The new 5-star character Sethos is now featured in Genshin Impact’s 5.7 banners, alongside the rerun of Shenhe. The banner has been a huge hit, with an impressive number of players pulling. As the current strongest Cryo DPS, Sethos’s value continues to rise. Meanwhile, for 5.8, Inéz, the new mechanical girl character, will have her splash art revealed on June 23. Let’s take a look at what’s coming in 5.8 and beyond!
5.8 Banner Lineup Confirmed!
According to the latest news, the character lineup for Version 5.8 has been finalized. Not only will Inéz debut, but three Natlan characters—Chaska, Marani, and Citlali—are all getting their first reruns! However, the exact banner order is still unconfirmed.
New Skins: Free and Premium!
Two characters are getting new outfits in 5.8:
Bennett: Will receive a free skin obtainable through in-game events.
Yelan: Reportedly getting a 5-star dynamic animated skin, making her even more stylish on the battlefield!
If you're a fan of either character, there's definitely something to look forward to.
Primogem Rewards Overview: Up to 12,580 for F2P!
Now, let’s talk about what most Travelers care about: how many free Primogems we’re getting in 5.8!
📅 Version duration: July 30 – September 19
According to estimates, here’s how many pulls you can expect:
F2P players: Up to 78 pulls (~12,580 Primogems)
Welkin only: Up to 102 pulls
Welkin + Battle Pass: Up to 110 pulls
Thanks to new events, maps, and activities, the total rewards in 5.8 are significantly increased compared to previous patches.
Better Than 5.7!
For comparison, F2P players in 5.7 could get around 59 pulls, meaning 5.8 offers nearly 20 more pulls—a very generous jump! Many had expected 5.8 to be a "filler" patch, but it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet:
Triple Natlan rerun
Debut of the mechanical girl Inéz
New skins
A new elemental reaction system (rumored)
With all these surprises, are you as hyped for 5.8 as we are?
