Recent leaks have unveiled the roster of limited characters set to feature in Genshin Impact's next major update. As with previous versions, Update 5.7 will be divided into two phases, each presenting dual banners with two five-star characters accompanied by three four-star units.

The ongoing Phase 1 of Version 5.6 currently highlights Escoffier and Navia as five-star options, supported by four-star characters Ifa, Ororon, and Layla. While Phase 2 remains days away, fresh leaks have surfaced regarding the playable units expected in Version 5.7.

Credible sources from the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit have disclosed the character lineup for Version 5.7. Developer HoYoverse has officially confirmed the introduction of two new characters: the long-awaited Skirk and a four-star unit named Dahlia. Renowned leaker homdgcat suggests that Version 5.7 will showcase four five-star characters: Skirk, Emilie, Mavuika, and Shenhe. Currently, only two four-star characters (Dahlia and Yaoyao) have been leaked, indicating four more remain undisclosed. This banner structure has sparked excitement among players, as it combines the debut of Skirk with the Natlan Archon Mavuika's first rerun opportunity.

Genshin Impact Version 5.7 Limited Banner Characters Revealed

• Skirk - five-star Cryo user
• Emilie - five-star Dendro user
• Mavuika - five-star Pyro character
• Shenhe - five-star Cryo user
• Yaoyao - four-star Dendro user
• Dahlia - four-star Hydro user

The banner schedule likely positions Skirk and Emilie in Version 5.7's first phase, with Mavuika and Shenhe appearing in the second phase. Shenhe's return after a two-year absence has particularly excited fans. Interestingly, her pairing with Skirk presents curious team composition possibilities, as Skirk's Cryo abilities don't perfectly synergize with conventional Cryo support units.

Beta test information reveals Skirk as a potent five-star DPS character with innovative combat mechanics. Players aiming to maximize Skirk's potential might consider acquiring Escoffier before his banner concludes around May 27. While Mavuika stands as potentially the strongest character in the Natlan storyline, her specialized kit requiring Nightsoul characters has generated debate within the community, contrasting with previous Archons' versatility.

For official confirmation of these character releases, players should await the next Special Program announcement from HoYoverse.
