Genshin Impact 5.3 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 5.3 livestream for official details on who the character event Banners will be, but there has been some leaks and official information that has provided details on the likely upcoming 5.3 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

With this is mind, thanks to Genshin's ever-reliable drip marketing on social media, it's now all but confirmed that the Pyro Archon Mavuika and Citlali debut in version 5.3 Banners of Genshin Impact, with Mavuika a 5-Star Pyro character who uses a claymore, and Citlali a 5-Star Cryo character who uses a catalyst.

Lan Yan was also revealed in drip marketing, with Lan Yan a 4-Star Anemo character who uses a catalyst.
