and Venti - five-star Anemo support will be featured in the second part of the ongoing update 4.1 in Genshin Impact. A reliable leaker named vississ has provided information about the four-star lineup for this update.

Acquiring four-star characters is relatively easier as they follow a 10-wish pity system, ensuring a drop within 10 pulls.

- Wriothesley, a five-star Cryo catalyst user.
Venti - five-star Anemo bow user
Diona - four-star Cryo bow user
Fischl - four-star Electro bow user
Xingqiu - four-star Hydro sword user
The four-star lineup in Genshin Impact has caused divisions among players' opinions. While some applaud HoYoverse's choice of including some of the game's most powerful four-star supports, others were expecting a lineup that features at least one of the newer characters. Many players already have maxed out the constellation of these Genshin Impact characters.
Wriothesley generates a lot of excitement as the game's first Cryo catalyst user, allowing him to utilize the Cryo element in his Normal Attacks. This makes him a valuable asset in specific team compositions in Genshin Impact. In contrast to most catalyst users who attack from a distance, Wriothesley favors close combat, similar to the four-star Anemo character Shikanoin Heizou.
Fans have noticed a pattern in HoYoverse's updates, with each one featuring an Archon after the release of a new major region. The official social media accounts of the game have confirmed that the Fontaine Archon Furina will make an appearance in the upcoming 4.2 update. This suggests that Nahida and Raiden Shogun will likely be featured banners in the subsequent 4.3 and 4.4 updates.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
