A more recent post on Twitter has revealed the Genshin Impact Version 2.3 announcement featuring three characters - Traveler, Gorou, and Albedo. This confirms all the previous leaks claiming that Albedo will finally bet a new banner re-run.

This tweet also confirms that Albedo will be featured on the first banner for the upcoming update which means that players will have to wait for a couple of weeks to get their hands on the new five-star character Arataki Itto. Albedo has been a part of the game since the Dragonspine event back in update 1.2. His splendid support capabilities are the reason why the majority of the community has been asking for a banner re-run.
Albedo, Gorou, and Itto could make a strong party with Itto as the main DPS and the other two would fill the support roles. Having a party of characters that use the same Vision is usually considered bad but it actually works with Geo thanks to the unique Elemental reaction Crystalize which works independently from all other elements. Adding another strong Geo character like Zhongli could make this team one of the strongest team compositions in the game since they are able to burst through any type of elemental shields.
Arataki Itto has been leaked multiple times over the last couple of months and players will finally have the opportunity to pull for him. When it comes to his Elemental Burst, it will provide a buff for a couple of seconds, similar to Razor’s or Beidou’s Elemental Burst. The buff will allow his Normal, Charged and Plunged attack to deal Geo damage. During the duration of his Elemental Burst, Itto’s Attack will get increased based on his Defense stat which means that players could find a use for all the strong Defense stat artifacts they have previously acquired. The biggest downside of this Elemental Burst is that it will get canceled once Itto leaves the field meaning that players will not be able to quickly swap through their party in order to dish out even more damage.
Itto’s ascension attribute will be Critical Damage which could make him one of the stronger DPS characters in Genshin Impact. This means that he will gain Critical Damage for each level ascension. His DPS potential will increase exponentially with each level which is usually the case with characters that have this ascension attribute. Genshin Impact update 2.3 should drop around November 20.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
