Summary
Genshin Impacthas revealed the featured 5-Star and 4-Star characters for the second half of Version 5.1, as Sethos, Kuki Shinobu, and Xingqiu will be accompanying Nahida and Hu Tao on the Event Banners. Building a powerful team inGenshin Impactis the key to success when engaging with its endgame, as both the Imaginarium Theater and Spiral Abyss can be difficult to clear without having the right characters.
Over the course of its history, a vast number ofGenshin Impactteamshave come into the spotlight, but ever since the introduction of Dendro in Version 3.0, Hyperbloom has always been a solid choice for newcomers. Though the Event Banners for Version 5.1 were known ahead of time, 4-Star characters usually remain a mystery until the very last moment, and the ones chosen by HoYoverse for the second half of the update happen to form a powerful Hyperbloom core.
The Event Banners for Version 5.1 were headlined by Xilonen and Chiori in the first half, arguably the best Geo characters in their respective roles. However, the second half banners will see Hu Tao and Nahida be joined by Xingqiu, Kuki Shinobu, and Sethos – a very powerful trio of4-Star characters inGenshin Impact. Along with Nahida, Xingqiu and Kuki Shinobu form one of the strongest Hyperbloom cores in the entire game, and while they are better served on an Alhaitham team, Sethos thrives on Dendro reactions as well. While Hu Tao prefers teammates such as Chiori and Zhongli on her team, Xingqiu is one of her best options in facilitating the Vaporize reaction, rivaled only by Yelan.
