We're also finally getting the return of the Chronicled Wish Banner, and this time it focuses on Liyue characters, including the long, long, long awaited return of Shenhe. The rules of Chronicled Wish have been slightly altered, meaning Shenhe is eligible, even though she hasn't had three Banner reruns.

Here are the 5-Star characters you can get from the Chronicled Wish Banner in version 5.3:
