With the release of Natlan, players face the biggest challenge, which always appears with new banners, especially when the game is in the middle of a change of nation. Many skip the previous banners to get some of Natlan’s new characters or for one of the wonderful re-runs. The decision is complicated because the banners of Genshin Impact 5.0 will have characters with new mechanics, like Mualani and Kinich, while Raiden and Kazuha are some of the best characters for various teams. However, the decision will also depend on your gameplay style and the characters you already have.
Who is the Best Character in Genshin Impact’s 5.0 Banners?
Mualani is a new character with innovative mechanics, such as her transportation Skill and the Nightsoul’s Blessing. Besides, HoYoverse redesigned the vision bearers to make them more unique. As for her kit, Mualani is a Catalyst Hydro DPS; she works similarly to Neuvillette, although this girl needs to move more around the battlefield. Also, consider that Yelan recently had her re-run. Mualani is an excellent option to pull for in Genshin Impact 5.0 if you don’t have Neuvillete or Yelan.
On the other side, in Phase 1, along with Mualani, there will be Kazuha, and I can’t add anything more than almost every Traveler already knows. Kazuha is one of the best Support characters and works on several teams. Kazuha is versatile and helpful because of his crowd-control attacks and synergy for Elemental Reactions. I recommend getting his C1 because he will get one more stack for his Skill.
In phase 2 of Genshin Impact 5.0, there will also be Kinich, who has a similar case to Mualani with all his new mechanics. However, if we take into consideration the previous banners, Kinich will be favored if you have Emilie. Emilie will provide Pyro resistance, while Kinich will focus on Burning and Burgeon reactions; Bennett is also an excellent partner for this Dendro Claymore user.
Last but not least, Raiden Shogun has a new re-run of Genshin Impact 5.0 together with Kinich. Raiden is another one of the characters that you must have for her utility, and that is much better if you get her C2. Ei is an excellent DPS and Sub-DPS, so she can DMG active or off-field to do different Elemental Reactions. Also, it is much easier and cheaper to build.
Whether you choose Kazuha, Mualani, Kinich, or Raiden during these banners, the most important thing is to keep in mind which one you like the most and then how it will affect your teams in Genshin Impact 5.0. Remember that the most important thing is how you build your characters.
