Summary
A newGenshin Impactleak has given more details about Chiori’s potential appearance on the Standard Banner. The game runs on a gacha-based system which allows players to try their luck and pull for different characters that can have either a five-star or four-star rarity.
UnlikeGenshin Impact’s Limited Character Banner, which offers a set of specific characters for a short period, the Standard Banner features a permanent lineup of playable units. At the moment, this banner features seven different characters, with the Pyro claymore user Dehya being the most recent addition.
A couple of weeks ago, developer HoYoverse confirmed the arrival of anewGenshin Impactcharacter named Chiori, who has already made multiple appearances in Fontaine’s main storyline. Chiori is a popular fashion designer from Inazuma who currently resides and works in the recently added Hydro nation. Over the last couple of months, rumors have been hinting that Chiori could end up joining the Standard Banner, just like Dehya and Tighnari did during the Sumeru arc. Both of these characters first appeared on the Limited Banner and then switched to the Standard Banner once their run ended. However, one of the more credible leakers in the community, hxg_diluc, has recentlydebunked these rumors, claiming that Chiori will not become part of the Standard Banner, at least not for now.
Chiori’s Weapon Type and Element in Genshin Impact
One of the reasons behind these rumors is the fact that she will be the second Geo user to arrive in a short period after Navia joined the roster duringGenshin Impactupdate 4.4. Before Navia’s arrival, developer HoYoverse had not released a new Geo user in over two years. When it comes to her weapon type, rumors have confirmed that Chiori will be a five-star sword user.
This will make her the second character to have this weapon and element combination after Albedo, not including the Traveler. When it comes to her performance on the field,Chiori is expected to be an offensiveGenshin Impactcharacterwho can fit the support or sub-DPS position, since a large part of the kit can stay active even when she gets swapped out.
HoYoverse did not announce any new four-star character recently, which means that Chiori will be the only new playable unit in the upcomingGenshin Impactversion 4.5. Fans hope that the lack of new characters could be compensated with decent re-runs, as some leakers suggested that Neuvillette could be featured on the Limited Banner, despite being released in 4.1.
