Every Genshin Impact 4.8 Character Confirmed (Phase 1 & Phase 2 Banners)

The character banners for 4.8 have leaked and details about the units appearing in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been shared, hinting at what may be a fairly promising update. Version 4.8 is the next one in line for the action RPG by HoYoverse.
