Four-star characters inGenshin Impacthave a 10-wish pity, meaning a four-star drop is guaranteed every 10 wishes. These units are much easier to obtain compared to five-star characters, who have a 90-wish pity. However, it should be noted that it can sometimes be difficult to get a specific unit from the four-star lineup since the odds are divided between three characters. Every Limited Character Banner includes three four-star units, which rotate every three weeks.Genshin Impacthas officially confirmed that the upcoming update will feature the following four-star characters: Candace, Dori, and Collei.
Genshin Impact Version 5.1: Phase 1 Banner Characters Revealed
Many fans have pointed out that it’s unusual to see two featured five-star characters share the same element and weapon type. One reason HoYoverse may have chosen to feature them together could be their potential synergy, as Geo characters usually need each other to fulfill their potential in team compositions. However, unlike mostGeo characters inGenshin Impact, Xilonen’s recent kit reveal confirmed that she will be a much more flexible unit.
A part of Xilonen’s build allows her to adapt to the elements of her team composition, making her a very flexiblesupport character inGenshin Impact. Regarding the four-star lineup, Dori is widely considered the best budget option for team compositions that need Energy Recharge solutions, as she can generate large amounts of Energy particles. She is also a decent healer who can fit into many different team comps.
Candace is a solid support choice for teams built around Hydro-based elemental reactions, while Collei serves a similar role for Dendro teams with her strong sub-DPS potential. Several comments have praised HoYoverse for featuring three four-star units that belong toGenshin Impact’s Sumeru region.
