The Genshin Impact The waitlist for Version 5.1 is out, and rather worryingly, it reveals that Shenhe has officially passed Eula's record of not being featured in more than 14 versions. While the world of Teyvat has often been praised for its open-ended content, ultimately the characters are the stars Genshin Impact. Throughout its history, Genshin ImpactHis colorful cast was expanded by fan favorites such as Nahida, Neuvillette and Navia.
while Genshin Impact players welcomed the new characters with enthusiasm, which also meant that the developers had a harder time keeping the Event Banners schedule balanced. Less popular characters were forced to pay the price as Eula went over 500 days without a banner appearing in Genshin Impact. In Version 5.1, not only will Ganyu join the 500-day club, but Shenhe will also break Eula's record of 568 days.
The waitlist chart was created by RapidFresh and shared on the site Genshin Impact subreddit, taking into account the recently confirmed Event Banners for version 5.1 – where Xilonen, Chiori, Nahida, and Hu Tao will be the featured characters. While version 5.1 introduced Xilonen to Genshin Impactof the other three characters, only Hu Tao missed significant time on the event banners, having last been introduced in version 4.1.

It's no secret that the absence of Shenhe and Ganyu frustrated him Genshin Impact community, especially since pairs received premium outfits in version 4.4. Additionally, Wriothesley's extended vacation from Event Banners makes it clear that the developers aren't quite sure what to do with the Cryo characters in Genshin Impact. While Navia, Chiori, and Xilonen have addressed most of Geo's major shortcomings, Cryo remains in a pretty dire place by comparison.
That being said, HoYoverse hardly gave up the element as Citlali in Genshin Impact rumored to be a 5 star Cryo Catalyst with a premium Shield support skill kit. In addition to Citlali, Capitano was shown to use Cryo during the events of Version 5.0, and while leaks are still uncertain about his status as a playable character during the Natlan era, Fatui Harbinger will most likely be a 5-star hypercarry Cryo Sword. when it is released. While only Chasca and Wanderer are rumored for 5.2, players shouldn't expect Ganyu and Shenhe until the next Lantern Rite. On the other hand, a banner appearance for Tartaglia and Zhongli seems likely, the latter being guaranteed due to his Archon status.
