Genshin Impact leaks have finally revealed the updates in which players can look forward to unlocking Yelan and Kuki Shinobu. While Yelan was leaked during the 2.6 beta testing, Shinobu has been mentioned by several Inazuma characters.
The hype for new characters in Genshin Impact is always unreal. Players love testing new playstyles in the Spiral Abyss and expanding their character collection.
Lumie is undoubtedly one of the most credible leakers in the community. Time and again, they've correctly predicted upcoming weapons and characters.
Most recently, the leaker claimed that Yelan's banner would arrive during the first phase of the 2.7 update. She is a five-star character who belongs to the Hydro element.
Moreover, Yelan uses a bow during combat, but players must not assume that she'll have a playstyle similar to Childe, another five-star Hydro bow user. Last but not least, Kirin Bow is expected to be the five-star signature weapon for Yelan, as the bow was spotted with her in the 2.6 beta testing.
Kuki Shinobu, on the flip side, is a four-star character. Lumie believes that she will be released in the second phase of the 2.7 update.
Soon after Lumie's leaks regarding Yelan and Kuki Shinobu, players came up with their theories about the remaining banners in patch 2.7 and 2.8.
It has already been confirmed that patch 2.6 will feature Ayato, Venti, and Ayaka. After that, the first five-star character in patch 2.7 will be Yelan. Hence, it makes perfect sense for Arataki Itto to return in the second phase of the 2.7 update alongside Kuki Shinobu.
Banners are often based on the ongoing events in the storyline, and Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu seem to have one of the most interesting love-hate relationships in Genshin Impact.
