Genshin Impact Unveils Second Half Version 5.8 Event Banners

The full lineup for the second half of Genshin Impact Version 5.8 has been officially revealed, with Mualani and Chasca headlining the Event Banners. They will be joined by Bennett, Ororon, and Ifa as the featured 4-Star characters. This set of banners will mark the closing chapter of the Natlan era before the game transitions to the Nod-Krai update in Version 6.0.

The second half banners will run from August 19, 2025, until September 10, 2025, giving players one last opportunity to secure these Natlan favorites before new regions and characters arrive.


Second Half Version 5.8 Banner Lineup

5-Star Characters

  • Mualani – Hydro Catalyst
  • Chasca – Anemo Bow

4-Star Characters

  • Bennett – Pyro Sword
  • Ororon – Electro Bow
  • Ifa – Anemo Catalyst

Character Highlights

Mualani – Hydro Powerhouse

Mualani is a favored choice among players who prefer big, front-loaded damage. Her Hydro abilities make her a strong hypercarry option for high burst output, excelling in compositions that can maximize her opening attacks.

Chasca – Flexible Anemo Carry

Chasca’s versatility allows her to fit into a wide range of team compositions. She thrives in roles where adaptability is key, making her a reliable option for players who like to switch strategies mid-battle.

Bennett – Timeless Support

Bennett remains one of the most valuable 4-Star supports in Genshin Impact, offering powerful healing and attack buffs that make him a staple in many team setups.

Ororon – Electro-Charged Specialist

Ororon continues to strengthen her role in the Electro-Charged meta, offering strong synergy with Hydro teammates and adding valuable support in elemental reaction-based teams.

Ifa – Dedicated Driver

Ifa brings a unique playstyle as a driver for Electro-Charged teams and has received a notable upgrade with the release of Ineffa in Version 5.8, further boosting her effectiveness.


From Natlan to Nod-Krai

With Mualani and Chasca closing out Natlan’s roster, the only Natlan 5-Star not rerun after their debut will be Varesa, who joined the game in Version 5.5. Looking ahead, Version 6.0 will introduce the Nod-Krai region, with Lauma and either Nahida or Yelan set to feature in the first half.

Lauma brings Lunar-Bloom, a powerful Dendro damage source, and marks the first Dendro Support since Emilie in Version 4.8. While Nod-Krai’s meta may take time to stabilize, Natlan characters like Mualani and Chasca already have proven value for a variety of teams.
