Who are the Four Stars in Xianyun’s Banner in Genshin Impact 4.4?

For the “The Crane Soars Skyward” Genshin 4.4 Banner, you can pull the following 4-Star characters:

Gaming

Gaming is set to make an entrance as a character who excels in aerial attacks. His Plunging Attack allows him to leap and descend upon his enemies, dealing damage along the way. This move, while similar to other characters’ abilities, is a staple in his combat strategy. Leaks suggest he could be a powerful DPS character, especially when paired with allies that can induce melt or vaporize reactions.

Faruzan

Faruzan has a niche as an Anemo support, excelling in enhancing her allies’ abilities. She shines brighter with her Constellations unlocked, though she can be a bit tricky to utilize without them. For those who have her at C6 and love playing Anemo DPS characters, she’s definitely worth the investment.

Noelle

Noelle is a solid choice for anyone, especially if you’re just starting out. Her Elemental Burst dramatically extends her reach, allowing her to hit multiple foes without any fancy footwork. She’s tough, thanks to her high defense stats, and she even heals, making her a dependable character. She synergizes well with characters that can pass along buffs or healing, enabling her to enhance her attacks significantly. Plus, her ultimate not only packs a punch but also covers a wide area.
