It's already confirmed that Yoimiya will be the featured 5 star for the second half of Genshin Impact 2.8, but who will be the 4 stars? Leakers figured out who the featured 4 stars in her banner are.
According to this leak, the 4 stars in the Yoimiya banner are Bennett, Barbara, and Yun Jin.
Edit: it has been corrected that instead of Barbara it would be Xinyan.
This is expected for both Bennett and Yun Jin, but Barbara comes as a surprise since she had a banner less than two months ago when Xiao had a rerun. Nonetheless, Barbara is a consistent healer, and her being featured might be because HoYoverse is expecting an influx of new Genshin Impact players with the upcoming release of Sumeru. For the brave, Barbara can also be built as a DPS, wherein she plays around the Vaporize or Electro-Charge reaction with her charged attacks. This can output some big numbers, but was definitely not the intended purpose. Still, it can be fun to play around with, especially if you have other healer already available in your team.
Bennett was last featured as a 4 star on the Raiden Shogun and Sangonomiya Kokomi banner in Version 2.5. As many know, Bennett is one of the best support characters in the game, and is surely worth the Primogems. The buffs he gives with his Elemental Burst is incredibly valuable. Bennett is also a member of the “national team,” so pulling him and investing in him is a guaranteed ticket to beating late game content.
Xinyan‘s last banner was also the Raiden Shogun and Sangonomiya Kokomi in Version 2.5, like Bennett. She can be built either as a DPS or a support. The shield from her Elemental Skill also applies a Pyro status, which helps in clearing elemental debuffs like Slowing Water. Xinyan isn't also the best in her role, but her flexibility in either providing damage or shielding is one that players might find useful in their party.
Yun Jin may not be as popular as Bennett when it comes to acting as a support, but her buffs can be just as powerful when you find the right character for it. She focuses on buffing Normal Attack focused characters, and can deal off-field damage with her Burst, too. Yun Jin might seem underwhelming at first, but her niche of buffing Normal Attacks may come in handy, especially when challenging the Spiral Abyss or events which restrict your party member choices. Yun Jin was last featured in a banner in Version 2.6, on Kamisato Ayato's release banner and right before the “extended” Ayaka banner.
The Yoimiya banner with Bennett, Xinyan, and Yun Jin is set to begin on August 3, 2022.
