A new leak regarding Genshin Impact is making the rounds, revolving around two new banners. These are said to feature the characters Ayaka and Yoimiya. What the leaks reveal is summarized here by MeinMMO for you.
What does the leak reveal? Currently, numerous leaks about Genshin Impact are circulating. The latest one revolves around two banners that are supposed to be coming to Genshin Impact.
Specifically, it concerns the characters Ayaka and Yoimiya. While Ayaka was already anticipated for the recently released update 1.5, this leak suggests that players may have to wait a bit longer.
We provide you with an overview of the information included in the leak, the possible release, and the abilities of the two characters.
Keep in mind that this is unofficial information, so everything could prove to be false. However, the information is not unrealistic and aligns with previous leaks.
Yoimiya Banner not until July for the release of 1.7?
When are the banners supposed to come? According to the leak, the Yoimiya banner is to be released with patch 1.7, on July 21, 2021. This might take a while, as update 1.6 is first on the agenda, which is expected in June 2021.
For Ayaka, the situation is a little different. The banner is supposed to appear right after Yoimiya, according to the leak, but it could possibly be postponed. The reason given is the Electro Archon, who is supposed to play an important role in the story chapter of the patch.
Ayaka might be held back to avoid overshadowing the chapter. The source expresses this very vaguely. The leak comes from a Discord channel for Genshin Impact, where numerous fans exchange thoughts about the game: Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. It was translated and spread from a Chinese source.
What can the two characters do? In contrast to Ayaka, little is known about Yoimiya. The leak, however, gives a small glimpse of the character’s abilities:
- Vision: Pyro
- Weapon: Bow
- Profession: ‘shrine maiden’. In Japan, there are Shinto priestesses who perform various duties. Shrines are expected to play a larger role in the update.
- Appearance: There are no images yet; she is said to wear an outfit corresponding to her calling, reminiscent of a priestly role.
- Gameplay and Skills: Yoimiya is supposed to deal Pyro damage with her shots. Fire is to be her element.
Ayaka is expected to prefer the Cryo element and use a sword in combat. She has been known to fans for some time, as she was playable in the first closed beta of Genshin Impact.

The leak does not reveal more. Both characters come from Inazuma, the new area that is expected to be added to Genshin Impact next. This is also the home of the mentioned Electro Archon.
As mentioned above, you should take the information with a grain of caution. Although many leaks from the past have proven to be correct, things can still change before the banners are released.
