We’ve been buzzing about it for a while, and now it’s official—Chasca and Ororon are coming in Genshin Impact 5.2! We’ve hinted at these characters from earlier leaks, but now, HoYoverse has finally given us the green light. Let’s break down what we know about these exciting new additions and what they mean for the game.

First up, let’s talk about Chasca. If you’ve been following the Natlan story arc, you’ve already met her, and she left quite the impression. Known as the “Peacemaker,” Chasca is an Anemo character from the Flower-Feather Clan. Her role in the game? Bringing peace to Natlan, but don’t let that fool you—she’s no pushover.
With her title, Skyborne Arbiter, Chasca’s skills are likely to lean heavily on wind-based attacks (we’re talking some serious crowd control potential here). And, of course, she’s coming in as a 5-star character. If you’re an Anemo fan, she’s definitely going to be worth pulling for when the banners drop.
Here’s a fun tidbit: Chasca wasn’t raised by humans. In fact, she grew up in the wild, raised by Qucusaurs! So yeah, she’s basically Natlan’s version of Razor, only with a bow and a bit more refinement.
Ororon: The Mysterious Electro Archer

"Not even the most intransigent of patients can come close to matching his stubbornness. Once he's made his mind up, it's almost impossible to change it. I don't worry about him, though — He has his own way of thinking, and I'm sure he'll manage just fine,… pic.twitter.com/SfG64GTKJM
Now, let’s talk about Ororon, the Shadow of the Night-Wind. This guy is a mystery. He’s from the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe, and while he has an air of secrecy around him, we know one thing for sure—he’s an Electro user with a bow. His quiet, stealthy demeanor makes him a wild card, but if his brief appearance in the story was any indication, he’s not one to be underestimated.
In the game’s lore, Ororon is known for ending conflicts with his Vampyrum Spectrum constellation—kinda fitting for someone who operates in the shadows, don’t you think? He’s being introduced as a 4-star, and he’ll be joining Chasca on the banner, making the first half of the update super exciting for players who love tactical characters with tricky skills.
Banner Lineup and Key Dates
You’re probably wondering when you can get your hands on these characters, right? The first half of version 5.2 kicks off on November 20, 2024. Here’s how the banner lineup shakes out:
- First half: Chasca (5-star Anemo Bow), Ororon (4-star Electro Bow), Klee (5-star Pyro Catalyst).
- Second half: Albedo (5-star Geo Sword) and Venti (5-star Anemo Bow).
For those still saving primogems for Albedo or Venti, they’re coming back for the second half of the patch on December 10, 2024. This lineup is packed, so plan your summons wisely.
What the Community’s Saying
It’s no secret that Genshin Impact’s community always has strong feelings when new characters are announced, and Chasca and Ororon are no exception. Players are already discussing how they might fit into the meta. Some are thrilled about Chasca’s potential as a versatile Anemo bow user, while others are curious about Ororon’s Electro abilities and how they’ll stack up against existing characters like Fischl or Beidou.

What’s Next for Natlan?
With Chasca and Ororon stepping into the spotlight, the future of Natlan’s storyline is looking pretty intense. We’ve already seen Chasca in action, and her role as a peacekeeper suggests we’ll see her handle even more conflicts as we progress through the Archon quests. Ororon, with his shady background and stealthy moves, adds an extra layer of intrigue—who knows what side he’ll end up on when push comes to shove?
Both characters bring new elements to the roster, especially with Natlan’s story unfolding further. Chasca could offer new ways to manipulate the battlefield with wind, while Ororon’s stealthy Electro abilities might shake things up for those who enjoy tactical combat.
Ready to Summon?
So there you have it! Genshin Impact’s 5.2 update is bringing some serious excitement with these two characters. Whether you’re into Chasca’s peacekeeping Anemo powers or you’re drawn to the mysterious, stealthy Ororon, there’s something here for everyone. Plus, with reruns of fan-favorites like Klee, Albedo, and Venti, this update is shaping up to be a major one.
We’ll keep you posted on any more leaks and updates, but for now, get ready for November 20th—it’s going to be an exciting ride.
