We are almost halfway into Genshin impact version 3, with Sumeru’s release and Fontain being around the corner. Genshin 3.5 welcomed the release of a new 5-star Pyro claymore character called Dehya and a new Cyro 4-star character called Mika. Dehya story quests, Sumeru map expansions and Genshin impact 3.5 were blissful.
We can expect an even better update and content next patch as we can expect a rerun of the most popular characters in Kenshin, 5-star Dendro catalyst Nahida, and a new five-start Dendro catalyst Baizhu! And even more exciting reruns!…and maybe even a free 4-star character? The first thing which comes to everyone’s mind when we think about the next Genshin impact version update is the character banners.
In the upcoming Genshin impact, 3.6 updates, we can expect the following characters to arrive also, do keep in mind these banners can be changed anytime by Hoyoverse and are not finalized. Let’s investigate what Kenshin impact version 3.6 offers and see if it’s a skip or bye-bye primogems.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Banners
Nahida
We expect the all-awaited Dendro Archon rerun to arrive at Genshin impact version 3.6.
Nahida is a 5-star Dendro catalyst from Sumeru. Nahida is an excellent Dendro enabler with many powerful team comps, cute animations, and one of only seven archons. Nahida is almost a must-have for Kenshin impact character collectors and meta-enjoyers alike.
Nilou
Our friendly neighborhood Sumeru dancer. It seems like Mihoyo loves releasing a dancer for every region; we got Eula in Monsdat, Yujin in Liye, Kamisato Ayaka in Inazuma, and Nilou in Sumeru.
Nilou is a 5-star Hydro sword user focusing on dendro-hydro reaction or a bloom buffer. With a tailored kit for bloom reactions, Nilou is a compelling character for fun gameplay and satisfying exploding bloom team comps.
Baizhu
Baizhu is the most anticipated character of Genshin impact version 3.6. Some fans have been waiting years for Baizhu’s release, and with the recent drip marketing done by Hoyoverse, we can be certain of Baizhu’s appearance in Genshin impact version 3.6.
Baizhu is a Liyue 5-star Dendro catalyst character. He is the owner of Bubu Pharmacy and our cute little Qiqi’s guardian. Baizhu’s 5-star Dendro Catalyst user role is not yet officially released, but we can expect his role to be a Dendro shielder and a Dendro enabler.
Ganyu
Ganyu is one of the most popular Genshin impact characters ever. Born as half-adeptus with a lovable appearance and meek personality and the general secretary of the Liyue Qixing, Ganyu is almost everyone’s favorite.
Ganyu is a 5-star Cyro bow character and is one of the best DPS characters in the entire game. With access to great reactions such as melt and freeze due to her Cyro element and being one of the best constant damage dealers in Kenshin, Ganyu is a perfect character if you are looking for a strong character to tear down those bosses and hilichurls.

Dehya in the Standard Banner
That’s right, Mihiyo decided to put Dehya in the standard banner, was it because her release was deemed disappointing by many of the fan bases, or was this Mihiyo’s plan all along? Whatever it is, Dehya can show up when you lose your 50/the 50s or get lucky on the standard banner; watch out for the hot-tempered maiden!
