- Evanescia next rerun: Leaked for version 4.6, likely alongside Mortenax Blade and the new 5-star Pearl.
- Source tier: Both leaks trace to Sakura Haven, forwarded via Galaxy Leak for the rerun post.
- Official status: Reruns are the most movable banner element; treat everything as beta-level until the 4.6 special program.
- Scrapped kit: A separate leak revealed an unfinished imaginary Elation version of Evanescia with territory and three summons.
- Budget warning: 4.6 stacks a new 5-star on two top reruns; plan your Jade ahead.
Evanescia Next Rerun: What the 4.6 Leak Says
The Evanescia next rerun conversation started when a beta leak for version 4.6 surfaced, indicating that both Evanescia and Mortenax Blade reruns are likely planned. The post was short and cautious: no phase assignments, no banner order, and no third rerun name. It also explicitly warned that HoYoverse can easily move characters between versions, so nothing is locked until the special program confirms it.
To set the timeline: version 4.5 phase two launched September 12 with Aventurine's wave flare and the Ash Vale rerun. Version 4.5 ends September 27 for North America and September 28 for Europe and Asia, with 4.6 launching the same day. Pearl, a five-star ice Elation character, headlines 4.6 phase one through official drip marketing.
Video Highlights:
- 4.6 beta leak points to Evanescia and Mortenax Blade reruns
- Both characters have never rerun since their debut
- Pearl, new ice Elation 5-star, headlines 4.6 phase one
- Sakura Haven is the origin source for both the rerun and kit leaks
- Community reaction is practical but split over pull budgeting
The table below summarizes what is confirmed versus what remains leak-level:
| Item | Status | Source Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Pearl in 4.6 phase one | Official drip marketing | Confirmed |
| 4.6 launch date | Same day 4.5 ends (Sep 27-28) | Confirmed schedule |
| Evanescia rerun | Beta leak, no phase assigned | Leak (Sakura Haven via Galaxy Leak) |
| Mortenax Blade rerun | Beta leak, same post | Leak (Sakura Haven via Galaxy Leak) |
| Scrapped imaginary kit | Unfinished preservation record | Leak (Sakura Haven direct, higher tier) |
Reruns are the most movable banners in the game. HoYoverse has shifted rerun characters between phases and even versions before. Do not treat the 4.6 rerun pairing as final until the special program locks the schedule mid-month.
Why Evanescia and Mortenax Blade Make Sense Together
Both characters debuted in the 4.x cycle and have never returned, yet both remain strong meta picks in every endgame mode. That combination makes a double rerun next to a new five-star a logical scheduling move from HoYoverse's side.
Evanescia
- Physical Elation DPS from 4.2 phase two
- Energy/Certified Banger loop: gaining one grants the other
- Fox summon fires free AoE attacks automatically
- Mono Elation anchor, highly rated in endgame
Mortenax Blade
- Fire Nihility form of Blade from 4.3 phase one
- Scales entirely off max HP
- Ultimate: Infinite Fury zone cuts enemy DEF
- Skill costs no SP inside the zone, hits all enemies
Pearl
- New 5-star ice Elation headliner
- Officially revealed via drip marketing
- Kit details pending special program
- Strong synergy candidate with Evanescia
| Character | Debut | Path / Element | Rerun Count | Meta Standing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evanescia | 4.2 phase two | Elation / Physical | 0 | Top-tier endgame DPS |
| Mortenax Blade | 4.3 phase one | Nihility / Fire | 0 | Top pick next to Acheron, Ash Vale |
| Pearl | 4.6 (new) | Elation / Ice | Debut | TBD |
The dominant complaint is timing, not the leak itself. Two of the strongest limited characters of the 4.x cycle rerunning next to Pearl means three real pulls competing for one patch of Jade. Some players hope Mortenax Blade gets pushed to a later version; others are locking in Pearl plus one of the two reruns.
The Scrapped Imaginary Kit, Explained
The second leak is the one players are genuinely emotional about. Sakura Haven has been posting preservation records of shelved or heavily reworked kits, and this entry covers an early imaginary Elation version of Evanescia. It is explicitly unfinished: the A6 trace is missing and every number is a placeholder. This is a snapshot of her design before she became the character you play today.
Core differences between the scrapped version and her live kit:
| Mechanic | Scrapped Imaginary Kit | Live Physical Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Element | Imaginary | Physical |
| Core mechanic | Mark target + Charge resource | Energy / Certified Banger loop |
| Summons | Three summons during enhanced state | One fox summon |
| Territory | Deploys zone; ally attacks on mark trigger follow-ups | None |
| Ultimate | Timed enhanced state with action-order countdown | Standard Elation ultimate |
| Elation scaling | Scales from speed, not crit damage | Standard scaling |
| Opening | Auto ultimates at battle start | Manual ultimate timing |
| Complexity | High, mark-driven, cap-per-turn systems | Low, simple loop |
The flow of the scrapped kit worked like this:
Auto Ultimate Opening
She automatically ultimates at battle start, entering an enhanced state with increased speed, a deployed territory, three summons, and a chunk of Charge.
Mark the Priority Target
Her enhanced skill marks an enemy. Only the most recent mark counts. If no mark is on the field, her talent auto-marks the lowest HP enemy when an ally acts.
Ally Attacks Feed the Loop
When allies hit the marked enemy and she has enough Charge, she spends it to fire multiple instances of imaginary Elation damage at random enemies, capped per turn, with a third summon piling on additional hits.
Timed Window Ends
A countdown timer in the action order runs at fixed speed. When it acts, she exits the enhanced state, the territory disappears, and she cannot ultimate again until it recharges.
The community read is unanimous: this is a scrapped early version, not a future rework or new form. Next to the territory, three summons, and ally-triggered follow-ups, the live Certified Banger loop reads as a simplified cut. The recurring phrase is "the version she got robbed of."
The Silver Wolf Level 999 Theory
A secondary discourse has reignited around the leak. The theory claims pieces of the original Evanescia design were split off and reused for Silver Wolf Level 999, leaving Evanescia with the leftover kit. Nothing in the leak itself says this; it is pure community speculation, but it echoes the "she stole her glory" discourse from 4.2.
The widely held belief behind the theory:
| Claim | Evidence Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Evanescia planned as 4.2 anniversary main push | Community belief | She ended up in the second banner slot |
| Silver Wolf Level 999 took phase one of 4.2 | Factual banner history | Reignited the discourse |
| Scrapped kit looks like a main-push kit | Subjective read | Territory + three summons reads flagship-level |
| Kit pieces reused for Silver Wolf Level 999 | Pure speculation | Not stated anywhere in the leak |
Treat the reuse theory as fan speculation only. The leak itself contains no statement about kit redistribution, and outside explanations for the downgrade are unverifiable. Enjoy the discourse, but do not build pull plans around it.
Pull Planning Checklist for 4.6
With three real banners competing for one patch of Jade, preparation matters more than usual. Follow this checklist before 4.6 launches.
Before the 4.6 Special Program:
- Stockpile Jade through endgame modes and events in late 4.5
- Watch the special program for official rerun phase assignments
- Decide priority: Pearl, Evanescia rerun, or Mortenax Blade rerun
- Check if you need Evanescia Eidolons or her signature Light Cone
- Identify teammate needs (Acheron for Mortenax Blade, Pearl pairing for Evanescia)
Owners chasing Eidolons or her signature Light Cone benefit most, along with players who missed her 4.2 debut. If you run mono Elation or want a pairing candidate for Pearl, the rerun is a strong opportunity. If you are saving for a future character, remember that reruns can return again, new debuts cannot be pulled later.
FAQ
Q: When is the Evanescia next rerun expected?
Beta leaks point to version 4.6, which launches around September 27-28, 2026 when version 4.5 ends. No phase assignment has leaked yet, so whether she appears in phase one or two is unknown until the special program.
Q: Is the Evanescia rerun leak confirmed?
No. The leak traces to Sakura Haven, forwarded through Galaxy Leak, and explicitly notes that reruns are the most movable banners in the game. HoYoverse can shift characters between phases or versions, so treat it as beta-level information until official confirmation.
Q: Will the scrapped imaginary kit ever come to the game?
Almost certainly not as-is. The community consensus is that it is a preservation record of an early design, not a future rework or new form. It is missing the A6 trace and all numbers are placeholders, marking it as a shelved version from before her current kit was finalized.
Q: Who reruns alongside Evanescia in 4.6?
The same leak lists Mortenax Blade, the fire Nihility form of Blade who debuted in 4.3 phase one. Both characters have never rerun and both remain top meta picks, which is exactly why the community sees the double rerun next to Pearl as a serious Jade budgeting headache.
