Genshin Impact has officially announced the Alhaitham and Xiao character banners and weapon banners that will be included in the upcoming version of the game.
A new Genshin Impact leak reveals which four-star characters will be part of the first banner cycle for the upcoming patch 3.4. Developer HoYoverse has revealed two new characters for the next update, Yaoyao and Alhaitham, both of which have been confirmed as Grass-type characters.
The recent livestream event for the Genshin Impact 3.4 update also confirmed that both of these characters will appear in the first banner cycle. They will be joining the banner with another five-star character named Xiao, who will likely play an important role in the upcoming Lunar New Year festival, an annual event to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
A popular Genshin Impact leaker named u/merlin_impact has revealed which four-star characters will appear on the upcoming limited character banner. Each banner cycle in the game features one or two five-star characters and three four-star characters. The game’s gacha system has an insurance mechanism that guarantees a 5-star drop rate for 90 prayers and a 4-star character for 10 prayers. This means that four-star characters will be much easier to obtain, but their insurance is also split between the three rate-up characters and other regular 4-star characters and items. According to leaked information, the first banner for the Genshin Impact 3.4 update will have the following characters:
– Alhaitham – 5 stars – Thao – Singlesword
– Xiao – 5 stars – Phong – Long-handled weapon
– Yaoyao – 4 stars – Thao – Long-handled weapon
– Yun Jin – 4 stars – Jam – Long-handled weapon
– Xinyan – 4 stars – Fire – Heavy Sword
Most recently, the game has also confirmed that both Alhaitham and Xiao’s character banners and three four-star characters will come with exactly the same information that the leaker has provided.
In addition, the weapon banner accompanying these two characters will also feature the return of Thuong Thien Nham, Vu Tai, Chuong Nhac Wandering, Sword Flute and Cung Sac. Although these are all 4-star weapons, their effects are still worth the investment for players to consider if they don’t already own them.
Alhaitham is confirmed to be the second Draft DPS character in the game after Tighnari, part of the regular banner. His damage is dependent on the use of stacks of Tragedy Glass that can help attach the Thao element to his attacks. Recent gameplay leaks have revealed that Alhaitham will be a great choice for the Rampant team.

Yaoyao is the only new four-star character, and players love the fact that she’s placed on the same banner as Alhaitham, which means that to get both characters, the player only needs to spend the King’s Love. himself for a banner. The recent livestream event also confirmed that players will be able to get the free Yaoyao of the Lighthouse Festival.
The second five-star character on the list is fan-favorite Feng-type character Xiao. He is considered a personal DPS as his Rage Skill will end soon if Xiao leaves the field. This means players need to build him up with powerful off-court Genshin Impact supports like Zhongli and Bennett.
