The upcoming 4.5 patch will add a new Sword called Uraku Misugiri, which is also Chiori's 5-star signature weapon. It will be available on the Weapon Event Wishes for a limited time.


Event Wishes

Here's a list of all the characters who will be on the version 4.5 banners:

Phase I (March 13, 2024)

  • Chiori (5-star Geo)
  • Arataki Itto (5-star Geo)

Phase II (April 2, 2024)

  • Neuvillette (5-star Hydro)
  • Kaedehara Kazuha (5-star Anemo)

Chiori will debut in the first half of version 4.5 alongside Arataki Itto, who will get his third rerun banner. The second half will bring back Neuvillette and Kazuha. This will be the former's first rerun and the third rerun for the latter. Both Neuvillette and Kazuha are amazing units, so it is a great time to pull for them.
