HoYoverse has officially revealed all the characters and weapons that will be featured on the banners during the first phase of Genshin Impact 5.6. This includes the 4-star characters and the limited-time weapons. Read on for more details on the upcoming banners. Genshin Impact 5.6 first half banners Characters Image via HoYoverse Image via HoYoverse Listed below are all the characters you can look forward to pulling in the first half of version 5.6: Escoffier (5-star Cryo) Navia (5-star Geo) Ifa (4-star Anemo) Layla (4-star Cryo) Ororon (4-star Electro) Escoffier and Ifa are new playable characters and will debut in the first phase. The former is an amazing Cryo unit that can do a lot of things, including healing the whole party, dealing off-field damage, and shredding the enemy’s resistance. It is safe to say Escoffier is the best Cryo support and sub-DPS unit in the game at the moment. Meanwhile, Ifa is a new Anemo healer and driver, mostly excelling in Electro-Charged teams. You can also try your luck on Navia’s banner if you like her and want a good Geo DPS unit. The remaining 4-star characters are also good in their respective teams.

It is a solid weapon that gives a lot of CRIT DMG and ATK bonuses, which is perfect for the Fontainian chef since she needs a lot of CRIT DMG and ATK for her damage and healing output. Meanwhile, Verdict is Navia’s signature weapon and is also a good CRIT stat stick. However, if you’re looking for a good Claymore, it would be better to wait for Redhorn Stonethresher on the Chronicled Wish in the second half of version 5.6, unless you want the Verdict for Navia. These banners will be released as soon as the Genshin Impact 5.6 goes live and will be available until May 27.
