Summary
- Nahida, Hu Tao, Kuki Shinobu, Xingqiu, and Sethos are the featured characters in Genshin Impact Version 5.1 second half banners.
- Building a powerful team in Genshin Impact is crucial for clearing difficult endgame content like Spiral Abyss.
- Staff of Homa, Hu Tao's Signature Weapon, will be available in the Weapon Banner for Version 5.1 second half.
Genshin Impact has revealed the featured 5-Star and 4-Star characters for the second half of Version 5.1, as Sethos, Kuki Shinobu, and Xingqiu will be accompanying Nahida and Hu Tao on the Event Banners. Building a powerful team in Genshin Impact is the key to success when engaging with its endgame, as both the Imaginarium Theater and Spiral Abyss can be difficult to clear without having the right characters.
Over the course of its history, a vast number of Genshin Impact teams have come into the spotlight, but ever since the introduction of Dendro in Version 3.0, Hyperbloom has always been a solid choice for newcomers. Though the Event Banners for Version 5.1 were known ahead of time, 4-Star characters usually remain a mystery until the very last moment, and the ones chosen by HoYoverse for the second half of the update happen to form a powerful Hyperbloom core.

The Event Banners for Version 5.1 were headlined by Xilonen and Chiori in the first half, arguably the best Geo characters in their respective roles. However, the second half banners will see Hu Tao and Nahida be joined by Xingqiu, Kuki Shinobu, and Sethos – a very powerful trio of 4-Star characters in Genshin Impact. Along with Nahida, Xingqiu and Kuki Shinobu form one of the strongest Hyperbloom cores in the entire game, and while they are better served on an Alhaitham team, Sethos thrives on Dendro reactions as well. While Hu Tao prefers teammates such as Chiori and Zhongli on her team, Xingqiu is one of her best options in facilitating the Vaporize reaction, rivaled only by Yelan.

- Kuki Shinobu – 4-Star Electro Sword
- Xingqiu – 4-Star Hydro Sword
- Sethos – 4-Star Electro Bow
When it comes to the Weapon Banner in Genshin Impact, players will have a chance to obtain the Staff of Homa during the second half of Version 5.1. While it is considered to be the Signature Weapon of Hu Tao, many other characters such as Zhongli and Xiangling covet the Staff of Homa as a premium option.
The second phase is expected to last until the launch of Version 5.2 on November 20, 2024. In terms of what Genshin Impact players can expect from the upcoming patch, the featured 5-Stars for Version 5.2 are rumored to be Chasca and Lyney in the first half, with Zhongli and Neuvillette headlining the second half. Ororon in Genshin Impact will make his debut as a new 4-Star character and will most likely be joined by Heizou and Fischl.
