Which characters are best on the 5.4 Phase 1 banner for teams
Best Characters from 5.4 Phase 1 Banner
Genshin Impact 5.4 Phase 1 featured Yumemizuki Mizuki (new 5-star Anemo Catalyst) and Sigewinne (5-star Hydro Bow rerun), with 4-stars Xiangling, Gorou, and Sayu.
Top Pick: Xiangling
Xiangling stands out as the best pull for most teams due to her versatility as a top-tier off-field Pyro DPS.
She excels in Vaporize, Melt, and Overload teams, synergizing with Hydro like Sigewinne for strong reactions.
Players often need her C4 for optimal performance in National or Overvape variants, making this banner valuable despite others’ niche roles.
Sigewinne Value
Sigewinne serves as a sustained AOE healing support, ideal for Furina teams, quickswaps, or underwater exploration with auto-heals.
She boosts relay-based setups but requires investment; skip if you have other healers like Baizhu or Kokomi.
Mizuki Assessment
Yumemizuki Mizuki offers unique Anemo utility but sees limited team synergy on this banner, often labeled skippable for F2P unless you’re building Inazuma/Anemo-focused squads.
Her on-field or off-field potential shines in swirl teams, though Gorou and Sayu provide minimal overlap value.
Skip Gorou and Sayu
Gorou fits Geo teams like Itto but lacks synergy here, rendering him a dud for most rosters.
Sayu provides minor Anemo healing/mobility but gets outclassed by core supports.
Best team comps using Mizuki as main or sub
Best Team Comps for Yumemizuki Mizuki
Yumemizuki Mizuki excels as an on-field driver or sub-DPS in Swirl-heavy teams, leveraging her Anemo abilities to trigger reactions with off-field Hydro, Electro, Pyro, or Cryo applicators.
Electro-Charged (Tazer) Team
Mizuki + Furina + Ororon + Sigewinne forms a top meta comp for consistent Swirl and Electro-Charged reactions.
Furina provides Hydro application and team buffs, Ororon delivers off-field Electro damage, and Sigewinne heals while enabling more Hydro.
Mizuki drives Swirls on both elements for high uptime and Viridescent Venerer resistance shred.
Aggravate Team
Mizuki + Nahida + Yae Miko + Fischl maximizes Electro Swirls on Quicken auras, as Dendro can’t be Swirled.
Nahida applies Dendro for Aggravate setups, with Yae Miko and Fischl stacking Electro for Mizuki to amplify via Swirls.
This ranks among Mizuki’s strongest options for endgame content.
Melt Team
Mizuki + Mavuika + Citlali + Bennett supports Pyro/Cryo Melt reactions with Swirl utility.
Mavuika and Citlali form a synergistic Melt core, boosted by Bennett’s ATK/healing, while Mizuki enables flexible off-field Pyro/Cryo Swirls.
Ideal for players with Natlan units, though less consistent than Tazer or Aggravate.
F2P-Friendly Swirl Team
Mizuki + Xingqiu + Lisa + Xiangling offers accessible “rainbow Swirl” with Hydro, Electro, and Pyro off-field.
Xingqiu and Xiangling handle reactions, Lisa batteries Electro, allowing Mizuki to focus on multi-element Swirls without premium pulls.
Great for beginners or limited rosters.
