Highlights
Genshin Impact 3.8 will feature Eula, Klee, Kokomi and Wanderer as the featured 5-stars.
Patch 4.0 will mark the launch of Fontaine and we can expect tons of new characters to start arriving.
The Hydro Archon is expected to arrive in patch 4.1 or 4.2.

Genshin Impact 3.8 leaks suggest that there will be four 5-star reruns and no new characters next patch. Eula, Klee, Kokomi and Wanderer are expected to appear in upcoming Genshin Impact banners in the next patch. There will be no patch 3.9 and we will directly head to patch 4.0 with the release of Fontaine. Hoyoverse is yet to announce any of the Fontaine characters who will be debuting on the banners but we can expect information around 5th July when patch 3.8 releases.

Genshin Impact Upcoming Banners: Patch 3.8 and beyond

Here are all of the characters who will be appearing in Genshin Impact 3.8. 

Genshin Impact 3.8 Phase One 5-stars

  • Eula

  • Klee

Genshin Impact 3.8 Phase Two 5-stars

  • Kokomi

  • Wanderer

Kokomi works well in Freeze, Bloom, Hyperbloom and Electrocharged teams and she can also be used as a flex character for your party if you want healing. She is arguably the best 5-star among the four that will appear next patch. Wanderer is also a great unit but Eula and Klee see very little usage in endgame content (Spiral Abyss), with newer characters being far more comfortable to play.

With Fontaine set to arrive soon, we recommend saving for the banners featuring new characters instead. With the release of every new region, the number of rerun banners drops significantly and we see a multitude of 5-star characters in the early updates for each region.

The Hydro Archon is also someone you might want to save for, who is expected to arrive in patch 4.1 or 4.2. Hoyoverse will start teasing the characters for patch 4.0 as soon as update 3.8 drops on 5th July, so you might want to avoid pulling until you know which characters will make their debut with the release of Fontaine.
