New Character Debut: Emilie Version 4.8 introduces Emilie, a talented perfumer from Fontaine.

Alongside these 5-star characters, players will find the following 4-star characters: Razor: 4-star Electro Claymore Xiangling: 4-star Pyro Polearm Yanfei: 4-star Pyro Catalyst While Razor makes his return after a long absence since Version 3.8, both Xiangling and Yanfei were recently featured in Versions 4.6 and 4.5, respectively. This lineup has sparked some criticism from players who feel that older 4-star characters are being favored, potentially to create a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out). Weapon Banner Highlights The Weapon Banner for the second half of Version 4.8 is notably impressive, featuring: Aqua Simulacra: Yelan's signature weapon, highly regarded as one of the best bows in the game. Lumidouce Energy: A polearm designed for Emilie, offering CRIT RATE and ATK bonuses. Favonius Warbow Favonius Lance Makhaira Aquamarine Wandering Evenstar These weapons provide a range of options for players looking to enhance their characters' performance. Community Reactions and Impact The second phase banners for Version 4.8 have received mixed reactions from the Genshin Impact community. Veteran players may feel less enthused by the repeated appearance of certain 4-star characters, while newcomers stand to benefit significantly from these powerful additions to their rosters. Characters like Xiangling and Xingqiu remain staples in some of the strongest Spiral Abyss teams, highlighting their enduring value. Conclusion Genshin Impact Version 4.8 continues to build on the game's rich tapestry of characters and mechanics. With the introduction of Emilie and the return of popular 4-star characters, players have much to look forward to in the coming weeks. The second half banners will be available from August 6 to August 27, 2024, offering a fresh wave of excitement for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. Also Read:
