Genshin Impact 4.2 Banner Leaks Spark Discontent Among Fans
Genshin Impact’s upcoming third-anniversary celebrations have been met with enthusiasm from the community, with the promise of enticing rewards and events. However, the excitement has been tempered by the character banners expected to be featured in the next update, particularly due to the inclusion of Baizhu and his associated weapon.
A recent leak from reputable sources like HXG and Full Stop Leaks, as shared on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, has revealed the composition of the first phase of the 4.2 banner. This banner will showcase Furina, Baizhu, and Charlotte as its featured characters. While both Furina and Charlotte have garnered significant anticipation among players, it’s Baizhu’s presence that has stirred disappointment and concerns among fans.
The primary issue isn’t merely Baizhu’s inclusion in the character banner; it’s the indirect impact on the weapon banner that has left many players disheartened. Typically, when a highly anticipated character is released, players are eager to pull for the corresponding weapon banner to obtain the character’s signature weapon. However, Baizhu’s involvement complicates matters, potentially leading a substantial portion of the player base to skip the weapon banner entirely.

The root of this dilemma lies in Baizhu’s weapon, Jadefall’s Splendor catalyst, which has gained notoriety as one of the most disliked weapons in the Genshin Impact community. Players often humorously refer to it as the “green donut” due to its perceived ineffectiveness and lackluster stats. Several factors contribute to the disdain for this weapon, ranging from its subpar performance to its limited compatibility with other characters’ abilities.
Given the unappealing nature of Jadefall’s Splendor, it’s understandable that players would be hesitant to take a chance on obtaining a weapon that is widely regarded as subpar. Consequently, the weapon banner featuring this catalyst may not receive the same level of attention and investment as previous banners.
However, there is a silver lining for Genshin Impact enthusiasts. The combined presence of highly anticipated characters like Charlotte and Furina on the character banner ensures that this particular banner is likely to perform well, even if the weapon banner experiences a dip in popularity. Fans can still look forward to exciting opportunities to acquire these coveted characters during the anniversary celebration.
