A recent Genshin Impact leak posted by Reddit user InflationOnly3229 suggested that four-star characters Noelle and Sayu will appear on the banner in the second half of version 4.0. Players will probably pull them from their banners using Intertwined Fates that cost a certain amount of Primogems. The leak also confirms that Freminet will have a lower four-star rarity like his siblings Lyney and Lynette. Interested players can read about the leak here.

Many people in the comments don't seem impressed by the upcoming banners, with some claiming they will save their guarantee slot for Genshin Impact's Neuvillette, who will be introduced in version 4.1 later this year. Some also said they already have Noelle and Sayu on their roster. The good news for players is that they can unlock more Constellations by getting a duplicate of these characters.

Genshin Impact's Geo user Noelle made her introduction in the game back in 2021, with the character allowing players to get to grips with the Claymore weapon type. She is a guaranteed drop on the Beginner's Wish and has an easy-to-pick-up ability kit. Sayu, on the other hand, is an Anemo user who offers great utility and healing power. She serves as a support character dealing AoE damage with her plunging attacks.

Genshin Impact gears up to introduce another Fontaine character, Freminet, who uses Claymore as his primary weapon and performs consecutive attacks like DPS units. He will make his debut in the second phase of version 4.0, which is expected to start on September 4. As of now, HoYoverse has not officially confirmed the release date for Freminet's banner.

Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is now in development.
