Step aside, Cloud Retainer! The real martial arts master, Madame Ping, is finally coming to Genshin Impact in Version 5.4. Prepare for some serious (and stylish) Hydro Polearm action!
Madame Ping Debuts in Genshin Impact Version 5.4: Everything We Know
Fans have long speculated about Madame Ping becoming a playable character. The reveal of her playable model alongside Cloud Retainer in the Version 3.4 Lantern Rite cinematic further fueled these rumors. Following the one-year gap between Xianyun’s cinematic appearance and her playable debut in Version 4.4, it seems we won’t have to wait as long for Madame Ping.
A Formidable Polearm User
Leaker hxg_diluc, a trusted name in the Genshin Impact community, suggests Madame Ping will arrive in Version 5.4 as a 5-Star Polearm character. This aligns perfectly with her role as a martial arts master who trained both Yao Yao and Xiangling.

Her signature weapon is also rumored to boast a staggering 88% CRIT DMG bonus, making it a valuable alternative for Xiao players who lack the Primordial Jade-Winged Spear. Whether she appears in the first or second half of Version 5.4 remains unclear, but it’s wise to start saving your Primogems if you’re eager to add her to your team.
Hydro or Not Hydro, That is the Question
While Madame Ping wielding a Polearm aligns with expectations, her element is shrouded in mystery. The blue color scheme and fish scale patterns on her outfit hint at a possible Hydro affiliation. This would make her the first 5-Star Hydro Polearm user in the game.
The Future of Elemental Diversity
The leak additionally touches upon the upcoming characters. Version 4.8 is rumored to introduce Emilie, a 5-Star Dendro Polearm user, while Version 5.0 sparks excitement with three characters hailing from Natlan: a Dendro Claymore user, a Hydro Catalyst user, and a Geo Polearm user. This lineup, while not confirmed, suggests a potential shift towards emphasizing Pyro reactions rather than the element itself in the upcoming Natlan region.
It’s crucial to remember that this information is based on a leak and not official confirmation from HoYoverse. However, hxg_diluc holds a strong reputation within the Genshin Impact community for reliable leaks. Travelers should stay tuned for official announcements in the coming weeks to solidify these details.
