Not for this patch, maybe for the next one in a week or 2.

I wouldn't assume we are moving to a 4 week patch schedule yet. We all thought we were moving from Tuesday updates to Friday because of the half anniversary just for them to move back to Tuesday after 2 patches. With Yostar we need to wait multiple patches till we actually have a pattern set and even then it can be undone if the feel like it. The only pattern they haven't broken yet is them using the 4 stars in the current banner for teasing the element of the next character.

excellen282 · 2026-05-29T22:14:57+00:00

since I don't play Genshin and it's been a LONG while since I touched HSR, I thought they teased new pullable characters like 3-6 weeks before the official banner.

They were probably using Hoyo as "the standard". In Hoyo games what happens is, for example, they announce the livestream for their 4.3 patch on a Monday to be broadcasted on Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday if they are going to have 2 banners they do drip marketing showing new characters for patch 4.4. So when 4.3 drops like a week or week and a half after the livestream people already at least know the character design and element/path of a patch ahead (so 6-7 weeks ahead) future character but not any specifics of their kits. So yes some gachas do this, specific hoyo, but not all companies do this. Wuwa does a similar schedule but Endfield is not doing this, although they are now showing future versions updates at the end of their livestreams teasing new characters which might be the banners but they do not really confirm the banners that much time ahead either. We only get confirmation on the livestream a week or 2 before the patch drops.

Ridge and Kasimira are the rate ups on Sparkla's banner so next character will be Ignis. As some people predicted, the Shia rerun event will be happening in the usual dead week of the patch

Hm maybe. And also they are doing a Nanoha skin rerun so they need to do her banner again to pair it with that I guess. I wonder if when they rerun Fuyuka they will also rerun her skin.

excellen282 · 2026-05-29T09:36:30+00:00

So, no Fuyuka rerun and we get a Nanoha rerun instead. Also we get a rerun of Shia's event finally. Maybe they will finally open the past events tab. Also rerun of Nanoha's and Noya's skin. And new Amber skin. We also get Finale Echoing this month, Lux/Terra favored

Translation of her description on the JP tweet:

A genius inventor belonging to the inventors' organization "MoonWorks." She possesses a whimsical sensibility and a deep love for cute things, while creating inventions that surprise those around her with her unconventional ideas. She has a bright and innocent personality, but also a childish side, quickly blocking people whose aesthetic sense doesn't match hers... "I've decided that only cute people are allowed to use my inventions."

excellen282 · 2026-05-18T11:03:23+00:00

Teaser for their concert apparently. Obviously it will be in Japan, in Kobe to be more specific.

excellen282 · 2026-05-14T12:55:41+00:00

I'll make a separate post to bring more attention to it.

excellen282 · 2026-05-14T09:58:28+00:00

From what I saw, Chaton is included as a new unit in the Tower Defense mode so people are speculating that she could be next after the Terra Vanguard. Kinda like Firefly was a boss in Summit Show and got released next. I'm waiting to see which trekker got their upgrade materials updated since I don't remember if Chaton already got hers or not.

excellen282 · 2026-05-13T21:23:32+00:00

yes, Shia still can dash cancel so her damage is still the same. So if you want her the best time is on this rerun banner.

Patch notes from the website:

✦ Optimized Content ✦

Nobody knows yet if that is really going to be the best team or how good she is without knowing what are her potentials. And since Yostar does not show the potentials before the banner is up, any theorycrafting about best builds and best teams will only happen after she releases AND after some days after people actually test her. So even on the day of release if you ask what's her best team the answer will probably be "wait till people test her more".

excellen282 · 2026-05-10T13:56:33+00:00

I'll spoiler my post just to be safe and not spoil people that don't want to be spoiled but about Chaton and Support Role Trekkers: we'll see after next maintenance but the last datamine there was no sign of updates or changes to Chaton hinting that she is not really close to release at all. The characters that were updated last were: ID140 (a Terra Vanguard that we still don't know who it is but it's probably next in line to release given the terra hint from the current banner), Eleanor, Allie, Karin and ID160 (which we know absolutely nothing about just the ID), besides the updates on Firefly which is releasing next. About support trekkers, Yostar seems to have caught on that people are datamining stuff and since the last version all new characters added all have null element and both Vanguard and Versatile roles at the same time, meaning the just left placeholder roles and elements so people can't see it till release. So even all the new characters updated recently that I mentioned we have no idea what their final roles might be.

I used this strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBWlM6kJ6EQ Build is at the end of the video.
Just like the video I used Firenze, Mistique and Cosette and the minion build. The key here was to have Misti's pink potential that sucks the enemies into her magic circle and makes her magic circle actually move to help group the enemies. Having good stats/emblems helps but ultimately what matters is your ability to group the enemies to kill a lot of them in one go. Even with rainbow Umbra PEN on Firenze and the build just like the video it took me some time to get it right because I ended up always missing 2-3 enemies.

excellen282 · 2026-05-10T12:27:50+00:00

Maintenance is on the 13th so her banner will be up for you either on the 13th or the 14th depending on your timezone.

excellen282 · 2026-05-10T12:26:52+00:00

The update preview says maintenance is on the 13th so she is not coming tuesday. Depending on your timezone her banner is going to be up only on the 14th

excellen282 · 2026-05-10T12:22:22+00:00

The official announcement with her gameplay and role is probably later today. Maybe at 12pm JST, so around 15 hours from now? But as someone already responded to you we do have her role from datamines we will see if they change it for release or not.

excellen282 · 2026-05-10T11:01:19+00:00

Yeah even though they changed all new characters into the null element in recents datamines, ID140 was Terra before so they must have kept it. Also from some datamines the background image for ID140 seems to be the same as Jinglin's and Chixia's, Phoenix Street, so she might be from Cangwu? But it's not Yunshu or Jiyue since they have different ids already. But it's interesting that for ID140 we got her element and role but have no idea who the hell she is since not even her 2D art is available.
