Genshin Impact Leak Hints at Wriothesley Rerun in Version 5.4
A recent leak suggests Wriothesley's return to Genshin Impact's Event Banners in Version 5.4, ending a year-long wait since his debut in Version 4.1. This news comes amidst ongoing concerns about the game's character rerun schedule. With over 90 playable characters and limited banner slots, providing fair rerun opportunities for all is a significant challenge. Even the Chronicled Banner, introduced to address this issue, hasn't fully solved the problem, as evidenced by Shenhe's extended wait time.
The leaker, Flying Flame, predicts Wriothesley's inclusion in Version 5.4's Event Banners. While Flying Flame's track record is mixed, the recent Spiral Abyss buff that benefits Wriothesley's gameplay adds some credence to the rumor. The potential for a Wriothesley banner is further strengthened by the anticipated introduction of Mizuki, potentially Inazuma's first Standard Banner character, in Version 5.4. This leaves room for either Furina or Venti to fill the remaining Event Banner slot, given their overdue reruns.
The predicted Version 5.4 launch date is February 12, 2025. However, players should approach this information cautiously, as the leaker's accuracy is not guaranteed. The current rerun system's limitations mean extended wait times are likely until a potential shift to triple banners. Until then, the struggle for fair character reruns in Genshin Impact continues.
