Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Event Banners for Version 5.3

Important takeaways

  • Genshin Impact Version 5.3 leaks reveal potential rule-breaking character release order.
  • The dataminer reveals that version 5.3 is the first time a Lantern Rite patch does not include any 5-star Liyue characters on the event banner.
  • New characters Mavuika, Citlali, Arlecchino and Clorinde will debut in version 5.3.



A reliable source i Genshin Impact community has leaked the four 5-star characters that will be included in version 5.3, but their release order could potentially break a long-standing rule. As Genshin Impact continues to expand its roster of playable characters, and maintaining a consistent schedule for Event Banners becomes an increasingly difficult task. Characters like Shenhe and Ganyu continue their long absences, while Neuvillette and Kazuha enjoy frequent reruns on the event banner.

It's no secret that players have grown frustrated with the current banner system Genshin Impactespecially as the situation shows little sign of improving. The Chronicled Banner in version 4.5 was poorly received by fans, as it neither offered a long-term solution to the banner problem nor was designed to benefit the player. Version 5.3 will introduce Mavuika and Citlali, two long-awaited Natlan characters, but the upcoming event banner may cause a small amount of controversy in Genshin Impact community.

Genshin Impact Leak Shows Worrying Spiral Abyss Trend

Genshin Impact reintroduces a feature to Floor 12 in version 5.3, but it has some worrying implications along with a recently developed Spiral Abyss trend.

As datamined by HomDGCat, the last 5 star Genshin Impact character for version 5.3 has been decided: Clorinde. This potentially violates several patterns and rules established by the game. First, version 5.3 would mark the first time that a Lantern Rite patch does not include any 5-star Liyue characters on the event banner. Second, a separate leak of Full Stop Chan places Clorinde and Arlecchino in the second half of the update. This means that the second banner in a phase would have a new character for the first time, breaking the official rule that the second banner is used exclusively for replays.


Genshin Impact: Version 5.3 Event Banners

  • Mavuika – 5 Star Pyro Claymore
  • Citlali – 5 star Cryo Catalyst
  • Arlecchino – 5-star Pyro Polearm
  • Clorinde – 5 star electrosword


While Genshin Impact is no stranger to changing the banner order of characters at short notice, it is likely that this will indeed be the final lineup for version 5.3. One thing to keep in mind is that a second Chronicled Banner for Genshin Impact was rumored to debut during Lantern Rite, but given its poor reception in version 4.5, it remains to be seen if the developers will move forward with it.

As for 4-star characters, version 5.3 is expected to include Lan Yan, Chevreuse, Rosaria, Diona, and Bennett. Lan Yan entered Genshin Impact is the upcoming Lantern Rite character, and assuming the banner order remains unchanged, players who saved their wishes for Citlali will not be able to get her constellations. Version 5.3 is expected to launch on January 1, 2024.
