Genshin Impact 4.5 Banners
Genshin Impact 4.5 will introduce a new character, Chiori, as well as a few repeat units. The banners and their stages have been detailed below.
Phase 1
- Chiori (5-star, Geo, Sword)
- Arataki Itto (5-star, Geo, Claymore)
Phase 2
- Neuvillette (5-star, Hydro, Catalyst)

The 4-star units that will appear on the banners are still unclear and will be updated at a later date.
Genshin Impact 4.5 Events
The Genshin Impact 4.5 update contains the following:
- New Chronicled Wish Banner.
- Chiori’s first Story Quest.
- Lynette Hangout Quest (Fateometer reward).
- Training Guide feature.
- Genius Invokation TCG Update (new cards, events, and challenges).
- Leyline Overflow event.
- More system optimizations (like viewing talent upgrade materials from the character menu).
In addition to this material, we’ll have the normal four events throughout 4.5. Here’s what we know about Genshin Impact 4.5’s time-limited events:
Feline Fortress Furrdyssey
Cyno would be a great admirer of the event name, but aside from the problematic spelling for the time being, Feline Fortress Furrdyssey appears to be another manage sim minigame.
Wanting to take a vacation from their adventures, the Traveler and Paimon return to Mondstadt to build up cat houses and feed them to ultimately play with them. If all the cats are befriended, a “special friend” will appear.
Alchemical Ascension
In version 4.5, we return to Mondstadt for the big event, with Lisa opening a potion shop that you may operate. This is comparable to previous management sim minigames that Genshin has released.
This time around, you may also perform requests from familiar characters to make the event simpler and gain extra goodies, such as a new 4-star polearm weapon called The Dialogues of the Desert Sages.
Rolling Crossfire
Rolling Crossfire is set in Fontaine and begins with a conversation with two guards, one of whom is, unsurprisingly, a genius. This guard provides you with a remote canon, which you must employ in Rolling Crossfire to repel an unending bombardment of Slime opponents.
It appears to be a fun spin on Space Invaders with a Genshin twist, since you may employ Elemental Reactions to score extra points and collect power-ups from the field.
The Great Fayz Reaction Debate
Fayz returns for another battle event, The Great Fayz Reaction Debate. This time, you can manipulate time after using a Skill; if you do not move after using a Skill, everything freezes, and you may capture photographs in this condition.
As for the remainder of the battle, you’ll earn Phase Force while battling, which you may use to perform missions for extra prizes.
