Genshin Impact Leaks Banner Characters for Version 6.5

A reliable source i Genshin Impact community has revealed that version 6.5 will have Linnea, Chasca, Lauma and Nefer on their event banners. Varka has made his roaring debut on Event Banners with version 6.4, capturing the hearts of many fans worldwide, although he still lacks his most powerful teammate in Nicole, who is rumored to be making her own debut in version 6.6. However, Genshin Impact players invested in Zibai have a lot to look forward to on the horizon, as version 6.5 promises to introduce dedicated 5-star geo support for Lunar-Crystallize.

Enter Linnea – a winter fae with a bright personality, the opposite of Flins and his subdued, polite charm. Although she has been hinted at since the launch of Nod-Krai in Genshin Impactversion 6.5 will finally see her added to the playable cast. As a 5-star Geo Bow, preliminary data on Linnea's ability kit suggests that she will fulfill a niche for Lunar-Crystallize teams similar to Escoffier for Freeze. Linnea provides healing, off-field Geo, resistance destruction, a damage buff to Lunar-Crystallize, and an overall buff to Elemental Mastery, establishing her as the final piece of a premium Zibai team.

Chasca	5 star	Anemo	Bow	Version 5.2

With Nod-Krai halfway through its content cycle, Lauma has emerged as one of the region's best characters, enabling Lunar-Bloom, providing elemental fragmentation for both Dendro and Hydro, as well as having strong Dendro off-field damage. At C1, her ability kit also offers healing, making her extremely valuable Genshin Impact support to invest in. Lauma is best paired with Nefer i Genshin Impactas Nefer is a dedicated Lunar-Bloom hypercarry, making the two extremely synergistic.

As for the other two Genshin Impact characters there are some considerations to make. Linnea's value skyrockets if players have Zibai or a Geo hypercarry that works well with Lunar-Crystallize, but she can otherwise be skipped in favor of a more universal Geo Support like the Xilon. Chasca is still one of the best 5-stars to invest in vertically due to the strength of her constellations and signature weapon, but her height under her elemental skill is incompatible with Columbina.

There is currently no information on the 4 stars that will accompany Linnea, Lauma, Chasca and Nefer. If the developers update any trial version for 4 star characters i Genshin Impactusually means they will run again during the patch, but no such changes were made for version 6.5. Oddly enough, version 6.5 will be the second update in a row that won't feature any Archons on its event banners, leading some players to speculate about HoYoverse's direction for the banner system.

It's no secret that the HoYoverse has been prioritizing the newest characters over the older ones of late, relegating the latter to Chronicled Banners in Genshin Impact. While this approach has solved the worst bottleneck, the community is once again starting to feel that Chronicled Banners is a temporary solution, as the developers are not yet willing to add Archons to their character pool. Version 6.5 will launch with the Dornman Port, giving players the opportunity to top up their Primogems, with a release date set for April 8, 2026.
