As the Natlan chapter of Genshin Impact draws to a close, HoYoverse has unveiled the second half banners for Version 5.7, showcasing an impressive lineup of characters. The Pyro Archon Mavuika and Dendro specialist Emilie headline these banners, accompanied by fan-favorite 4-star characters Xiangling, Yao Yao, and the electro polearm wielder Iansan.

The first half of Version 5.7 surprised players with Shenhe's unexpected rerun and the highly anticipated debut of Skirk. While Skirk's banner performed exceptionally well, some players noted her gameplay mechanics heavily relied on Escoffier synergy. For those seeking a more versatile hypercarry, Mavuika presents an excellent alternative, demonstrating remarkable flexibility across multiple elemental reactions including Melt, Vaporize, Overload, and Burning compositions.

The second half banners will be available from July 8 to July 30, 2025, offering players the chance to obtain these powerful characters:

Featured Characters in Version 5.7 Second Half Banners

• Mavuika – 5-Star Pyro Claymore user
• Emilie – 5-Star Dendro Polearm wielder
• Iansan – 4-Star Electro Polearm character
• Xiangling – 4-Star Pyro Polearm specialist
• Yao Yao – 4-Star Dendro healer

While Emilie serves as an underrated support capable of elevating Burning teams, the true value of these banners lies in their 4-star roster. Iansan stands out as one of the game's premier support characters, with constellations that significantly enhance her utility. Yao Yao provides reliable Dendro healing, and Xiangling remains one of the most consistent Pyro applicators since the game's launch.

The accompanying weapon banner features Lumidouce Elegy and A Thousand Blazing Suns as the signature weapons for Emilie and Mavuika respectively. However, the 4-star weapon selection, including Rust and Rainslasher, may not appeal to all players. Those not specifically seeking the signature weapons might consider saving their resources for future banners.
