Genshin Impact 5.6 ▍Wish Banner Guide & Pull Recommendations
With Genshin Impact 5.6 approaching, the wish banners bring new characters and returning favorites. This guide breaks down the best pulls, team synergies, and strategic tips to help you make the most of your Primogems.
▍Phase 1 Character Banners (Shared Pity)
1. Featured 5★: Escofier (New Cryo Polearm Support)
Role: Offfield Cryo applicator with team energy regeneration and crowdcontrol capabilities.
Pull Value: High for Freeze/Melt teams; synergizes with Ayaka, Ganyu, or Wriothesley.
2. Featured 5★: Navia (Geo Claymore SubDPS)
Role: Burstfocused Geo damage dealer with crystallize shield reinforcement.
Pull Value: Moderate; suits Geo mono teams (e.g., with Zhongli/Itto) but lacks universal flexibility.
RateBoosted 4★: Ifa (Anemo Catalyst Support)
Role: Windbased healer and crowd controller with partywide swirl damage boosts.
Priority: Viable for Anemo/Elemental teams, but overshadowed by Kazuha’s utility.
▍Recommendation:
New Players: Prioritize Escofier for versatile Cryo support.
Meta Players: Skip unless building Freeze/Melt comps.
Light Spenders: Pull only if needing Cryo battery support.
▍Phase 2 Character Banners (Shared Pity)
1. Featured 5★: Kinich (Dendro Claymore DPS)
Role: Dendro hypercarry with AoE burst damage and Burning/Burgeon synergy.
Pull Value: Niche; competes with Tighnari and Cyno in Dendro teams.
2. Featured 5★: Raiden Shogun (Electro Polearm SubDPS/Battery)
Role: Universal energy support & burst DPS.
Pull Value: Mustpull for meta teams (e.g., Rational, Hyperbloom).
▍Recommendation:
All Players: Raiden Shogun remains a toptier priority.
Dendro Fans: Consider Kinich for Burning/Burgeon teams, but prioritize Nahida/Cyno.
▍Chronicled Wish (Weapon & Character)
Featured 5★ Characters:
Kazuha (Anemo Support) – SS Tier
Ayaka (Cryo DPS) – S Tier
Yae Miko (Electro SubDPS) – A Tier
Featured 5★ Weapons:
Staff of Homa (Universal Polearm) – SS Tier
Mistsplitter Reforged (Cryo DPS BiS) – SS Tier
FreedomSworn (Kazuha BiS) – S Tier
▍Recommendation:
Priority: Kazuha > Mistsplitter > Staff of Homa > Raiden cons.
Avoid: Niche weapons like The Unforged or Everlasting Moonglow.
▍Conclusion
1. Resource Focus: Save for Raiden Shogun or Kazuha; Escofier is optional unless Cryo support is needed.
2. Team Synergy:
Escofier pairs well with Hydro/Pyro DPS (e.g., Neuvillette/Hu Tao).
Kinich thrives in Burning/Burgeon teams with Pyro/Hydro supports.
3. Weapon Banner: Pull only if targeting Mistsplitter (Ayaka/Escofier) or Staff of Homa.
Whether you’re chasing meta teams or building your favorite comps, enjoy the process and may the RNG gods be kind! Safe travels in Teyvat!
