The latest beta build for Genshin Impact Version 5.3 has updated the in-game ID list, revealing that the previously named Kimitsuki Ayano is now officially known as Mizuki. As Natlan’s first half introduced new characters like Xilonen and Kinich, Version 5.3 is set to wrap up this region with the addition of Citlali and Mavuika. Citlali will serve as a Shield Support specializing in buffing Melt teams, while Mavuika is anticipated to be the strongest Pyro hypercarry in the game, albeit with limited team flexibility.
Mizuki's Anticipated Debut
The second half of Natlan’s storyline will bring a new Standard Banner character, Mizuki, Genshin Impact’s first Standard 5-Star from Inazuma. While initial leaks suggested she would be called Kimitsuki Ayano, prominent leaker HomDGCat confirmed the finalized name change to Mizuki. She is a 5-Star Anemo character expected to feature prominently during a future flagship event in Natlan.

Hints of Mizuki’s arrival can already be found in-game, as NPCs from the People of the Springs recently mentioned that an Inazuman would soon open a shop in their village—similar to how previous characters like Chiori were teased through voice lines before their debut.
Release Timing and Banner Implications
Leaks indicate that Mizuki will follow Lan Yan’s release and is expected to appear on Event Banners starting February 12, 2025. As a Standard Banner 5-Star, players aiming for Mizuki are advised to prioritize obtaining her Signature Weapon during its initial release, as there’s no guarantee it will reappear frequently outside of the Chronicled Banner. This approach mirrors past cases with weapons like Hunter’s Path and Beacon of the Reed Sea.
Version 5.3 may also introduce a significant banner format change, with new characters remaining on Event Banners for the full duration of each patch. How this change will integrate with character reruns—especially with Mizuki as the sole 5-Star for Version 5.4—remains to be seen.
What’s Next for Players
Fans eagerly awaiting more details can look forward to the Special Program livestream for Version 5.3, where additional insights into Natlan’s conclusion, Mizuki’s role, and banner changes are likely to be shared. As Genshin Impact continues to expand its roster and refine its systems, players have much to anticipate heading into 2025.
