Hey there, Genshin Impact fans! If you’ve been holding your breath for the next big character rerun, I’ve got some exciting news for you. According to some juicy leaks making the rounds, it looks like Neuvillette might be back in the spotlight with his rerun coming up in the 5.2 update. Now, if you’re like me, you’ve probably been waiting to get your hands on this powerhouse character again—because let’s face it, he’s one of the best DPS units out there right now.
Let’s break down what we know so far, and while none of this is official yet (leaks, you know?), it’s still enough to get hyped up about.
Neuvillette’s Rerun: What’s the Buzz?
So, here’s the scoop: a well-known leaker in the Genshin community, HomDGCat, has been hinting that Neuvillette could be making a comeback in version 5.2. If this turns out to be true, it’ll be his second rerun—the first one happened way back in update 4.5. I don’t know about you, but if you missed him the first time (or just want to upgrade your roster), this is your moment to shine.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—“When is this banner dropping?” Let’s get to that.
When to Expect Neuvillette’s Rerun
If HoYoverse sticks to their usual update schedule (and they usually do), we’re looking at a six-week update cycle with each phase lasting about three weeks. That puts Neuvillette’s rerun smack in the middle of Phase 2 of the 5.2 update, which could be as soon as December 11, 2024.
I know, I know—December sounds like ages away, but trust me, it’ll be here before you know it. So, if you’ve been saving up your Primogems, now’s the time to start strategizing.
Who Else is Joining Neuvillette?
It’s not just Neuvillette that’s expected to make a splash in 5.2. According to the leaks, Lyney and Zhongli are also likely to make an appearance. Lyney could drop in Phase 1, and you might want to keep an eye out for Chasca, a new exclusive 5-star character, who’s rumored to be debuting around the same time.
As for Zhongli? Yep, the man, the myth, the Geo daddy himself is expected to pop up in Phase 2—for what could be his fifth rerun. Yes, you read that right, fifth! It’s almost like HoYoverse knows we just can’t get enough of him.
4-Star Characters in the Mix
For those of you who love stacking up on 4-star units (who doesn’t?), there are whispers that characters like Ororon, Heizou, and Fischl will be part of the 5.2 banner rotation too. We’re still in the dark about which phase they’ll appear in, so keep an eye on the news for further leaks.
Why Neuvillette’s Rerun Matters
Let’s be real: Neuvillette is a must-have character if you’re looking to deal serious damage, especially if you’re still trying to shore up your Hydro team. He’s got everything—crazy high DPS, an amazing kit, and let’s not forget his absolutely epic design. His rerun could shake up the meta again, especially as more people unlock his potential with constellations or snag his signature weapon.
If you’re someone who loves theory-crafting or just wants to smash through those Abyss floors with style, Neuvillette could be your ticket to victory.
What the Community is Saying
Over on Reddit and X (formerly known as Twitter), fans are already buzzing about what Neuvillette’s rerun could mean for the game. Some are hyped to finally grab him, while others are wondering how he’ll hold up compared to the newer characters. Either way, the community is gearing up for a Primogem-saving frenzy, especially since this rerun could end up being a game-changer for many.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it! While we’re still waiting for HoYoverse to officially confirm things, the leaks make it look like December 11, 2024, could be the day Neuvillette returns to steal the spotlight once again. Start saving those Primogems, folks—it’s going to be a good one!
