Most 5-star characters inGenshin Impactare limited, meaning they’re only obtainable during specific event banners. However, a select few are relegated to the standard pool, giving players a chance to pull the character even when they’re not featured. Is Yumemizuki Mizuki fated to be limited or standard?
Mizuki will be a standard 5-star character
HoYoverse confirmed during aversion previewthatYumemizuki Mizuki will be added to the standard 5-star character pool.This means her upcoming banner in the first half of Version 5.4 will likely be the only dedicated event banner for Mizuki. After her banner comes to an end, you’ll have a small chance to obtain her on other limitedcharacter banners, on thestandard banner, or onChronicled Wishbanners.
Does this mean Mizuki will be bad?
Those who were around during the Dehya debacle might be anxious at this news.Standard 5-star charactersrange from fairly decent (Tighnari, Jean) to outrightterrible(Dehya, Qiqi). Being added to the standard pool is a portent of mediocrity. Dehya, the most recent character to make her way to the standard banner, is notorious for being particularly weak.
Mizuki will likely never reach the power level of Mavuika orNeuvillette, but she doesn’t seem to bebadeither. From what we’ve seen so far, Mizuki will have a unique kit, be easy to build, and work with many teammates. If you like Mizuki and want to play a Swirl DPS, then Mizuki will be a perfectly fine pull.
That being said, unless youreallylike Mizuki, I recommend holding off on her limited event banner. Save your precious Primogems for a character you love, and you might accidentally get Mizuki along the way. Emphasis on “might.” It took me more than two years of playingGenshin Impactto get my first Mona.
