemental Skill can reach certain Oculi and can even be used mid-air. He is also easy to build, with a craftable weapon, the Iron String, readily available. Additionally, Kazuha is user-friendly due to the large hitboxes on his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. These factors make his banner in the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.7 the best option for players.
Alhaitham
Alhaitham is a viable choice to consider in the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.7 for several reasons. Firstly, his ability to easily utilize Dendro, which is currently the most meta element in the game, makes him highly valuable. Additionally, he is capable of dealing significant Dendro-based damage, which is useful in combat situations where that element is advantageous.
Moreover, there is limited competition among other five-star Dendro characters, with only Nahida being a more obvious choice in the current meta. Overall, Alhaitham is an excellent five-star character that players should consider if his unique strengths align with their needs.
Yae Miko
Yae Miko is another excellent five-star character available in the first phase of Genshin Impact 3.7. One of her primary strengths is her user-friendliness, as players can easily place her auto-aiming totems with her Elemental Skill and detonate them using the Elemental Burst. Additionally, Yae Miko is highly effective at applying Electro to enemies, making her an excellent choice for Hyperbloom or Catalyze teams.
Another benefit of Yae Miko is her totems' significant range, which can hit foes from a considerable distance without requiring much effort. Overall, Yae Miko is a fantastic choice for players who want an easy-to-use five-star character with excellent Electro application and good range.
Yoimiya
While Yoimiya may not be as widely used as the other options, there are still some notable benefits to consider. For instance, if you require powerful Pyro single-target damage and don't have access to Hu Tao, then Yoimiya can be an excellent choice. Additionally, like most Bow users, Yoimiya has a fantastic range on her attacks. Moreover, playing as Yoimiya is relatively easy compared to other Bow characters, and she doesn't require as much mechanical skill to use effectively.
However, despite these advantages, Yoimiya is generally less valuable in most situations than Kazuha, Alhaitham, and Yae Miko. As such, Yoimiya is unlikely to be the top recommendation in this Genshin Impact 3.7 guide.
New Character Kirara
The first banner phase of Genshin Impact 3.7 will include Yoimiya and Yae Miko as the featured five-star characters. These Event Wishes are scheduled to launch with the release of the new Version Update, which was announced during the Genshin Impact 3.7 Livestream to be on May 24, 2023.
Kirara has been confirmed as the only four-star character that will appear in this banner phase. Kirara is a Dendro Sword user who can generate shields using her Elemental Skill. Holding her Elemental Skill transforms her into an Urgent Neko Parcel state, allowing her to move faster, climb more efficiently, jump higher, and consume less stamina while climbing. Additionally, her Elemental Skill deals Dendro damage, while her Elemental Burst deals Dendro damage in a wide area of effect. Her gameplay trailer can be viewed in the above video.
