New Chronicled Wish Arrives in Genshin Impact Version 5.6, Part 2
The second half of pulls haven’t been officially revealed for Version 5.6, but so far, the new season is looking like a win for adding solid characters to your lineup. Many gamers are excited to see that Ororon and Ifa are available on the same banner, making those pulls likely to wind up with a win no matter what. And this first half is just the beginning of options, as Genshin Impact will deliver new banners and a new Chronicled Wish during part 2.
During part 2, the standard banners will be joined by the newer special Chronicled Banner. These banners have a less consistent schedule but tend to offer up some ways to fill in the gaps between standard banner lineups. This season’s Chronicled Banner will be Inazuma-themed, featuring several 5-star characters and weapons as revealed during the 5.6 live stream and reshared by Redditor @Bisentinel:

This event will begin during the second half of Version 5.6, so there’s some time to wait yet. Even so, it’s good to plan ahead so you can save your pulls if there’s something here that catches your eye. Similar to the standard banner, players are overall pleased with this Chronicled Wish lineup for Version 5.6, part 2. Clearly, this season is a good time to try your luck if any of these characters are a must-have for your ideal team.
