  • Genshin Impact players warned over “terrible” Yelan banner – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players warned over “terrible” Yelan banner HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact Yelan banner will see the new 5-star Hydro character added to Teyvat, but Mtashed believes Travelers shouldn’t spend their Primogems on it. Yelan will make her debut in the Genshin Impact 2.7 update, giving Travelers the chance to spend their Primogems on her banner. This highly anticipated Hydro Bow character is known for her cunning personality and mysterious persona. As a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yelan appears at the center of events, often stopping dangerous schemes dead in their tracks. The Valley Orchid utilizes her Hydro-infused arrows and AoE abilities to obliterate grouped foes. Despite her clear strengths, Genshin Impact YouTuber, Mtashed, believes Travelers should hold fire before pulling on Yelan’s banner. Should you pull on the Yelan banner? “If I was a new player right now, I would hold onto my Primogems in case they do a rerun of Kazuha in 2.8,” explained Mtashed. “I know that you might be gung-ho to play and you want to get some new characters, but I think this is a very low-value banner for a new player.” Read More: Genshin Impact pick rates – This is largely down to both Noelle and Barbara being freely available to every Traveler that plays Genshin Impact. In fact, these two 4-star characters are guaranteed unlocks, which makes their appearance on Yelan’s banner rather obsolete. To make matters worse, Mtashed notes how both characters are very low tier in terms of their supportive functionality: “You don’t see Noelle being used in a lot of the biggest team comps, she’s a niche pick for a reason.” “Barbara is a free unit, that you can use a three-star weapon with and she’ll do her job. Even with Constellations, she doesn’t get insane amounts of value.” This only leaves Yanfei as the only semi-viable option on Yelan’s banner, which is partly down to her being Pyro, which enables Travelers to increase their damage with Vaporize. “I know Yelan will be good, but will she be as good as Xingqiu? I don’t know about that. I think this banner is bait. I think for the average player, I don’t recommend this banner and I would skip.” Of course, if you like the look of Yelan’s playstyle, then rolling her banner will be a no-brainer, but for those looking to beef their team out with powerful meta characters, it might be best to simply wait for the 2.8 banners.

  • Genshin Impact players want these 4-star characters promoted to 5-star – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want these 4-star characters promoted to 5-star HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact community has highlighted 4-star characters they’d like to see receive the 5-star treatment. Genshin Impact is brimming with colorful characters that players can unlock via the game’s banner system. Each major update adds new 4 and 5-star characters to the game, which gives the community plenty of choice when it comes to building the perfect team. Each character comes packed with a specific element and a unique kit, which help to make them standout. However, there are certain 4-star characters that many Genshin Impact players believe should receive a 5-star variant. So, here are the most popular choices handpicked by the fans themselves. Genshin Impact players want 5-star Ningguang & Kaeya “I definitely [think Ningguang] should have been a 5-star,” commented one Genshin player. “She’s too important and seemed pretty strong in the cutscene. Like if Keqing is a 5-star she should have been too.” Many commenters shared the same opinion and believe Ningguang is a strong 5-star character candidate. The Genshin community even had ideas for leveling up her kit to make it more in line with other 5-star characters. “To improve Ningguang’s kit I think every catalyst should follow their attack string more smoothly like Yanfei,” explained one commenter. “Make her projectiles track targets better. Or maybe even completely remove the hitbox part of it. It’s just an animation, it should just apply damage regardless of what the animation does.” Another 4-star that cropped up a lot was Kaeya, the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. “Kaeya is rumored to be on par with Diluc in lore, so he deserves to be a 5-star,” noted one player. “Also, make him summon an ice wall or something like he does in the manga, it’s awesome!” The Genshin community also believes that Kaeya could even have a lore-relevant reason if HoYoverse were to give him a 5-star version. This largely comes down to his connection with Khaenri’ah, a region known for its role in the “cataclysm” 500 years ago. There’s still a lot we don’t know about Kaeya, and it’s for this reason, that many players believe a 5-star Kaeya would be the perfect way to unleash his full potential. “I think Kaeya has the highest chance of getting a 5-star upgrade. His arc hasn’t concluded yet and he is still going to be heavily involved later on I suspect when we go back to Mondstadt. I don’t know about his kit though and while it’s a stretch to say this, if there’s a new element later on for Khaenri’ah then maybe he’ll switch to it?” Whether HoYoverse will ever give existing 4-star Genshin Impact characters 5-star variants remains to be seen, but it’s certainly a popular idea.

  • Genshin Impact players want this “obnoxious” enemy removed from the Spiral Abyss – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want this “obnoxious” enemy removed from the Spiral Abyss HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact community wants HoYoverse to adjust the Setekh Wenut fight, with many calling it “obnoxious” and unfun. The Setekh Wenut is a gigantic serpent found in the Desert of Hadramaveth, Sumeru. However, HoYoverse has now added it to the Spiral Abyss. While the sandworm is relatively simple when thought in its natural habitat, the added attack and elemental resistance values it gains in the Spiral Abyss can make a tough fight. This is especially true for Travelers who rely on Anemo team comps to deal the bulk of their damage. It’s because of the “obnoxious” nature of the Wenut’s Spiral Abyss buffs that the game’s community is calling for changes. Genshin Impact players demand Wenut Spirall Abyss changes “The least fun thing I can possibly experience in Genshin is watching a timer count down while the Wenut is underground wasting time before popping up on the side of the map furthest from you,” explained on frustrated player. “I love a challenge and wish Genshin had more, but waiting for immunity phases over and over again isn’t fun or challenging. It’s just annoying.” The game’s community believes this pesky enemy would be less of a problem if it wasn’t so tanky. “Honestly, the Wenut would probably be slightly less obnoxious if MHY hadn’t decided to give the Wenut an extra 30% universal resistance just for the Spiral Abyss,” commented one Traveler. “Like why the hell does it need to be a time-waster boss and also have 55% Resistance to all elements with 90% to Anemo? Like It really doesn’t make any sense, MHY.” Other players also noted how they felt the Wenut fight forces one particular playstyle and leaves very little room for different elemental comps to shine. “Funny thing about this for me is that I tried several different teams like aggravate, spread, and mono cryo but couldn’t get the full clear in time until I just gave up and played hyperbloom, which killed Wenut with nearly a minute to spare.” Whether HoYoverse will make adjustments to the Wenut in the future remains to be seen, but for now, you’ll need to take extra care when taking it down.

  • Genshin Impact players demand more Geo characters after being bypassed by Dendro – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand more Geo characters after being bypassed by Dendro HoYoverseGenshin Impact players express disappointment over the mobile game’s available roster of Geo characters. In August 2022, Genshin Impact introduced Collei as the title’s first Dendro character. Alongside the appearance of Dendro in 3.0, Genshin Impact unveiled the area of Sumeru. The vast region includes lush jungles and arid deserts. As the mobile RPG continues to reveal more Dendro characters, users remind Genshin Impact of the Geo element. In the eight months since Dendro’s debut, Genshin Impact has the same number of Geo and Dendro characters. This statistic has players wanting a break from Dendro. Genshin Impact has forgotten the Geo element On the Genshin Impact subreddit, user BioticFire addressed how the game will have eight Dendro users not even one year after its release. After Kirara’s arrival in Version Update 3.7, Dendro will have officially surpassed Geo regarding playable options. The Geo roster contains Albedo, Arataki Itto, Zhongli, Gorou, Ningguang, Noelle, and Yun Jin, excluding the Traveler. Released in January 2022, Yun Jin was the last Geo character that debuted even before Dendro’s introduction. In the post’s comment section, Genshin Impact players discussed why the game lacked Geo users. “Geo feels too insular, and I kinda hope we get some cooler and weirder geo characters,” CoxyNormiss1771 wrote. “Quicksand, sandstorms, mud, clay summonable minions.” “Geo needs more playstyles. For instance, I can’t for the life of me understand why the Geo Construct Resonance is tied to Zhongli Pillar instead of being the default for all Geo Construct, or even just requiring two Geo characters to activate,” TheEdelBernal said. “Still no 5* Geo character in the standard banner btw,” Meowkowhy reminded players. On April 12, Genshin Impact added the 5-star Dehya to the Standard Banner. Despite only releasing in March 2023, Dehya joins Diluc as another failed 50/50 5-star Pyro Claymore option. Additionally, the profitable gacha title put 5-star Dendro Tighnari in the Standard Banner. At the time of writing, it’s unclear when Genshin Impact will reveal more Geo characters.

  • Genshin Impact players want more free 4-star character selectors – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want more free 4-star character selectors HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want HoYoverse to add other regions to the free 4-star character collector, with many feeling like a lot of characters are currently neglected. The Genshin Impact Lantern Rite festival is well underway, which means new quests and free Primogems are available. Players are also getting to grips with Xianyun, the game’s latest 5-star banner character. There’s even the addition of new skins for Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu. If that wasn’t enough, HoYo is also giving out free 4-star characters that players can choose from. However, the game’s community wants HoYoverse to give regions outside of Liyue more representation in its 4-star character selectors. Genshin Impact players want more 4-star character banner selectors “I’m begging for a 4-star character selection from literally any other region,” commented one player on the Genshin Impact Reddit page. Currently, Genhsin Impact players can choose from ten 4-star units as part of a limited-time character selector. While fans can use this method to unlock Gaming, the latest 4-star Pyro character, the other units present on the banner have often appeared in the past. It’s because of this, that the community wants more ways to unlock non-Liyue characters. “Same to be honest. A lot of people want more cons for their Sara/Gorou/Faruzan, or maybe get Kaveh/Kirara for the first time,” replied another player. “Seriously, It also doesn’t help that Inazuma-Fontaine 4-star doesn’t appear in the shop. A ton of them are niche and dedicated to one banner like Sara for Raiden or Gorou for Itto or geo units. Some people need those units or cons but they rarely appear.” Another Traveler also noted how one region is in desperate need of a 4-star character selector. “Mondstadt selector would be huge for the people who want those rare starters (Amber/Lisa/Kaeya) cons, and would also let me finally get Mika, HoYo please and thank you,” said another Traveler. Well, while a 4-star Mondstadt selector hasn’t been announced, a recent Genshin Impact leak has revealed that a 5-star Mondstadt banner could be coming to the game in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players want Labyrinth Warriors event as a permanent end-game mode – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want Labyrinth Warriors event as a permanent end-game mode miHoYoGenshin Impact players have been calling for miHoYo to add better end-game content for a while, but the recent Labyrinth Warriors event could soon change this for the better. Genshin Impact’s lack of end-game content continues to be a huge focal point within the game’s community, particularly amongst high Adventure Rank travelers. In fact, once the main story and side quests have been completed, there’s very little to do in the world of Teyvat. Currently, the main bulk of Genshin Impact’s end-game content is locked behind the Spiral Abyss and Artifact grinding. While these two areas can prove challenging, they’re hardly the most interesting features to delve into. However, the Version 2.2 update has brought with it a new event that has players hopeful for the future. Genshin Impact fans praise Labyrinth Warriors event The Labyrinth Warrior event tasks players with venturing into the Mystic Onmyou Chamber – a unique Domain that hides many perils within it. Aside from the usual enemies, this dungeon houses various traps that can melt through your health if you’re not careful. Unlike other Domains, the Labyrinth Warrior trials see travelers team up with a non-playable partner called Shiki Taishou. This small warrior provides your team with various buffs (Charm Magic) that will help you clear out each room. Once you’ve selected your team comp and appropriate buffs, you’ll need to navigate your way through the various floors and take down the enemies within them. If you successfully manage to wipe out the enemies on the first floor, you’ll move on to the next room. “The current Labyrinth Warriors event is by far the best [miHoyo has] ever released. It’s a great mix of exploration, combat, some buff/debuff RNG, and a few other things,” explained one Reddit user. “A more difficult version of this event is about everything I wish end-game offered right now. It’s incomparably more interesting and enjoyable than Spiral Abyss and I could see it becoming excellent end-game content with a few simple tweaks.” Genshin Impact fans have wanted an endless dungeon mode since the game’s release, but the developers have yet to add this mode. However, the new event has proven that miHoYo has the potential to add harder dungeon-style content to the game. “I’m really hoping that miHoYo is testing this event out right now as a test,” said Enviosity. “Then eventually, in the future, we get something like this as a permanent event that’s added to the game. I feel like that could happen.” The developers have often used new updates to trial various gameplay mechanics and features before they’re added to the game in later versions, so Genshin Impact fans remain hopeful that Labyrinth Warriors will just be the beginning.

  • Genshin Impact players want major Honkai Star Rail feature added to the game – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want major Honkai Star Rail feature added to the game HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want one major Honkai Star Rail feature added to the game, which many believe will improve the overall experience. Genshin Impact events enable players to take part in time-limited minigames, unlock free 4-stars, and even play through unique character quests. This makes missing events a huge problem, particularly when certain quests are locked behind them – an area that has proven problematic for new players. Well, now the Genshin Impact community is calling for HoYoverse to add a popular Honkia Star Rail mechanic to help eliminate one of the game’s most frustrating issues. Genshin players want HSR feature added to the game Writing on the official Honkai Star Rail Reddit page, one player questioned why a specific Honkai Star Rail feature had seemingly been left out of Genshin Impact. “So, I finally started playing HSR actively a week ago and just found this, you can play events if you missed them. Why doesn’t Genshin have that?!” The post has since received a lot of attention from both the Genshin and Honkai communities, with both sides left puzzled as to why the devs have yet to add such a useful QoL feature. “The most hilarious part to Genshin’s is that it has the gall to place the biggest lore drops in the entire game, and then f*cking lock them behind time-limited events that will never come back,” commented one frustrated player. “With even some having character development to them.” Another Genshin Impact player also noted how certain characters’ stories are locked behind events, meaning new players lose a lot of vital background information. “All of Fischl’s story events have been events. Like, she got the first event, back when you needed original Resin to grab rewards,” responded one commenter. “And then she got her next, far bigger event: Golden Archipelago 2. Literally, a series of islands that were made up for the period between major release versions.” It’s this lack of replayability that has the Genshin community worried for those who missed important events, particularly newcomers to the game. “There’s going to be probably a million posts with people asking when the f*ck that came up in the story because most likely they’re not going to make lines for the characters that explain these things to those who never played the event.” As for why Genshin Impact lacks Honkai Star Rail’s event catchup feature, one player believes it’s largely down to technical reasons. “At this point, I just assumed Genshin has too many spaghetti codes that they are too deep in the gutter to fix to provide such QoL,” the explained. “HSR being midway dev along with these features being made into Genshin, then incorporating to HSR is far easier…”

  • Genshin Impact players want better communication after botched Anniversary Event – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want better communication after botched Anniversary Event miHoYoGenshin Impact’s Anniversary Event has left many players disappointed, but could this situation have been avoided if there was more communication from miHoYo? The Genshin Impact Anniversary Event hasn’t exactly gone down well with the game’s community. In fact, players from around the world have taken to social media to voice their anger at miHoYo for the lack of in-game rewards. Players have even gone as far as review bombing the game on the app store, driving down the rating to an all-time low. Despite this huge outcry from the community, the developers have still yet to address the ongoing issue. However, this lack of communication from miHoYo is hardly anything new for fans – with many players noting that the silence surrounding upcoming content has been gradually getting worse. Genshin Impact Anniversary Event reaches boiling point Upon Genshin Impact’s release, developers miHoYo released updates on the official hoyolab website. It’s here where the community could read official news about upcoming Version Updates, new events, and general bug fixes. Not only did this give the player base something to look forward to, but it also helped temper and even heighten expectations for new content. Unfortunately, this level of communication has gradually disappeared, leaving many fans questioning what future updates entail. “I’m positive that if miHoYo told the community weeks ago what the anniversary was and wasn’t going to be, we wouldn’t be in a mess this large,” said Rezahn. “A lot of people feel like they are being treated poorly by this company. They feel like a rug was pulled out from under them when their anniversary event was a cute slideshow and a few primos.” Aside from the upcoming Genshin Impact patch 2.2 livestream, miHoYo has kept tight-lipped regarding all information pertaining to new content. A number of players even noted that communication went downhill further once Genshin’s official Twitter switched out its loveable mascot (Paimon) for a generic Twitter handle. “Honestly, [Paimon] was always communicating with players and having fun with events, but ever since the name change, it feels as if the corporate overlords tightened their grasp on communication,” said Megajoshuaw. “It shows through the disappearance of developer updates/discussions and even the recognition of the community.” To counter the lack of developer updates, a number of Genshin Impact leakers quickly cropped up and began delving into the game’s files to uncover unannounced content. This led to a mass exodus of unreleased characters, regions, weapons, and assets being shared around social media forums – an area that miHoYo has been incredibly keen to clear up. Narsiel believes that miHoYo should take note from FFXIV’s development team. “[Square Enix] are openly sincere with absolutely everything. Are they having hardships making stuff? They say so. Are they happily working over something in particular? They say so, and their playerbase is extremely grateful for this because there’s absolute transparency rewarded with undying loyalty. This is just scummy.” Whether miHoYo will eventually break the silence surrounding Genshin Impact’s Anniversary Event remains to be seen, but the community is hoping that the developers will be more open with them in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players urge miHoYo to rethink Lantern Rite Intertwined Fate reward system – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players urge miHoYo to rethink Lantern Rite Intertwined Fate reward system miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to consider keeping the game’s Lantern Rite Festival reward program, which currently gifts players with free Primogems and intertwined Fates. While Genshin Impact has a Daily Check-In that players can use to claim a number of free materials, many players want miHoYo to add a new monthly rewards feature to the game. This comes after the 2.4 Lantern Rite Festival added a login rewards program, which enables travelers to claim free Priomgems and Intertwined Fates. Unlike other gacha games, Genshin Impact doesn’t offer players free Wishes for logging into the game. Instead, players can only claim the rewards from the Daily Login Event: “May Fortune Find You” for a limited time. However, the community now wants miHoYo to reconsider the way it handles its future rewards. Genshin Impact fans want permanent rewards program Popular Genshin Impact YouTuber, Enviosity, recently tweeted about the idea of miHoYo keeping the Lantern Rite daily login rewards. The tweet has since gone viral amongst the game’s community, with many agreeing that miHoYo should consider keeping the “May Fortune Find You” rewards program. During the course of the Lantern Rite event, players can log in for seven days in total to receive Intertwined Fates and other in-game goodies. Not only does this enable players to get some free rolls on the game’s Ganyu banner and Zhongli banner reruns, but it can also help travelers save for future character banners. “With how many weapons and character constellations are in-game, I am shocked it isn’t already,” responded Mtashed. “Epic Seven gave 70 free wishes out this week. A month ago they did it again.” Anyone want this as a monthly thing? pic.twitter.com/3P8gyuJUL6 — Enviosity 🌱 (@Enviosity) January 31, 2022 While Genshin Impact players can get free Primogems from doing in-game quests and daily commissions, the amount needed to purchase Fates can make rolling on the game’s banners an incredibly time-consuming affair. This is especially true if you don’t have access to the Battle Pass or wish to remain free to play. “Dude literally every other gacha game gives one wish/pull for just finishing daily quests and another 10 for finishing weekly quests,” explained another commenter. “Genshin is BY FAR the greediest in terms of free pulls.” Whether miHoYo will ever add a daily login rewards program similar to “May Fortune Find You” remains to be seen, but Genshin Impact fans will be hoping to see something like this added in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players think these 5-star characters would make perfect Dark Souls & Elden Ring bosses – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players think these 5-star characters would make perfect Dark Souls & Elden Ring bosses HoYoverseGenshin Impact players believe these two 5-star characters would make great bosses in Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Genshin Impact is home to some pretty tough boss fights. From fiery favorites like La Signora to the nightmarish two-phase fight of Scaramouche, HoYoverse is certainly familiar with creating some very memorable big bads. With every major content update adding new enemies to the game, there are certainly a lot of units to choose from. However, the Genshin Impact Reddit community believes that these two 5-star characters would make perfect additions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring. The most requested addition was Childe (Tartaglia), the eleventh member of the Fatui Harbingers. “Childe or Arlecchino. The small fast ones are always harder than the giant ones,” wrote one player. “Azdaha would just be sticking to that booty like 90% of Souls bosses. Childe would be the one that makes you break your controller.” Not only is Childe incredibly skilled with the ways of the sword, but he is also capable of bombarding players with the ranged attacks from his Hydro-infused bow. When you combine this with his summonable Hydro whale, you have a recipe for an incredibly tricky fight. Following close behind Childe was none other than Inazuma’s leader, Raiden Shogun. This Electro swordmaster has one of the deadliest boss fights in Genshin Impact, which is largely down to her speed and AoE Electro hits. “Raiden would be horrible because her attacks are actually really hard to read due to the void-cutting FX and the way she teleports around between each hit,” noted one Genshin player. “Radagon already proved how hard the latter is for Souls players to deal with.” While the community agreed that both Childe and Raiden are the two best options for Dark Souls and Elden Ring bosses, players also believe that Stormterror Dvalin would follow a familiar FromSoftware theme. “So the giant dragon (Stormterror Dvalin) is the easiest boss, and the human-sized one[s] are the hardest. Sounds like a Soulslike game alright,” joked another commenter.

  • Genshin Impact players think VTuber could be new Dendro character – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players think VTuber could be new Dendro character 花苓萝A Genshin Impact VTuber has been mistaken to be the upcoming Dendro Archon after fans find a number of striking similarities to the unreleased character. Genshin Impact’s Sumeru region may not have officially released, but that hasn’t stopped a number of reliable leaks from surfacing. Aside from footage of Sumeru City, a new description for the game’s upcoming Dendro Archon has been revealed. While the character’s in-game model has yet to surface, that hasn’t stopped Genshin Impact fans from trying to piece together what the Dendro Archon looks like. In fact, the recent description from a renowned leaker has caused a VTuber to be mistaken as Sumeru’s pint-sized deity. Genshin Impact Dendro Archon A renowned Genshin Impact leaker revealed that “the Dendro Archon’s attire is similar to that of Paimon’s skirt clothing,” while her hair is white with dashes of grey. While the description has given fans very little to go off, that hasn’t stopped a number of dedicated travelers from scouring the internet for clues.

  • Genshin Impact players split over ‘childish’ Summer Festival 2023 event – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players split over ‘childish’ Summer Festival 2023 event HoYoverseGenshin Impact’s latest Summer Festival event has split its community down the middle, with the battle lines drawn between ‘child’s play’ and ‘refreshing lightheartedness.’ The Summer Festival event, which showcases characters on a summer vacation to Inazuma, has sparked passionate debate on Reddit regarding its thematic tone and content in Genshin Impact. A number of players expressed disappointment, feeling that the event was overly simplistic and “extremely infantile.” One such player criticized the event’s attractions, such as the floating fox, stating, “They take zero brain power and they look straight out of a toddler’s show.” They noted the lack of complexity in the tasks and a shift in character depth, with characters like Collei and Kokomi appearing stripped of their original personalities. However, not all community feedback was critical. Some players appreciated the lighter tone of the event. One user pointed out that “after brainwashing, fighting gods, literal genocide, and some hardcore stuff, I will take the damn whimsical wonderland for an event.” Others defended the event, arguing that its aim was to focus on lighthearted, family-friendly fun. A player argued, “It’s made focusing around Klee after all, who’s actually a child, so I’m not too surprised.” However, users have made it clear that they yearn for more substance and intricacy in their puzzles and storylines, drawing attention to the more complex 2.8 Golden Apple Archipelago (GAA) event as a preferred model. Nevertheless, some users found comfort in the simplicity of the Summer Festival, enjoying the reprieve from heavier themes of past content. As one player expressed, “We were overdue for some lighthearted fun with Klee.” The mixed response to Genshin Impact’s Summer event reveals the varied expectations of the game’s diverse player base. And although the game is beloved for its character development and immersive world-building, it seems that it missed the mark for some this time around.

  • Genshin Impact players want Spiral Abyss change after Labyrinth Warriors event success – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players want Spiral Abyss change after Labyrinth Warriors event success miHoYoGenshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss grind has changed in update 2.2. While the end-game content is still being begrudgingly cleared by players, they’re calling on miHoYo to take inspiration from the current Labyrinth Warriors event to change things up. As far as Genshin Impact events go, Labyrinth Warriors has been a resounding success — so much so that players prefer to grind it compared to Spiral Abyss. While the latter is important for farming what little is there of Genshin’s end-game content (and having a bit of pride), it has gotten progressively duller since the game’s launch. Now, players are drawing inspiration from the current Labyrinth Warriors event to suggest permanent changes to Genshin Impact. Having to clear the sprawling dungeons, moving floor to floor in a methodical fashion, players are heralding it as “by far the best” event. So, what do players want miHoYo to change? One viral Reddit thread has suggested removing timers from Spiral Abyss, instead focusing on adding new, stronger enemies to freshen things up. “It would promote healthier team building and gameplay, rewarding skill and mechanics, and not make the game based on DPS checks that only make 3-4 teams viable,” Reddit user ‘gommii’ said. “Watching some floating blue cube teleport around being untargetable while a timer ticks over your head is one of the most frustrating things I’ve experienced in a video [game].” The thread got plenty of traction from the community, who want changes to the regular end-game content. “I knew the enemies in the Abyss were never too hard to begin with once you have mastered the combat mechanics in this game. It’s the timer that is hard to beat,” one user replied. However, some are critical miHoYo will ever listen to these changes, claiming increasing skill (by making fights harder) would potentially reduce “whales” spending massive amounts of money. Regardless, miHoYo could do a lot worse than making the Labyrinth Warriors event — or at least something akin to it — a permanent addition to Genshin Impact. After all, it’s been a hit with players.

  • Genshin Impact players slam “terrible design” of 4 and 5-star pity system – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players slam “terrible design” of 4 and 5-star pity system miHoYoThe four-star pity system in Genshin Impact ensures that players get either an item or four-star character every ten pulls. However, this pull system has its flaws. One of the most frustrating aspects of games like Genshin Impact is their strong focus on gacha mechanics. Named after gachapon machines, or toy vending machines, gacha is a genre within gaming that involves random pull systems. These pull systems are similar to actual toy capsule machines. You pay to play, and then receive a random “toy,” or in a game’s case, a relevant item. These can be things like characters or weapons. Understandably, many players find this annoying and wasteful. Genshin Impact’s 4 and 5-star pity system plays into this, and fans are unhappy with it. It is meant to ensure players receive a four-star character or item every ten pulls, but fans are discussing how banner four-stars are not guaranteed. Pull almost a hundred times, and you can get a five-star character. You may not, however, get the four-star you wanted. Genshin Impact players frustrated about 4-star pity pull system Players took to Reddit to express their frustration with the arguably flawed deisgn decision. In a viral post serving to open up discussion amongst the community on the pity system, users discussed their own experiences with it. The original poster called the system a “terrible design decision,” stating that it had “afflicted a few friends of mine as well, and caused one to quit.” The player stated that over 100 attempts should guarantee any featured supporting character. Fellow players quickly chimed in, sharing their own frustrations with the system. One person wrote that they “needed 172 pulls for one Gorou,” stating that they ended up lucky to get Kaveh after 48 pulls while their partner unfortunately “didn’t get a single one.” Another fan commented that they spent over a whopping 200 pulls in an attempt to get Kaveh, only to not “get a single copy.” Other players left suggestions for better systems, with one writing about developer miHoYo, “what they COULD do is have a ‘pick your 4-star’ event in regions other than Liyue.” Ideally, players would love to see the gacha system go and just be able to pick which four-star they receive, in a manner similar to how the weapon banners work. Unfortunately, the pull system is unlikely to change. If you find yourself needing a break, there are other games like Genshin Impact to check out.

  • Genshin Impact players spent $5 billion on the game in record-breaking time – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players spent $5 billion on the game in record-breaking time MihoyoGenshin Impact players have spent $5 billion on in-game purchases in record-breaking time. Ever since its release just over three years ago in late 2020, Genshin Impact has undeniably become a household name in gaming, putting gacha games and miHoYo on the map across the world. And what spawned from it was one of the highest-earning games over the past few years. Earning a jaw-dropping $3.7 billion in its first year, the highest for any game in history. Now, roughly three years and four months into Genshin’s existence, players have broken yet another record with their unimaginable amounts of spending on the game. According to a report by data.ai on the state of mobile gaming, Genshin Impact managed to gross $5 billion in just 40 months, becoming the fastest mobile game to ever do so. The second fastest game to get the accolade, Clash of Clans, took 51 months, meaning Genshin beat it by nearly a year to earn $5 billion. “This figure includes spending in the game via Apple’s App Store and Google Play,” data.ai said of their numbers. “But even absent income from third-party Android Marketplaces.” They revealed that China alone accounted for $1.5 billion in sales, being the largest contributor at 30% of sales. Japan was number two at $1.06 billion, about 21%, and the United States at three with $903 million. In fact, according to figured by GenshinLab, just the first and second reruns of Hu Tao and Yelan’s banners grossed a dizzying $46.5 million just from China’s iOS sales alone. Of course, you might realize that this only accounts for mobile sales of the game, not including purchases made in Genshin’s PC or Playstation port, meaning, Genshin has most definitely made significantly more in total sales.

  • Genshin Impact players slam “infuriating” enemy shields – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players slam “infuriating” enemy shields miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to make changes to enemy shields, particularly low-level mobs’ ones. From deadly spell-slinging Abyss Mages to the fast sword swipes of the Maguu Kenki, Genshin Impact is filled with all kinds of fearsome enemies. While many of the game’s mobs can be taken down with ease, there is one shield-based creature that continues to infuriate Genshin Impact players. Hilichurls are the most common enemy type in miHoYo’s free-to-play title. In fact, this humanoid creature is located throughout Teyvat. These club-wielding enemies often pose very little threat to travelers, but their wooden shields can quickly put a stop to even the most powerful attacks. Genshin Impact fans want Hilichurl shield changes This is especially true if you don’t have a team that can effectively shatter them. “A piece of wood the size of a dinner plate should not give [Hilichurls] 360-degree protection,” said one player. “My Raiden Shogun ult gets denied by a piece of wood. It is so infuriating, I had to stop playing the game every single time I have to deal with those Hilichurls with adamantium wood.” When Hilichurls have their shields up, there is very little the player can do until they forcibly remove the defensive item from the battle. For many players, this can instantly stop the flow of combat, forcing them to switch in a character that can effectively break through the shield. “Those things must be made of the strongest material in Teyvat because they can tank Eula’s burst and barely lose any health,” responded one frustrated user. For Pyro and Claymore units, this process is incredibly easy, but players want miHoYo to lessen the defensive properties of these humble defense items. One player even joked that Gesnhin Impact mighty Raiden Shogun can’t even shatter this simplistic shield. “I love how the strongest sword technique in Teyvat that, I cannot iterate this enough, sliced a f**king island in half, fails to break a Mitachurl’s shield.” Whether miHoYo will make any adjustments to Hilichul shields in Genshin impact’s 2.3 and 2.4 update remains to be seen, but for now, players will need to keep a character that can eliminate these pesky defensive items.

  • Genshin Impact players slam HoYoverse for lack of armored characters – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players slam HoYoverse for lack of armored characters HoYoverseSome Genshin Impact players have been left outraged after noticing there is a lack of armored characters in their fantasy game when compared to their new sci-fi RPG Honkai Star Rail. HoYoverse has developed one of the most popular gacha games around with Genshin Impact. The open-world adventure RPG has taken the world by storm since releasing in 2020. The expansive world, collectible characters, and constant updates have helped build a strong fanbase of passionate fans. In 2023, creators HoYoverse decided to expand fresh off the back of their success by introducing their sci-fi version of Honkai Star Rail. Despite its positive launch, it has led some long-term Genshin players to criticize the developers. In particular, they have called out certain features to be included in the original gacha game. Now, one player has called out the studio for not including more armored characters in its fantasy game, compared to their new sci-fi release. Genshin Impact fans call out for armored playable characters Typically, medieval weaponry and armor are littered throughout fantasy-based games. For the most part, this has rung true with Genshin in the form of several Warrior and Knight NPCs, weapon shops, and even Blacksmiths. However, as one player pointed out on Reddit, there has been a significant lack of armored-up playable characters. “How in the world are we 3 years into the game which is themed around a magical fantasy world and we have never had a single knight-looking character wearing armor except Noelle. “Meanwhile 6-month-old HSR which is a sci-fi space fantasy-themed game has 3 already,” They explained. Many agreed with one adding: “Especially since one of the first groups that were introduced to are the Knights of Favonius.” Alternatively, some took the approach that “the game has a very specific aesthetic that’s really different from HSR, and they really try to adhere to it.” These comments referred to the bolder and more vibrant designs of the main characters and world. Whether HoYoverse will add more armored characters remains unknown, but they have continued to regularly update the game, such as the upcoming 4.4 update.

  • Genshin Impact players rejoice as Arlecchino gets confirmed for 4.6 update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players rejoice as Arlecchino gets confirmed for 4.6 update HoYoverseHoYoverse, on March 11, 2024, officially revealed Arlecchino as a playable unit for Genshin Impact version 4.6. This led to a surge of excitement in the community as thousands of players rejoiced that the long-awaited character is set to become playable in just about a month. Arlecchino made her first appearance in the trailer “A Winter Night’s Lazzo” around a year back. Since then, she has appeared in Fontaine’s trailers and played a significant role in the Archon quest of the region. However, the question that a lot of players had surrounding Arlecchino was whether she would become playable or not in the game. This is because, ever since the death of Signora, players are skeptical about Fatui Harbingers becoming playable units. Fortunately, HoYoverse has confirmed with drip marketing that Arlecchino will become a playable unit in version 4.6 and players are excited about it. Genshin Impact players are ecstatic after HoYoverse confirms Arlecchino for version 4.6 Arlecchino is quite possibly one of the most anticipated units in Genshin Impact. There were leaks stating she would become playable in version 4.6, but players were unsure. However, the moment she was revealed as a playable unit on March 11, 2024, players showered the official posts with their excitement. One such player stated, “FATHER’S HOME” as Arlecchino is often addressed by that title since she is also the owner of the House of Hearth. Another player chimed in, “SHE’S REAL”, as they were relieved that all the rumors about Arlecchino becoming playable were true after all. One user also commented, “The hype for her is real. Her banner will sell like hotcake,” as they feel Arlecchino is set to become one of the most popular characters on release. Finally, another player expressed, “I feel like a lot of Hu Taos are going to be losing their staff of homa’s soon,” as they believe Arlecchino will be more effective with that weapon. The hype surrounding Arlecchino is at an all-time high and this was just her drip marketing. There is no doubt that in the coming days once her leaks start flowing in, players will get even more hyped up for her release. It would be surprising if Arlecchino does not end up becoming the highest-selling Genshin Impact character of all time.

  • Genshin Impact players slam “disappointing” Mountain Shaper & Moon Carver NPC designs – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players slam “disappointing” Mountain Shaper & Moon Carver NPC designs HoYoverseGenshin Impact players slam “disappointing” Lantern Rite festival Adepti NPC designs, with many calling for changes. The Genshin Impact Lantern Rite festival is well underway, and players from around the world are busy delving into the latest events and quests. Not only can Travelers get their hands on their free Xingqiu skin, but there’s also the 4-star character selector, which features the new Pyro character Gaming. However, not everything has gone down smoothly in the game’s community, as many players have been left disappointed with Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver’s NPC designs. This has led to players wanting the developers to overhaul their “disappointing” designs. Genshin Impact players slam Lantern Rite Adepti NPC designs “Hoyo did Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver real dirty this Lanturn Rite,” said one player. “This event only just started and I already rank this absolutely dead last of all the Lanturn rites because of this disrespect.” Other Travelers noted how lackluster their designs are, but there’s still hope that the devs will adjust their forms in future updates. “Truly a disappointment making [them] into generic NPC dudes. But let’s hope this is not their true human form yet. Maybe they will get the Cloud Retainer/Streetward Rambler treatment someday.” Another player joked about Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver’s design when compared to Xianyun (Cloud Retainer), whose human design is incredibly flashy. It’s really funny because it implies Cloud Retainer is just being extremely extra. All the Adepti, including Ping, opted for unassuming NPC designs in order to blend in among humans…Meanwhile, Cloud Retainer goes around in the flashiest outfit possible, with full body tights, bright colors, multi-colored hair, talon tipped gloves, and an entire collection of Adepti mechanisms.” It’s important to note that most Adepti take on unassuming human forms to blend into society and avoid drawing attention to themselves. So, it’s not out of place for Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver to look this way. Either way, the game’s community hopes that HoYoverse will adjust Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver’s final designs in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players protest over poor Lantern Rite rewards – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players protest over poor Lantern Rite rewards HoYoverseOn January 19, 2024, HoYoverse conducted the official livestream for Genshin Impact version 4.4. However, the rewards announced did not sit well with the fanbase, especially for Chinese players. Lantern Rite is the biggest festival in Genshin Impact since it commemorates the Chinese New Year. This festival is much bigger than the anniversary of Genshin Impact. Unfortunately, the gacha title is quite minimalist when it comes to rewarding players and the Lantern Rite gifts have not changed since the launch of the game. As it happens, players have reached a tipping point and the Chinese community especially is heartbroken and disappointed. This time the discourse is even greater because the other games by HoYoverse, Honkai Star Rail, and Honkai Impact 3, rewarded its players with free 5-star units. However, the biggest reward that Genshin Impact players have received is free 10 wishes which amount to almost nothing. Genshin Impact accounts in China lose millions of followers overnight The discourse primarily came into focus when the Genshin Impact Tiktok account in China lost over a million followers in about 24 hours. The news soon reached the global playerbase and they started speaking up about that as well. It is no surprise that the global Genshin Impact community has been disappointed for quite a while, especially with rewards during the anniversary. Back during the first anniversary, the global fanbase review bombed Genshin Impact out of anger which prompted HoYoverse to provide 1600 Primogems, though that was all the players received. However, the Chinese community being angry at HoYoverse has led to greater results, with the developers being forced to buff Zhongli back in 2021. This time, the situation is not much different as not just Tiktok, but Genshin Impact’s official account on Bilibili is getting review bombed by Chinese players. Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact signifies the Chinese New Year and HoYoverse belonging to the same country means this is the biggest event within the game. Hence, it is natural for players to expect the maximum rewards at this time of the year. However, HoYoverse simply giving out a couple of free Intertwined Fates even after all the support players have shown over the years feels disrespectful to the Chinese fanbase. Additionally, Genshin Impact’s rewards look bleaker by the day when compared to HoYoverse’s other titles where players are receiving free 5-star units. It is unclear what step HoYoverse will take surrounding the matter. This is because there were reports that HoYoverse is allegedly using bot accounts to maintain its follower counts. It is quite unlikely that HoYoverse will give out a free 5-star to its players, but they might add in some additional rewards to calm down the fanbase. In any case, we will update you with further information once the situation develops a bit more in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players praise Lantern Rite Festival after “horrible” last year – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise Lantern Rite Festival after “horrible” last year miHoYoThe Genshin Impact Fleeting Colors in Flight event is well underway, and players have praised miHoYo for their improvements over last year’s Lantern Rite Festival. The new Genshin Impact Lantern Rite Festival, also known as Fleeting Colors in Flight, has proven hugely popular amongst the game’s community. Not only have travelers praised the event for its new character interactions and rewards, many people within the community also believe it is a step in the right direction for the popular open-world game. This is in direct contrast to last year’s Lantern Rite Festival, which saw minimal appearances from characters such as Xiao and lackluster event activities. In fact, Fleeting Colors in Flight has greatly improved upon a number of areas, demonstrating that miHoYo is keen to listen to its player base. Genshin Impact fans praise new Lantern Rite Festival One of the biggest draws of this year’s Lantern Rite Festival is the number of interactions between the game’s characters. While Keqing is the star of the show this year, there have been a number of overworld appearances and cutscenes with other characters, too. Previously, the event featured dialogue from random NPCs and a small segment from Xiao – the game’s 5-star Adeptus. This didn’t go down well with the community, with many voicing their frustrations over the lack of world-building and character development. Fast forward to 2022, and it seems miHoYo has seemingly rectified these issues. “The current Lantern Rite managed to fix lots of these issues, and really does show the power of feedback,” explained one player. “We had loads of interactions with the characters, and we can even talk to them in the open world. We also had some quests to introduce the in-game events…and had memorable NPCs in cutscenes, which also gave more life to the event. Overall this event was amazing, and a major step up to last year.” The ability to unlock a free 4-stars and create fireworks has also been a huge hit amongst Genshin Impact players, rewarding those that login to partake in the ongoing festivities. For many, the new Fleeting Colors in Flight event is a step in the right direction and we certainly can’t wait to see what the future holds for Genshin Impact.

  • Genshin Impact players praise miHoYo for Albedo & Eula simultaneous reruns in update 2.3 – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise miHoYo for Albedo & Eula simultaneous reruns in update 2.3 miHoYoIn a move that’s been praised by Genshin Impact fans, developer MiHoYo announced the addition of a new event type in update 2.3, Character Event Wish-2, with Albedo and Eula both included in the first such celebration. Genshin Impact remains a hugely popular franchise more than a year after its release, and is coming off a strong Anniversary Celebration event to cap off that first year of content in the world of Teyvat. However, Genshin continues to struggle under heavy criticism from its fanbase over various gameplay mechanics — in particular, the game’s rewards (or lack thereof) remain a hot-button topic for even the most hardcore fans. Despite this, developer MiHoYo scored a win with players by announcing the introduction of Wish-2 events, which will offer a chance to grab two Wishes at once. To top that off, they also announced the return of both Albedo and Eula during the first of these occurrences. Genshin players praise MiHoYo for Albedo and Eula reruns In a November 12 blog post, MiHoYo delighted fans by revealing the new Wish-2 events, which offer players a guaranteed chance to obtain at least one five-star Wish — and the potential to obtain two different characters featured on separate banners during that event. In addition, they also shared that the first such double offering would feature reruns of Albedo and Eula — a welcome chance for fans to snag at least one of these characters if they haven’t picked them up already. This announcement was met with an outpouring of gratitude from the Genshin community, with players praising the studio for incorporating additional chances to obtain older characters during these reruns. “It’s not like they’re gonna make new characters faster, so we’ll have the same rate of new characters but the reruns will come faster, so less one-year wait times,” one player commented. “It significantly reduces the FOMO factor if MiHoYo opens the door for more frequent reruns despite the expanding five-star roster,” another fan confirmed. “This is cool,” a third player remarked, before speculating “Imagine if they have double reruns of characters with great signature weapons. Xiao and Ganyu would be Amos and Jade Spear. Pretty spicy.” The Genshin Impact community can’t seem to get enough of this new idea from MiHoYo. With both Albedo and Eula on offer during the first Wish-2 event, scheduled to kick off after the 2.3 update drops on November 24, this will be a great opportunity to grab two characters you might have missed before.

  • Genshin Impact players praise HoYoverse over “amazing” Neuvillette design – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise HoYoverse over “amazing” Neuvillette design HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact community has praised HoYoverse for the release of Neuvillette, hailing the 5-star Hydro character as a “triumph” in both design and gameplay. The Neuvillette banner was released in the Genshin Impact 4.1 update and since then, players from around the world have been busy getting to grips with him. This powerful Hydro character is known to unleash surging torrents of water, which deal huge amounts of AoE Hydro damage in the game. In fact, his charged blasts and powerful waterfalls are incredibly damaging, especially when you use the best Neuvillette build. However, Genshin Impact fans aren’t just enamored with his powerful kit, they are also in love with his amazing animations and design – with many praising HoYoverse for their hard work. Genshin Impact players love Neuvillette design and gameplay Writing on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page, one player noted how Neuvillete is a “triumph” in gameplay. “Excellent designed kit, super satisfying to use, amazing animations and design, fun to play. I do find a lot of usable team compositions that while it does not necessarily maximize damage output on him, are still logical, fun to play, and very powerful.” Others have even stated that Neuvillette has managed to finally dethrone another fan-favorite character, that has remained at the top of popularity rankings since his release. “Finally! After almost 3 years, Zhongli is dethroned as the most God-like male playable character.” Many Travelers were keen to point out how great Neuvillette’s backstory and VAs are, which has only sparked further excitement for future character releases. “I pray Arlecchino and all future characters will be fed and treated with as much love as Neuvillette was,” one commenter replied. “Amazing character and incredible kit.” Another player highlighted how Genshin Impact is still evolving and exciting fans, despite Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero being a big focus: “Genshin kits definitely are evolving in a big way now. They would’ve never touched their constellation and charged attacks before and now we have both in a short timespan.” Whether HoYoverse will be able to top Neuvillette in future updates remains to be seen, but it’s clear the Hydro 5-star has reignited many players’ love for Genshin Impact.

  • Genshin Impact players praise HoYoverse for “unhinged” Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain event – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise HoYoverse for “unhinged” Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain event HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact community has praised HoYoverse for its latest 4.4 event, which players believe fixes a long-standing problem within the game. Genshin Impact’s 4.4 update is well underway and so far players have praised the new 5-star Anemo user Xianyun and 4-star Pyro wielder Gaming. The game’s new Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu skins have also gone down well with the community. However, one of the biggest surprises was the introduction of a new event – Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain. This event has received praise from the Genshin Impact community, with many loving the “unhinged” nature of its introduction. Genshin Impact players praise Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain event “Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain is the most unhinged event in Genshin’s history, and I’m weirdly for it. It’s not perfect, but they’re trying something new,” wrote one Traveler on the Genshin Impact Reddit page. For those who haven’t played the latest event, Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain tasks players with using a floating mask (The Eye of Upano) to jump between Hilichurl or Anemo Slimes. The aim is to sneak through the Hilichurl camps without getting detected by the enemy. Once players have found enough clues, they’ll then face off with the Mystifying Megachurl – a gigantic Hilichurl launches cabbages at players. It’s all rather bonkers and unlike past events, Journey Through Hilinigmatic Terrain doesn’t feature lengthy dialogue or unskippable cutscenes. “I’m all for it. Don’t need a cutscene/dialogue for these types of quick gameplay events,” commented one player. “Don’t need your arbitrary Sumeru research thesis or whatever, just give me the gameplay and the rewards.” Others were also keen to highlight how fun the gameplay was. “The gameplay is fun too though, and all the more enjoyable without having to sit through a bunch of boring text bloat that’s there because the writers were forced to make up something, and neither the players nor writers enjoyed it too much.” Whether HoYoverse will continue this theme in future events remains to be seen, but it’s clear that fans haven’t missed the bloated dialogue.

  • Genshin Impact players praise Fontaine’s ‘innovative’ gameplay twist – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise Fontaine’s ‘innovative’ gameplay twist HoYoverseThe release of Genshin Impact’s 4.0 update has brought the much-anticipated Fontaine region to players, and one gameplay twist is receiving particular praise: the non-hostile behavior of aquatic creatures. Unlike other regions in the game, many of Fontaine’s animals and elemental beings are benign, attacking only if provoked. It’s been a welcome change for Genshin Impact players who have long been needlessly attacked while roaming Teyvat. Players expressed their admiration on Reddit in a thread titled “Fontaine is quite innovative because…” with the original poster bringing to attention, “In all the nations so far most of the animals and elemental beings in the wild are hostile. Not in Fontaine though. Many of those aquatic creatures are so benign and mind their own business. It’s so cute. They attack back only if we attack.” This sentiment was echoed by others in the community. One player noted that “A pet peeve of mine is when creatures act like mindless killing machines, so seeing the wildlife in Fontaine behave like actual animals is pretty refreshing.” Another shared their experience, writing, “Honestly I had to unlock a chest by defeating some aquatic creatures. Whatever I did the aquatic creatures did not attack until I started attacking. Was actually quite reluctant to take the chest.” The innovative approach to underwater gameplay in Fontaine extends beyond the creatures’ behavior. The region introduces a new stamina bar for swimming, Recovery Orbs for recharging, and limited underwater combat abilities. Players can also absorb abilities from aquatic creatures for defensive purposes. The community’s reaction to the non-hostile creatures and the overall underwater gameplay has been overwhelmingly positive. One player commented on the reduced stress levels in underwater combat, stating that “The devs have ensured to reduce the stress levels and levels of annoyance when traversing the water. Hence why there’s also no oxygen meter.” As the fifth region added to Genshin Impact, Fontaine continues to take players on a fresh fantasy journey, with its non-hostile creatures providing a refreshing change of pace. But as one commenter jokingly noted, players should enjoy this while they can because in the future Natlan update, the region worships Murata, the Pyro Archon and God of War, there could be a significant shift from the gameplay dynamics experienced in Fontaine.

  • Genshin Impact players praise “fantastic” Arataki Itto story quest – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players praise “fantastic” Arataki Itto story quest miHoYoGenshin Impact’s Arataki Itto story quest has proven incredibly popular amongst fans, with many praising its dialogue and pacing. Arataki Ittto is the latest 5-star character to be added to Genshin Impact’s 2.4 update. Not only has his devilish design and powerful kit proven incredibly popular amongst the game’s playerbase, but his story quest has also been receiving a lot of praise. Genshin Impact is home to a wide variety of colorful characters, but it’s only during the game’s story quests that players get to delve deeper into their motives and personalities. However not every character receives the same treatment. In fact, many players have often been left disappointed by the game’s character interactions and quest lines, with many choosing to skip the dialogue altogether. However, Arataki Itto’s story quest has been praised for its character development. Genshin Impact players praise Arataki Itto story quest The Arataki Itto banner has finally been added to the game, which means many Genshin Impact players will be spending their hard-earned Primogems on unlocking him. However, just like most character updates, miHoYo has added a new story quest to the game. This time, players get to spend some time with Inazuma’s resident troublemaker. Despite his demonic appearance, Itto is known for his kindhearted personality and willingness to help others. When he’s not busy pulling pranks and picking fights with Kujou Sara, the mischievous character can often be found fighting off Inazuma’s bad guys. It’s this playful personality that has made Arataki Itto a fan-favorite amongst travelers, particularly amongst those that played his story quest. “The cutscenes were amazing, and I really loved listening to Itto talking, especially when we were traveling to a destination or fighting the enemies,” explained one player. “I love how this quest really showcased Itto’s genuine personality. When the quest ended, I was feeling very warm and satisfied.” Read More: Raiden Shogun banner rerun in Genshin Impact – This is in stark contrast to Genshin Impact’s Kokomi story quest, which angered the community for its overall quality and portrayal of the Divine Priestess. “I’ve found myself skipping most dialogue in the last few versions,” replied another player. “ However, I let Itto speak every word. His voice actor is so enthusiastic and into the role, that it just made me so happy.” Whether Shenhe’s story quest will receive the same level of praise remains to be seen, but Genshin Impact fans will be hoping miHoYo continues to perfect its character interactions in Genshin Impact’s 2.5 update.

    Genshin Impact player’s pet dog goes viral after pulling 5-star Eula Pixabay / miHoYoA Genshin Impact player’s pet dog went viral online they after pulled 5-star hero Eula with just one Wish. Whether you are a ‘whale’ or a free-to-play user, any Genshin Impact fan knows the pain of saving up Primogems to pull for a specific 5-star hero, only to get a 3-star weapon instead. One player hit the ultimate stroke of when their pet dog managed to get Knights of Favonius Captain Eula. The adorable puppy had the community gushing after it scored the Claymore user. Pet dog goes viral pulling 5-star Genshin Impact character Originally released in Genshin Impact version 1.5, Claymore user Eula made her return in November 2021’s re-run banner. While many have spent weeks trying to get the character, one player unlocked the heroine after they let their pet puppy make a Wish in the game. In a video uploaded to the r/Genshin_Impact forum, user ‘LostWings7’ can be seen taking the paw of their dog and pressing it down on their iPad to initiate the banner. “How to get Eula: Get a puppy to wish,” the MiHoYo fan wrote. Incredibly, after just using up the single Wish, the familiar cutscene turned to gold as the canine was able to score Eula with just one try. The clip immediately went viral on the social media site as players of the gacha game fell in love with the lucky pooch. “Imma need that puppy,” a player reacted to the video. Another exclaimed, “Let him with on Gorou.” Other Eula fans asked to borrow the pet for their own luck. “May I borrow your pupper for a moment? I need Eula,” a user replied. Of course, it should be pointed out that it’s entirely possible for the user to have used up their Pity and also have previously lost on the 50/50 guaranteed 5-star pull. But come on, it’s a cute puppy wishing for Eula in Genshin Impact – are we really going to be cynical here? Whether perfectly timed by the player or just an incredibly lucky dog, the video was a major hit with fans. One thing’s for sure, many will now be holding their pets tightly for good luck when Arataki Itto makes his debut on December 14, 2021.

  • Genshin Impact players look to new competitor following lackluster updates – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players look to new competitor following lackluster updates Hotta StudiosA new Genshin Impact style game has entered its beta phase and players think it could be the perfect competitor. Genshin Impact continues to prove incredibly popular around the world, but many fans are now hoping that a new competitor will come along. Despite miHoYo’s free-to-play title garnering a lot of positivity from the community, there are also a number of issues that need to be addressed. From the severe lack of end-game content to glitches that sabotage games, Genshin Impact’s beautiful world is far from perfect. While Genshin has already started to spawn a wave of strikingly similar open-world titles, OnGame Too believes that Tower of Fantasy – a new open-world game could be the perfect competitor to Genshin Impact. Tower of Fantasy could be a Genshin Impact competitor At a first glance, Tower of Fantasy looks strikingly similar to Genshin. While its colorful anime aesthetic and vibrant open-world mechanics may have been inspired by miHoYo’s free-to-play title, there are a number of core differences that make it stand out from the copycat crowd. As highlighted in OnGame Too’s video, Tower of Fantasy enables players to fully customize their characters – an area that is not present in Genshin Impact. “ In Tower of Fantasy, you can customize your character quite freely,” explained OnGame Too. “From changing the body shape to facial features. You can even change your own costume.” While the exploration element of the game has the same climbing and glider mechanics, the in-game battle system appears to opt for a more hack and slash approach. In one section of the trailer, the main character can be seen clambering on top of a robotic enemy to deliver some lethal backstabs. In fact, Tower of Fantasy’s combat seems to share a close resemblance to miHoYo’s other free-to-play title, Honkai Impact 3rd. This will likely be a positive for any fans that prefer to sweep their foes off their feet with lightning-fast combos. If that wasn’t promising enough, the upcoming open-world game also enables players to utilize hoverboards, motorcycles, and futuristic aircraft when navigating the world around them. This will likely speed up any overworld backtracking and provide a fun way to explore the various environments. While Tower of Fantasy doesn’t currently have a global release date, it’s clear that Genshin Impact could soon have a potential competitor in the near future.

  • Genshin Impact players “hyped” for Chiori banner release date ahead of 4.5 update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players “hyped” for Chiori banner release date ahead of 4.5 update HoYoverseGenshin Impact players can’t wait to roll for Chiori when her banner goes live in the 4.5 update, with many praising HoYoverse for her design and personality. Chiori is an upcoming Geo character that will be playable in the upcoming 4.5 update, which will add her banner to the game. While this update is still a ways off, the recent Chiori splash art reveal has fans even more hyped for her release. As the owner and lead designer at Chioriya Boutique, Chiori is no stranger to the world of fashion. The fashionista is known to have been “obstinate, headstrong, and disobedient from a young age,” values which have given her great success. Well, it seems like this success could be translated into high banner sales if the recent hype behind Chiori translates to her debut. Genshin Impact players hyped for Chiori banner release HoYoverse revealed Chiori’s Vision in the Roses and Muskets event, and many players are hyped to have another Geo character added to the game. “To be honest, her personality is giving Geo vibes to me waaay more than Electro,” said one commenter. “Also the whole ‘pursuing a goal and never giving up in the face of aversion’ is super Geo too!” Another Genshin player noted how fast the devs have been with her release, especially since she was only recently revealed. “I’m surprised at how quickly we got playable Chiori but excited to see her coming next. Looks like geo’s back on the menu now.” As the owner of Chioriya Boutique, Chiori is known throughout Fontaine for her stylish clothing designs. So, it’s no wonder that the Genshin community is praising the stylish character for her overall design. “She’s honestly one of the prettiest characters yet,” commented one player. “Her design is so satisfying with the bright orange dress and then the darker shades of her gloves, tights, brunette hair, and red eyes.” Chiori fans are also loving the character’s “sassy” personality, which many believe makes her stand out from other characters. “The one who can rival Yae for Sass is coming, she won me over so hard in her first appearance and now she is dual-wielding in her splash. They are very successful in selling me on Chiori.” Chiori will be released in the Genshin Impact 4.5 update, which goes live in March 2024.

  • Genshin Impact players list crossovers they want from Honkai Star Rail & Honkai Impact 3rd – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players list crossovers they want from Honkai Star Rail & Honkai Impact 3rd HoYoverseGenshin Impact collabs have been few and far between, but that hasn’t stopped the game’s community from revealing their most highly requested additions. Genshin Impact collabs have been some of the most highly requested features, with many Travelers wanting HoYoverse to host crossover events. After all, the developers previously hosted collabs in Honkai Impact 3rd, where both Genshin Impact characters and even popular anime like Evangelion have been featured. However, when it comes to Genshin Impact, the collaborations have been nonexistent, well, aside from the crossover event with Guerrilla Games that added Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy to the game. Despite this, the Genshin Impact community remains hopeful and has highlighted the collaborations they’d like to see added in the future. Genshin Impact players reveal collabs they want to see “Blade from Honkai: Star Rail would be my pick,” said one player. “Self sustain DPS, consume health for damage, special attack heals you, and his ultimate deals big damage – either healing you when you’re below 50% HP or consuming HP if you’re above 50%.” Genshin Impact fans were also keen for HoYoverse to throw in a specific free 5-star, that previously caused quite a stir in the community. “I would like it to be Dr. Ratio and give him for free just because it would actually be hilarious,” joked one player. Another Traveler was also keen to highlight another character who would make for a comical collab. “Hoyoverse could do the funniest thing ever and just have the same exact Welt Yang in all 3 universes, and I’d eat that sh*t up.” One character that received a lot of attention was Yanqing, the gifted swordsman who is known for his lethal single-target damage and deadly. In fact, many players believe the young lieutenant would perform better in Genshin Impact. “Yanqing, specifically because his passive/main gimmick is screwed over by being in the wrong game,” noted one Player. “He loses all benefits if he takes damage in a game where DOT goes through player shields, so he can’t function unless you babysit him with shielders and have other units to draw aggro for a chance of him not being hit which can still fail, but in Genshin you can just use dash invulnerability frames to avoid damage and also Zhongli exists. Aside from the Honkai Star Rail character requests, the Geenshin Impact community also made suggestions from Honkia Impact 3rd, HoYoverse’s other free to play game. “Herrscher of Sentience from Honkai Impact 3rd, I need to have her join the Traveler and just cause chaos, but when you need it the most, Senti will be the second plot armour and she’ll soak up all the praise once it’s over,” explained one player. “I would love to see her and Paimon bicker with each other. Gameplay wise, she would be absolutely crazy. A defence shred just by having her ult on, it is also like Noelle ult, you can swap out and back and her ult will still be on. Her dps will also be amazing. Since she is the almighty Herrscher of Sentience, she will never fall out of meta just like in HI3.”

  • Genshin Impact players have fallen in love with “adorable” Natlan companion – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players have fallen in love with “adorable” Natlan companion HoYoverseOn August 2, 2024, HoYoverse uploaded a new Genshin Impact Natlan preview teaser trailer, showcasing an “adorable” creature that has quickly caught the attention of the game’s community. Genshin Impact players have quickly become infatuated with the “Lil’ Buddy” teaser trailer, which focuses on an incredibly cute critter as they venture through Natlan. This tiny two-legged creature accompanies the Traveler and Paimon, before getting distracted by a bird and following it around the new region’s environments. While the trailer gives Genshin fans an early look at some new POIs and a deadly enemy type, it’s the game’s cute creature that has players collectively losing their minds. Posting on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page, the Genshin Impact community shared their thoughts on this little critter. “Call me Nahida the Dendro Archon because I’m already filing the adoption papers. Where are they?” joked one player. “I am ready to die for this little burrowing dragon-thing,” wrote another Traveler. Other players were also keen to highlight how his “chonky” size just adds to the cuteness even further. “Oh lawd he comin’. So chonky, so cute.” Fortunately, it seems this “Lil’ Buddy” will serve a purpose in the Natlan update and is more than just a cute critter. HoYoVerse noted the following underneath the preview trailer: “A new adventure brings new buddies. Though this lil’ buddy is still a youngling, he will do his utmost to accompany you on your journey.” It’s also interesting to note, that the people of Natlan have a tradition of keeping Saurian (dragon) companions. We also got to see some Saurian gameplay in the first Natlan teaser, with the “Lil’ Buddy” shown burrowing underground and effortlessly scaling walls. So, we can expect to see more of this pint-sized dragon when Natlan releases in the Version 5.0 update, which is expected on August 28, 2024. You can read more about the 5.0 update via our handy hub here.

  • Genshin Impact players furious over Hu Tao “breaking” co-op mode – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players furious over Hu Tao “breaking” co-op mode miHoYoAfter making her return to Genshin Impact in November 2021, players are complaining that Hu Tao is ‘ruining’ the miHoYo’s RPG’s co-op mode. Ever since her debut in Genshin Impact’s Update 1.3, players have been desperate to get another shot at Hu Tao. The Liyue funeral parlor Director is one of the most powerful characters in the game, dealing insane critical damage when paired with the Staff of Homa. The 5-star character’s rerun in November, however, has created a major problem in the RPG’s co-op mode as stated in a viral post. According to many players, the heroine’s playstyle gimmick has led some fans to spoil the miHoYo title’s online matchmaking. Is Hu Tao ruining Genshin Impact co-op? Hu Tao is able to execute a mind-blowing amount of damage once her health drops below 50%. Living up to her title of funeral Director, players have to master a playstyle of constantly keeping the heroine on the edge of death to land massive damage to enemies. The unique mechanic has created major problems with the miHoYo RPG’s co-op mode according to the community. In a viral post on the r/GenshinImpact forum, a user detailed experiencing a wave of players obsessing over landing large critical damage while ignoring the rest of the enemies immune to fire. “While co-oping the Crimson Witch domain, I’ve seen a few people bring HuTao into the domain,” they wrote. “Then when the Pyro Slimes come up they do absolutely nothing, no attacking whatsoever. And then they only start attacking with their skill activated for the other 2 waves. They literally just bring Hu Tao to flex. And this has happened multiple times.” The player was not alone in their negative experience, as other fans also detailed running into the same problem in co-op mode since Hu Tao’s rerun launched in Update 2.2. “One of the reasons I don’t ever co-op unless I’m helping someone. Just makes domains harder,” a player wrote. “It happened when Hu Tao first came out as well. One of the most annoying (and honestly unbelievable) is when I met a Hu Tao in Crimson Witch who used her E against the Pyro Slimes,” another said. Several fans pointed out that another reason players focused on only landing high damage is to raise the friendship level of their character. “Maybe they’re raising her friendship? That said, it’s pretty sh**ty in random co-op” and “They want to build up friendship XP faster. I think you get double friendship XP in co-op so it’s sort of two birds, one stone,” two comments read. Based on the many experiences fans posted, this appears to be a much larger issue than Hu Tao. Whenever a new 5-star character is introduced or a rerun event happens, players are using co-op to quickly raise friendship levels up. At the time of writing, miHoYo has yet to respond to the backlash. Only time will tell if they ever address it. As a precaution, it’s probably best to avoid the online mode until a few weeks after the banner refresh.

  • Genshin Impact players furious over “terrible” Neuvillette nerf in 4.8 update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players furious over “terrible” Neuvillette nerf in 4.8 update HoYoverseGenshin Impact players are calling out HoYoverse over a Neuvillette nerf, which has made the 5-star Hydro character “terrible” to play. As part of the Genshin Impact 4.8 update, HoYoverse has made adjustments to Neuvillette’s charged attack. Before the patch, the Hydro character could rotate his water beam at high speeds, enabling him to quickly acquire new targets. This enabled players to rapidly spin 360 degrees, dealing damage to all enemies simultaneously. Well, it turns out that this was a bug and not an intentional part of his kit. As of July 17, 2024, HoYoverse has now fixed this issue and rewarded players with free Primogems. However, following the change to Neuvillette’s charged attack, Genshin players have taken to social media to voice their anger over the “terrible” nerf. Genshin Impact fans slam Neuvillette nerf “It just seems really clunky by how they’re force-slowing him. He feels way worse to play than he did before,” wrote one unhappy player on the Genshin Impact Reddit page. “I hope they revert it like the Yae Miko totem bug fix.” Others were keen to highlight how HoYoverse could nerf Neuvillette’s beam speed without making him feel clunky to play. “Rather than nerf the camera rotation, HoYoverse could have limited the hitscan to only hit targets seen in the first 90°s of rotation every 0.4s,” explained one commenter. “This way rapid spinning around would cause a DPS loss (which is fair), without the clunky gameplay.” Since the nerf went live, players have reported that using Neuv’s beam is now extremely difficult to sue against more mobile enemies. This is especially true when facing bosses like Childe and Arlecchino, who use their agility to weave in attacks. The problems don’t just end there though, as even killing Spiral Abyss mobs is proving tricky – an area that is needed for clearing floors within the time limit. “I just played a few hours ago and even though I positioned Neuv a bit far for him to easily hit many enemies just by turning, it sucks,” wrote another Neuv main. “Prior to the nerf I could kill both final 2 enemies on his Artifact domain just by switching. now, I can’t do it. wastes too much time switching even with proper positioning.” Some members of the Genshin community also believe HoYoverse has tactically nerfed Neuvillette to push more people into rolling for Mualani. This character will be released in the Natlan update, alongside Mavuika and other new units. While it’s currently unknown whether the devs will make any additional adjustments to Neuvillette’s beam speed, the devs have now outlined all the characters that will be coming in the Natlan update, so be sure to check them out here.

  • Genshin Impact players furious at miHoYo over “useless” free 4-star weapon – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players furious at miHoYo over “useless” free 4-star weapon miHoYoGenshin Impact players are furious after a leak claimed to reveal the next free 4-star weapon for update 2.3. Fans of the miHoYo gacha RPG argue the new sword is “useless.” With every new update in Genshin Impact, miHoYo likes to give away free rewards to entice users to participate in the latest content. However, some fans are angry after a datamine revealed what is likely to be the game’s next free weapon. According to the new leak, fans who log in during Update 2.3 in December 2021 can get their hands on the Cinnabar Spindle 4-star sword. Some players are furious, though, calling the weapon one of the “worst” items the developer has offered. Genshin Impact fans hate free weapon in Update 2.3 While not 100% confirmed, dataminers in October revealed that players will likely be given the Cinnabar Spindle 4-Star Sword for free in December after completing a special event that takes place in Dragonspire. The only problem is, the sword’s main stat is entirely focused on Defense, which the majority of characters that use the weapon do not rely on. The item appears to be aimed at Geo character Albedo. It makes sense given the event is said to be based around the hero. The item’s niche usage didn’t sit well with some players, though, who took to social media and forums to vent their frustrations. “This is free? It’s absolutely useless for everyone but Albedo,” a player reacted. Another agreed and said, “Should’ve just made it a five-star sword and given a different weapon out for free, this isn’t good on anybody except for Albedo lol.” Other fans accused miHoYo of wasting one of the best-looking weapons in the game to date. “What a waste of a gorgeous sword to be an only Abedo weapon, pain,” a fan wrote. “It’s the best looking four-star weapon in the game and it’s borderline unusable on any character that’s not Albedo, and even for Albedo it’s not a huge jump over the Harbinger of Dawn.” Despite the backlash, not every player is angry. Albedo mains in particular are overjoyed by the possibility of getting Cinnabar Spindle. Not only does the sword look incredible with the character, but its Defense stat specifically synergizes with his abilities. The point of contention, it seems, is that some fans believe that the free weapon should be geared towards more than one character. After all, not everyone has the 5-star Geo hero. Only time will tell if miHoYo will listen to complaints or if it even makes its way to the game.

  • Genshin Impact players furious as event glitch keeps sabotaging games – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players furious as event glitch keeps sabotaging games miHoYoSome Genshin Impact fans are outraged after a bug tied to the Labyrinth Warriors event is ruining their Spiral Abyss runs and boss battles. The bizarre glitch is leaving characters dead in seconds and the community wants miHoYo to fix it now. As a part of Genshin Impact’s 2.2 update, miHoYo rolled out the Labyrinth Warriors event. The semi-dungeon crawler domain has so far been a massive hit with the gacha RPG’s community. That is, until a new glitch was discovered. According to many fans, a bug tied to the mode has been wreaking havoc on players and leaving their characters dead at the worst time possible. Genshin Impact event glitch is sabotaging players During the Labyrinth Warriors Event, players can only tackle one section of the domain every few days. The mode doesn’t progress until a certain amount of time has passed. The feature’s design has created an unintentional headache for users according to multiple reports. The issue was first highlighted in a viral thread on the r/GenshinImpact forum when ‘arzenalvilkiss’ posted a video of the bug. “[Today I learned] event intros can ruin your Abyss runs,” they titled their post, which included a video of their Abyss attempt being interrupted by the event. In the clip, the player is in the heat of battle when a notification appears on screen notifying them that Labyrinth Warriors: Pt II “Pushing On” has started. During the message pop-up, the user’s character continues to be pummeled by enemies while not being able to move, eventually killing them. The Genshin Impact player wasn’t the only one to report the glitch. The community took to social media to vent their frustrations and share their similar experiences. “Happened to me too a couple hours ago. I can’t believe it can show up in the abyss, I was in the middle of a fight,” a user wrote. Another said, “Happened to me. My Raiden Shogun got killed with her fully stacked resolve.” Other reports began to pour in stating that the bug wasn’t just tied to the Abyss but can happen anywhere. “Happened to me when I was artifact farming. Rosaria fell down a cliff as the notification appeared as soon as I jumped and was trying to deploy my wing glider,” a fan exclaimed. Users also detailed dying in the middle off important situations such as boss fights. “Happened today while I was fighting Dvalin, and it caused me to fall off the platforms” and “Exact thing happened to me. Paimon started talking and Maguu Kenkin sent poor Rosaria to heaven” were just two of the many comments. While this isn’t the first time an event reset has been tied to as specific time, the Labyrinth Warriors event appears to be more sporadic and widespread. Many players begged miHoYo to to push through an emergency patch to fix the situation. At the time of writing, the developer has yet to respond to the backlash. One thing’s for certain, though – if you plan on adventuring in Teyvat, make sure to look at the mission’s details as it will list the time window of when the mission can start. If not, it might just pop up at the worst timing possible and cost you.

  • Genshin Impact players explain why “wasted potential” dungeons need changes – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players explain why “wasted potential” dungeons need changes miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to add better dungeons as One-Time Domains and Spiral Abyss continue to disappoint. Genshin Impact’s lack of end-game content is proving to be a problem for many players, especially for those that have completed the main story and available side quests. In fact, once these two areas have been wrapped up, there is very little to do in the world of Teyvat. While farming for the best Artifacts and defeating bosses for key Ascension materials will keep you busy for a few hours, it’s far from the end-game grind that Genshin Impact fans had initially hoped for. It’s now been a year since the release of Genshin Impact and players are still begging miHoYo to add more difficult content. After all, grinding Domains and completing the same daily quests can get extremely tedious, especially when the next update is months away. Genshin Impact players call for better dungeons Aside from the standard Domains that are scattered around Teyvat, Genshin Impact also includes mini-dungeons. Unlike the game’s standard Domains, these One-Time dungeons task players with solving puzzles, fighting enemy-filled rooms, and even using their gliders to reach certain objectives. For example, the Domain of the Wayward Path tasks players with using a Geo character to activate five pillars in order to reach the endpoint. However, every pillar that is activated will also change the state of the two adjacent pillars. Read More: Genshin Impact Scaramouche leaks – It’s a fairly simple puzzle and one that can be solved fairly quickly, but it does show the potential of what future dungeon content could look like. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these dungeons revolve around killing the same enemy mobs. “Dungeons are wasted in general, so many choices to be had with them, yet 90% of dungeon play is just fighting random enemies in a single room/arena,” said quebae. “I agree, some are such wasted experiences,” replied Coincedence. “Some of the early-game ones had some decent areas with puzzles and mechanics like glider bombing. Would love to see some weekly repeatable puzzle domains.” The fact that these One-Time Domains are never used during story and side quest content has also raised a number of questions in the community. In fact, the Inazuma Chapter 2, Act 3 quest recently took players to a Fatui Delusion Factory. This was supposed to be a big reveal in the game’s main story, but instead, players simply entered the site through a small crevice on the side of a mountain. Read More: Genshin Impact 2.4 leaks – “There’s a bunch of perfectly good and largely unutilized Domains with proper entrances, but no, let’s have the characters walk into a random hole in some rocks and use it as a One-Time Domain that you can never go back into again for absolutely no reason at all,” explained monkeyDberzerk. It’s certainly a frustrating issue for the Genshin Impact community, particularly when miHoYo has demonstrated that Domains can feature puzzles and various traversal challenges. We’ll have to wait to see if the developers improve Genshin Impact’s end-game content in the 2.3 and 2.4 updates.

  • Genshin Impact players frustrated over “disappointing” Eula attack bug – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players frustrated over “disappointing” Eula attack bug miHoYoGenshin Impact players have been spending Primogems like no tomorrow trying to win Eula through her Banner, so some are a little miffed to discover her attack animation is bugged. The Cryo-based heroine has been a huge hit with fans since she was revealed, with many bursting at the seams with anticipation for her release. And on May 18, she was finally made available with her own Banner. As with every five-star character, obtaining her is down to pure luck; fortunate players get her with a Wish or two, and some never get the drop even after spending 50. So it is understandable then that some aren’t happy to find out one of her animations doesn’t work properly. Genshin Impact Eula animation bug Of course, an attack animation being bugged isn’t as big of a deal as, say, a character being invincible or getting no cooldowns. Nonetheless, some fans are still annoyed. As first pointed out in the Chinese Genshin Impact community and then posted onto the r/Genshin_Impact subreddit, when performing Eula’s normal attack chain, her second move is disconnected from the first.

  • Genshin Impact players divided over Tighnari voice actor controversy – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players divided over Tighnari voice actor controversy HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact community is divided over controversy surrounding Tighnari and his voice actor Elliot Gindi. Some players have called the English pronunciation of the Arabic name “racist”, targeting the actor and uncovering old messages of him using racial slurs. The launch of Sumeru in Genshin Impact has been a joy for players, especially those looking forward to more cultural representation in the new Middle East-inspired region. However from the get-go there has been controversy revolving around Forest Watcher Tighnari and his English voice actor Elliot Gindi. The Genshin Impact community is divided over how Tighnari is pronounced, with some calling the English localization “racist”. Gindi — along with Aether’s voice actor Zach Aguilar — have defended the pronunciation in-game though. “I’ve got to be honest here — Tighnari, or whatever people are insist you pronounce it as — is not a name you hear very often,” Gindi said on stream with Aguilar. “I’m Middle Eastern but my grandmother was ahead of the curve and was like ‘racism? Everyone gets European names.’ She did it back in the Middle East. “I would say it however the client wanted but even so I wouldn’t even make the mistake. I’ve never seen this name before in my life, I’ve never heard this. “Between the period of the trailer coming out and Collei says his name and you’ve got all these people going on ‘actually you have to say it like this’ and I’m like you really think all these white people are going to say that properly? You think that’s better? You know how badly they did the German names [Mondstadt]? Surely it’s on purpose.” The response angered some fans who said Gindi was “basically mocking people who want Tighnari’s name to be pronounced correctly”, and that the excuse of other names being mispronounced in the game doesn’t make it right. Aguilar defended Gindi: “In every game that I’ve worked on, it’s not always to a T. In the final production of it, sometimes things slip through the cracks. Some people roll r’s on a name and another doesn’t, specifically for Japanese pronunciations.” While the pronunciation of Tighnari’s name is one thing, some players are also concerned about Gindi’s conduct on social media. Old screenshots from Gindi using racial slurs emerged in the aftermath, which he apologized for on September 6: “I was pretty ignorant in 2017, I listened to the wrong voices. Does my ignorance make it okay? Absolutely not, and ahead of all this I have already reached out to and apologized to both people in that conversation privately.” It comes after the Genshin Impact community went after Dori’s voice actor, Anjali Kunapaneni, was harassed by fans after the character was deemed “too white” by some. She told IGN India following the barrage of hate “folks are allowed to have their opinions and criticisms about a character” but they shouldn’t “take those opinions out on the actors”.

  • Genshin Impact players divided over new 4.4 combat event – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players divided over new 4.4 combat event HoYoverseGenshin Impact players have been left divided on Triumphant Frenzy, with many both loving and hating the new 4.4 event. The Genshin Impact 4.4 update is well underway and players from around the world are busy delving into all the new content. While the new banner characters Xianyun/Gaming and the Lantern Rite have proven incredibly popular, there is one event that has players divided. Triumphant Frenzy is the game’s latest combat event that tasks players with building the best Genshin Impact team comps from a pool of characters. In fact, the round-based game mode doesn’t enable Travelers to use their own units. As you can imagine, this has proven to be a little controversial. Genshin Impact players divided over 4.4 Triumphant Frenzy event “I agree… it’s up there with the best,” said one Genshin Impact player. “You have to plan your team selection adding a layer of strategy and everything isn’t just trivialized by broken buffs or our overly strong characters.” However, not everyone was on board with the idea of a Triumphant Frenzy return. This mainly comes down to players not being able to use the characters they have spent months and years building. Many comments also noted how the event’s difficulty is artificial and clearing it isn’t indicative of overall skill. “It’s not that this event is inherently hard, but playing with characters that I don’t have and don’t know their playstyles with team comps that I don’t usually play with along with the uncertainty of character selection made it hated for me. The concept of the gamemode is fun though.” It’s clear the game mode has been incredibly divisive in the Genshin Impact community, but there is one positive that the community agrees on – trialing team comps. “I just love I can find new comps that I wasn’t aware of before,” noted one Traveller. “For example, dual carry Ayaka x Wrio is something that never crossed my mind. Like, Ayaka does her ult then swap to Wrio to punch them to death while perma-frozen.” Others noted how HoYoverse should expand upon Triumphant Frenzy’s roster and enable players to choose from every character in the game. Not only does this enable the community to experiment with ability synergies, but it can also help Travellers plan for future banners to roll on. Whether HoYoverse will ever bring back Triumphant Frenzy remains to be seen, but for now, it seems the event has been rather divisive.

  • Genshin Impact players demand skip button for “tedious” dialogue – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand skip button for “tedious” dialogue miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to add a skip button that will enable them to avoid the game’s lengthy dialogue. Like most open-world games, Genshin Impact is home to hundreds of interactable NPCs and quests. While a number of Teyvat’s characters have fully-voiced lines and dialogue options, there are times where players are forced to simply sit through lengthy discussions. This may not be a problem for the game’s main questline, but it can get rather tedious for those that simply wish to grind bosses and Domains. With Genshin Impact’s 2.4 update on the horizon, many players are hoping miHoYo will add a skip dialogue option. Genshin Impact fans call for dialogue skip button Genshin Impact players have wanted a skip function for the game’s dialogue since the game’s release, but miHoYo has yet to add this simple mechanic to the game. While the developers have added other QoL options that have helped improve gameplay, it seems that this feature has been overlooked. “I feel like I’ve been spam clicking more in dialogue with every update. There’s no excuse to not have this, it’s entirely optional,” explained one frustrated player. “Or just remove our dialogue choices so I can alt-tab with autoplay on. It’s not like we ever have anything remotely useful to say anyway.” Genshin Impact’s main protagonist often remains quiet during the majority of interactions, while the dialogue choices all lead to the exact same outcome. It’s this lack of personality that has led to players wanting to skip the long chats that take place between characters. Read More: Best Shenhe Genshin Impact build – “This or faster text advances,” responded another player. “I can read at a faster pace than Genshin’s text. Genshin needs you to wait just a little bit before showing the next line, and sometimes you need to wait several seconds for some stupid character movement to finish.” Whether miHoYo will add a skip dialogue option in a future Genshin Impact update remains to be seen, but for now, players will need to patiently sit through every conversation.

  • Genshin Impact players disappointed by Kokomi’s “underwhelming” abilities – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players disappointed by Kokomi’s “underwhelming” abilities miHoYoSangonomiya Kokomi has finally made her big debut in the Genshin Impact 2.1 update, but fans aren’t happy with her lack of synergy. Kokomi is the latest 5-star character to join Genshin Impact’s ever-growing roster, but just like Baal, players aren’t happy with Kokomi’s abilities. While the Hydro healer can save her allies from succumbing to a quick death, there are a number of problems that have been raised by the game’s playerbase. One of the main concerns comes down to how Kokomi synergizes with current team comps, particularly given that there are other supports who outclass her. While Kokomi’s place within the wider Genshin Impact meta won’t matter for those who like her design, the current issues surrounding the Pearl of Wisdom have put a lot of players off of using her. Genshin Impact fans disappointed by Kokomi abilities Support characters are invariably a great option for those looking to tackle tough enemies, but a number of Genshin Impact players believe that the game’s current content lacks the need for such a healer reliant role. “I think it’s fine to be a 5-star niche but at least be a niche that people would actually want or need,” said nullmarked. “A healer niche with current content is just pointless.” While Kokomi’s role as a healer isn’t a problem, many players have been disappointed to find that her abilities share a similar theme to Noelle’s – a free 4-star Geo character. “Looking at Kokomi’s kit, it’s pretty easy to see what her intended playstyle is,” says Felyndiira. “She pops her ult, becomes an immortal healer that heals all her damage, and deals some okay damage in return. This isn’t really a ‘meta’ concept but is not really a bad concept in theory. Except, we already have an immortal healer that pops her ult, heals, never takes damage, and deals good damage in return. Her name is Noelle.” However, unlike Noelle, Kokomi’s entire kit is tailored around healing. There’s also the fact that her ability to apply hydro to all enemies is closely matched by Mona – another Hydro 5-star that has been in the game since launch. To make matters worse, Kokomi’s Elemental Skill (Kurage’s Oath) lacks synergy with her signature weapon. Everlasting Moonglow grants energy recharge whenever Kokomi attacks, which is at odds with her healing-orientated kit. After all, Kokomi’s abilities enable players to apply her Elemental Skill, before switching out into their main DPS characters. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for her Burst, which forces players to attack with Kokomi in order to heal nearby allies. Read More: How to get Sango Pearls in Genshin Impact – Of course, this wouldn’t be a problem if her damage wasn’t on the low side. “If her kit was designed for hydro support, with maybe a more team support ult and a supportive weapon, her kit will be more cohesive,” said Felyndiira. “As-is, though, she’s worse than Noelle in the role MiHoyo designed her in, and her actual best roles are ones that invalidate parts of her kit/ signature weapon because she’s not designed for those roles. Instead, what players are left with is a support/damage dealer hybrid that feels a little at odds with itself. Whether MiHoYo will make any adjustments to Kokomi’s abilities remains to be seen, but for now, it appears fans aren’t happy with her current playstyle.

  • Genshin Impact players demand removal of “tedious” Rifthounds from Spiral Abyss – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand removal of “tedious” Rifthounds from Spiral Abyss miHoYoThe Genshin Impact 2.3 update added Rifthounds to the Spiral Abyss, but players are already calling for their removal. Genshin Impact’s Rifthounds are known for their speed and high damage output, which make them particularly tough opponents. However, with the arrival of the 2.3 update, miHoYo has added a number of these spectral canines to the Spiral Abyss. While these fearsome furballs may not be that troublesome to face in Inazuma’s overworld, they are proving incredibly frustrating for travelers taking on the game’s Spiral Abyss. Not only are they very tanky, the added time limit to beat them makes for some rather frustrating gameplay. Genshin Impact players call for Spiral Abyss changes Powercreep in Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss has been a popular topic within the community, particularly amongst players that enjoy delving into the game’s meta. It’s here where travelers can put their best Genshin Impact characters to the test by facing room after room of tough enemies. Read More: Ganyu banner rerun in Genshin Impact – With the arrival of Genshin Impact’s 2.3 update, miHoYo has added Rifthounds to Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss. This has led to a lot of frustrations within the community, with many calling for changes to the overall damage scaling of enemies within the dungeon. “I’m a low spender with highly invested in characters, and I sometimes struggle with the wolves,” said one commenter. “Not because I don’t have the DPS required to beat them, but because the whole experience can get so frustrating.” Unlike other enemies within the Spiral Abyss, Rifthounds can fly around the arena and apply corrosion to your team. Not only does this make them incredibly hard to hit with melee characters, but the corrosion ailment can also melt through even the tankiest of allied units. Read More: Genshin Impact update 2.5 leaks – If that wasn’t enough, the Rifthounds also have a lot of health, which makes beating them within the time limit a rather tricky task. “Rifthounds have a janky collision box, phase every time you do even the lightest of attack,” replied another frustrated player. “They can even phase through walls, ladies and gentlemen!” Fighting an enemy that can glitch out of the map hardly makes for a fair fight, especially when you’re close to beating them. Hopefully, miHoYo will be able to make some much-needed adjustments before the arrival of the 2.4 update.

  • Genshin Impact players demand larger artifact inventory cap – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand larger artifact inventory cap HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want a larger inventory cap for artifacts – but there may be a reason why it’s smaller than weapons. In Genshin Impact, users can equip 4-star and 5-star characters with different artifact sets. Players must complete the appropriate domain to obtain artifacts and use either Condensed or Original Resin. A 2-piece or 4-piece artifact set grants characters various buffs in combat. Players can equip characters with up to five artifacts at a time. However, Genshin Impact prevents users from having over 1500 artifacts in their inventory. Since vision holders only have one weapon, users have argued for more artifact storage. Genshin Impact users want more storage for artifacts Reddit user XLNC07 posed an inventory question on the Genshin Impact subreddit. They asked why the gacha title had a 1500-limit for artifacts but a 2000-limit for weapons. Fellow Genshin players agreed, but tried to figure out the answer. “Because you get weapons from pulls, so they need space to not interrupt big spenders mid-pulling for inventory management,” ‘Cthulhilly’ suggested. “It’s likely a matter of account data storage,” ‘The_Cheeseman83’ claimed. “Weapons have less data to track since each copy has the same stats. All they need to keep track of is each one’s level and refinements.” ‘Not-one-of-import’ crunched some quick numbers for those who whale for characters. The following equation would force users to empty their inventory, and miHoYo wouldn’t want to “interrupt your spending.” “Character Banner: 75 wishes = 8 character copies + 67 weapons Lose all the characters 50-50s = 14 rounds 14×67=938 Weapon banner: 75 wishes = 2-4 characters = 71 weapons Lose your 75-25s for R5? Thats 15×71=1065.” Despite miHoYo’s alleged business practice, Genshin Impact recently had one of the worst-selling banners. For the second half of Version 3.6, Baizhu’s debut and Ganyu’s re-run took the 41st spot on the 47-entry all-time revenue list. However, better days may be ahead depending on how the Version 3.7 banners perform.

  • Genshin Impact players demand changes to “frustrating” 4-star character banner unlocks – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand changes to “frustrating” 4-star character banner unlocks HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want HoYoverse to make major changes to the game’s “frustrating” 4-star banner unlocks. Phase 2 of the Genshin Impact 4.3 update is live, which means Travelers can finally spend their hard-earned Primogems on the latest banner. While Raiden Shogun rerun is headlining the game’s current banner, many players have turned their attention to Chevreuse. This 4-star Pyro character utilizes a Polearm when attacking enemies, and her abilities revolve around deadly AoE shots from her musket and explosive grenades. It’s this playstyle that has made her a popular pull. However, obtaining the latest 4-star has proven rather tricky and the Genshin Impact community is demanding HoYoverse make adjustments to 4-star character unlocks. Genshin Impact players want changes to 4-star character unlocks “140 wishes and 2 Chevreuses’. A good 9 Bennetts and a couple of Saras. The fact that there is no system for 4-star acquisition is insane to me, as this is far from the first time this has happened,” noted one frustrated Genshin Impact character. “I know everyone always says ‘don’t pull for 4-stars’ but they are supposed to be the lower rarity option. It should not be a commonly accepted fact that you could pull 300 times and never get a character you’re aiming for.” This has led many Genshin Impact players to demand HoYoverse add a separate 4-star banner or changes to the Epitomized Path, which enables Travelers to select the 4-star they wish to work towards unlocking. “Yep, just tossed 90 Wishes and didn’t get even one Chevreuse,” replied one commenter. “The worst one so far has been Kaveh with 0 copies after 110 pulls, though.” The Genshin Impact community was also keen to highlight how the 4-star problem will get gradually worse. “It’s only going to get worse with more 4-stars being added,” noted another Traveler. “Especially for older players who really don’t need or want to pull on banners for 5-star they already have.” This is extremely frustrating for players who want to unlock specific 4-stars for the team and get duplicates to max out their constellations. After all, many 4-stars require multiple unlocks to make their kit powerful. Whether HoYoverse will make adjustments to the way 4-star characters are unlocked in the future remains to be seen, but for now, you’ll need to simply hope you get lucky when pulling for Chevreuse.

  • Genshin Impact players demand event weapon changes in 2.4 update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players demand event weapon changes in 2.4 update miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to rerelease event-exclusive weapons, which would enable new travelers to gain access to some incredibly strong items. While Genshin Impact’s rerun banners take the spotlight when it comes to the game’s rereleases, a number of players want miHoYo to add a way for event weapons to be obtained again. Not only are event weapons fairly strong, they usually have unique designs that set them apart from common items. Currently, weapons like the Festering Desire and Luxurious Sea-Lord are no longer available in Genshin Impact. Like every event weapon, both this sword and claymore were locked behind limited-time quests. While the requirements to obtain event weapons are fairly simple, not every player will always have the chance to secure these exclusive weapons. Genshin Impact players call for changes to event weapons Unlike Genshin Impact’s character rerun banners, the game’s weapon banners have yet to include any event items. While this isn’t exactly a problem for veteran travelers who have played the game since launch, new players who want to get their hands on past event weapons have no way to do so. Read More: Genshin Impact Lantern Rite leaks – “I think it’s time to give other people a chance,” explained one player. “My idea is that [miHoYo] add all the event weapons to the free tier of the battle pass, with each weapon being added in the patch following the event it was obtainable in. It’s not ideal, since it’d take a long time to R5 weapons, but it’s still free and makes playing the event the best time to max it out.” As of writing, there are five event weapons that are no longer available to obtain in Genshin Impact. This will obviously come as a disappointment to new travelers looking to get some powerful weapons, but that hasn’t stopped the community from coming up with ideas for how they could return. “There are three possible choices,” commented another player. “Add them to limited gatcha weapons, make them rewards for fishing like the catch, or have them rerun for challenges on future relevant events.” It’s important to note that Genshin Impact’s 2.2 update added the ability for players to purchase past event gadgets, so it’s not all that unlikely that miHoYo will eventually give travelers the chance to claim event weapons once again. Hopefully, Genshin Impact’s upcoming 2.4 and 2.5 updates solve this issue.

  • Genshin Impact players are convinced Diona is secretly a Greek goddess – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players are convinced Diona is secretly a Greek goddess miHoYoThe characters of Genshin Impact all have special powers but some fans have noticed how one small Katzlein bartender — Diona — has a remarkably similar backstory to a specific Greek goddess, and they’re convinced it’s her secret origin story. When it comes to the land Teyvat and Genshin Impact there is no shortage of people with special abilities. Each character already has mastery of a specific type of weapon and a particular element to match, so it’s hard to stand out from the crowd. Being a messenger of the divine could certainly help to create some separation though, and some fans are convinced that is what sets Diona apart as potentially the voice of a Greek goddess. The connection is centered around Diona and the similarities she shares with Dionysus, the Goddess of Winemaking in the Greek pantheon. The biggest of the points is how Diona is a barkeeper at Cat’s Tail in Mondstadt, mirroring Dionysus’ relationship with alcohol. The connection does fall apart after that initial detail, as the young girl has her heart set on taking down the entire wine industry in Mondstadt despite the bar’s success. One user joked that this revelation would absolutely break Diona’s own heart: “She became the very thing she swore to destroy”. Another commenter pointed out that the cryo-archer could actually represent a mixture of multiple deities: “There is the Greek goddess Dione and the Roman Goddess Diana. Diana in particular is a bow-using, goddess of the hunt; as we know, Diona comes from a line of hunters.” While no blatant connection is specified in the game, these coincidences are more than enough for fans to dream about the possibility and wonder what-if.

  • Genshin Impact players can finally create more than four teams at once – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players can finally create more than four teams at once HoYoverseGenshin Impact players have long had to shuffle their team comps around four slots in-game. This was fine at launch, but now it’s becoming a chore. That’s all changing though as leaks indicate the amount of team slots is increasing once Sumeru launches. It’s a pain every Genshin Impact player knows. With so much content to clear nowadays, the four team slots the game offers you is pretty limiting. There are ways to get around it — just juggling around characters from party to party. However, once you account for artifact loadouts and weapons, constantly having to swap those, makes swapping teams tedious. HoYoverse is solving one part of the problem at least, according to leaks. Coming in Genshin Impact Version 3.0 with the release of Sumeru, developers are expanding the number of team slots from four to 10. The increase in slots comes as a relief to players who were struggling to shuffle in new characters to their existing teams. Now players can set aside more rosters to take on dedicated boss fights, or even for pushing friendship levels. It’s been labeled as one of the biggest quality of life changes players have been waiting for — among dedicated artifact loadouts for a character that can be saved and swapped as needed. The latter, sadly, isn’t coming just yet. The current change is all according to leaks from the Version 3.0 beta though. If HoYoverse is feeling particularly cruel, or if there’s a game-breaking glitch, it could be pulled from the patch before its August release. All things being equal though, Genshin Impact players will be able to freely slot in their new Sumeru characters once the region drops — and then some — with the expanded team slots.

  • Genshin Impact players can’t bear getting Neuvillette Ascension Materials for unexpected reason – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players can’t bear getting Neuvillette Ascension Materials for unexpected reason HoYoverseGenshin Impact Neuvillette Ascension Materials and Talent Materials have leaked early, but Travelers are already struggling to get one item for an unexpected reason. While Neuvillette has yet to be officially released, Genshin Impact fans are already farming his Ascension and Talent Materials. This is thanks to the Genshin Impact 4.1 leaks that have revealed all his mats ahead of his debut. While the list could certainly change before his banner release, the game’s community is already struggling to farm one vital item. However, unlike weekly boss materials that can be tricky to farm, one particular Neuvillette Ascencion Material is causing a stir, but not because it’s hard to get. Instead, the challenge stems from a completely different reason entirely, with many Travelers voicing their anguish on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page. Genshin Impact Neuvillette Ascension Material causes upset Like every Genshin Impact character, players need to kill a variety of monsters in the game’s overworld to level them up. While this isn’t usually a problem, the Fontaine update has added an incredibly cute animal – the Fontemer Aberrants. These water-loving animals are essentially seals that can be found lazily soaking up the sun on Fontaine’s beaches and playfully swimming in the ocean. Unfortunately for the Fontemer Aberrants, they drop Transoceanic Pearls, a key Neuvillette Ascension Material. To make matters even worse, Fontemer Aberrants are one of the few overworld creatures that don’t actively attack the player. For this reason alone, many Travelers have found farming these cute creatures incredibly difficult. “Why… Why did you have to look at me like that…? I just need the pearls… I’m not the bad guy,” noted one player as they heartlessly cut down the helpless creature while it looked upon them with pleading eyes. Another commenter even noted how, as the Chief of Justice, Neuvillette would be the one character who would be the most upset with the adorable seal slaughter. “It’s just ironic cause I think Neuvillette would be the most aggrieved to see all these gentle creatures dying unjustly all the time.” One Traveler also explained that it’s “ironic that the chief justice’s materials require some pretty unjust actions to acquire.” Meanwhile, other players have strictly decided to forgo pulling for Neuvillette entirely to avoid harming the Fontemer Aberrants. “I accidentally hurt one but didn’t kill it. I won’t pull for a character or weapon that requires their materials.” Fortunately, players have also found alternative ways to secure Transoceanic Pearls, with many revealing how you can get them from the other, less cute sea creatures that inhabit the Fontaine region. However, for a vast amount of Fontemer Aberrants, this news came just a little too late. So, if you’re aiming to spend your hard-earned Primogems on the Neuvillette banner, you may want to consider alternative Neuvillette Ascension Material farming methods if you wish to remain friendly with the local Fontemer Aberrants.

  • Genshin Impact players call for Paimon’s Bargains changes amidst 4-star banner woes – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players call for Paimon’s Bargains changes amidst 4-star banner woes HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want HoYoverse to adjust Paimon’s Bargains 4-star character rotation, to help alleviate “frustrating” unlock issues. While Genshin Impact banners enable players to spend their Primogems to get a chance to unlock 5-star characters like Raiden Shogun, they also feature plenty of unique 4-stars. While these common characters aren’t as rare or as powerful as their 5-star counterparts, they are integral to certain team comps. The likes of Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xiangling have remained staple picks amongst the game’s meta, but unlocking Constellation buffs for 4-stars can prove incredibly difficult. This is especially true for 4-stars that don’t have special rate-ups on current banners or those not featured on Paimon’s Bargains. Genshin Impact players demand changes to Paimon’s Bargains “I just ran out of Primos and have Sara now at C5 (I was looking to get Raiden C2, got C1), but that C6 is SO important to her. And even if I fork over some money right now, that won’t guarantee that I won’t just keep rolling Bennett copies,” wrote one player on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page. “Paimon’s Bargains feel like they should be the answer to that sort of problem, but for some reason, Hoyo refuses to update the roster of available 4-stars from that. It’s frankly bizarre that they don’t update it to include all 4-stars prior to 3.0 (at the very least).” So far, Paimon’s Bargains have featured 12 of the 38 playable 4-stars that have been released since Genshin Impact’s launch. This severely limits the 4-star characters that can be unlocked, making it extremely difficult for players to unlock Constellation buffs. Instead, Travelers have to try their luck at pulling the 4-star they want via the game’s banners – an area that many believe needs to change. The Genshin Impact community recently called upon the devs to add 4-star banners to help alleviate this issue. Meanwhile, veteran players have also noted how newer Travelers are the ones who get hit the hardest by the lack of 4-star character rotations. “I feel bad for new players, imagine starting up doing two ten pulls and getting Candace and Kaveh lmao, you’re screwed.” The community has even come up with ways to how HoYoverse could improve upon Paimon’s Bargains, explaining how they’d implement changes to make it more useful. “The best case scenario for Paimon’s Bargains would be the following: Add 2 more slots for characters to be available each month, remove Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa from the rotation, and make them always available each month, add the current banner’s featured 4 stars into the shop for the duration of the banner,” noted one player. The above scenario would certainly help improve the game’s “frustrating” 4-star issue, but whether HoYoverse will make any changes to Paimon’s Bargains remains to be seen.

  • Genshin Impact players call for more fully voiced characters after 2.2 update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players call for more fully voiced characters after 2.2 update miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to add more fully voiced characters to the game’s World Quests following the Version 2.2 update. Genshin Impact’s 2.2 update is in full swing and players from around the world are busy exploring Tsurumi Island – Inazuma’s final major expansion. Not only is this mysterious island shrouded in dense fog, but it is also home to a number of ferocious enemies and new characters. While the community’s response surrounding the Through the Mists World Quest has been incredibly positive, a number of fans were left disappointed by the lack of voice acting. In fact, outside of the main story quest, the vast majority of the game’s dialogue still remains unspoken. Genshin Impact fans want more fully voiced characters Genshin Impact encompasses hundreds of quests, NPCs, and locations. To make matters even better, every new update expands upon all three of these categories. This sheer amount of content does mean voicing every character in the game is incredibly difficult, especially given the huge scale of Genshin Impact’s ever-growing world. However, many fans want fully-voiced characters to appear in the more ambitious World Quests and updates. “I would say, so far, with respect to our time in Inazuma, [Through the Mists] is one of the best stories we’ve experienced,” said boomtown650. “It’s got everything, lore, tragedy, hope, emotion, mystery, sh*t even character development. That is everything, except fully voiced characters. People already floated the idea of fully voiced World Quests after the Shrine Maiden quest on Narukami island and that was a good quest… going forward, I do seriously hope miHoYo begins voicing the longer multi-staged World Quests.” Having fully voiced characters in more ambitious World Quests would certainly make these encounters more special. Not only would it help bring each character to life, but it would also provide a more memorable experience. Of course, even voicing characters in these updates comes with its own caveats. “The biggest factor is really lead time, which relates to the patch cadence,” explained countrpt. “Voice work has to be planned months in advance so it has enough time for implementation in all applicable languages, and this provides them with less ability to keep on improving the text and related presentation during implementation.” No matter how you look at it, the addition of fully voiced NPCs would be a huge undertaking for miHoYo. However, fans are still hopeful that the game’s main protagonists Aether and Lumine will one day be heard. “This is the worst crime in terms of voice acting, making the mc silent/mute. I still don’t understand that decision,” Grimstarzz noted. “I can’t take a lot of scenes seriously, cause a fairy with a squeaky voice is acting like the mc, while the mc is standing there like a houseplant. This story could have been a lot more engaging if the mc actually had a personality and a voice.” Whether miHoYo will add more fully voiced characters to Genshin Impact in the 2.3 and 2.4 updates remain to be seen, but players remain hopeful that one day they’ll hear more from the game’s NPCs and protagonists.

  • Genshin Impact players call for birthday banners to alleviate 5-star unlock woes – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players call for birthday banners to alleviate 5-star unlock woes HoYoverseGenshin Impact players want HoYoverse to add birthday banners to the game to help increase the odds of securing standard 5-star units. Just like most gacha games, securing 5-star characters in Genshin Impact largely involves a lot of luck. This is especially true if you’re rolling on the game’s Wanderlust Invocation (Standard banner). Unlike the limited-time 5-star banners which give specific characters like Xianyun rate-up boosts, the Standard banner features seven 5-stars that can be unlocked. While this may seem like a bonus, it can be a real pain for players looking for a specific standard 5-star. Well, the Genshin Impact community has come up with an idea that could help alleviate this issue – birthday banners. Genshin Impact players want birthday banners “After 800 days of daily play with Welkin Moon, I still don’t have Mona, the one character I joined the game for. The standard character system is broken,” wrote one player on the Genshin Impact Reddit page. This comment was quickly met with similar stories of players not receiving the character they want despite investing huge amounts of time, and even money into the game. However, the game’s community is hoping HoYoverse will add birthday banners to the game, which would be released when a 5-star unit celebrates their special day. “I have friends who are still missing Mona as well after years of play,” replied another player. “Hopefully, the rumors of one-day birthday banners turn out to be true so people can wish for these units.” Other Travelers were on board with this idea. “If it does happen, it would be about including characters who are featured in events but aren’t on the banner list,” explained one player. “Birthdays sound like another way to include them. Hopefully, they devise something because things are going to get bad on re-run timing otherwise.” The community was also keen to highlight how implementing birthday banners wouldn’t shake up the current rotation of releases and reruns. “If it’s one day a year that doesn’t take away from the regularly scheduled banners and reruns would actually be a LOT,” replied another Traveler. “Time to save and also grab banners here or there but 100% KNOWING it’ll come up.”

  • Genshin Impact players call for Dehya buffs over “atrocious” damage numbers – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players call for Dehya buffs over “atrocious” damage numbers HoYoverseAfter months of waiting, the Genshin Impact Dehya banner is finally here, but Travelers aren’t happy with her damage and lackluster kit. Dehya was originally revealed in the Genshin Impact 3.0 update and since then, players have been eagerly awaiting her release. Unfortunately, her 3.5 debut has been far from smooth, with many players and streamers voicing their disappointment over the latest Pyro character. In fact, those who have spent Primogems rolling on the Dehya banner have been keen to highlight just how lackluster her DPS is. Whether this will impact her overall popularity or place within the game’s meta remain to be seen, but many players will be hoping the fiery mercenary gets some much needed-buffs. Genshin Impact fans call for Dehya buffs Now that the Genshin Impact 3.5 is well underway, a number of Travelers have been busy getting to grips with Dehya. The new 5-star character commands the Pyro element, which she uses to melt through her enemies with Claymore hits and punches. Unfortunately, it seems that Dehya’s abilities are rather lacking in both their damage and delivery. Renowned Genshin Impact Twitch streamer, Zy0xxx, noted just how little damage the new 5-star does when compared to other recent releases. “My favorite part of Dehya is going through an entire rotation and not being able to defeat one Ruin Guard,” said the streamer. This sentiment has also been backed up by other players who are also struggling to get her to deal any decent DPS. In fact, many Travelers have been keen to highlight how HoYoverse even had to buff her during her Character Trial. “The extent to which they went to make her look good is ridiculous. A buffer, a healer, and a sub-DPS. Hu Tao, Klee, and hell even Yanfei are showcased all by themselves.” A video showcasing a C0 Dehya with maxed Talents fighting a Cryo Regisvine has also received a lot of attention from the Genshin Impact community. It’s here where we the player highlight just how minimal her damage is, which has led to many players wondering where she fits within the current meta. “I’m reasonably confident non-DPS characters could one phase this like Kokomi,” said one commenter. “I knew about the Dehya doom posting and didn’t pay attention since really good characters were incorrectly doom posted, but holy sh*t this is atrocious. Dehya owners you have a moral obligation to complain in surveys.” Whether HoYoverse will buff Dehya in a future update remains to be seen, but for now, it seems the Flame-Mane is far from what fans had expected.

  • Genshin Impact players call for better rewards & Primogems for harder challenges – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players call for better rewards & Primogems for harder challenges miHoYoGenshin Impact players want miHoYo to increase the rewards for beating the game’s harder content to make for a more satisfying experience. Genshin Impact’s new Labyrinth Warriors event has proven to be a huge success, with many players praising the game’s dungeon-style exploration. Unlike other Domains, the Labyrinth Warrior trials see travelers venture through rooms filled with enemies that gradually increase in difficulty. Travelers are also accompanied by a non-playable partner called Shiki Taishou. This small warrior provides your team with various buffs (Charm Magic) that will help you clear out each room. Aside from the Spiral Abyss, the new event has given Genshin Impact fans even more challenging content that can often prove incredibly difficult to complete. While this added challenge is a welcome addition to the game’s main story content, Genshin Impact YouTuber Mtashed believes that miHoYo needs to increase the rewards for those who complete the game’s harder challenges. Genshin Impact difficulty vs reward “[miHoYo] create these really hard things and you can get a pat on the back for sure, but they don’t really reward you for being able to complete them,” explained Mtashed. The YouTuber noted how the 1.6 Legend of the Vagabond Sword event gave players the opportunity to take down bosses on the hardest difficulty, but there was actually no incentive for doing so. In fact, players could claim the bulk of the rewards for just playing on the easiest difficulty. While this is great for accessibility, those wanting to take on harder content often have very little reason to do so in the first place. “If there was even just a tiny, tiny reward it might make sense to do it,” said the YouTuber. “But once again with the new event, they made the enemies hit very, very hard… but they don’t even give you any books like all the previous floors. There’s no Primogems, no extra currency, and nothing to get out of the shop. There’s no reason to do it other than the challenge.” While the premise of fighting tougher foes might be enough for some players, Mtashed believes that miHoYo is missing out on a major feedback loop. “They have free Primogems for [completing] a minigame [but when] it’s a crazy hard enemy, there’s no reward, there’s nothing.” The Genshin Impact content creator notes how Artifact grinding would also feel valid as it would enable players to complete challenging content and earn exciting rewards for their efforts. While the Labyrinth Warrior trials has proven miHoYo can make meaningful end-game content, it’s hoped that the developers will increase the prizes for taking down tougher foes in the future.

  • Genshin Impact players blown away as “awesome” Pyro Archon is even better than the leaks – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players blown away as “awesome” Pyro Archon is even better than the leaks HoYoverseHoYoverese has given players a sneak peek at the Pyro Archon, Mavuika, and the community is already in love with her fiery design. Genshin Impact’s Natlan update is looking to be its biggest and most ambitious yet, with new locations and characters to unlock. The latest Ignition Teaser: A Name Forged in Flames has now given players a look at the long-awaited Natlan characters, but it’s the long-awaited arrival of the Pyro Archon that has players hyped. This is largely down to Mavuika’s striking design, which makes her stand out when compared to the likes of Kachina and Kinich. In fact, the Genshin Impact community has collectively come together to heap praise on her “awesome” aesthetic. “Absolutely gorgeous. Love her earrings, eyes, and hair. Creates great contrast with her suit, too! Oh, and some small accessories here and there are neat as well. Charismatic, confident, and simply majestic. Looking forward to Natlan,” wrote one player on the Genshin Impact Reddit page. The community was pleasantly surprised by Mavuika’s final design, especially after Genshin Impact leaks pointed towards an entirely different look. “Not a design I was expecting, but it’s a pleasant surprise she’s got so much style. Just exudes so much flair and charisma,” Regarding whether the character is related to Himeko from Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Star Rail, players have been keen to highlight one glaring issue. This is due to her having a different voice actor from both games. “In pretty much all other cases of these characters, they’ve gotten the original voice actor for their reprise, and if Genshin wants a voice actor they pretty much have the means to get anyone they want.” While the Pyro Archon may have a similar design to Murata Himeko, it’s for this reason that some players are a little apprehensive: “She looks great but it feels so out of place compared to the other new characters shown,” wrote one player. “Almost too modern. Like what’s a biker doing in a temple.” HoYoverse has yet to reveal any details about Mavuika, her role within Natlan, and if she has any connection to Himeko, but either way, this fiery character has made quite an impact on the Genshin community.

  • Genshin Impact players believe HoYoverse has “forgotten” this character – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players believe HoYoverse has “forgotten” this character HoYoverseGenshin Impact players have highlighted a 4-star character that they believe HoYoverse has “forgotten” completely. Genshin Impact is absolutely brimming with characters and each major patch brings someone new and exciting to pull for. Not only do new regions bring exciting opportunities for players to delve into fresh content, but they also expand upon the game’s wider story. It’s during these times when HoYoverse sheds light on major characters, particularly new 5-star units who are integral to the plot. However, the Genshin Impact community believes the devs have completely “forgotten” a 4-star character. Genshin Impact players believe devs have “forgotten” Kujou Sara “I’d love to see more of Kujou Sara. Albeit, I’m into the politics of Inazuma in general, including those of the Tri-commission including Kujou Kamaji, Shikanoin Heizou,” explained one player. “Hopefully there’ll be a character related to the Kanjou Commission at some point, or something bears fruit from the Fontaine-Inazuma Cultural Exchange to bring something more for Inazuma.” Aside from not appearing in many story quests and widener events, many players believe Sara is also underrepresented when it comes to building team comps. “Sara suffers from having a single team and it requires her to be C6 for it to work,” replied one Traveler. “It is Ei who has other viable options that don’t require C6ing a particular 4-star. She shows up more than Candace who has no good teams but it is not exactly a good spot to be in.” Many Genshin players also pointed out that HoYoverse often only gives new characters a lot of screen time. It’s because of this, that characters like Sara are left in the dark. “Genshin…doesn’t seem to be keen on making sure every character gets some screen time,” commented one player. “They rather take the new character and shove them into the newest quests (to sell them of course), but they could have just as easily added Sara to Lantern Rite as a visitor.” The player notes how Honkai Star Rail has done a great job of keeping its entire cast of characters relevant, even if it’s just through the in-game texting feature. Units also appear in the overworld, which further adds to the visual representation aspect of the game – an area that many Genshin fans have wanted since its release. Whether Kujou Sara will appear in more events and quests in the future remains to be seen, but for now, the tengu remains in the shadows.

  • Genshin Impact players believe Mondstadt still holds a “major” secret – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players believe Mondstadt still holds a “major” secret HoYoverseWhile many Genshin Impact players have long left the Mondstadt region for Fontaine, that hasn’t stopped the game’s community from pondering what content could be hidden within its castle walls. The world of Teyvat is filled with mysteries and the Genshin Impact community has always enjoyed piecing them together. However, as the Traveler continues their adventure in the Fontaine region and prepares for Natlan, many players have begun to turn their attention to Mondstadt – the game’s starting region. Mondstadt is the home of the Anemo Archon and Knights of Favonius, both of which have been influential in the game’s story. However, the Genshin community believes there’s still a “major” secret that has been left untold. Genshin Impact players believe Mondstadt still holds a big secret In fact, many players believe Mondstadt will receive more attention in future updates. “I have a feeling that the story will loop back around to Mondstadt and we’ll get a big expansion on the region,” said one player. “It’d be very impactful if our comfy tutorial region gets threatened in act 7 or 8.” Other commenters also believe Mondstadt still has many unanswered mysteries, particularly when it comes to Venti and Kaeya. “Venti is sus af, his statue in Mondstat raises some eyebrows, specifically the writing on it,” replied one commenter. “We still haven’t met a good chunk of the Favonius Knights. Albedo has ties to Gold, a Khaenrian, Kaeya, and his dubious lineage is in Mondstat… I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to revisit Mondstat when we get closer to the Khaenrian storylines.” However, arguably the most interesting discovery is the translation of the Teyvat language written on Venti’s statue. “The writing at the base of the Venti statue translates to The Gateway to Celestia,” noted one player. “Celestia being the mysterious floating island high up in the sky positioned somewhere near Fontaine.” Others have also noted that Mondstadt is treated as a prologue chapter and does not receive a “proper numbered chapter.” Whether Mondstadt will be “The Gateway to Celestia” or holds further secrets remains to be seen, but for now, the Genshin community remains hopeful that the Travelers will return for some big reveals.

  • Genshin Impact players baffled by “ridiculous” censorship in Fontaine update – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players baffled by “ridiculous” censorship in Fontaine update HoYoverseGenshin Impact players have voiced their frustrations over the new Fontaine update, which has added another layer of censorship to the game. The Genshin Impact 4.0 update is finally here and Travelers are currently busy delving into the new Fontaine region. This update has brought with it plenty of shiny new content for players to sink their teeth into, with both Lyney and Lynette now being available on the current banner. However, a new case of censorship has left the game’s community baffled, with many highlighting how “ridiculous” it looks. This isn’t the first time HoYoverse has come under fire for its censorship. In fact, the developers famously came under fire for their implementation of alternate character outfits, which made changes to the likes of Mona, Jean, Rosaria, and Amber’s designs. Despite Genshin Impact players outside of China being able to freely switch between these skins, many global players believed it had set a worrying trend for the free-to-play title. Well, this certainly seems to be the case with the release of the 4.0 update. One of the most interesting aspects of the latest update is the introduction of underwater exploration. While this exciting addition enables Travelers to explore the very depths below Fontaine, it has also now received criticism from the game’s community. This is due to the large censor bubble that appears on all characters’ waists whenever they swim. “I get that Hoyo got in trouble for being a little too risqué, but there must have been a better solution than this,” said one commenter. “I can understand the diaper being on the characters wearing skirts, but it’s completely unnecessary and immersion-breakingly awful looking on anyone wearing shorts or pants.” Players have even highlighted how the censor bubble in its current form is actually somewhat counterproductive. “If they wanted to stop people from looking at a character’s crotch, then this censorship is a massive fail since it does the exact opposite of what its intent is. It draws players’ attention to that area much more now.” Whether HoYoverse will make any adjustments to the way it handles this censorship remains to be seen, but for now, it looks as though the bubble is here to stay.

  • Genshin Impact players are trying to delete “insulting” Aloy from their game – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players are trying to delete “insulting” Aloy from their game PlayStation / miHoYoDays after being given away for free, Genshin Impact PC players are trying to delete 5-star character Aloy from their accounts. Fans of the miHoYo gacha title are protesting the Horizon Zero Dawn heroine’s addition to the game. For Genshin Impact’s 2.1 update, developer miHoYo collaborated with Sony to add Aloy as a playable character. While PS5 users got the Horizon Zero Dawn protagonist in September, PC and mobile players received her a month later in October’s 2.2 patch. Despite her being the title’s first major 5-star character to be given out for free, many fans of the RPG are not happy with her being added to the world of Teyvat. Some gamers dislike the PlayStation mascot so much that they are going to great lengths to delete her. Genshin Impact players are deleting Aloy Although many players were happy to be given a free 5-star character, the announcement of Aloy was also met with mixed reactions from some fans critical of her inclusion in Genshin Impact’s lore. On social media and forums, a flurry of angry users expressed their wish to delete the heroine. Read More: Best Aloy Genshin Impact build – One YouTube video went viral after showing the great lengths some are going to remove the PlayStation character from their account. The clip demonstrates one user trying to delete the mail message without claiming Aloy, only to discover miHoYo disabled the delete button for unclaimed gifts. As a workaround, the player then explained they will use the developer’s own mail system against them as old messages are deleted after a set amount of time. “Perhaps the only way to completely remove her from your account is to wait 365 days so she gets automatically deleted,” they said. While the video appeared to be satire, angry players praised the video for its genius idea and took to the comments to express their own wish to to get rid of the free character. “Really wish that I can just turn her into primogems,” one comment wrote. Another exclaimed, “I wish I thought to not claim her…I’ll just keep her at level 1 out of spite.” Others expressed their want to delete her as well: “I won’t lie, I was tempted to delete it cause I didn’t want her” and “I also wanted to delete Aloy,” two players said. The YouTube upload also had fans of the miHoYo venting their frustrations. “If I can exchange her with 50 intertwined fate, that would be great,” a commentator posted in reaction. One user even called the addition an insult to other characters: “Aloy being 5 was a big insult to all 5 star characters. She should be first 3 star character.” The viral video had many vowing to do the same strategy in the hopes of removing Aloy from their account. Yes, you read that right – some are willing to wait an entire year to get rid of her. Of course, it goes without saying that the trick has a high chance of not working since miHoYo has already taken steps to prevent deletion. Still, some users dislike the PlayStation character’s addition into the Genshin universe so much, they are willing to try.

  • Genshin Impact players are obsessed with new character Yelan for most bizarre reason – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players are obsessed with new character Yelan for most bizarre reason HoYoverseGenshin Impact fans love the newly-announced character Yelan. Hours after HoYoverse revealed her, players became obsessed with the hero’s design for the strangest reasons. With the 2.6 update days from release, Genshin Impact fans were surprised when HoYoverse also revealed Version 2.7’s new character Yelan. Her design began trending worldwide on Twitter after she was announced due to players bizarrely becoming obsessed with her armpits. Genshin Impact’s new character Yelan trends for bizarre reason The new hero was announced on the official Genshin Impact social media account in a March 28 tweet. The Twitter post included a brief description and profile picture of the Version 2.7 character. It was Yelan’s design, however, that immediately caught the attention of fans of the Gacha RPG. While many praised HoYoverse for her fierce design, other users strangely fixated on the character’s armpits – yes, you read that right. The weird obsession quickly went viral on Twitter and even sparked the trending hashtag #ArmpitImpact with thousands of people posting about it. I’d like to suggest that you treat her as an ordinary person, but if you do, it’s easy to lose control over negotiations. — Yanfei ◆ Yelan ◆ Valley Orchid ◆ A mysterious person who claims to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs ◆ Hydro ◆ Umbrabilis Orchis#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/DZ1j3PyshW— Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) March 28, 2022 The popular website was filled with tweets about the new Genshin Impact hero’s armpits. “Armpit Impact LETS GOOOOO. Not pulling for Kamisato Ayato CONFIRMED!” one user wrote. Another tweeted “Her armpit is brighter than my future.” One fan even exclaimed, “Glory to armpits.” The strange pit obsession overshadowed the announcement for some players, who reacted to the community’s bizarre Yelan reaction. “I can’t believe ya’ll simping over a drawing of a character that even out yet,” a Twitter user posted. Others weren’t too thrilled with the character’s design. “She seriously does not look like she belongs in a game like Genshin Impact,” one post read. Yelan’s armpits also sparked a wave of memes, with users creating fake deodorant ads with her picture. This isn’t the first time the Genshin Impact community has obsessed over a character’s look either, such as players fixating on Diluc’s “emotionless” gaze. Strange trends aside, the new hero will debut in Version 2.7. Her banner should go live around May 11, 2022 which will give fans plenty of time to save up those Primogems.

  • Genshin Impact players are still saving Primogems for this unreleased character – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact players are still saving Primogems for this unreleased character HoYoverseGenshin Impact players have revealed that they’re still saving for an unreleased character that was revealed back in 1.3. Genshin Impact is constantly adding colorful characters to its free to play game, with Xianyun and Gaming being among the latest. In fact, every big update brings with it new 5-star and 4-star characters, which aim to shake up the meta and offer unique playstyles. However, with so many different characters being both officially revealed by HoYoverse and leaked ahead of their release, many players are known to save their Primogems. After all, rolling on every Genshin Impact banner can get rather costly. Well, a number of Genshin Impact players have revealed that they’ve been saving for an unreleased character since 1.3. Genshin Impact community still saving for Dainsleif “[Dainsleif was] confirmed to be playable like 3 years ago, but we probably will get him after Snezhnaya,” explained one Traveler. “I can’t imagine when his release is, what [his] banner will look like, but I only have one wish – hoping we will get more than Spiral Abyss floor 12, or why would he be important after waiting years?” Dainsleif previously graced our screens back in Chapter I: We Will Be Reunited. The mysterious character also made another appearance in the world quest Bough Keeper: Dainsleif, but despite making several brief appearances, there is still very little information about this unreleased character. Despite, this, it hasn’t stopped the Genshin Impact community from setting aside Primogems for his eventual release. “I’ve got 130 wishes reserved only for him since previous Lanterns,” revealed one player. “I doubt he will release any time soon so no need to hurry. Once there are any leaks or indications of Dain’s banner, I will probably stop pulling all together since I want some cons and signature.” While we still don’t have any details on when Dainslefi will be released in Genshin Impact, one thing is for sure, the community is hungry for his eventual banner reveal.

  • Genshin Impact player stunned by “unlucky” Yun Jin banner encounter – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player stunned by “unlucky” Yun Jin banner encounter HoYoverseA Genshin Impact player has been left stunned after an unlucky encounter with Yun Jin led to a hilarious banner pull. The Genshin Impact Lantern Rite Festival is well underway and players are currently busy delving into the game’s latest events. While Xianyun and the free Primogem rewards are the highlights of this update, Travelers can also get their hands on a free 4-star. Not only is this a great way to grab some extra Constellations for units you already have, but it’s also a good time for Travelers to unlock any units that have evaded them. However, one player found that sometimes certain characters can surprise you at the most unexpected of times. Genshin Impact player left stunned by troll Yun Jin banner pull Posting on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page, u/_IOME shared a clip of them using the 4-star character selector. They decided to choose Yun Jin as they didn’t have many Geo characters in their team, so this decision made the most sense. After picking Yun Jin, the player then proceeded to raise the Polarm character to level 40, which in turn rewarded them with a free Acquaint Fate. This single Aquaint Fate was then used to roll on Genshin Impact’s standard banner, which gives Travelrs the chance to add four and five-star characters to their team. Well, unfortunately for u/_IOME, Yun Jin decided to grace their screen once again – with the character being unlocked for a second time, just after they’d used the free 4-star selector to pick her. As if stunned by this turn of events, the player simply watched in disbelief as Yun Jin’s portrait emblazoned the screen. “That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen today. Thank you,” joked one player. Another Traveler also recounted how Yun Jin also trolled them with unlucky banner pulls. “I can confirm Yun Jin is the trolliest 4-star for many of us just like OP. I pulled for Yun Jin on the Yoimiya banner, I got Yoi >

  • Genshin Impact player shares genius idea to make Artifact grinding easier – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player shares genius idea to make Artifact grinding easier HoYoverseA Genshin Impact player went viral after sharing their incredible idea to overhaul Artifact grinding. Fans love it so much that they want HoYoverse to implement it. As any hardcore Genshin Impact player can attest to, there is nothing worse than grinding a dungeon for hours only to get the perfect Artifact set that is ruined by its stats. A fan of the gacha title went viral online after sharing their genius idea to revamp the RPG mechanic. The clever concept would make searching for Artifacts much easier. Viral concept fixes Genshin Impact’s Artifact system In Genshin Impact, players can acquire Artifact sets to boost their character’s stats. The coveted items are given out in Domains. The only problem is, you may only need one out of the five types. This can result in countless hours of grinding and not even receiving the specific Artifact you need. A player addressed this problem in a concept that they posted to the r/GenshinImpact forum in a thread titled “Reducing the pain of artifact farming.” The social media post quickly viral after cleverly solving the frustrating mechanic. In the concept, players would be able to select which specific Artifact slot they are looking for before entering a Domain. Domains would also now split their double Artifact sets up to be featured on different days – that way you aren’t getting a set at random you don’t actually want. The concept immediately struck a chord with the Genshin Impact community who praised the idea. “I’d love this. MiHoyo would never do it,” a fan wrote. Another commented, “I hope this gets implemented someday because right now getting good artifacts for your character is more difficult than getting the characters themselves.” One user exclaimed, “I don’t get why MiHoYo doesn’t make the artifact farming system better, it’s not like they’re going to have a massive downfall in sales if they made it better.” While many players seemed to love the concept, many pointed out that it was very unlikely that HoYoverse would ever make such a change given it’s a major element of keeping users playing the game daily. Likelihood aside, the viral social media post had sparked a discussion about whether the current Artifact system was too punishing and unrewarding.

  • Genshin Impact player hits max damage cap with “insane” Xianyun team comp – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player hits max damage cap with “insane” Xianyun team comp HoYoverseA Genshin Impact player has hit the max damage cap in the game with their deadly Xianyun team comp, obliterating enemies and wowing the community. Genshin Impact players have always enjoyed melting waves of deadly enemies and bosses with their favorite characters. In fact, the community is often known to spend hundreds of hours farming Domains for the perfect Artifacts and Ascension Materials. After all, there’s nothing more cathartic than destroying tough enemies that used to give you trouble. However, one Genshin Impact player has wowed the game’s community with their incredible Xianyun team comp, which has hit the max damage cap. Genshin Impact player hits max damage cap with Xianyun team comp Posting on the official Genshin Impact page, one player shared a screenshot of the moment they managed to unleash 9999999 damage. This was met with stunned comments from the game’s community. “Holy cow…I guess they need to raise it now,” commented one player. While others stressed that this kind of damage isn’t common, even for those who spend money on obtaining Constellation buffs. “Even for whales, this kind of damage isn’t easy.” In order to achieve this incredible feat, the player utilized a C6 Yelan, C6 Furina, C2 Xianyun, and a C2 Klee. Streaming Essential Oil was also used to buff party members’ Hydro damage, while “One Upon a Time in Mondstadt” provided a CRT Rate and CRT DMG buff. Once the food buffs had been applied, the player then went through their rotation, using Xianyun to unleash Swirl, Yelan to apply Wet, and Klee for her Vaporize. This then enabled Furina to successfully leap into the air and deliver the max damage combo. It’s certainly no easy feat to achieve and requires a lot of farming and luck with getting multiple copies of characters for Constellation buffs. Either way, it’s great to see how players a taking the damage cap to the very limits.

  • Genshin Impact player reveals why they “regret buying” Ganyu skin – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player reveals why they “regret buying” Ganyu skin HoYoverseThe Ganyu skin has proven popular amongst the Genshin Impact community, with many praising its design. However, one Traveler has revealed one problem that has made them regret buying Ganyu’s alternate costume. Ganyu is one of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact. Not only is she known for her high-damage AoE Bow shots, but her design has made her a popular character amongst artists and cosplayers alike. So, when HoYoveerse released a Ganyu skin in the 4.4 update, many fans were incredibly excited. However, one player has revealed a major problem that has made them regret purchasing the game’s new cosmetic. Genshin Impact player reveals biggest regret with Ganyu skin “I had Ganyu for a long time (ever since her 1st rerun), but I didn’t really enjoy using her much. I can’t believe how much a simple outfit change boosted my enjoyment of playing her,” explained one player. “But here’s the problem: Since I always want her to be visible, I also use her for exploration, and now even in my sleep I could still hear ‘Next on the agenda!’ I didn’t notice before how much she used that voice line. Who thought it was a good idea to use that as her dashing voice line, considering how much we dash when exploring?” Other Ganyu mains have also noticed an increase in her dash voice lines, with many noting how they now want HoYoverse to add options to lower the frequency of them. “Time between idle lines–would be nice to have a slider or an off toggle.” Meanwhile, others found that changing languages helped alleviate the issue somewhat. “I changed the in-game language from English to Japanese because I didn’t want to hear that anymore.” However, it seems Ganyu isn’t the only one who has been a little more vocal when it comes to her dashing voice lines. Other players have noted how the frequency of voice lines appears to happen at a specific place. “Have you been using her to explore Chenyu Vale? There’s a weird bug going on there where every single time you jump or sprint the character will say a voice line instead of just saying one once in a while,” explained one player. If this is the case, hopefully, HoYoverse can fix this bug sooner rather than later.

  • Genshin Impact player gives Hu Tao a Honkai Impact inspired scythe and fans want more – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player gives Hu Tao a Honkai Impact inspired scythe and fans want more miHoYo/@yoimyiaA talented Genshin Impact player has added a Honkai Impact-style scythe to the game, giving players a sneak peek at how this lightning-fast weapon would function in the world of Teyvat. Genshin Impact is currently home to five different weapon types, which all have their own unique passives that enable the wielder to unleash some truly devastating attacks. From the agile slices of the sword to the crushing blows of the claymore, there is a weapon for every kind of playstyle. However, players now want miHoYo to add even more weapons to the game after a video of Hu Tao wielding a scythe surfaced online. This deadly one-handed weapon is incredibly fast in its attacks and has huge amounts of range, which would enable players to safely barrage their foes from a distance. Genshin Impact player adds scythe to the game While Hu Tao is canonically classed as a 5-star polearm character, Genshin Impact player @yoimyia has given the ghost-loving girl a slight twist. Instead of wielding the Staff of Homa, Hu Tao can now be seen wielding a Honkai-themed scythe. The scythe is a common weapon type in miHoYo’s other free-to-play game, Honkai Impact 3rd. Not only is it renowned for its great speed, but its overall reach enables players to quickly cut through waves of monsters. This makes it perfectly suited for Hu Tao, a character who is known for her speedy attacks and Pyro-infused abilities. As the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao is no stranger to death, so what better way to send shivers down her enemies’ backs than a life-taking scythe. Read More: Genshin Impact fans look to new competitor – The added flames from her Elemental Skill also make the scythe look incredibly menacing, especially since it glows with orange and red energy. Whether miHoYo will add more weapon types to Genshin Impact in the future remains to be seen, but for now, @yoimyia has shed the light on what could be possible in upcoming releases.

  • Genshin Impact player claims miHoYo uses “predatory” game mechanics – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player claims miHoYo uses “predatory” game mechanics miHoYoA Genshin Impact player has highlighted the various ways of plowing money into the game, warning other players about what they claim are “predatory” tactics to encourage spending. Genshin Impact may be marketed as a free-to-play game, but things can get pretty expensive if you want to get every 5-star character and weapon in the game. While various events and quests reward players with Primogems, there are often times where this currency can be incredibly hard to obtain, particularly if you have completed all the current content. The limited-time nature of each new 5-star banner can also make it difficult for free-to-play accounts to secure the unit they’re after. Even if players do manage to secure a bounty of Intertwined and Acquainted Fates, there’s no guarantee that you’ll unlock the character you want. This can lead to some rather pricey transactions if you’re not careful. Genshin Impact fan alleges “predatory” game mechanics In their chart titled “Whale Hunting”, Reddit user soaringneutrality outlined mechanics that they claim are designed to get the player to spend more money. The first and most prominent method is that of icebreakers, that offer “good deals” to the player. These are often the cheapest forms of microtransactions, which may make the player more likely to spend after their first purchase. For example, the Gnostic Hymn (Battle Pass) can be purchased for $10 (£9.99) and offers increased rewards to those that level it up. Unlike the free version, the items available are much more valuable and include an extra reward at BP Lv. 30. Read More: Genshin Impact 2.3 leaks – Like most mobile games and free-to-play titles, Genshin Impact utilizes multiple currencies. Soaringneutrality suggests that this makes for “harder calculations and distances real money from the game.” This is shown in the game’s use of Primogems, the currency used to purchase Wishes. As of writing, 1,600 Primogems are needed to unlock a 4-star and 14,400 Primogems are needed to unlock a 5-star unit. This may seem like a significant amount of Primos, but the amount needed to purchase even a 10 pull is fairly high. Next on the list is that of “habit formation” – conditioning players to log into the game daily. Soaringneutrality claims that this is achieved by rewarding players with items for simply booting up the game. From daily quests to time-limited events, there are plenty of ways that Genshin Impact employs to keep its playerbase checked in. The above directly feeds into Genshin Impact’s progression system, which heavily relies on adventurers grinding Artifacts, character materials, and weapons upgrades. All these areas take a tremendous amount of time, particularly if players want to maximize their DPS. In fact, a lot of the end-game grinding and lack of meaningful content has sparked a huge debate amongst the Genshin community.

If you come across any inappropriate behavior on the part of our boss, Arataki Itto, please contact me immediately. “” — Kuki Shinobu ◆ Arataki Itto ◆ The First and Greatest Head of the Arataki Gang ◆ Geo ◆ Taurus Iracundus pic.twitter.com/c7Nb9LKDAL— Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) October 11, 2021 Genshin Impact 2.3 will introduce a number of new and returning characters, with one of the most hyped being Arataki Itto – a mysterious character who dominates the battlefield with powerful Geo attacks. Read More: Genshin Impact Arataki Itto revealed – Itto wields a Claymore and has a four-hit basic attack combo, which gains increased power. His Elemental Skill (Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!) hurls out a raging bull that deals Geo damage to enemies hit. Once the bull has finished charging, it will stay on the battlefield and taunt nearby enemies. Itto also gains one stack of Superlative Superstrenght – a passive that enables him to unleash empowered attacks. Lastly, Itto’s Elemental Burst (Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!) unleashes a flurry of devastating Geo hits that deal damage based off of his DEF. During this state, Itto also gains increased ATK SPD and resistances. Itto is described as “fast as the wind and mighty as thunder” and is an “intrepid man with Oni blood running through his veins.” Despite his demonic looks, Itto is known for his kindness and competitive nature. In fact, the Arataki Gang helps rid Inazuma of any troublemakers. Gorou Gorou is another character that is will be released in Genshin Impact’s 2.3 update. The Inazuman resistance fighter is known for his courage and loyalty, stopping at nothing to fight Baal’s Vision Hunt Decree. Read More: All Genshin Impact banner reruns – As a general in Sangonomiya Kokomi’s army, Gorou is no stranger to the hardships of battle. Gorou’s Elemental Skill (Inuzuka All Round-Defense) deals AoE Geo DMG and grants various defensive bonuses to those that stand within the ability’s radius. His Elemental Burst (Juuga: Forward Unto Victory) deals further AoE DMG, buffing fellow Geo units, and has the same effects as the war banner from his Elemental Skill. Gorou is officially described as having a “beast-like fighting intuition and tenacious will,” which enables him to “find a way to victory even in the most critical moments.” It’s this reliability that makes Gorou such a strong fighter in the Sangonomiya Resistance. Albedo Albedo will get a rerun in Version 2.3 and will be the second 5-star character alongside Arataki Itto. This inquisitive knight is the Captain of the Favonious Knights Investigation Team, which pioneers the research of Teyvat. Read More: Genshin Impact daily login rewards – Using Geo-based skills and deadly sword swings, Albedo can quickly crush his foes, dealing huge amounts of AoE damage to those that dare get in his way. The Albedo rerun is just one of the many returning 5-star characters that will be making a reappearance. Eula Eula is a deadly claymore user that freezes her opponents with ice-cold blasts and bursts them down with lethal sword swings. As a member of Mondstadt’s old aristocracy, Eula aims to break free from the tyrannical rule of her bloodline and set out on her own path. Eula will also appear alongside Albedo in a new rerun banner. Eula is currently the 7th Cryo unit in the game, joining the likes of Ganyu, QiQi, and Rosaria. Genshin Impact new rerun banner The Genshin Impact 2.3 will also include a new type of rerun banner, which will enable players to unlock previously released 5-star characters. Meanwhile, the shared wish count is separate from other wish types and will not affect each other. This is great news for those that want to unlock any characters they’ve missed from previous banner releases. Genshin Impact new Artifact sets Divine Chorus The Divine Chorus Artifact set looks to be the best build for Sangonomiya Kokomi, so travelers who were lucky enough to get the 5-star support will want to get their hands on this. After all, the added damage from the Healing Bubble will greatly increase Kokomi’s DPS potential. Husk of Opulent Dreams As 2.3 will introduce a number of new Geo characters to the game, miHoYo will be adding a new Artifact set that is tailor-made for these tanky heroes. Husk of Opulent Dreams enhances added DEF and ATK, making it particularly useful for Zhongli/Arataki Itto. Genshin Impact Golden Wolflord boss fight Genshin Impact’s 2.3 update will also bring a new boss fight to the game. The Golden Wolflord is a gigantic Geo enemy that resembles a spectral wolf that teleports into the arena from a far-off plane. Once summoned, the Planelurker will fly around the arena, bombarding the player with Geo-based projectiles and huge tornados. Read More: Genshin Impact 2.4 leaks – As the Geo wolf floats above the ground, it looks like players will have an easier time using ranged DPS units like Ganyu to hit its weak points. Early gameplay suggests that the Planelurker boss fight could potentially be the toughest foe in the game, so travelers will need to come prepared. Shadow Amidst Snowstorm event Taking place on Dragonspine, players will be able to build snowmen and take part in winter training events to unlock unique rewards. The new sword, Cinnabar Spindle, will also be unlocked via completing the various challenges. The Misty Dungeon will also make its return, giving players the chance to test their mettle against dungeon-filled enemies. However, unlike the previous event, Travelers will need to use Elemental reactions to stop the various traps that have been littered around each room. Energy Amplifier Fruition The Energy Amplifier event requires players to seek out the various POIs scattered around Teyavt. Once the locations have been found, travelers will need to take down hordes of mutated enemies. Upon their defeat, you’ll be able to claim some loot-filled chests. Bantan Sango Case Files: The Warrior Dog A mysterious case has appeared in Inazuma and Travelers will need to team up with the Bantan Sango Detective Agency to solve the strange animal disappearances. During the investigation, you’ll be tasked with finding and bringing the missing animals back. You’ll need to avoid being spotted by the various guard dogs that protect each site. Fortunately, travelers can use fireworks and smoke machines to distract the crafty canines, while a new event item called the Omni-Ubiquity net can stun them. This new event item can also be used to catch various overworld enemies and transfer them to your Serenitea Pot. Liben event Liben – the game’s traveling merchant will also be returning in Genshin Impact’s 2.3 update. Liben has appeared a number of times throughout Gesnhin’s events, giving players the opportunity to trade items for Primogems and other useful materials. Read More: Genshin Impact fans look to new competitor – Primogems will be given out to players that successfully fulfill his requests, so you’ll definitely want to claim these if you’re after the latest 5-star character. Shadowed Snowfall Travelers at Adventure Rank 20 or above can earn rewards in Shadowed Snowfall, during the event. Unlock Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus to further earn Intertwined Fate and a designated 4 star weapon. Purchasing Gnostic Chorus directly will unlock the exclusive BP namecard “Travel Notes: Lyratum” and Furnishing Blueprint “Of Fields Green: Clear Spring Fountain.” So, there you have it, everything we know about Genshin Impact 2.3.

  • Genshin Impact update 2.2 details: Thoma release, Tsurumi Island reveal, more – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact update 2.2 details: Thoma release, Tsurumi Island reveal, more miHoYoThe Genshin Impact patch 2.2 update is coming soon. MiHoYo has confirmed the arrival of Thoma, new weapons, events, and domains — as well as Tsurumi Island, Inazuma’s final major expansion. Here’s what you need to know about the update. The next major Genshin Impact update, Version 2.2, is on its way. After leaks promised the world, miHoYo unveiled a rather reserved package at their Tokyo Game Show livestream. However, we will still be getting some new content, including new character Thoma and the Tsurumi Island expansion. On top of that, a host of new weapons, events, and domains are expected to launch — and there’s a couple of small changes to Sucrose and Noelle. Here’s what you need to know. When is Genshin Impact update 2.2 releasing? Genshin Impact’s Version 2.2 update, named “Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog”, will drop on October 13, 2021. Players will be able to pre-download the patch starting from October 11 so they can jump right in as maintenance ends at around 4am BST on October 13. What’s coming in Genshin Impact update 2.2? Thoma finally released, Itto & Gorou revealed Thoma will be releasing in the 2.2 update as a new four-star playable character. Thoma holds a Pyro Vision and wields a polearm as his weapon. He is also a reliable teammate in combat, providing strong defense and buffs. Players were also expecting Yae Miko and potentially Kamisato Ayato — Ayaka’s brother — to drop as part of Genshin Impact update 2.2. However, neither were revealed in the special program. But, two others were finally revealed afterwards on October 10: Arataki Itto and Gorou. Arataki Itto ‧ Hanamizaka Heroics The First and Greatest Head of the Arataki Gang Fast as the wind and mighty as thunder, he is an intrepid man with Oni blood running through his veins.#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/YotIulzlYp — Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) October 11, 2021 Itto, the “first and greatest head of the Arataki Gang” is dropping in as a Geo-Claymore user. He also has a “Taurus Iracundus” tag, which indicates he will likely get a story quest as a five-star character. Gorou is much of the same. The General of the Watatsumi Army has the “Canis Bellatoris” tag, and will join the roster as a Geo-Bow user. Itto and Gorou’s release dates have not been confirmed. Given their teasers now though, they will likely come in update 2.3. https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1447503491371610112 Childe & Hu Tao getting re-runs, new Hangout Events Thoma will feature alongside the Hu Tao banner rerun, which will follow after Childe’s return on October 12. To complement these re-runs, new weapons like the five-star Polar Star bow will be dropping. Hangout Events for Thoma and Sayu will also be available with Version 2.2. Tsurumi Island launches with Genshin Impact update 2.2 Seirai and Watatsumi Island launched as part of Genshin Impact patch 2.1, which leaves just one to be added in 2.2: Tsurumi Island. The island is shrouded in dense fog, and players may easily get lost and encounter unprecedented challenges while exploring this area. To make matters even worse, there are a number of dangerous beasts that lurk within the darkness. Rifthounds and the Rifthound Whelps are stealthy beasts that use their steal to unleash deadly sneak attacks. When an attack hits a character, all party members will be affected by the “Corrosion” status and continually lose HP even if they’re shielded. Genshin Impact patch 2.2 new events Four new events will be dropping as part of Genshin Impact patch 2.2. These will, obviously, be spaced out across the release cycle. Labyrinth Warriors: A Rogue-like dungeon event, with players earning a free copy of Xinyan. – Shadow of the Ancients: Players have to accomplish investigation commissions across Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma to defeat an “Anomalous Model Ruin Grader” that seems to be constantly drawing power from an unknown source of energy to regenerate itself. – Tuned to the World’s Sounds: A music-themed event starring Ningguang, Zhongli, Keqing, Xiao, Kokomi, Ayaka, and the Raiden Shogun. – Dreams of Bloom: A Serenitea Pot-based event where you grow special plants to get new furnishings. – Genshin Impact update 2.2 balance changes: Sucrose & Noelle Despite criticism around Kokomi’s weak release, no buffs are expected to come to the Sangonomiya Clan leader. Instead, a couple of changes are coming to Sucrose and Noelle. They won’t affect their power in-game though, it’s just a revision of the skill descriptions to make it easier to read. There are some quality of life changes coming though. The Artifact limit is being increased to 1,500, and players can now skip multiple days in one time adjustment. You can find the full Genshin Impact update 2.2 notes below.

The Genshin Impact 4.1 update is rumored to see the release of Neuvillette, a deadly Hydro character who uses his position as Chief Justice to preside over Fontaine.

This material is dropped from the level 40+ Aeonblight Drake, Hydro Hypostasis, and Rhodeia of Loch.

As always, you can also use the Parametric Transformer to convert other materials into Varunada materials if you want to avoid farming these bosses. Lastly, you’ll need to find Transoceanic Pearls and Lumitoile. Transoceanic Pearls are dropped by Fontemer Aberrants, while leakers believe Lumitoile will be available in the Lefaye Area of Fontaine.

  • Genshin Impact new characters for 2.4 and beyond: Leaks and rumors – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact new characters for 2.4 and beyond: Leaks and rumors miHoYoGenshin Impact’s new character leaks have given travelers a sneak-peek into upcoming Version updates, so find out which 4-star and 5-star units will be coming to Teyvat in the future. Genshin Impact is constantly adding new characters to its ever-expanding world. In fact, the Version 2.4 update has recently added both Arataki Itto and Gorou to the game. While we’ve known about these characters for some time thanks to a number of Genshin Impact leaks, there are still plenty of new characters to look forward to. From the upcoming Shenhe banner to Scaramouche leaks, Genshin Impact is constantly updating its ever-growing roster. Whether you’re looking to save your Primogems for Genshin Impact’s new 5-star characters or just wish to see what lies ahead in the 2.4, and 2.5 updates, then our handy guide has you covered. All upcoming Genshin Impact characters Contents Arataki Itto – Baizhu – Cyno – Dainsleif – Gorou – Iansan – Kuki Shinobu – Lyney and Lynette – Scaramouche – Shenhe – Skirk – Thoma – Yun Jin – Yelan (Fu Hua) – Yae Miko – Yaoyao – Arataki Itto Arataki Itto has was previously leaked by Genshin Impact dataminers long before his announcement, but miHoYo has finally provided details on this new Geo character. Itto is described as being “fast as the wind and mighty as thunder” and is an “intrepid man with Oni blood running through his veins.” Read More: Best Arataki Itto Genshin Impact build – Despite his demonic looks, the stalwart leader of the Hanamizaka Heroics is known for his kindness and competitive nature. Various characters and in-game documents reveal that Itto has a rivalry with Kujou Sara. Ei’s loyal bodyguard famously bested him in combat and took away his Vision. Itto is rumored to have “ghosts” as part of his Elemental Burst, while his official splash art shows him wielding what appears to be a spiked club, which means he’ll likely be part of the Claymore class. Baizhu Baizhu is a Dendro NPC that runs the Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue alongside his zombie assistant, Qiqi. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Baizhu is his talking snake familiar, Changsheng. While miHoYo has yet to announce whether Baizhu will be playable, many Genshin Impact fans are hoping that the Dendro pharmacist will make an appearance in a future banner. Cyno Cyno was first shown in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview, which showcased a number of upcoming characters. Not much is know about Cyno, but we do know that he will be featured in the Sumeru update – the game’s upcoming desert region. Read More: All Geo characters in Genshin Impact – Cyno appears to hold a Polearm and features an Anubis-themed headpiece, which features ornate golden symbols. Meanwhile, his cloak has flowing blue tassels and he appears to be wearing a Shendyt – apparel that was common during Ancient Egypt. We’ll likely hear more about Cyno when the Sumeru update is announced. Dainsleif Dainsleif previously graced our screens all the way back in Chapter I: We Will Be Reunited. The mysterious character also made another appearance in the world quest Bough Keeper: Dainsleif. Not much is currently known about Dainsleif, but there are rumors that he is immortal. The Genshin Impact wiki noted that he says the following line when narrating Venti’s Collected Miscellany: “A thousand years have passed since the God of Anemo left this land. But to me, it has only been half that time.” MiHoYo has not given any details on his element, so we’ll have to wait a little longer before more details are announced. Gorou Gorou is an upcoming Geo character who will be releasing in Genshin Impact’s 2.3 update. MiHoYo has yet to release any official footage of Gorou’s Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill, but we do know that he holds a Geo Vision, and can be seen wielding a bow. Read More: Genshin Impact Codes (December 2021) – As a general in Sangonomiya Kokomi’s army, Gorou is no stranger to the hardships of battle. He is described as having a “beast-like fighting intuition and tenacious will,” which enables him to “find a way to victory even in the most critical moments.” Iansan Iansan is the last character that was revealed during the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview. Judging from her design, it looks like Iansan will use the Pyro element to pulverize her foes. Not only does her clothing look tailor-made for hot environments, but her splash art also showcases her obliterating rocks with fiery energy. The people of Natlan also famously worship Murata, the Pyro Archon. This means Iansan could likely end up using Pyro attacks to douse her enemies in flames. Kuki Shinobu Kuki Shinobu is an upcoming character that could be coming to Genshin Impact in a future update. While Kuki Shinobu’s abilities have yet to be revealed, we do know that she is rumored to be a 4-star Electro character. Snippets of in-game text state that the Kuki Shinobu is Arataki Itto’s sidekick and the Deputy of the Arataki Gang. In fact, the mysterious character is often responsible for keeping Itto’s antics in check. The fanart above is currently the only image we have of the upcoming character. Lyney and Lynette Lyney and Lynette also appear in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview. Both characters hail from the Fontaine region, which is known for its culture and arts. This somewhat explains the twins’ elegant design. In fact, both characters have a striking resemblance to 19th-century magicians and performers of the past. Read More: How to get Mora fast in Genshin Impact – Whether Lyney and Lynette will have different elements or synergies with one another remains to be seen, but they certainly look incredibly striking. Scaramouche Scaramouche is No. 6 of the Fatui’s Eleven Harbingers – a villainous group that aims to bring death and destruction to Teyvat. The Balladeer is first encountered by the Traveler, then resurfaced again in the Inazuma update. It’s rumored that Scaramouche commands an Electro Vision, which is denoted by his purple and black color scheme. The emblem on his chest also has a striking resemblance to the Electro symbol. Whether Scaramouche will be playable in the future remains to be seen, but Genshin Impact fans are hopeful that this villain may have a change of heart in future updates. Shenhe Shenhe was first uncovered by Genshin Impact leakers in November 2020, but since then, miHoYo has completely scrubbed her code from the game’s files. However, thanks to the recent beta leaks, we now have details on Shenhe’s Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and normal attacks. One leaker has suggested Shenhe will release in Version 2.4, which means players will soon be able to add the Cryo polearm user to their team. If you’re looking to unlock Lonesome Transcendence, then make sure you use our best Shenhe build. Skirk With the upcoming Childe banner return coming in 2.2, many Genshin Impact players have been researching his background. One name that comes up is Skirk, Childe’s mysterious master. Skirk is described as a powerful swordswoman and a “solitary girl who dwelt in the darkest corners of the universe.” Read More: Childe banner rerun in Genshin Impact – She has yet to make an appearance in Genshin Impact, so we’ll likely see Skirk in a future update. Yun Jin Yun Jin leaks have been cropping up since Genshin Impact’s first closed beta. MiHoYo recently revealed that Yun Jin is a Geo polearm user, while current leaks have depicted her as a supportive character that keeps her team safe with Geo-based shields. According to the Genshin Impact wiki, Yun Jin is affiliated with Liyue’s popular Heyu Tea House. It’s here where the singer entertains weary travelers with her beautiful singing. Many guests compare Yun Jin to Granny Ruoxin – another famous Liyue opera singer who dazzled her audiences. Yelan (Fu Hua) Genshin Impact leakers have yet to uncover Yelan’s in-game model, but thanks to the recent Moonchase trailer, we now have a rough idea of how she will look before her official release. In fact, Yelan has a striking resemblance to Fu Hua – a popular character in miHoYo’s other free-to-play title, Honkai Impact 3rd. While the design certainly has a striking resemblance, there’s sure to be some major differences when she comes to Genshin Impact. Yae Miko Yae is the chief priestess of Inazuma’s Grand Narukami Shrine. While miHoYo has yet to release official news on Yae’s abilities, we do have a number of details regarding the mysterious shrine maiden. It’s currently believed that Yae will command the Electro element. This rumor stems from her purple eyes and visible Electro Vision that has been placed within her golden earrings. Quite how she’ll use these electrical abilities remains to be seen, but we’ll likely see gameplay in the coming months. Yaoyao Yaoyao first appeared in official Genshin Impact artwork alongside the food-loving Pyro character, Xiangling. According to various voice lines and in-game texts, Yaoyao and Xiangling both studied under the same master chef. After spending time learning to cook alongside Xiangling, Yaoyao later found herself assisting Ganyu. While we currently only have the official artwork above to go off of, many players believe Yaoya has Dendro abilities. This certainly makes sense considering Dendro’s plant-based attacks have synergy with Pyro element (Burning Elemental Reaction). Yaoyao’s green dress and cross-shaped symbols certainly look befitting of this particular element as well. So, there you have it, all upcoming Genshin Impact characters that will be coming to the game in the future. Make sure you check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest leaks and info.

However, those lucky enough to win the 50/50 on the Nahida banner also have access to another exciting feature that enables the Sumeru Archon to traverse the overworld at lightning speed. This is obviously incredibly useful for Travelers who wish to explore the game’s vast world, particularly when scouring for Primogems and materials. Genshin Impact Nahida swing glitch Like most games, Genshin Impact’s community finds a variety of glitches that can prove hilarious or extremely useful. From glitches that give characters all elements to out-of-bounds glitches that enable Travelers to explore unreachable areas, there are always new things to be discovered. However, the latest Genshin Impact glitch involves none other than the new 5-star Dendro character, Nahida. While Nahida may not look like the best overworld explorer given her dainty size, this new unit is the quickest adventurer in all of Teyvat. In fact, players can cover huge amounts of ground when utilizing this glitch. Fortunately, it’s incredibly easy to pull off and only requires a few simple steps that have been outlined below: Sit atop any ledge that you can either dive off of or an area that has some height to it. – Wait for Nahida to enter her idle animation (signified by sitting on a swing). – Have a friend/alt account hit/push you forward via diving or use Xiao’s Elemental Skill. – If you’ve done the above correctly, Nahida will float through the air on her swing. It’s certainly one of the most interesting ways to get around Teyvat and one that can enable you to effortlessly reach difficult areas. The glitch has yet to be patched by HoYoverse, so be sure to give it a go while it still works. For more Genshin Impact news and guides, check out our Genshin page to receive the latest updates.

However, is Nahida worth pulling? Nahida is set to receive a rerun in Genshin Impact version 4.4. While this pint-size character may look unintimidating, she can pack a powerful punch when she’s kitted out with the best Artifacts.

She is an exceptionally powerful unit who can make several characters and units viable in the game. She has the best Dendro application in the game and her ultimate ability buffs the damage output of all units who have Elemental Mastery scaling. One of the biggest advantages of Nahida is that she is very easy to build. You can slot in multiple Elemental Mastery pieces which is enough to make her usable in the game. Additionally, Nahida works in a wide range of teams as she is key to triggering a variety of Dendro reactions. In short, she is quite flexible which makes her worth your Primogems. Some of the characters you can pair alongside Nahida include Alhaitham, Tighnari, Yae Miko, Keqing, Nilou, Baizhu, Kuki Shinobu, Raiden Shogun, Kokomi, Xingqiu, and Yelan.

  • Genshin Impact mod replaces Neuvellite with fan-favorite Pokemon – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact mod replaces Neuvellite with fan-favorite Pokemon HoYoverse / The Pokemon CompanyA Genshin Impact mod has added one of the most beloved starter Pokemon to the game, completely replacing the 5-star Hydro character Neuvellite. Genshin Impact mods aren’t officially supported by HoYoverse, but that hasn’t stopped the community from adding their favorite characters to the game. In fact, one of the latest additions that has received attention from the community is a Genshin Impact x Pokemon crossover mod. After all, the free to play mobile game utilizes elemental combat that players must master in order to capitalize on enemy weaknesses. This essentially makes Genshin Impact the perfect platform for a Pokemon crossover. Well, one Traveler has entered the spotlight by adding one of the most iconic first-gen starter Pokemon to Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact mod adds starter Pokemon to the game Posting on the Chinese video video-sharing platform, Bilibili, one player showcased themselves playing as Squirtle in Genshin Impact. During the clip, the Water-type Pokemon can be seen blasting Slimes and Hilichurls with hydro attacks while the original Pokemon theme tune plays in the background. While the mod doesn’t add any of Squirtle’s signature attacks to the game, Neuvillete’s kit actually works very well as a replacement. In fact, his charged attack looks very similar to Hydro Pump, while his Elemental Skill allows Squirtle to unleash deadly a waterfall that deals AoE Hydro damage. When these moves are combined with the waves unleashed from Neuvillete’s Elemental Burst, you have a recipe for a fairly accurate depiction of Squirtle. Of course, like all Genshin Impact mods, we don’t recommend using the Squirtle skin yourself as it can lead to an account ban. While it’s unlikely that an official Genshin Impact x Pokemon crossover will ever be revealed in the future, that doesn’t mean we won’t get other crossover content. After all, many players are still hoping for an Honkai Star Rail x Genshin Impact crossover event.

  • Genshin Impact fans relieved following Mika Stamina nerf announcement – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact fans relieved following Mika Stamina nerf announcement HoYoverseGenshin Impact announced its plans to minorly nerf Mika only days after he arrived in the game’s 3.5 update, causing players to breathe a sigh of relief. Genshin Impact added Mika to Shenhe and Ayaka’s re-run Wish Banners as the new 4-star character. After Rosaria, Mika marked the second Cryo Polearm user and served as The Surveyor of the Mondstadt Reconnaissance Company. Four days after Mika’s introduction as a playable character, Genshin Impact revealed it had incorrectly input the Stamina Cost of his Charged Attack at 20 instead of the typical 25. The reveal has come after many players expressed concern over the character’s overpowered build. Genshin Impact makes a minor adjustment to Mika On the Genshin Impact subreddit, Reddit user Gas4078 posted a screenshot of the game’s upcoming change to Mika. The announcement declared Mika’s Stamina Cost issue would be fixed in a March 30 update. Like usual nerfs, Genshin Impact will compensate players with Primogems for the adjustment. _MikasaChan_ praised the decision, “Imagine doing 5 charged attack with him as healer/support and then getting nerfed to 4. That was a freaking broken character.” Another user said, “His and Dehya’s beta was one of the saddest betas I’ve ever witnessed. I’m pretty sure Mika didn’t even receive any significant change to his kit for the entirety of the beta.” Genshin Impact’s previous banner featured the new 5-star Pyro Claymore user Dehya, whose underwhelming kit resulted in many players demanding HoYoverse fix the character. Despite many feeling Mika was overpowered, some gamers expressed disappointment over HoYoverse’s choice to change Mika. tetePT said, “They love making useless changes to characters that literally no one asked for.” Taokaka_chan assumed HoYoverse’s worries about the Cryo character were in conjunction with Hu Tao. “Noooo, my charged attack build, Mika, I’ll never recover from this,” they wrote. “They must be worried about him powercreep Hu Tao, this is a massive nerf, we need to demand Dehya buff as compensation.” While the gaming company nerfed Mika, other characters’ unfixed errors still remain. For example, Keqing’s Charged Attack costs 25 Stamina while other Sword characters’ ability uses 20 Stamina. It’s undetermined if HoYoverse will appeal to players’ requests for an improved Dehya kit.

  • Genshin Impact Mimi Tomo event: translations, Unusual Hilichurl locations & rewards – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact Mimi Tomo event: translations, Unusual Hilichurl locations & rewards miHoYoMimi Tomo is the latest event offering sweet rewards in Genshin Impact, but it’s not as easy as you’d imagine – there are a few steps to it, including translating the Hilichurl language and locating the Unusual Hilichurl. Upon picking up the quest from Katheryne after hitting Adventure Rank 20, you meet Ella Musk. While she may look like a child, don’t be fooled: she’s actually a scholar of Hilichurlian linguistics and studies the monsters’ native tongue intensively. She tasks you with helping her to locate and speak to willing Hilichurls in an effort to understand their language more and find the elusive Unusual Hilichurl. While this may sound like a breeze, it takes translating and carrying out certain tasks across seven days to finish. You have until June 8 to complete it all. Contents: Genshin Impact Mimi Tomo day 1 Day one of the Mimi Tomo request takes you to Starsnatch Cliff in Mondstadt. Once you’ve found the friendly Hilichurl, it’ll ask you for Mita movo lata which translates roughly to “meat water.” This is an easy one but if you’ve not guessed it yet, it’s asking for fish so either a Fish, Frog, Crab, or some Shrimp Meat will do. Next, you’ll be sent to Guili Plains in Liyue where you’ll get another request from a monster. This time, you need to go to a marked location and defeat two waves of Treasure Hoarders – easy! Once that’s done, the enemy will give you a time and place where the Unusual Hilichurl spawns, but you’ll have to decipher the language first. “Unta nunu” means “late night” so head over to the Windrise Statue of the Seven at 00:00 to encounter and fight the foe. Rewards: 60 Primogems, 6x Hero’s Wit, Embroidered Lantern: Lofty Grandeur blueprint Genshin Impact Mimi Tomo day 2 A new day means a new Mimi Tomo task! Head to Minlin in Liyue and speak to the Hilichurl. It’ll ask you to defeat two waves of Geovishap before giving you the location of the next friendly foe. Teleport to Dragonspine in Mondstadt and again, the monster will task you with beating up some baddies. Send the three waves of Treasure Hoarders packing and it’ll tell you “Unta mosi dada” which means “from lunch until just before sunset.” Read More: Genshin Impact codes (June 2021) – Show up at Liyue Harbor between 12:00 and 18:00 and you’ll find the Unusual Hilichurl.

Beat two waves of Abyss Mages for it and it’ll tell you where the next monster is waiting. Now travel to Qiongji Estuary in Liyue and this time, you’ll need to give it an item relating to “Celi lata.” This means “cold light source” and can be either a Luminescent Spine, Magical Crystal Chunk, Small Lamp Grass, Crystal Core, Crystal Chunk, or a Loach Pearl. The creature will tell you “Unta nunu” again which, if you forgot, means “late night” so show up at Stormbearer Mountains in Mondstadt at 00:00 to find the Unusual Hilichurl. Rewards: 60 Primogems, 6x Hero’s Wit, Silk Curtains: Fetching the Sanguine Sky blueprint Genshin Impact Mimi Tomo day 4 Bishui Plain, Liyue is your first destination for the day. Speak to the friendly enemy and it’ll ask you for “Gusha celi boya” – AKA a red plant. Hand it either a Valberry, Tomato, Jueyun Chili, Flaming Flower Stamen, Carrot, Silk Flower, Windwheel Aster, or a Snapdragon. It’ll send you to Windwail Highland in Mondstadt where another Hilichurl and request are waiting.

  • Genshin Impact makes big change to events with Three Realms Gateway Offering & fans love it – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact makes big change to events with Three Realms Gateway Offering & fans love it HoYoverseHoYoverse has introduced a major change to Genshin Impact events with the Three Realms Gateway Offering. The overhaul has fans begging the developer to keep the changes in future updates. To kick off Genshin Impact’s version 2.5 update, HoYoverse has launched the Three Realms Gateway Offering event on February 17. While on the surface it looks like any other in-game celebration, the Enkanomiya storyline has actually introduced a major change to how the gacha game handles events and fans are loving it. HoYoverse makes major change with Genshin Impact 2.5 event Ever since the debut of the first event in 2020, the vast majority of events in Genshin Impact have been spaced out across multiple days. Often called “time-gating,” players would have to come back at a later date to complete locked content. The design has often been a major complaint from fans. However, all of that has changed with the Three Realms Gateway Offering event in the Genshin Impact version 2.5 update. Not only does it not have time-locked content, but users can technically complete the month-long celebration in one sitting. YouTuber ‘Undiscovery Ch’ picked up on this massive change and made a video highlighting the difference between previous event-based content. Players immediately reacted to the changes with praise. “The fact that the even isn’t timegated is what made me finish Enkanomiya quest line. It allowed me to do it at my own pace instead of feeling rushed,” one player wrote. Another agreed and said, “The event not being timegated got me playing Genshin Impact for hours doing meaningful content, was fun as hell.” Other fans pointed out that the event changes allowed them to be more flexible with their own schedules. “I love this. I’ve got exams coming up so I’m glad I can just do the event in a few days and not miss out on it,” a comment read. It should be pointed out that HoYoverse has called the Three Realms Gateway Offering “exploration quests” so it’s possible that the new changes will only be applied to future events of similar design. This also makes sense given just how massive Enkanomiya is compared to past storylines. Still, many players praised the event overhaul and have begged the Chinese developer to drop time-gating for further in-game celebrations. Only time will tell whether the community gets their wish.

  • Genshin Impact Marvellous Merchandise event: rewards, end date, more – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact Marvellous Merchandise event: rewards, end date, more miHoYoGenshin Impact’s latest event will soon be available for a limited time, and it includes a series of missions that players can complete to earn Marvellous Merchandise and BattlePass EP. [jwplayer MvEjv9It] Genshin Impact officially released a little under a month ago, and it’s already captivated millions of gamers with its anime-influenced charm and elegance. It has plenty of content to keep players hacking and slashing for hours upon hours, with even more expected to come in the near future. It’s one of the freshest games on the scene, and its momentum won’t slow down anytime soon. However, to keep things interesting in the short-term, its publisher and developer, miHoYo, has been adding new events left, right, and center. The Marvelous Merchandise event is the latest one, and while it’s not anything revolutionary, it gives players a chance to complete a series of special missions to earn some decent loot. Here’s everything you need to know. How to participate in Genshin Impact’s Marvelous Merchandise event Unfortunately, the Marvellous Merchandise event isn’t available to everyone. Only players with an Adventure Rank of 12 and above can partake in the event. However, it’s not too hard to grind it out to that level, and the event hasn’t started yet, so there’s plenty of time to catch up. How to complete the Marvellous Merchandise event The Marvellous Merchandise event is essentially a treasure hunt mixed in with a series of traditional missions. To begin, players will need to find a merchant known as Liben. However, his location isn’t set in stone. He will move between different points throughout Teyvat. Naturally, that means you’ll need to track him down. To do that, you’ll need to follow a series of hints scattered throughout the land. Once you’ve found him, he’ll ask you to hand over some materials in exchange for a Box o’ Marvels. Liben will offer up to seven different Boxes o’ Marvels in total. Each one can only be obtained once. Players will have only have one chance per day to open a Box o’ Marvels. However, if a player has not used their chance to open a box for the day, they won’t lose it. The chance will remain until the end of the event. That means players can hold onto their chances and use them anytime before the event ends. However, once the event ends, any unused chances will be lost forever. If that was a bit confusing, here’s a quick summary: Find Liben. He will appear across Teyvat in random places. – Choose one of his Boxes o’ Marvels. – You can choose to open it on the spot, or wait. You can only open one box a day. – While you can roll over your box openings during the event, once the event ends, they’ll expire. – That just about sums up everything you’ll need to know. However, there is one small hint to keep in mind. Read More: Genshin Impact adds Klee in Oct 20 update – Each of the seven Boxes o’ Marvel has a different color, which means there is probably one for each element. It might not mean much other than what kinds of materials will be needed to earn each box, but it’s still good to know. When does the Marvellous Merchandise event start and end? Genshin Impact’s Marvellous Merchandise event starts on October 26 at 4am server time. However, all good things must come to an end, and it finishes exactly one week later on November 2nd at 4am server time. And with that, all that’s left to do is sit back, relax, and wait until the event starts.

  • Genshin Impact Lisa skin: Release date, design & everything we know – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact Lisa skin: Release date, design & everything we know HoYoverseA Genshin Impact Lisa skin will be released in the Version 3.4 update, so here’s everything we know about the masterful mage’s Sumeru-inspired cosmetic. While Travelers are currently waiting for the Genshin Impact 3.4 update to launch, HoYoverse has now revealed details surrounding the Ayaka skin and Lisa skin. The news comes via the official 3.4 livestream, which has announced lots of exciting new content that will be coming to the game. This is obviously incredibly exciting news for Lisa mains, especially for new players, as she is one of the free Genshin Impact characters that can be obtained without spending Primogems. So, without further ado, here are all the details we currently have surrounding the upcoming Lisa skin. Content Genshin Impact Lisa skin design – Genshin Impact Lisa skin release date – How to get Genshin Impact Lisa skin – Genshin Impact Lisa skin Lisa’s outfit (A Sobriquet Under Shade) is inspired by her old uniform from when she studied at Sumeru Akademiya. The outfit is said to be a “perfect balance between practicality and elegance.” The masterful mage can be seen wearing scholarly robes that are very reminiscent of Venti’s. The outfit features a green and white design, with a blue necklace and headpiece. Being deemed by Sumeru Akademiya to be their “most distinguished graduate in the past two centuries,” it makes sense then that the developers would release a Sumeru-themed skin for her. Genshin Impact Lisa skin release date The Lisa skin will release alongside the 3.4 update, which will go live on January 18, 2023. HoYoverse will also be releasing the Ayaka skin as well, giving Travelers the chance to finally add it to their collection. Unlike the Lisa skin, Ayaka’s alternate outfit is based on the Fontaine region’s dresses depicted in light novels and is said to “depict the lifestyle of proper ladies” who live in that region. How to get Genshin Impact Lisa skin Travelers can unlock the Lisa skin for free by completing the events and challenges in the 3.4 update. However, it’s also important to note that after the 3.4 event has ended, Travelers will need to spend money to unlock the skin. Judging from the past free skin prices, players can expect to spend 1680 Genesis Crystals to unlock Lisa’s outfit once it enters the shop. As a result, it’s best to run through the 3.4 event activities and claim it while it’s still free. So, there you have it, that’s everything we know about the upcoming Genshin Impact Lisa skin.

  • Genshin Impact player designs Ruin Guard built from Legos – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact player designs Ruin Guard built from Legos miHoYo / Twitter: @brentrkoeppA Genshin Impact player has designed a Lego version of a Ruin Guard – a common enemy in the popular mobile game. Genshin Impact has introduced many opponents since the gacha title’s inception in 2020. One of the first Elite Enemies players meet is a Ruin Guard. Ruin Guards are part of the Humanoid Ruin Machine group and the Automatons family. Inspired by the Ruin Guard, one Genshin Impact user used their creativity to craft a Lego Ruin Guard. The talented artist even attached the instructions for those interested in completing the project. Genshin Impact player creates Lego version of the in-game enemy Reddit user GhostTuppence posted his crafty creation on the Genshin Impact subreddit. The OP attached multiple images of their Lego Ruin Guard. The pictures also featured a Lego mini-figure of 5-star Anemo user Scaramouche that GhostTuppence previously made. Following inquiries about the Lego Ruin Guard, the Genshin player included a step-by-step guide on how to craft the enemy. The Ruin Guard – also known as Mr. Cyclops – can spin in circles like the in-game enemies. In the comment section, Genshin fans praised the Lego set and suggested ways to improve it. “Pitch your idea to Lego, although I think it would be nicer if it were darker in coloration,” Cosmin-Ruski wrote. “It looks really nice, if you build any more, please do post them here.” GhostTuppence responded, “Problem is, if I did make it darker, it would be unbelievably fragile since dark brown pieces are known to snap and break easy. A lot of the dark brown on this guy is already breaking.” “It really makes me wonder how there hasn’t been a Lego Genshin set, I know enthusiasts would love a jade chamber set or even the cathedral,” Fefofa remarked. In addition to the Ruin Guard, another Genshin user designed a Lego set modeled after the Liyue region. Check out our article for more information about the incredible design.

  • Genshin Impact Lego set transports fans to iconic Liyue location – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact Lego set transports fans to iconic Liyue location LEGO IdeasA Genshin Impact fan has designed a Lego set modeled after the game’s Liyue region complete with structures and character mini-figures. Released in 2020, Genshin Impact became one of the most profitable mobile games due to its gacha banner system. At the time of launch, Genshin Impact featured only two regions – Monstadt and Liyue – before later adding Inazuma and Sumeru. Inspired by Chinese architecture, Liyue is home to many mountains and ruins. One Genshin Impact fan took inspiration to create a Lego set based on Liyue Harbor. However, they need more votes to make it happen. Genshin Impact players recognize iconic characters in Lego form On the Genshin Impact subreddit, Reddit user Dr_Sev encouraged fans to vote for a potential Liyue Lego set. At the time of writing, the creation’s Lego Ideas page has close to 800 supporters with 400 days left to receive approval from the toy company. As stated in the product’s description, the Genshin Impact Lego set consists of 2,467 pieces featuring several of Liyue’s landmarks. The elaborate scene includes the main dock, market stalls, a street food cart, a wharf tower and bridge, a ship and two small boats, and water bases for dock pillars, tower, and boats. In addition to Liyue’s structures, Dr_Sev designed Lego mini-figures of several playable Genshin Impact characters. The featured Liyue natives include Xingqiu, Xiao, Zhongli, Xiangling, and Beidou. Most users praised Dr_Sev’s detailed Lego set but pointed out one small mistake. “That set is nice and I really want it to become official,” GuobaChad wrote. “Just see to it that you feed your Guoba a bit.” OnTheWayTo You added, “I love Xiangling’s chili sword and Guoba he lost so much weight… haha.” “Excellent job op I love this creation so much.” While Lego has collaborated with video game franchises like Super Mario, it’s unclear if the company will accept the Genshin Impact set proposal.

According to the leak, the Anemo Archon will return alongside the debut of Kamisato Ayato. After months of anticipation, HoYoverse is finally set to introduce 5-star hero Kamisato Ayato as a playable character in Genshin Impact Version 2.6. Besides the Hydro user’s debut, fans have equally been curious which 5-star character would get a return campaign. While many had theorized and hoped it would be Inazuma’s favorite Kazuha, a leaker claims that the Gacha RPG is going with a different Anemo character instead. The new rumor claims that Archon Venti will get a rerun banner during the 2.6 Update. Genshin Impact Version 2.6 Venti rerun leaked? With 2.6 only weeks away, anticipation over more information about the upcoming update has never been higher. Players have been desperate to learn about the RPG’s next rerun banner. On March 15, popular HoYovers leaker ‘Lumie‘ tweeted what they claim to be the banners for the first half of Genshin Impact Version 2.6. The leak was covered by ‘SaveYourPrimos’ on Twitter who posted “[Reliable] Lumie has revealed Ayato/Venti + Haran/Elegy for the first half of 2.6.” In Lumie’s tweet, they uploaded an image of Ayato and Venti side by side. According to the account, players can also expect 5-star bow Elegy for the End and Ayato’s new signature weapon called Haran. [Reliable] Lumie has revealed Ayato/Venti + Haran/Elegy for the first half of 2.6. https://t.co/C7oBidpCmq — SYP 💎🙌 Please tag 4.5 𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕤. (@SaveYourPrimos) March 15, 2022 Kazuha fans reacted to the reported 2.6 banners and were a bit disappointed by the latest leak. “Everyone pray that Kazuha is in the second half,” a player wrote. Another tweeted “This is the first time I wished this leak was fake but okay. Goodbye Venti and Haran. Just give me Kazuha already I’m broken.” One player simply exclaimed “Cries in no Kazuha.” Not everyone was upset though as Venti players were elated by the news. The Anemo Archon’s return had previously been speculated after a 2.6 datamine in February revealed a Swirl Bonus would be added in the Spiral Abyss, which matched his playstyle. Of course, it should be pointed out to take all of this with a grain of salt. While banners usually leak early, HoYoverse reportedly has made last-minute changes to them in the past, and they are always subject to change.

  • Genshin Impact leaked Yoimiya character quest could mean fireworks in Sumeru – Dexerto

    Genshin Impact leaked Yoimiya character quest could mean fireworks in Sumeru HoYoverseA Genshin Impact leaked Yoimiya character quest has players hoping for a firework celebration in Sumeru put on by the Inazuma native. Introduced in August 2021, Yoimiya is a 5-star Pyro Bow user from Inazuma. The character also serves as the owner of Naganohara Fireworks. Due to her position, citizens of Inazuma recognize Yoimiya as the “Queen of the Summer Festival.” During her Summer 2022 character quest, Yoimiya and the Traveler watched a cinematic firework show together. This time, Update Version 3.7 – which releases on May 24 – could include a summer festival in the new region of Sumeru. Genshin Impact Yoimiya quest points to Sumeru firework show On the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, Reddit user ukrisreng posted a screenshot of the alleged Yoimiya character quest. In the comment section, Genshin Impact players discussed what role the Pyro character could play in the game’s plotline. “Maybe she’s the one who will set Irminsul ablaze,” thebluepotato7 joked. “Yoimiya about to be a dark horse in Genshin. Watch her become pivotal to the plot,” TheQueenJess declared. Previously, Yoimiya mentioned how she would like to explore the world like the Traveler. However, running the family firework business prevents her from adventuring Tevyat. “But she still has her father to take care of, so she can’t easily travel to other nations,” Jerry_2016 remarked. “If her second story quest really takes place in Sumeru, that means her dream comes true!!” Considering Yoimiya’s last character quest, her potential appearance in the 3.7 update could mean Sumeru plans to hold a firework festival. The Dendro location’s reasoning for requiring an elaborate light show remains undetermined. Alongside Yoimiya, Genshin Impact officially revealed Kirara as an upcoming 4-star character. Initially, players believed Kirara was a 5-star Geo Bow user before emerging as Dendro. At this time, Kirara remains the only new addition to the game’s roster.

    Genshin Impact leak reveals Wanderer gameplay ahead of official release HoYoverseA Genshin Impact Wanderer gameplay leak has surfaced online, giving Travelers an early look at how he will function in-game ahead of his launch. The Wanderer is one of the most highly-anticipated Genshin Impact character launches – in fact, Travelers have been wanting to play as Scaramouche ever since he made his first appearance during the game’s main story. However, HoYoverse recently revealed that Scaramouche will be coming to Genshin Impact as a playable character in the future. It’s currently rumored that the deadly Fatui Harbinger will release in 3.3, alongside the Anemo 4-star Faruzan. While the developers have yet to officially reveal the Wanderer’s gameplay, that hasn’t stopped Genshin Impact leakers from releasing gameplay footage. So, if you’re wondering how the Wanderer performs in combat or just wish to see if he’s worth saving Primogems for, then be sure to get an early look right here. Genshin Impact Wanderer gameplay leak A Genshin Impact leaker has uploaded a video that shows how the Wanderer works alongside Faruzan, Eula, and Ayaka. During the clip, the player can be seen using his Elemental Skill to float through the air, dishing out huge amounts of AoE Anemo attack damage. It’s important to note that even when the Wanderer takes damage, he remains airborne and can continue his relentless aerial bombardments. Another interesting feature here is Scaramouche can also move while attacking his enemies, which could prove useful for repositioning and avoiding damage. Once all the Hilichurls have been knocked airborne with the Wanderer’s Elemental Burst, the leaker then briefly switches over to Faruzan. After using Faruzan’s Burst to reduce the Hilichurls’ Anemo resistance and boost the Anemo damage bonus, the player then switches back to Scara. Ayaka’s Cryo damage is also effortlessly spread across the enemies, thanks to both the Wanderer and Faruzan’s Swirl. The leaked Wanderer gameplay certainly looks incredibly promising, but we’ll have to wait until his official release before we can see what he is truly capable of.

    Genshin Impact leak shows how Ayato and Ganyu make the ultimate Freeze team HoYoverseA new Genshin Impact leak has showcased just how broken Ayato and Ganyu are when both characters are used together, giving Travelers an early glimpse at their synergies. Ayato is an upcoming Genshin Impact Sword character who utilizes AoE Hydro abilities to douse his opponents with water. This makes the 5-star particularly useful for Freeze teams, which can capitalize on his Elemental Burst. However, a new Ayatao gameplay leak has revealed just how OP he is when paired with Ganyu – one of the best Genshin Impact characters. Ganyu is known for her powerful charged attack damage, which when using her most powerful build, can instantly eliminate enemies with deadly crits. Ayato and Ganyu’s synergy means that the pair could be one of the most powerful combinations in Genshin Impact, which is incredibly exciting for those wanting to maximize their damage and take down the game’s hardest Spiral Abyss content. Ayato & Ganyu synergy make the ultimate Freeze team While the Ayato banner isn’t even officially out yet, that hasn’t stopped a number of leakers from uploading gameplay of the 5-star Hydro character. In fact, a new Ayato gameplay video has showcased just how OP he could be when used alongside Ganyu.

During the clip, Ganyu can be seen activating her ultimate, which summons gigantic icicles that come raining down from the sky above.

This ult is very similar to Ganyu’s, but instead of summoning icicles, Ayato unleashes droplets of water that explode upon impact, dealing AoE Hydro damage to all those hit.

    Genshin Impact leak shows Yelan and Hu Tao may make deadly duo HoYoverseA new Genshin Impact leak has revealed how potent Yelan and Hu Tao could be, giving Travelers an early look at their strong synergies. The Genshin Impact leaks continue to pour in as we approach the release of the 2.7 update, which is rumored to see the arrival of Yelan. This upcoming 5-star Bow character utilizes ranged attacks to safely barrage her foes with AoE Hydro abilities. While HoYoverse has yet to officially reveal Yelan’s gameplay, footage of the Valley Orchid has surfaced on various social media platforms. As a result, Genshin Impact fans have been able to get a sneak peek at her Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and how she synergizes with the game’s characters. In fact, the leaks have enabled us to formulate the best Yelan build ahead of her debut, which means you can begin farming for her right now. However, those looking to build the strongest Yelan team comps may want to add Hu Tao to their roster. Yelan & Hu Tao create ultimate Vaporize Genshin Impact team Despite Yelan’s banner not even being released yet, that hasn’t stopped a number of leakers from uploading gameplay of the 5-star Hydro character. In fact, a new Yelan gameplay video has showcased just how powerful she could be when used alongside Hu Tao. Read More: Genshin Impact codes (April 2022) – During the short clip, Travelers can get a glimpse of how this dynamic duo could function when paired together. After spawning in an enemy, the player activates Yelan’s Elemental Burst, which deals AoE Hydro and unleashes coordinated attacks with active characters. Once this ability has been activated, the player then switches to Hu Tao and unleashes her Elemental Skill. This increases Hu Tao’s attack and infuses her Polearm hits with Pyro. When combined with Yelan’s Hydro Burst and the coordinated attacks, Hu Tao is consistently able to proc the Vaporize damage modifier. It’s certainly not hard to see why many Genshin Impact players will be looking to spend their Primogems and roll on the Yelan banner. Whether she has what it takes to replace Xingqiu in the Hydro support meta remains to be seen, but for now, her kit looks promising for Pyro DPS units.
