Leaks of the upcoming 4.5 update of Genshin Impact suggest the return of Chiori and Albedo in the event banners. Leaked information from reputable sources like Little_Teyvat provides insights into Chiori's roles, abilities, and the potential release schedule. As the community eagerly anticipates the update on 13 March 2024, let's explore the leaked details and what awaits Travelers in Version 4.5 of Genshin Impact.
Chiori's Debut Leaked
According to the leaks, Chiori is set to make her debut as a playable character in Genshin Impact 4.5. Little_Teyvat's information hints that Chiori will be a Geo character, specializing in support. The leaks suggest she will be a 5-star Geo Sword user and could play a vital role in the Crystalize reaction. Her Elemental Burst is leaked to increase Shield Strength hinting at her potential as a support unit for characters like Navia.
Albedo's Rerun
Fans of Albedo can rejoice as the leaks indicate a rerun for the Geo alchemist in the Version 4.5 banners. Albedo, known for his off-field abilities and support role, is a 5-star Geo Sword user. This leak comes after a brief shift in plans during Version 4.3, where Albedo's rerun was rumored but replaced by Ayaka and Yoimiya. The updated information aligns with Little_Teyvat's credibility.
Event Banner Schedule
While the exact order of the banners in Version 4.5 is yet to be confirmed, leaks suggest Chiori's debut banner might go live on 13 March 2024. And Albedo's potential rerun following in Phase 2 on 3 April 2024. These dates provide players with a timeline to prepare and plan their wishes for their favorite characters.
Weapon Considerations for Albedo
The leak also draws attention to Albedo's best-in-slot weapon, the Cinnabar Spindle, an exclusive 4-star Sword that can no longer be obtained by new players. While HoYoverse is not obligated to rerun limited event weapon rewards, creating viable alternatives in Version 4.5 could pique the interest of players and motivate them to pull for Albedo.
