Tectone mocks claims that Lost Ark will “kill” Genshin Impact miHoYo/SmilegatePopular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, has given his views on claims that Lost Ark could dethrone miHoYo’s free-to-play title. Genshin Impact players have wanted a competitor to miHoYo’s free-to-play title for some time, and many are hoping Lost Ark could do just that. Lost Ark is an upcoming MMO ARPG that aims to wow players with its grueling dungeons, beastly boss fights, and customizable character classes. While the game has been out in South Korea since 2018, the popular action title is finally making its way to western audiences. With Lost Ark’s release date just around the corner, many Genshin Impact players believe Smilegate’s title could potentially dethrone Genshin – or even replace it. However, Tectone was keen to highlight his views on the subject. Is Lost Ark the new Genshin Impact killer? “I hear a lot of comments stating that Lost Ark is going to be the Genshin killer. I just want to say that it’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever f*cking heard,” said Tectone. “It makes no sense whatsoever, because number one, the genre is completely different. Genshin Impact is a single-player gacha game, while Lost Ark is a top-down Diablo-style MMORPG.” It’s clear the two games offer a completely different experience from one another and Tectone believes that Lost Ark is not a Genshin Impact competitor at all. In fact, he believes players can simply enjoy both games. “Genshin Impact takes about 10 to 15 minutes a day to actually play. No matter what Lost Ark does, you’ll always have 10 minutes a day to spend 150 Resin and then log off.” For many players, one of the biggest complaints surrounding miHoYo’s free-to-play title is the current lack of end-game content. Read More: All Lost Ark characters & Advanced Classes – Tectone noted how Genshin fans shouldn’t be concerned about Lost Ark as a competitor, instead, they should simply enjoy both games. “Is Lost Ark going to replace Genshin Impact? No, you should be playing them both together. Dump your Resin, then play Lost Ark for a bit… I feel like if you’re bored of Genshin and need a swap, then try Lost Ark for a little bit.” With the upcoming 2.5 release of Yae Miko and new events to look forward to, there’s certainly plenty of new content for players to enjoy. Whether Smilegate’s upcoming MMO ARPG will prove as popular as Genshin Impact remains to be seen, but for now, Tectone believes both games can coexist.

Tectone gives honest verdict on new Genshin Impact competitor – Dexerto
Tectone gives honest verdict on new Genshin Impact competitor TectoneTectone has revealed his thoughts on The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin – an upcoming anime open-world game that aims to compete with Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact continues to prove incredibly popular, but the free-to-play game has yet to receive any real competition. Well, this could potentially change when The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin releases. This upcoming anime game has a lot of similarities to Genshin Impact, while also adding its own unique twists to the F2P formula. Despite the recent 2.5 update and upcoming Sumeru region, Travelers are hoping that this upcoming title will force HoYoverse to improve the current state of Genshin Impact. Popular streamer, Tectone, recently gave his opinions on the so-called “Genshin killer”, where he revealed his thoughts on The Seven Deadly Sins game. Tectone gives honest opinion on Genshin Impact competitor While Genshin Impact fans have wanted a major competitor since the game’s release, there have yet to be any titles that have managed to rival it. However, that hasn’t stopped a number of anime-inspired games from catching players’ attention. Read More: Genshin Impact codes (March 2022) – One of the most recent examples is The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin – a free-to-play open-world game based on a popular anime. The title is still currently in development for mobile platforms, PC, and consoles. Despite this, a trailer featuring the game’s open-world environments, flashy battle system, and overworld exploration has been released. “It’s cool, and I’m going to try it out,” explained Tectone. “I’m going to say that I’m decently hyped, but there are so many red flags with this trailer, it’s ridiculous.” The streamer’s main concerns were that the trailer was purely cinematic and did not show any in-game footage. Tectone also voiced his fears over the developer and monetization that could hinder the upcoming title: “Number two, it’s handled by Netmarble. Number three, this game screams downloadable content and paid-gated DLC.” “I hope that it’s just Genshin Impact, but better. I honestly hope,” said Tectone. “The other red flag is that if this is the entire environment they’re trying to showcase, then it’s really not that big.” Whether The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin ends up being a major Genshin Impact competitor remains to be seen, but for now, HoYoverse’s F2P giant continues to go unrivaled.

Tectone explains why Zenless Zone Zero is more than just a Genshin Impact clone – Dexerto
Tectone explains why Zenless Zone Zero is more than just a Genshin Impact clone HoYoverseA popular Genshin Impact streamer has given his first impressions on Zenless Zone Zero, an upcoming anime action game that is vying for players’ attention. Zenless Zone Zero is the latest game from the developers behind the ever-popular open-world title, Genshin Impact. While HoYoverse’s new title has yet to be released, that hasn’t stopped a number of lucky players from playing Zenless Zone Zero early. In fact, the beta has given us an early glimpse of the team-based combat, colorful characters, and story elements. Despite only being in the early stages of release, Tectone has given his thoughts on Zenless Zone Zero, revealing why he is hyped for the game’s official launch. Zenless Zone Zero first impressions “This game does a lot of good,” said Tectone. “The combat is really nutty…and the characters all feel sufficiently different. This game does have mirrors to Genshin Impact, but it’s also a completely different game. I would say calling this game a Genshin clone is an idiotic statement – this is just a completely standalone game.” The streamer notes that Zenless Zone Zero has a number of similarities to Punishing Gray Raven and Honkai Impact. An area that is especially true when looking at the flashy combat animations and combos – something that Tectone was keen to highlight. “Combat is a definite 10 out of 10 for me,” explained Tectone. “It’s as smooth as f*cking butter and the mobs actually do damage, which is something I was not expecting. If you get hit, you get really f*cked up.” The streamer also praised how Zenless Zone Zero rewards players that master the game’s dodge system, which enables players to become invulnerable and raises their damage. “It’s defensive and offensive so it makes dodging feel very rewarding,” said the streamer. Timestamp 0:18 Unlike Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero doesn’t feature a stamina system, which means players can freely dodge whenever they like. Despite this, Tectone notes that even when spamming dodges, he was still taking damage. “So far, I haven’t been able to avoid all damage via spamming [dodge] and if you do just spam, you’re not able to deal damage,” he added. This will likely come as a relief to those that want a decent challenge and not just breeze through the game’s content. However, Zenless Zone Zero isn’t without its faults. “The town (hub) feels a little bit drab, I really feel like they could have spiced things up by adding in a couple of different colors, especially during nighttime,” explained Tectone. “The biggest downside so far is the story. The story is all over the f*cking place. There’s so much sh*t going on that it feels very convoluted right now, but maybe that will clear up as we go.” It’s important to note that Zenless Zone Zero has yet to be officially released, so a lot could change before launch. While it’s still early days, Tectone seems very hopeful that HoYoverse’s upcoming title could prove to be a decent option for Travelers that have grown bored of Genshin Impact.

Tectone explains why Genshin Impact fans shouldn’t expect big changes in 2022 – Dexerto
Tectone explains why Genshin Impact fans shouldn’t expect big changes in 2022 Tectone/miHoYoPopular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, has given his views on the current state of Genshin Impact in 2022. Following on from the Genshin Impact Lantern Rite event which added limited-time quests and rewards, Tectone has revealed his thoughts on the state of the free-to-play game. Like most players, the streamer has been incredibly vocal when it comes to discussing Genshin Impact’s content. While many Genshin fans are currently looking forward to the 2.5 update, which will see the release of Yae Miko and new events, veteran players are still waiting for meatier content they can dive into. With The Chasm and Sumeru region marking the next big content release, the community is still desperate for more meaningful changes to end-game content – an area Tectone is very doubtful of. Tectone on the current state of Genshin Impact “Genshin Impact was never a game meant to be played in the foreground for eight, nine, ten hours a day,” explained Tectone. “It just really wasn’t. [It’s] when you burn your Resin in 15 minutes and realize there is truly nothing left.” The popular streamer notes how Travelers who have completely explored Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Enkonomiya often have very little to do. While miHoYo is constantly adding new regions and content, with the latest being The Chasm, Tectone notes that the wait between each new update leads to a drought for many players. “Let’s be real, if you’ve played Genshin Impact for longer than two months, you’ve probably already done all [the content], unless you’re playing incredibly casually.” However, Tectone noted how this isn’t exactly a bad thing for veteran players. “It’s actually kind of nice to play the game for 15 minutes a day. Do your Resin and then log off. While yes, it obviously frustrates every single person that plays the game that we want more of, but the reality is in 2022, there’s no reason to ask for changes to a game that we know we’re never going to get.” Segment beings at 2:55 Ever since its release, Genshin Impact players have wanted miHoYo to add better end-game content that is less reliant on Artifact farming and Spiral Abyss. While limited-time events like Windtrace and Labyrinth Warriors have proven the devs can add fun content that isn’t grindy, there has still yet to be any meaningful changes. “Genshin Impact will never be more than 20 to 30 minutes of fun every single day, besides major content releases,” said Tectone. “New characters will come out, you will not have the Primogems to roll on them, so just let Genshin be what it is. Save up your summons, get what characters you want, farm what you need.” While the Genshin streamer notes that his opinion may change in the future, Tectone currently doesn’t believe there will be any major updates to the game’s core loop that will alter his current opinion. “You will enjoy Genshin Impact better if you make it your side game. Nothing will ever kill Genshin Impact, besides maybe the new Seven Deadly Sins game… Genshin Impact is good for what it is, but if you’re hoping for end-game content and more permanent features to do, you’re not going to get them.” For more Genshin Impact updates, be sure to check out our Genshin Impact guides: Albedo build | Aloy build | Arataki Itto build | Ayaka build | Diluc build | Eula build | Ganyu build | Best Genshin Impact characters: Ranked tier list | Gorou build | Jean build | Keqing build | Klee build | Kokomi build | Qiqi build | Raiden Shogun build | Xiao build | Yoimiya build | Yae Miko build | Yun Jin build | Zhongli build | Genshin Impact codes | How to get Mora | How to get free characters | What is Pity in Genshin Impact? | Where to buy apples | Genshin Impact cross-save: How to link accounts | All Cryo characters | All Electro characters | All Geo characters | All Pyro characters | Is Genshin Impact on Steam?

Tectone defends Genshin Impact after hate over “unoriginal” Ayato design – Dexerto
Tectone defends Genshin Impact after hate over “unoriginal” Ayato design Tectone/miHoYoAyato’s reveal has been one of the most hyped character reveals in Genshin Impact, but some fans aren’t happy with his design. Well, popular streamer Tectone had a few things to say regarding this matter. After months of speculation and leaks, miHoYo has finally revealed exactly what Kamisato Ayato looks like. His official splash art was revealed via the Genshin Impact Twitter account, giving players a detailed look at the Yashiro Commissioner. As the older brother of Ayaka, Ayato has a close resemblance to his sister. This has led to Genshin Impact fans calling out miHoYo over the lack of originality surrounding the upcoming 5-star Hydro character’s design. However, popular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, believes that the community is creating unnecessary drama over Ayato’s appearance. Tectone on the Genshin Impact Ayato design drama In his latest video, Tectone has been keen to address the Genshin Impact community over its anger towards Ayato’s design. Currently, there are a number of players who believe the new Hydro character has too many similarities to his younger sister, Ayaka. “Y’all understand that brothers and sisters look alike, right? Like, that’s kind of how genetics work,” explained Tectone. “Are you going to look me in the eye and say ‘wow this baby is so unoriginal because he looks like his f*cking dad?’ Shut the f*ck up.” Timestamp of 3:51 A lot of the complaints come from how both Ayato and Ayaka share the same hair color and elegant attire. Tectone was keen to highlight just how ridiculous these remarks were, particularly when it comes to the characters’ hairstyles. Read More: Ayato banner in Genshin Impact – “Secondly, ok, the mother f*ckers’ go to the same barber. They can’t control that sh*t, ok? What do you want? There are only so many hairstyles in the world, man. Do you want them to give him a f*cking mohawk,” the streamer joked. “Do you think every single character is never going to share a similarity ever? Why the f*ck does it matter?” It’s clear Tectone believes the anger over Ayato’s design is ridiculous, especially given how miHoYo has yet to officially reveal his 3D model. We’ll likely get a better look at Ayato’s in-game design and abilities in the months to come.

Tectone calls out Genshin Impact for “censoring” alternate character outfits – Dexerto
Tectone calls out Genshin Impact for “censoring” alternate character outfits Tectone/miHoYoPopular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, believes the new alternate outfits for Mona, Jean, Rosaria, and Amber could be cause for concern when it comes to the game’s censorship. Genshin Impact has added alternate outfits for a number of its characters’ default skins, which can be unlocked for free in the 2.4 update. The likes of Mona, Jean, Rosaria, and Amber all received a number of changes, with some outfit redesigns being hit harder than others. Despite the community recently praising the Lantern Rite Keqing and Ningguang skins, the newly released alternate outfits have sparked some controversy. Players outside of China can freely switch between these new skins, Tectone believes the recent censorship surrounding Genshin Impact’s characters could be the start of a worrying trend for miHoYo’s free-to-play title. Tectone discusses Genshin Impact censorship Genshin Impact players who do not play on the game’s Chinese server will still be able to utilize the original Mona, Jean, Rosaria, and Amber skins. However, the new redesigns will now be featured when any of the above characters appear as NPCs or during cutscenes. This may seem like a rather minor change, but Tectone gave his opinions on why he doesn’t like the new adjustments. “In my opinion, any censorship is not good censorship. That’s because it prevents the developers from making what they want.” “I’m worried about every other character’s design having to adhere to China’s regulation. I know this isn’t the biggest deal from a cut and dry perspective, but the thing is, there are some characters where it just doesn’t make sense for their personality.” Timestamp of 1:48 Arguably the biggest character change comes to Rosaria, Genshin Impact’s rebellious church member. Her redesign has completely covered up the Cryo character, which Tectone argues goes against her unorthodox personality. “It’s so gross, it’s so disgusting. “It doesn’t make sense for Rosaria’s character, because Rosaria is supposed to be rebelling against the church. This [alternate skin] is like the one she is forced to wear by the church because of rules and regulations.” However, the Genshin Impact streamer remained positive and hopes that future character censorship doesn’t hit the global server. “I’m hoping they just adhere to China’s guidelines for the CN servers, but for every other server, we just get how miHoYo wants to create their characters.” Quite how drastic future character redesigns will remain to be seen, but for now, many Genshin fans will be hoping that their favorite character won’t receive any major reworks.

Sykkuno teaches Disguised Toast how to whale in Genshin Impact – Dexerto
Sykkuno teaches Disguised Toast how to whale in Genshin Impact Disguised Toast/SykkunoSykkuno has been teaching Disguised Toast how to get guaranteed 5-star characters in Genshin Impact, which led to the popular streamer spending more money on the game’s current banner. Following on from his debut Genshin Impact stream, Disguised Toast has teamed up with Sykkuno to help him learn the ropes. Disguised Toast previously caught the attention of the game’s fans after he spent big bucks on the Arataki Itto banner. However, Sykkuno has been teaching Disguised Toast how he can use his whaling to his advantage. While spending vast amounts of money in Genshin Impact doesn’t always reward you with the exact 5-star you want, it does increase the amount of pulls you can get, and can even guarantee you a rare character. Sykkuno teaches Disguised Toast how to get 5-stars in Genshin Impact After Disguised Toast lost the 50/50 on Genshin Impact’s Shenhe banner, Sykkuno encouraged him to purchase more Pimogems. “I’m just going to say, there’s a 90% chance, you’ll get [Shenhe] because there’s bad luck protection.” This “bad luck protection” is known in-game as Pity. Like most gacha games, Genshin Impact has a system that rewards players with a guaranteed 5-star after a set amount of pulls. In fact, players can obtain a guaranteed 5-star character if they haven’t received one in 90 pulls. After Sykkuno explained this, Disguised Toast was instantly ready to whip out his credit card. “I guess I can spend another $30, you know” replied the streamer. “I spent $30, because of what you said Sykkuno.” Disguised Toast then proceeded to begin pulling on the Shenhe banner, while Sykkuno struggled to contain his laughter. However, Toast managed to successfully unlock Shenhe in his next 10 pull, which led to a lot of excitement from the group. However, his victory was quickly crushed by the realization that he had spent too much to get her. “I should have just spent the $10 to see if I got [Shenhe].” While he may not have needed to spend the $30 extra to unlock Shenhe, Toast seemed happy with his new 5-star character.

Switch 2 release could finally be the Genshin Impact news we’ve been waiting for – Dexerto
Switch 2 release could finally be the Genshin Impact news we’ve been waiting for HoYoverseThe wait for Genshin Impact Switch edition could be over for Nintendo fans with the arrival of the Switch 2. After years of rumors and speculation, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently announced that the successor to the Switch will be revealed this year. Furukawa broke the news via an official post on X (Twitter), where he wrote: “We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year.” While nothing related to the Switch 2 will be announced during the Nintendo Direct presentation in June, the arrival of a new Nintendo console could finally put an end to one long-awaited release – the Genshin Impact Switch edition. The Genshin Impact Switch reveal was originally announced way back in 2020, and since then, Nintendo fans have been patiently waiting for its release. Currently, HoYoverse’s free to play anime game has proven popular across PC, mobile, and PlayStation consoles – achieving record-breaking sales milestones and releasing several massive content updates. However, with the game firmly into its fourth year, many Nintendo fans have begun to lose hope in a Genshin Impact Switch release date ever being announced. While HoYoverse has been radio silent on the matter, they did provide an update back in 2022. During an interview with GoNintendo, the developers stated that, “The Switch version is still in development, and [they] will release more information as we progress further along.” Well, with the Switch 2 now being revealed later this fiscal year, we could now see HoYoverse finally reveal a Genshin Impact release on a Nintendo platform – it just might not be on the original Switch. Whether this is down to the platform having lower specs or HoYo having a tough time optimizing the game for the portable console remains to be seen, but one thing is clear, the Switch 2 will be a direct upgrade. In fact, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been confirmed by Reuters to be running on a custom Nvidia chip. The addition of an Ampere-based GPU would also allow the Switch 2 to access modern rendering techniques like DLSS 2 super-resolution and DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction. While we will hear more about the Switch 2 specs later this year, the added power should help in both the visual and performance departments. This is a particularly tantalizing prospect for Genshin Impact fans, as the open world title does feature stunningly beautiful locations and intense battles, which would certainly benefit from the added power of a Switch successor. Whether a HoYoverse will reveal a Genshin Impact Switch release in June’s Nintendo Direct or whether they will ditch the Switch port in favor of its successor remains to be seen, but either way, it looks like Nintendo fans may not have too much longer to wait.

Best Sucrose Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Sucrose Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseSucrose might be called the Harmless Sweetie, but the Genshin Impact Anemo Catalyst user can be deceiving. She thrives on knocking her opponents around and buffing allies’ reactions with Swirl. If you need a good Anemo support, we’ve got the best Sucrose build here with her top artifacts and weapons. As far as supports go in Genshin Impact, one you see crop up a lot (alongside Bennett) is Sucrose. The Mondstadt Alchemist is cheap to build, easy to use, and does a very good job of buffing her allies, making her a favorite for new and veteran players alike. However, just because she’s easy doesn’t mean she can’t be perfected. Finding the right artifacts and weapons, as well as knowing her combos, can go a long way to making the most out of her. So, without further ado, read on to check out the best Sucrose build in Genshin Impact, including the artifacts and weapons you need to grind for. Contents Sucrose abilities – Sucrose constellations – Best Sucrose artifacts – Best Sucrose weapons – Sucrose Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Best Sucrose team comp – Sucrose abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Wind Spirit Creation Normal Attack: Sucrose performs up to 4 attacks using Wind Spirits, dealing Anemo DMG. – Charged Attack: Sucrose consumes a certain amount of Stamina and deals AoE Anemo DMG after a short casting time. – Plunging Attack: Calling upon the power of her Wind Spirits, Sucrose plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground. – Sucrose’s Normal Attacks frankly don’t do much. Unless you hit her C4 (more on that below), they’re practically worthless. However, it’s good for proccing Swirl with both Normals and Charged Attacks (which are stronger), so weave those together to keep those reactions bouncing. Elemental Skill: Astable Anemohypostasis Creation – 6308 Sucrose creates a small Wind Spirit that pulls opponents and objects toward its location, launches opponents within its AoE, and deals Anemo DMG. This is good for just doing a bit of damage as well as grouping up enemies. If you play Sucrose on-field as a taser, you can whittle the cooldown with attacks once you hit her C4, and can quickly become her primary carry tool because of that. Elemental Burst: Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II Sucrose hurls an unstable concoction that creates a Large Wind Spirit. While it persists, the Large Wind Spirit will continuously pull in surrounding opponents and objects, launch nearby opponents, and deal Anemo DMG. Not only that, but the Burst can absorb other Elements — Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro — and Swirl those, dishing out plenty of additional Elemental DMG. This makes her a very powerful enabler with lots of Elemental Mastery because those reactions hit like a truck. Sucrose constellations Find multiple copies of Sucrose? You’ve got plenty of great constellations to look forward to — especially that aforementioned C4. Level 1 — Clustered Vacuum Field: Astable Anemohypostasis Creation – 6308 gains 1 additional charge. – Level 2 — Beth: Unbound Form: The duration of Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II is increased by 2s. – Level 3 — Flawless Alchemistress: Increases the Level of Astable Anemohypostasis Creation – 6308 by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Alchemania: Every 7 Normal and Charged Attacks, Sucrose will reduce the CD of Astable Anemohypostasis Creation – 6308 by 1-7s. – Level 5 — Caution: Standard Flask: Increases the Level of Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Chaotic Entropy: If Forbidden Creation – Isomer 75 / Type II triggers an Elemental Absorption, all party members gain a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus for the corresponding absorbed element during its duration. – Best Sucrose artifacts in Genshin Impact Sucrose does benefit from one artifact fact in particular: Viridescent Venerer. Given the bonus Swirl damage as a 4-Piece and how Sucrose’s abilities each rely on the mechanic, it makes sense to run it for all the bonus damage. Given all of Sucrose’s passives and abilities rely on Elemental Mastery, too, it’s a no-brainer that a lot of her artifact stats should try to optimize it. This includes trying to hit it on every piece’s substat at the very minimum, or main stat if possible. However, stats like ATK%, Anemo DMG%, and CRIT don’t go astray. That means if you can’t find good Viridescent Venerer sets, Instructor or Wanderer’s Troupe are great to fill the void. With that being said, here are all of Sucrose’s best artifacts in Genshin Impact. Best Sucrose weapons in Genshin Impact Now, you can choose to run Sucrose as a hard-hitting DPS or more of a support focused on laying down all her spells at once to group enemies. Regardless, you’ll want Sacrificial Fragments for her weapon as it both maximizes her Elemental Mastery and gives her a second cast of her skill (if lucky). The latter is a better build to focus on, and if you do so, there are two great free-to-play options in Mappa Mare and Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. The latter, despite being a three-star weapon, boasts the best ATK buff in the game and should not be undersold. However, if you are willing to spend a bit, A Thousand Dreams helps her with Elemental Mastery. Find Sucrose’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below: Sucrose Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Funnily enough, Sucrose is one of a few select characters in Genshin Impact whose Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials can all be found in one region: Mondstadt. It kind of makes sense, given the Alchemist’s background in studying all things in the North. You can get Hurricane Seeds from the Anemo Hypostasis and Spirit Locket of Boreas from the Andrius boss in Wolvendom for her boss materials. Whopperflower Nectar can be found by killing the aforementioned flowers, and Windwheel Asters are dotted across the Anemo nation. You can find a full list of Sucrose’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials required to max her out below: Sucrose Talent Level-Up materials Sucrose Ascension materials Best Sucrose team comp Sucrose, much like Xingqiu and Bennett, is a true support in Genshin Impact that can be splashed into any comp. Her Anemo powers are greatly appreciated by everyone, helping group up enemies and Swirl big reactions on the battlefield. Pairing her with DPS allies that can take advantage of these big Swirls like Diluc, Ganyu, Hu Tao, or Ayaka is a great option. Throw in a healer and another support, and that’s a very solid team. However, if you want Sucrose to shine a bit more, you can run her in a taser team alongside Fischl, Beidou, and Xingqiu, applying both Beidou and Xingqiu’s bursts very effectively with her fast normals. Regardless though, if you just need an Anemo ally to help build out your team, Sucrose is generally the most flexible option. If you need an Anemo support in a pinch, Sucrose is your best option — especially when it comes to bang for buck. Need more allies to pair her with?

Simply fast travel to the Teleport Waypoint west of the region and walk down onto the nearby beach. Once there, simply scour each beach and island for any Starconch that appears on the ground. They’re incredibly easy to spot as their bright blue shells really stand out amongst the sand, so once you find them, simply use the interact button to add them to your inventory.

In fact, those looking to ascend both Childe, Gaming, and Yelan will need to collect 168 of them for each character.

Squid Game comes to Genshin Impact with incredible viral crossover – Dexerto
Squid Game comes to Genshin Impact with incredible viral crossover Netflix / miHoYoA viral mashup with Squid Game and Genshin Impact shows how incredible a crossover between the two would be – despite the number of adorable characters that would be at risk. People are loving Squid Game with the internet clipping, memeing, and generally talking about Netflix’s latest release since it premiered in Sept 2021. Fans have been showing up in numbers too, with crossovers from everything including cosmetic ideas to mods. The Genshin Impact community has also been in the mix with collabs that feature popular characters from miHoYo’s ARPG. One that’s going viral is YouTuber ‘genshashin’s odd to the game and what a proposed Squid Game event might look like. While the premise of the show’s various trials and challenges are easy to reproduce, we doubt we’ll see Genshin’s beloved characters disposed of in the same way. But genshashin’s video gave us a peek at what that might look like. “After binge-watching Squid Game last week, this vid was just begging to be made,” the YouTuber said. “Also this is probs the first-ever vid I’ve made that includes every single playable Genshin character to date.” With dozens of characters to include, the crossover featured series favorites like Baal, Kazuha, Jean, Sara, and, well, everyone else from Genshin. Klee was even slotted as the creepy Green Light, Red Light doll from the show. No show spoilers, but Genshashin also managed to weave a bit of the RPGs gameplay with some of the nuances that could be found in the show. As for the characters getting disqualified, the director found a clever way to naturally make them move without it feeling stunted or awkward. “If you’re wondering why it’s mostly pyro chars getting blasted in the Squid Game vid, it’s cuz I wanted to choose idles that used an ‘outside force’ to cause the character to move (e.g. Xinyan with frog, Baal with bird),” Genshashin said. “It just so happens it’s mostly pyro ppl that do so lol.” There’s been a ton of incredible Squid Game crossovers since it’s gone viral, and we can’t wait to see what else the Genshin community comes up with.

Squid Game Dalgona Challenge comes to Genshin Impact with amazing crossover – Dexerto
Squid Game Dalgona Challenge comes to Genshin Impact with amazing crossover miHoYo/NetflixSquid Game has returned to the colorful world of Genshin Impact, tasking Teyvat’s contestants with completing the infamous Dalgona Challenge. Squid Game’s deadly challenges may have come to an end in season one, but for the world of Genshin Impact, things have only just begun. In fact, one talented Genshin Impact content creator has been recreating the bloody game’s from Netflix’s ever-popular show. Previously, genshashin had Teyvat’s travelers take on the terrifying Green Light, Red Light Challenge. This faithful recreation proved popular amongst Genshin Impact and Squid Game fans, with many praising its playful take on the creepy children’s game. However, genshashin has now tasked the game’s beloved cast with completing the Dalgona Challenge – one of Squid Game’s most iconic trials. Genshin Impact x Squid Dalgona Challenge Squid Game’s Dalgona Challenge task competitors with cutting out a shape from a circular honeycomb with a needle. This may seem incredibly easy, but the brittle nature of the sugar-based sweet, mixed with the intricate design of the shapes can make for many a mishap. Read More: Genshin Impact Eula banner rerun – The shapes range from circles, triangles, stars, and the notorious umbrella. While the simplistic shapes may be easy to cut out, the more complex objects require a little more effort. After all, even one mistake can lead to the Dalgona breaking. While this may not be a problem in the real world, for the contestants of Squid Game, it results in a swift death from one of the armed guards. Well, it seems that the Dalgona Challenge has made its way to Genshin Impact. However, instead of the pink armed guards, contestants are eliminated by Xiao – the game’s masked Adeptus. “This is definitely the most difficult video I’ve edited for this channel so far, because of the sheer amount of rotoscoping I had to do,” explained genshashin. Well, it looks like the talented content creator’s hard work has certainly paid off. Make sure you check out the Genshin Impact Dalgona Challenge for yourself to see if your favorite character manages to avoid a fatal strike from Xiao’s polearm, or whether they fail to make the cut.

She is primarily a healer but can also deal damage through her ultimate. She also features the Bond of Life mechanic, similar to Arlecchino and Clorinde. Ever since she made her first appearance in the game, players have been waiting for her release. She has a very fun personality and plays an important lore in Fontaine’s Archon quest. If you are one of those players and want to pull for her, we have you covered.

When it bounces, it will restore HP to all nearby party members based on Sigewinne’s Max HP, excluding herself. Once the bubble disappears, it will restore HP to Sigewinne based on her Max HP value. When no opponents are present, the Bolstering Bubblebalm will bounce nearby. Hold Enter Aiming Mode, and blow an even bigger, even more breathtaking Bolstering Bubblebalm! The Bolstering Bubblebalm will grow bigger the longer the skill is Held, until it grows in size twice. For each tier in size it grows, the DMG it deals to opponents it hits increases by 5%, and the healing provided to nearby characters increases by 5%. – After weaker opponents are hit by big Bolstering Bubblebalms, they will be imprisoned and will be unable to move. When big Bolstering Bubblebalms bounce, they will drop down a tier in size, until they return to being normal Bolstering Bubblebalms. – In addition, 2 Sourcewater Droplets will be created near Sigewinne when she uses Rebound Hydrotherapy. Each Sourcewater Droplet Sigewinne absorbs will grant her a Bond of Life worth 10% of her Max HP. When Sigewinne’s Bond of Life is cleared, she regains 1 Elemental Energy for every 2,000 HP worth of the Bond of Life that was cleared. Sigewinne can regain up to 5 Elemental Energy in this way. Arkhe: Ousia Bolstering Bubblebalms periodically call down a Surging Blade on the position they hit an opponent, dealing Ousia-aligned Hydro DMG based on Sigewinne’s max HP. – Elemental Burst: Super Saturated Syringing Takes out a special Fortress of Meropide-made syringe and assaults the area in front with waves of kindness and medicine, dealing AoE Hydro DMG based on Sigewinne’s Max HP. In addition, Sigewinne absorbs up to 2 nearby Sourcewater Droplets within a certain range when she uses this skill. Passive Skills Requires Appropriate Rest Sigewinne grants herself the “Semi-Strict Bedrest” effect for 18s after using Rebound Hydrotherapy: Sigewinne gains an 8% Hydro DMG Bonus and 10 stacks of Convalescence. – When the Elemental Skills of your nearby off-field party members other than Sigewinne deal DMG, consume 1 stack of Convalescence, and increase the DMG dealt by this instance of Elemental Skill DMG. Every 1,000 Max HP Sigewinne has above 30,000 increases the DMG by 80. The maximum DMG increase for Elemental Skills that can be gained in this way is 2,800. – Detailed Diagnosis, Thorough Treatment When Sigewinne performs healing, the amount healed for this instance is increased based on the total current value of the Bonds of Life on all party members: For each 1,000 HP worth of Bonds of Life, the outgoing healing is increased by 3%. The amount of healing provided can be increased by up to 30% in this way. – Emergency Dose While underwater, heal your active character over 2.5s when their HP falls under 50%. The amount healed is equal to 50% of their Max HP, and their All Elemental RES and Physical RES will be decreased by 10% for 10s. This effect can be triggered up to once every 20s. – Sigewinne Constellations in Genshin Impact Sigewinne’s Constellations in Genshin Impact are as follows: Level 1- Can the Happiest of Spirits Understand Anxiety: The first 3 bounces of Rebound Hydrotherapy’s Bolstering Bubblebalm will not cause a larger Bubblebalm to become smaller, and it can bounce 3 times more. Additionally, when a Bubblebalm bounces, it will grant Sigewinne 1 stack to her Convalescence tally. Must unlock the Passive Talent “Requires Appropriate Rest” first. Every 1,000 max HP Sigewinne has above 30,000 increases the DMG by 100. The maximum DMG increase for Elemental Skills that can be gained in this way is 3,500. You must first unlock the Passive Talent “Requires Appropriate Rest.” Level 2- Can the Most Merciful of Spirits Defeat its Woes: When using Rebound Hydrotherapy and Super Saturated Syringing, Sigewinne can create a Bubbly Shield worth 30% of her Max HP that absorbs Hydro DMG with 250% efficiency. Additionally, when Rebound Hydrotherapy’s Bolstering Bubblebalm or Super Saturated Syringing hits an opponent, that opponent’s Hydro RES will be decreased by 35% for 8s.

Level 6- Would the Most Radiant of Spirits Pray for me: When Sigewinne performs healing, she will increase the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG of her Super Saturated Syringing based on her Max HP. Every 1,000 Max HP she has will increase CRIT Rate by 0.7% and CRIT DMG by 1.6% for 15s. The maximum increase achievable this way is 20% CRIT Rate and 110% CRIT DMG. Best weapons for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact Silvershower Hearstrings This is a 5-star bow and is the best one for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact. This weapon comes with an HP% secondary which is crucial for Sigewinne’s scaling. Additionally, whenever a character equips this weapon, they receive the Remedy effect. If the Remedy stacks are at 1/2/3, the HP of the wearer will be increased by 12%/24%/40% respectively. Stacks can be gained by using the Elemental Skill, increasing the Bond of Life status, and healing. Players can trigger these effects even when the character is not on the field. Once all three stacks are active, the equipped character will gain a 29% Crit Rate bonus for their Elemental Burst (Ultimate). Aqua Simulacra This might be the best DPS bow in the game and Yelan’s best-in-slot, but if you have one to spare, it will work on Sigewinne. Aqua Simulacra provides a massive 88.2% Crit DMG bonus and increases damage based on HP. The passive works exceptionally well with Sigewinne and helps her become a competent sub-DPS unit. Favonius Warbow This is a 4-star weapon that will help Sigewinne function as a dedicated support. This weapon has an Energy Recharge substat that will help Sigewinne use her own Ultimate a lot quicker. Additionally, whenever she lands a Crit hit, she will generate particles for everyone else in the team. Best artifacts and stats for Sigewinne and Genshin Impact Best artifact set The best artifact set for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact is Song of Days Past. The set bonus for the artifact set are as follows: Sigewinne artifact stats The stats you should focus on Sigewinne in Genshin Impact are as follows: Sigewinne ascension and talent level-up materials in Genshin Impact Ascension Materials If you want to ascend Sigewinne in Genshin Impact, you will need Varunada Lazurite Silver and its upgrades, Water that Failed to Transcend, Romaritime Flower, and Transoceanic Pearl. The exact number of required materials are as follows: Where to farm Sigewinne ascension materials in Genshin Impact Varunada Lazurite Silver and its upgrades Varunada Lazurite Silver can be farmed from the Hydro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. You can locate it in Watatsumi Island in Inazuma. Water that Failed to Transcend This material is a drop from the boss Hydro Tulpa. You can find it in Fontaine near the Beryl Region. Transoceanic Pearl and its upgrades The Fontemer Abberant enemy drops Transoceanic Pearl in Fontaine. You can locate this enemy from the Adventurer’s Handbook and clicking on Navigate.

Romaritime Flower This is a local specialty of Fontaine and can be found around the Court of Fontaine and General Laboratory ruins. Talent level-up materials If you want to level up Sigewinne’s talents, you will need Teachings of Equity and its upgrades, Transoceanic Pearl and its upgrades, and Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom.

It can be found in Fontaine and the material is available on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom This material is dropped by the boss All Devouring Narwhal and needs to be unlocked through Fontaine’s Archon Quest. Sigewinne talent and constellation recommendation In this section, we will discuss the talents and constellations you should prioritize when leveling up Sigewinne in Genshin Impact. Talent priority The order in which you should level-up Sigewinne’s talents are: Elemental Skill – Elemental Burst – Elemental Skill is the most crucial component of Sigewinne’s kit as it is her healing ability. If you want her to deal damage, Elemental Burst must also be leveled up. Constellation priority The constellations you can focus on when building Sigewinne are: Constellation 1 – Constellation 2 – Constellation 1 improves the healing uptime which improves her utility as a support. Constellation 2 reduces the Hydro RES of enemies, which makes Sigewinne viable in teams featuring Neuvillette, and Furina. Sigewinne pros and cons in Genshin Impact The pros and cons of Sigewinne are as follows: Should you pull for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact? The question of whether you should pull Sigewinne or not depends on your priority. If you are in urgent need of a healer, you can definitely go for her. She functions in a wide number of teams and will help with crowd control and buffs. However, if you already have a healer like Kokomi, Sigewinne will not be a good choice. This is because Kokomi’s healing and Hydro application is far superior and she is much more flexible with team comps. As always, if you like Sigewinne as a character, you should definitely pull for her. Best team comp for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact The best team partners for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact are Navia, Chiori, and Furina. This is because Navia relies on Crystallize reaction and all the units in this team can enable that mechanic quite efficiently. Additionally, you can also go for a Hyperbloom team with Sigewinne, Baizhu, Fischl, and Furina. The double Hydro comp helps create Dendro cores effectively and Fischl’s Electro application triggers the reaction. Sigewinne trailer in Genshin Impact On June 24, 2024, HoYoverse released the official trailer for Sigewinne on their YouTube channel.

Elemental Burst: Secret Rite – Twilight Shadowpiercer Perform a secret rite, entering the “Twilight Meditation” state, during which Sethos’s Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos’s Elemental Mastery.

Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s through this method. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, consume the corresponding amount of Elemental Energy; if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then consume 50% of the corresponding amount of Elemental Energy. The Sand King’s Boon Sethos gains the “Scorching Sandshade” effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos’s Elemental Mastery. The Scorching Sandshade effect will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met: 5s after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent. – After 4 Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents. – When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos will regain Scorching Sandshade after 15s.

Best weapons for Sethos in Genshin Impact The best weapon for Sethos in Genshin Impact is the 5-star option Hunter’s Path. This Bow will grant Sethos a 12% Elemental DMG bonus in addition to increasing his Charged Attack DMG by 160% of his Elemental Mastery. This is perfect for Sethos based on his kit scaling on Elemental Mastery and reliance on Charged Shots. If you don’t have Hunter’s Path, another 5-star option is The First Great Magic to increase Charged Attack DMG by 16%. Lastly, an efficient 4-star weapon is Cloudforged to improve Elemental Mastery after using Elemental Energy. Best Artifacts for Sethos in Genshin Impact You could run the 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe or 4-piece Gilded Dreams to maximize Sethos’s potential. I suggest going for the former if you want to increase the power of Sethos’s Charged Attacks greatly. On the other hand, you can buff both ATK and Elemental Mastery by going with the 4-piece Gilded Dreams for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as Sethos. Sethos Ascension and Talent Level-up materials in Genshin Impact Sethos in Genshin Impact needs Vajrada Amethyst Silver and its upgrades, Trishirate, Faded Red Satin and its upgrades, and Cloudseam Scale. The materials across each level have been listed below: Ascension materials Talent level-up materials Sethos in Genshin Impact needs Teachings of Praxis and its upgrades, Daka’s Bell and Faded Red Satin, and its upgrades for his talents. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Sethos Talent and Constellation priority in Genshin Impact Talent priority Normal Attack – Elemental Burst – Elemental Skill – You must prioritize leveling up Sethos’s Normal Attack to deal some serious damage with his Level 2 Charged Shots. Constellation priority C2 – C6 – We suggest pulling for Sethos’s second and sixth Constellation if you want to maximize his potential. Sethos’s sixth Constellation is his best, considering its Elemental Energy generation after his Aimed Shots. Sethos Pros and Cons in Genshin Impact Should you pull for Sethos in Genshin Impact? Sethos isn’t a necessity for anyone’s team in Genshin Impact. There are much better 5-star Electro characters, such as Yae Miko and Raiden Shogun. Still, you may pull Sethos while trying to add Clorinde to your roster. Best Sethos team in Genshin Impact Sethos performs well on teams focused on Aggravate or Hyperbloom Elemental Reactions. For Aggravate, we suggest running him alongside Fischl, Nahida, and Kazuha. This will guarantee Electro application that efficiently works with his Charged Attacks. As for Hyperbloom, we recommend the same setup except for switching Kazuha to Xingqiu. Instead of Charged Attacks, this focuses on Sethos’s Normal Attack playstyle. If you’d like, you can also replace Fischl with Raiden Shogun. Sethos Genshin Impact trailer On June 1, 2024, Genshin Impact posted Sethos’s official character demo.

If you do not have Skyward Atlas, you can also go for Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds as that weapon has CRIT Rate substats. Finally, if you do not have any of the 5-star weapons, you can go for The Widsith which is an exceptional 4-star choice for Wanderer.

Best Rosaria Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Rosaria Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseRosaria is a niche character in Genshin Impact, but if you put the Cryo Polearm into the right team, she shines brightly. If you follow our guide with her best build, artifacts, weapons, and more, you can make the most of her rather dynamic kit. Rosaria isn’t necessarily the most standout Genshin Impact character, both in lore and on the battlefield. However, she does a respectable job as a bit of a Swiss army knife that can bend into many different roles and do them all to a serviceable standard. If you do want to get the most out of her, though, you’ll want to really let her shine as an Off-Field DPS or Support, abusing her lack of internal cooldowns and high Elemental Burst tick rate to get plenty of reactions off. We’ve got the best Rosaria build in Genshin Impact right here, including the top artifacts and weapons you should prioritize. Contents Rosaria abilities – Rosaria constellations – Best Rosaria artifacts – Best Rosaria weapons – Rosaria Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Rosaria trailer in Genshin Impact – Best Rosaria team comp – Rosaria abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Spear of the Church Normal Attack: Rosaria performs up to five consecutive spear strikes. – Charged Attack: Rosaria consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. – Plunging Attack: Rosaria plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – There’s not much to say about Rosaria’s Normal Attacks. They’re slow and rather clunky, but if you are waiting for swap cooldowns or spacing out abilities it doesn’t hurt to throw a couple out. Just don’t build for it. Elemental Skill: Ravaging Confession Rosaria swiftly shifts her position to appear behind her opponent, then stabs and slashes them with her polearm, dealing Cryo DMG. However, this doesn’t work against all enemies — larger foes like Mitachurls won’t get backstabbed. This ability is mostly used to farm particles, but across longer combats the damage stacks up. Use it to reposition in a fight to get closer to your foes before dropping your Burst and spamming a couple of attacks to maximize damage output. Elemental Burst: Rites of Termination Rosaria swings her weapon to slash surrounding opponents then summons a frigid Ice Lance that strikes the ground. Both actions deal Cryo DMG, and the Ice Lance will periodically release a blast of cold air that deals Cryo DMG to surrounding opponents. This is the main part of Rosaria’s kit, giving her very solid off-field presence as a set-and-forget burst. It also has no internal cooldown on Elemental Reactions, meaning you can get some nasty combos off with each tick of damage. Rosaria constellations Find multiple copies of Rosaria? You have these constellations to look forward to. Level 1 — Unholy Revelation: When Rosaria deals a CRIT Hit, her ATK SPD increases by 10% and her Normal Attack DMG increases by 10% for 4s. – Level 2 — Land Without Promise: The duration of the Ice Lance created by Rites of Termination is increased by 4s. – Level 3 — The Wages of Sin: Increases the Level of Ravaging Confession by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Painful Grace: Ravaging Confession’s CRIT Hits regenerate 5 Energy for Rosaria. Can only be triggered once each time Ravaging Confession is cast. – Level 5 — Last Rites: Increases the Level of Rites of Termination by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Divine Retribution: Rites of Termination’s attack decreases opponents’ Physical RES by 20% for 10s. – Best Rosaria artifacts in Genshin Impact Rosaria is a bit of an interesting character in Genshin Impact because she serves two very similar roles in two very distinct comps. This ultimately changes her best artifacts as those you run in a Freeze comp are different from that in a Reverse Melt one. For Freeze, Blizzard Strayer is the only option — with as much ATK, CRIT Rate, and DMG, plus Cryo DMG you can chuck on top. Noblesse Oblige is the budget option, but just having the 4-Piece Blizzard Strayer with bad substats is way better as the bonus is too good. For Reverse Melt, Noblesse Oblige is once again a solid option as she is a good holder for the buff, but if you really want to maximize the damage you want as much Elemental Mastery as possible plus the Lavawalker set to really let your carries shine. You can find the full list of Rosaria’s best artifacts in Genshin Impact below. Best Rosaria weapons in Genshin Impact Let’s face it — you could just give Rosaria a five-star polearm as her weapon in Genshin Impact and call it a day. If you have the money, do that by all means. However, for players on a tight budget, there are some decent four-star options. The standout is Wavebreaker’s Fin, which is, in all honesty, her best weapon across the board. The Elemental Burst DMG buff is insane, especially when refined. If you missed the original event, though, Dragon’s Bane actually works in Reverse Melt comps with the Pyro buff. If you do splash out for the five-star polearm, though, go for Staff of Homa. You can find Rosaria’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below. Rosaria Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Rosaria’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials are some of the easiest to farm for in Genshin Impact. She’s one of the few reasons to look at picking up those Valberries around Mondstadt (also great to farm these in your teapot for achievements), and she also uses the widely available Recruit’s Insignia. For boss materials, you’ll need to slay the Cryo Regisvine and do the Childe boss fight in Liyue — easy enough. As far as leveling up Rosaria’s talents, you want to focus on her Elemental Burst first, as it’s her primary damage and utility tool. Her Normal Attacks are pretty low damage even with investment, so look at leveling your Elemental Skill second before boosting your regular attacks. Rosaria Talent Level-Up materials Rosaria Ascension materials Rosaria Genshin Impact trailer Not many four-star characters in Genshin Impact have full trailers, but Rosaria does. She came into the line-up a bit later than most Mondstadt characters, and so miHoYo gave her the full treatment in her intimidatingly titled “Purger of the Shadows” showcase. It dives into her backstory as a nun at the Church of Favonius, doing her bidding in a more secretive fashion. It also showcases some of her combos and powerful utility. Best Rosaria team comp Rosaria fits nicely into two team comps as we discussed earlier: Freeze and Reverse Melt. Both really revolve around her Elemental Burst and making the most of the reactions on offer, and there’s some crossover between the two in terms of character synergies. Chongyun is the big standout for Cryo Resonance — which amplifies Rosaria’s effectiveness thanks to bonus CRIT Rate — as well as his resistance shredding abilities. Another support worth mentioning is the classic pick of Bennett, who is the superior of the four-star supports out of him and Xingqiu to run alongside Rosaria. However, given Rosaria isn’t likely to be your main DPS and rather an off-field DPS or support option, you need some actual damage. That’s where Ganyu, Kokomi, Mona, Kazuha, Xiangling, or even Klee come in. They will dish out the damage for you (Ganyu, Mona, Xiangling, and Klee especially), or provide you with a nice mix of utility and damage for a well-rounded team (Kokomi and Kazuha). If you aim for Freeze, you need the Hydro in there with Mona or Kokomi plus Anemo (Kazuha, Jean, or Sucrose). For Reverse Melt, you need the Pyro Resonance with Bennett plus one — fourth slot is a flex for either Cryo or Anemo. Need more allies to pair Rosaria with?

Raiden Shogun & Kokomi rerun banner becomes biggest in Genshin Impact history – Dexerto
Raiden Shogun & Kokomi rerun banner becomes biggest in Genshin Impact history HoYoverseRaiden Shogun and Kokomi have combined forces to break Genshin Impact records, with the dual banner in Version 2.5 becoming the biggest in the game’s history. It overtook the original Inazuma Archon banner just hours before Kamisato Ayato’s release. Every three weeks, Genshin Impact players wait with their horde of Primogems, waiting to see whether rolling for the upcoming banners are worth it. Sometimes it’s a new, untested character, or a fan favorite missed on the first time around. However, the stars have aligned in HoYoverse’s latest drop, with the dual Raiden Shogun and Sangonomiya Kokomi banner breaking Genshin Impact records in terms of popularity. The two Inazuman characters paired up gave the developers their highest-grossing banner yet, according to Genshinlab. Stats from China’s iOS market show the Shogun and Kokomi rerun made $33,560,259 USD to March 29. This pipped Raiden Shogun’s launch banner back in September 2021, which barely crept over $33 million USD. While Shogun’s original banner is still the biggest solo drop, beating out Venti on the game’s launch by $2.5 million, the dual banners are seemingly here to stay. Read More: Most popular Genshin Impact characters – It was a perfect storm for HoYoverse with Shogun and Kokomi’s return. Both characters have gained massive popularity in the community, both for their looks and also insane in-game power. While Kokomi was once memed for being weak, she’s now considered the best healer in the game — all while dishing out plenty of damage with Ocean-Hued Clam. Raiden Shogun needs no introduction for their power, having been abundantly clear since launch. Now with the newly-released Kamisato Ayato and Venti (now on his second rerun) up for grabs to start Version 2.6, all eyes will be on whether the male pairing can topple the queens of Genshin.

Nintendo fans lose hope for Genshin Impact Switch release date – Dexerto
Nintendo fans lose hope for Genshin Impact Switch release date HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact Switch release date remains a mystery, and Nintendo fans are losing hope that it will ever come to the portable system. The Genshin Impact Switch reveal was originally announced way back in 2020, and since then, fans have been patiently waiting for its release. HoYoverse’s free to play anime game has proven popular on PC, mobile, and PlayStation consoles – achieving 2 billion in revenue during the game’s 1st Anniversary Event. However, with the game now celebrating its fourth year, many Nintendo fans have begun to lose hope in a Genshin Impact Switch release date ever being announced. Nintendo fans lose hope over Genshin Impact Switch release date “At this point you might as well snap a controller on your phone and pretend it’s a Switch,” joked one player. “A switch runs on a 5-year-old mobile processor after all. The experience would be miles better. I don’t really see a need for an actual Switch version for Genshin” While many Genshin Impact fans were keen to point out the Switch’s aging hardware, and the limitations that could hamper the experience – it’s clear that Nintendo fans still want what HoYo had originally promised. “People will go on and on about the Nintendo Switch’s hardware as if MiHoyo had no idea what they were gonna be working with,” replied another commenter. “It may be released on Nintendo’s next Switch-like console, but like, why announce it for the Switch if there’s gonna be no follow-up?” While HoYoverse has been radio silent on the issue, they did provide an update earlier last year. During an interview with GoNintendo, the developers gave the following statement: “The Switch version is still in development, and we will release more information as we progress further along.” It’s because of this statement and the lengthy wait, that many Nintendo fans now believe the HoYoverse will release Genshin Impact on Nintendo’s next platform release. “At this point, they are probably waiting for Switch 2 for a better showing due to improved performance” noted one commenter. “I don’t think they want to run/look worse than BOTW, which is very optimized for switch hardware so it will be hard to match.” For now, Nintendo fans will need to wait for further announcements regarding the Genshin Impact Switch port.

Best Nilou Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp – Dexerto
Best Nilou Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp HoYoverseNilou is a 5-star Hydro unit who dances for the Zubayr Theater in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything you need to know about effectively building her. Nilou is a niche character in Genshin Impact, where she can work in a very specific setup, but is unmatched in her role. She has received a rerun in Genshin Impact version 4.8 phase 1 and is still worth pulling in the current meta. In combat, Nilou has the ability to transform Dendro Cores into Bountiful Cores, which have a higher explosion radius than the standard form. However, the damage from the Bountiful Core’s explosions requires a team healer to recover from the impact. If you’re looking to build Nilou, keep reading for our recommended Artifacts, weapons, and more. Best Nilou build in Genshin Impact Best Nilou Artifacts The best artifact set for Nilou is a combination of 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith and 2-piece Vourukasha’s Glow. The set bonus for each of them is as follows: You do not need much for Nilou in terms of buffs apart from high HP stats. This makes the 2-pc sets worth using. Best Nilou weapons Key of Khaj-Nisut This is the best weapon for Nilou in Genshin Impact. It is a 5-star sword that increases the HP of the wearer by 20%. Additionally, the wielder gains the Grand Hymn effect upon hitting an opponent with their Elemental Skill. This effect provides a 0.12% Elemental Mastery boost to the wielder and can stack up to 3 times. At the 3rd stack, the Elemental Mastery of party members increases by 0.2% of the wearer’s maximum HP. This weapon also comes with an HP% secondary stat which is tailor-made for Nilou. Freedom Sworn Another good option for Nilou is Freedom Sworn as it comes with the Elementary Mastery secondary stat. Additionally, this weapon increases the DMG of the wearer by 10%. Triggering Elemental Reactions grants a Sigil of Rebellion buff even if the character is not on the field. Once the stacks are consumed, all nearby party members gain 20% ATK and 16% Normal, Charged, and Plunging ATK DMG. This basically increases the damage you gain from the Bloom reactions, though you need a lot of HP% from artifacts to balance the stats. Nilou Talent Level-up and Ascension Materials Talent level-up materials Nilou’s talents in Genshin Impact need Teachings of Praxis, Fungal Spores, and Tears of the Calamitous God. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Where to farm Nilou’s Talent level-up materials Teachings of Praxis and its upgrades Teachings of Praxis is dropped from the Steeple of Ignorance domain in Genshin Impact. It can be found in Sumeru near Chatrakam Cave. Fungal Spores Fungal Spores are drops from the Fungus enemy in Genshin Impact. However, you must remember that to get Fungal Spores, you cannot use Electro or Pyro to defeat the enemies. Tears of the Calamitous God This item is dropped from the Raiden Shogun boss fight in Inazuma. It is unlocked as part of Raiden Shogun’s second story quest. Ascension materials Nilou’s ascension materials include Varunada Lazurite Silver, Perpetual Caliber, Fungal Sports, and Padisarah. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Where to farm Nilou ascension materials Varunada Lazurite Silver and its upgrades These are dropped from the Hydro Hypostasis boss in Genshin Impact. You will find it very close to the Sangonomiya Shrine on Watatsumi Island in Inazuma. Perpetual Caliber Perpetual Caliber is dropped by Aeonblight Drake in Sumeru. You can locate it close to Devantaka Mountain in Ardravi Valley. Padisarah This is a local specialty of Sumeru. The areas where it can be found in abundance are Vanarana, around Sumeru City, and the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Best Nilou team comp The best team for Nilou involves Nahida, Baizhu, and Kokomi. I n this team, Nahida and Baizhu help to produce the Dendro Cores. Additionally, Baizhu’s healing and Dendro shield ensures Nilou does not die from the Bountiful Cores. Kokomi helps with Hydro application and healing. If you want, you can also run a team comprised of Nilou, Nahida, Xingqiu, and Yaoyao. This team also works quite well due to Xingqiu’s powerful Hydro application. Ideally, a team with two Dendro and two Hydro units works best as there is a balance between damage and sustainability. Nilou abilities Normal Attack: Dance of Samser Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passives Nilou Constellations If you’re lucky enough to pull multiple copies of Nilou, here’s what buffs you will be granted from her Constellations: Level One – Dance of the Waning Moon: Dance of Haftkarsvar will be enhanced as follows: Luminous Illusion DMG is increased by 65%.

Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Six – Frostbreaker’s Melody: For every 1,000 points of Max HP, Nilou’s CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG will increase by 0.6% and 1.2% respectively. The maximum increase in CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG via this method is 30% and 60% respectively. – Nilou pros and cons Nilou being a niche unit, has her own strengths and weaknesses.

New Seven Deadly Sins: Origin game could be major Genshin Impact competitor – Dexerto
New Seven Deadly Sins: Origin game could be major Genshin Impact competitor NetmarbleThe Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an upcoming anime open-world game that aims to compete with Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact continues to prove incredibly popular amongst players across the globe. This is largely down to its beautiful world, colorful characters, and satisfying combat. It’s this grand scale that helps separate the game from other free-to-play mobile titles. While Genshin Impact continues to dominate the F2P market, a number of competitors have begun to emerge. The latest is The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin – an upcoming mobile and console game that’s based on The Seven Deadly Sins anime. Despite the positivity surrounding Genshin Impact, many of the game’s fans are hoping Origin will be a competitor to the free-to-play giant. Seven Deadly Sins: Origin could be a Genshin Impact competitor The trailer for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin showed off the game’s open-world environments, flashy battle system, and overworld exploration. Characters can be seen using their standard abilities and attacks to take down enemies in the overworld, then utilizing deadly ultimates to deal massive amounts of damage. Various environmental traversal techniques also appear to be present, with the player shown clambering up mountains and even swimming underwater. Certain character abilities are also used to explore unreachable areas or simply speed up travel time between areas. “It’s nice to see more and more games popping up,” explained one commenter. “Gives us a healthy rivalry in the game industry. But my personal preference stays with Genshin.” However, a number of viewers are hoping that The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin will push miHoYo to further improve Genshin Impact. “Hopefully this game gets traction so miHoYo actually fixes some things and gives some really good quality of life updates,” replied another commenter. “There’s a lot of things they can do to make the game even better.” The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is currently in development for mobile platforms, PC, and consoles. There currently is no release date, but many Genshin Impact players will eagerly be awaiting its launch.

New Genshin Impact anime video reveals idyllic scenery of Mondstadt – Dexerto
New Genshin Impact anime video reveals idyllic scenery of Mondstadt HoYoverse/Sun Creature StudioGenshin Impact has released a short anime-inspired video of Mondstadt, giving Travelers a chance to see the game’s iconic location like never before. Genshin Impact is filled with beautiful environments for players to explore. From the frosty plains of Dragonspine to the harsh deserts of Inazuma, there are plenty of locations that Travelers will need to venture through on their quests through Teyvat. However, one of the most iconic and beautiful is that of Mondstadt – the game’s starting area and central hub for the Knights of Favonius. Not only is it home to the Anemo Archon, Venti, but the region is filled with lush green fields and beautiful forests. In order to highlight these idyllic locations, HoYoverse has released a short animation video that sheds new light onto the world of Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact animation project revealed While the new animation project isn’t tied to the upcoming Genshin Impact anime, which is being produced by Ufotable, it does have a similar feel. The two-minute video was co-produced by HoYoverse and the award-winning Sun Creature Studio – an international animation studio, and winner of the Annie Award 2022. According to the official press release, the short animation video was an “experimental endeavor to unfold the world of Teyvat with stories and details from various perspectives.” HoYoverse has not yet revealed further plans and details about this collaboration, but we could see more anime-style videos in the future. The developers were also keen to highlight that they “aim to provide video game and anime enthusiasts with new avenues for experiencing high-quality Genshin Impact universe content.” This is extremely promising for fans of Genshin Impact’s lore, characters, and the environments shown across Teyvat. Whether HoYoverse will tackle other locations from across Inazuma and the recently released Sumeru region remains to be seen, but for now, that’s all the information we currently have. Make sure you check out our Genshin Impact page for the latest news and guides.

Awesome Genshin Impact concept could make mono elemental teams more powerful – Dexerto
Awesome Genshin Impact concept could make mono elemental teams more powerful miHoYoA Genshin Impact player who also happens to be a game designer has come up with a neat concept to make mono elemental teams more viable, and the community seems open to it. If you want to have an optimal party in Genshin Impact, you’ll need a specific combination of characters with different elements. This is because they’ll benefit from Elemental Resonance, which provides bonuses to the whole party. The way it works is simple. In order to get a specific Elemental Resonance bonus, you’ll need at least two characters who use that element. Naturally, that means you can only have two different bonuses in a party of four. It also means that mono elemental teams – that is, a party with four characters who use the same element, will always be less powerful because they only get one bonus. However, this player’s neat concept could change all that. “Picking my game-designer brain about how to theoretically make mono elemental teams more interesting and engaging,” they said. “If resonance gave you increasing bonuses like this, would you try them out?” For example, the increasing bonuses for pyro teams start off with the standard Fervent Flames Elemental Resonance. It increases ATK by 25% and makes characters less affected by Cryo by 40% when two pyro characters are at the party. However, it also includes extra bonuses for having three and four pyro characters in the party. Damage dealt by normal attacks, charged attacks, and plunging attacks is increased by 25% with three characters, and base attack is increased by 500 with four characters. There are similar bonuses for other Elemental Resonances, too, including Enduring Rock, Soothing Water, Shattering Ice, Impetuous Winds, and High Voltage. All in all, these would make mono elemental teams more viable. Genshin Impact players seemed open to the idea. Some claimed that the pyro mono elemental team seems too overpowered. Others pointed out that it’s more about the concept, not the balance. That can always be tweaked later. In the end, though, it’s some interesting food for thought and something that the developers might consider adding in the future.

Best Navia Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp – Dexerto
Best Navia Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp HoYoverseNavia is a Geo 5-star unit in Genshin Impact that received a rerun alongside version 4.8 phase 1. If you are willing to pull for Navia, here is a detailed build covering her best artifacts, weapons, and team comp. Navia is arguably one of the most stylish units in this game. Her design, story, aesthetics, and overall vibe is that of a top-tier unit and it is quite hard to ignore her even if you are the biggest free-to-play user in the world. However, she is more than just her design, as her damage output is abnormally high. She is quite possibly one of the best DPS units in the game, on par with characters like Neuvillette. Therefore, she is a must-pull unit and if you did end up getting her, building Navia properly is a necessity. Here is a detailed guide that will help you build Navia and ensure that she one-shots every enemy in the Spiral Abyss with ease. Best Navia build in Genshin Impact While this is the best build for Navia in Genshin Impact, if you are looking for alternate options or want to learn more about each component in the setup, we have discussed those in the following sections. Best Artifacts for Navia The best artifact set for Navia in Genshin Impact is Nightime Whispers. The set bonus for this artifact set has been presented below: 2-piece bonus: ATK +18% – 4-piece bonus: Gain 20% Geo DMG Bonus after using an elemental skill. If you are under a shield granted by the crystallize reaction, this effect is enhanced by 150%. This additional increase appears 1s after the shield is lost. – Therefore, it is safe to say that this artifact set has been crafted specifically for Navia. You can try using some other sets like Archaic Petra or even Marechaussee Hunter. However, Nightime Whispers is the best choice for the maximum possible damage. Best weapons for Navia Verdict Navia is an ATK scaling unit and she will benefit from any weapon that can boost the aforementioned stat. Her best weapon in the game is Verdict which has a pretty high base attack and provides CRIT Rate as a substat. Additionally, the weapon increases ATK by 20%. Once party members obtain Elemental Shards from Crystallize Reactions, the equipping character will gain 1 Seal. The wearer will also gain an 18% Elemental Skill DMG boost. This seal will last for 15 seconds, and the wearer can have 2 at once. The effect will disappear after the Elemental Skill deals damage. Wolf’s Gravestone This is the second-best weapon for Navia in Genshin Impact. While Wolf’s Gravestone does not provide any Crit buffs, the ATK boost is massive. This weapon will boost Navia’s performance significantly, while also enhancing the damage of the entire team. If you are running Xiangling in the party, the boost from Wolf’s Gravestone will enhance her damage as well which will improve the overall team output. The only downside to this weapon is that you will have to farm for really good artifacts to balance the Crit stats. Serpent Spine Serpent Spine is a viable 4-star option for Navia if you lack either of the aforementioned 5-star weapons. This weapon at Refinement 5 deals massive damage as its passive ability ensures a 100% ATK boost uptime as long as Navia does not take any damage. The damage aspect can be fixed with a Zhongli in the team. This weapon also Crit Rate substat, making it easy to build Navia. Navia Talent priority in Genshin Impact In this section, we will discuss the talent and stats you should focus on when building Navia. Talent Priority Elemental Skill – Elemental Burst – Navia’s Elemental Skill is all her damage. You need to hold it to collect the Crystals and then shoot it on the enemy. Elemental Burst helps in creating the Crystals and deals little damage. However, the Elemental Skill is mandatory for Navia. Navia Talent level-up and Ascension materials Navia Talent level-up materials In order to ascend her talents, you will require Teachings of Equity, Transoceanic Pearl, Lightless Silk String, and Crown of Insight. Where to farm Navia’s Talent materials in Genshin Impact Teachings of Equity and its upgrades Teachings of Equity and its upgrades can be farmed from the Pale Forgotten Glory domain in Fontaine. You can find it very close to the All-Devouring Narwhal boss fight. Transoceanic Pearl and its upgrades You can farm Transoceanic Pearl from Fontemer Aberrant in Fontaine. Locating this enemy is simple as you can use your Adventurer’s Handbook. Open the Handbook, go to the Enemies section, look for the Fontemer Aberrant, and click on Navigate. The game will guide you to the concerned location. Lightless Silk String Lightless Silk String is dropped by the All-Devouring Narwhal boss in Genshin Impact. You can farm it for a maximum of three times per week. Navia Ascension materials In order to ascend Navia in Genshin Impact, you will require Prithiva Topaz Silver, Spring of the First Dewdrop, Artificed Spare Clockwork Component- Coppelius, and Transoceanic Pearl. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Where to farm Navia ascension materials Prithiva Topaz Silver Prithiva Topaz Silver is dropped by the Geo Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. It is located in Guyun Stone Forest in Liyue. Artificed Spare Clockwork Component- Coppelius This is an item that is dropped by the Icewind Suite world boss. You will find it near Opera Epiclese in Fontaine. Spring of First Dewdrop Spring of FIrst Dew Drop can be found around the Morte region in Fontaine. The locations where it can be found in abundance have been marked in the image above. Best team comp for Navia Navia is a hyper-carry, which means she relies on units that will assist her in battle. The best units to pair alongside Navia are Albedo, Xiangling, and Bennett. In this team, Xiangling and Bennett will enhance the overall output of the team, while Albedo will create even more crystals for Navia to collect. However, if not Albedo, you can also run Navia alongside Zhongli or Ningguang. It is also possible to run Yelan in place of a second Geo character, but Xiangling and Bennett are kind of mandatory for Navia. Navia abilities Normal Attack- Blunt Refusal Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passives Constellations for Navia Level One – A Lady’s Rules for Keeping a Courteous Distance: Each charge of Crystal Shrapnel consumed when Navia uses Ceremonial Crystalshot will restore 3 Energy to her and decrease the CD of As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute by 1s. Up to 9 Energy can be gained this way, and the CD of “As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute” can be decreased by up to 3s. – Level Two – The President’s Pursuit of Victory: The CRIT Rate of Ceremonial Crystalshot is increased by 12% for each charge of Crystal Shrapnel consumed. CRIT Rate can be increased by up to 36% in this way. In addition, when Ceremonial Crystalshot hits an opponent, one shot of Fire Support from As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute will strike near the location of the hit. Up to one instance of Fire Support can be triggered each time Ceremonial Crystalshot is used, and DMG dealt by Fire Support in this way is considered Elemental Burst DMG. – Level Three – Businesswoman’s Broad Vision: Increases the Level of Ceremonial Crystalshot by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Four – The Oathsworn Never Capitulate: When As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute hits an opponent, that opponent’s Geo RES will be decreased by 20% for 8s. – Level Five – Negotiator’s Resolute Negotiations: Increases the Level of As the Sunlit Sky’s Singing Salute by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Six – The Flexible Finesse of the Spina’s President: If more than 3 charges of Crystal Shrapnel are consumed when using Ceremonial Crystalshot, each charge consumed beyond the first 3 increases the CRIT DMG of that Ceremonial Crystalshot by 45%, and any charges consumed beyond the first 3 are returned to Navia. – Navia pros and cons The pros and cons of Navia are as follows: Should you pull for Navia? Yes, Navia is totally worth pulling in Genshin Impact. She is quite possibly the best Geo character in the game. Her damage output is insane and she is the only unit who can utilize the Crystallize reaction. Navia is stylish, has beautiful animations, and can shut down enemies very fast. In fact, her damage is not very far from Neuvillette. She can also work in a wide range of teams as it is very easy to proc the Crystallize reaction and that is all she needs. The only downside to Navia is her range as her E ability is basically a shotgun. If you are not close enough, some of the Geo pellets will miss and you will lose out on damage. However, that can be solved with Zhongli in your team. Trailer for Navia On December 19, 2023, HoYoverse released an official trailer for Navia in Genshin Impact. If you have not watched it yet, you can check it out from the link provided below: That’s everything you need to know about Navia’s build in Genshin Impact!

Here’s what we know about her lore, abilities, and release date as the 3.2 update approaches. Genshin Impact’s Version 3.2 update is just around the corner, and HoYoverse has given players a closer look at some of the characters being introduced in the update. One of them is Nahida, who like all the other Archons will soon be playable in Genshin Impact. She will play a big part in the game’s Sumeru story as the Dendro Archon, and details are slowly coming through about her backstory and abilities. Here’s what we know about Nahida in Genshin Impact. Contents Who is Nahida in Genshin Impact? Dendro Archon lore Nahida is known as the Dendro Archon in Genshin Impact. Don’t let her pint-sized model fool you though — she’s one of Sumeru’s finest and she’s going to pack a punch for sure. According to official character information released on Genshin Impact’s Twitter, Nahida is a Physic of Purity and is known as the Lesser Lord Kusanali who dwells deep in the Sanctuary of Surasthana. She has never been in the limelight nor mentioned much. Players also know that she is the leader of a civilization that puts great emphasis on knowledge and wisdom above all else. You can find official details and artwork of Nahida below: Nahida abilities speculation in Genshin Impact Recent footage has been shared by reliable community leaker Genshin Mains detailing a couple of Nahida’s abilities.

Nahida banner in Genshin Impact breaks records a day after release – Dexerto
Nahida banner in Genshin Impact breaks records a day after release HoYoverseNahida has launched in Genshin Impact, with the Dendro Archon attracting much fanfare. It’s the biggest launch in the game’s history, with her banner breaking records on the first day of release. Nahida’s arrival in Genshin Impact has been long-awaited, and players are opening their wallets for the Dendro Archon. If Sumeru was much-anticipated, then hype for Nahida was off the charts. She’s living up to that hype too in the aftermath of Version 3.2’s launch, immediately breaking sales records in the hit RPG. Nahida’s banner, which includes the Yoimiya rerun, has grossed $5.1 million in revenue within 24 hours in the Chinese iOS market according to GenshinLab, making it the biggest launch in the game’s history. The Venti rerun banner in March 2021 is the only other one to open with more than $5 million in sales in one day. While neither holds the record for the biggest single-day sale — that’s still held by Raiden Shogun’s launch — it’s possible Nahida’s banner blasts through that record too. It also shows a wider trend in Genshin Impact sales where rerun banners dominate the sales chart. Since HoYoverse pivoted into including two five-star banners, they have mostly seen incredible success, especially when pairing a new release with an old favorite. Ayato’s launch with Venti is the game’s third most popular banner at opening with $4.8 million in sales, while Yelan also received a similar reception alongside Xiao with $4.2 million. The best-performing dual rerun banner on day one is Kazuha and Klee’s July 2022 rerun, with the Anemo Sword user getting plenty of interest after becoming a meta-defining character. There’s a long way to go before Nahida’s banner breaks the complete record of $35.9 million set by Ayaka’s rerun in April 2022, but if anyone can do it, it’ll be the Dendro Archon.

Mualani is the first 5-star Natlan unit in Genshin Impact, released alongside version 5.0 and she has instantly proved to be strong. Her damage output is exceptionally high and she is probably the best Vaporize unit in the gacha game. However, her only issue right now is that she feels a bit clunky. She does not have proper units to pair with and none of the current roster synergizes with Mualani. Even then, she is worth pulling due to her damage and potential to grow in the future.

Mtashed warns Genshin Impact players thinking of pulling Yae Miko’s new weapon – Dexerto
Mtashed warns Genshin Impact players thinking of pulling Yae Miko’s new weapon YouTube: Mtashed / Genshin ImpactYouTuber Mtashed warned Genshin Impact players that Yae Miko’s new weapon Kagura’s Verity is “worse” than people think. The Gacha content creator explains why the Catalyst will not work for most characters. After months of anticipation, Yae Miko is finally making her banner debut with the release of Genshin Impact’s version 2.5 update. Launching alongside the Inazuma hero is her new 5-star weapon Kagura’s Verity. The catalyst’s incredible stats have had some fans believing it could be the next Staff of Homa for elemental users. Genshin YouTuber Mtashed is warning fans that the item may not be as good as it looks on the surface. YouTuber warns Genshin Impact players about Yae Miko’s new weapon On paper, the new 5-star Catalyst Kagura’s Verity looks to pack a punch with its CRIT DMG bonus and high Base ATK stats. According to Genshin pro Mtashed, though, the weapon has a flawed gimmick. “Gain the Kagura Dance effect every time you use your elemental skill. So if you only got one elemental skill you can use, such as a character like Barbara who has one use and high cooldown, she would NEVER be able to get enough value out of this weapon to really make it worth it,” he said. “If you can’t get this bonus, you are missing out on a pretty big chunk of damage!” Read More: Best Yae Miko Genshin Impact build – The YouTuber explained that most elemental skills have cooldowns that interfere with the DMG bonus. “When you are using your elemental skill, you’re getting increased damage. So if it isn’t some kind of turret that keeps doing damage, or you have four uses of your skill, you’re going to stack up three times and then you aren’t going to get that damage value if you are now on cooldown.” He then warned players that the weapon doesn’t fully work for most characters. “An example of this is Sucrose. Until C1, she only gets one use of her E ability. After that, you get two, cool. But then you are on cooldown. So you can’t keep dishing out damage with your elemental skill. Which character can even take advantage of this? Klee, but not really? Lisa? Not at all! This weapon is made for Yae Miko and Yae Miko only at its current state.” Unlike other heroes, Yae Miko can throw out three turret-like rods that continuously dish out damage, which takes advantage of Kagura’s Verity’s unique stat boost. Read More: Genshin Impact Yae Miko web event details – The Genshin Impact YouTuber continued, “Mona, Ningguang, are not gonna be great with it. Lisa, absolutely not gonna happen. This is one of the most niche weapons we’ve ever got. It’s got great damage. But this is one of the most heavy investment weapons in the game. Because it’s not going to be used on many other characters. So I want you to be careful.” Despite his concerns, Mtashed clarified that he does think the 5-star weapon is incredible and is Yae Miko’s best Catalyst. But he just wanted to warn users that its design makes it have very limited use. As far as weapons that could be used instead, the YouTuber said the Skyward Atlas and The Widsith are good replacements.

Mtashed on why Genshin Impact players need to save Primogems for Raiden Shogun banner – Dexerto
Mtashed on why Genshin Impact players need to save Primogems for Raiden Shogun banner HoYoverseThe Raiden Shogun banner will return in Genshin Impact and Mtashed has revealed why Travelers should roll on her upcoming rerun. Genshin Impact recently announced that the Raiden Shogun banner will be released in the 2.5 update, giving players another chance to add the Electro Archon to their team. While the Kokomi banner is also getting a rerun, Mtashed believes that Travelers should save their Primogems for Raiden Shogun. While many fans and content creators were originally skeptical about the 5-star Electro unit, Raiden Shogun has quickly risen through the ranks. In fact, she is one of the best characters in Genshin Impact and has been consistently used in a variety of teams. Genshin Impact Raiden Shogun banner Popular Genshin Impact streamer, Mtashed, has revealed why Travelers should save their Primogems for the Raiden Shogun banner rerun. “This one is juicy. Because, if you get Constellations for Kujou Sara, she can be pretty nuts when paired with Raiden Shogun. Then it has Bennett, who is literally the best character in the game,” explained Mtashed.

Best Mona Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Mona Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoMona is one of the more flexible Hydro characters in Genshin Impact with great uses as a Main DPS or a support. She can apply plenty of Hydro on field for big reactions, and dish out the pain with her own attacks when built right. Follow our guide to the best Mona builds with top artifacts and weapons to see for yourself. Mona is a five-star Hydro Catalyst character that can be played as either a high-damage support or the star of the show as a Main DPS. With plenty of ticking Hydro applications with her Skill and Burst, she is the master of big elemental reactions like Vaporize or Electro-Charged. If you want to make Mona the star of your Genshin Impact team, we’ve got the ultimate guide to her with the best build, artifacts, weapons, and more. Contents Mona abilities – Mona constellations – Best Mona artifacts – Best Mona weapons – Mona Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Mona trailer – Best Mona team comp – Mona abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Ripple of Fate Normal Attack: Mona performs up to 4 water splash attacks that deal Hydro DMG. – Charged Attack: Mona consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Hydro DMG after a short casting time. – Plunging Attack: Gathering the might of Hydro, Mona plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground. – Mona’s attacks have an AOE splash to them, which makes her synergize really well with Anemo characters who can group enemies up. Performing two normal attacks into a charged attack to cancel the longer animation is the best way to maximize her DPS too. This is prefaced with the fact that Mona can be played as a Burst Support or a Main DPS — and this guide will primarily focus on the latter — so be sure to make use of her combos while she’s on-field. Alternate Sprint: Illusory Torrent Mona is one of two characters currently with an Alternate Sprint in Genshin Impact along with Ayaka. The sprint allows her to move on water at high speed, as well as apply Hydro onto nearby enemies when she stops her sprint. Elemental Skill: Mirror Reflection of Doom Mona creates an illusory Phantom of Fate from coalesced waterspouts, which can taunt nearby enemies and splash out Hydro DMG to boot. It will explode on expiry as well. If you can attract opponents to an illusion before drawing them further together with an Anemo character, you can then do more damage with her basic attacks. Elemental Burst: Stellaris Phantasm Mona summons the sparkling waves and creates a reflection of the starry sky, applying the Illusory Bubble status to opponents in a large AoE. This traps smaller enemies and applies an Omen to opponents, which makes them vulnerable to the next attack. When playing with Pyro characters like Bennett, who can apply Vaporize, it’s important to wait a couple of seconds before bursting the bubble so you can maximize the damage. This is because of the internal cooldown of the reaction, meaning you can double up on damage if you wait. Mona constellations Lucky enough to find multiple copies of Mona in your wishes? You’ve got some nice constellations to look forward to. Level 1 — Prophecy of Submersion: When any of your own party members hits an opponent affected by an Omen, the effects of Hydro-related Elemental Reactions are enhanced for eight seconds: Electro-Charged DMG increases by 15%. – Vaporize DMG increases by 15%. – Hydro Swirl DMG increases by 15%. – Frozen duration is extended by 15%. – – Level 2 — Lunar Chain: When a Normal Attack hits, there is a 20% chance that it will be automatically followed by a Charged Attack. This effect can only occur once every five seconds. – Level 3 — Restless Revolution: Increases the Level of Stellaris Phantasm by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Prophecy of Oblivion: When any party member attacks an opponent affected by an Omen, their CRIT Rate is increased by 15%. – Level 5 — Mockery of Fortuna: Increases the Level of Mirror Reflection of Doom by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Rhetorics of Calamitas: Upon entering Illusory Torrent, Mona gains a 60% increase to the DMG of her next Charged Attack per second of movement. A maximum DMG Bonus of 180% can be achieved in this manner. The effect lasts for no more than eight seconds. – Best Mona artifacts in Genshin Impact Mona being a Hydro character obviously benefits a lot from the Heart of Depth set. The Hydro DMG bonus is obviously the big draw card, but the Normal and Charged attack damage buff after using her skill means she’s hitting big numbers constantly. You can substitute this for the 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate or the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige set. Best Mona weapons in Genshin Impact If you’re running Mona as a Main DPS, you want to maximize her attack. The best pick for that is Skyward Atlas with its ATK% boost, but it also buffs her Elemental DMG and Normal attacks — which is key for keeping the damage high. It only gets stronger with more refinements too. Its only downfall is the lack of CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds solves some of those problems, but can be hard to maximize the effect due to how long it requires Mona to be on field. Memory of Dust is also a solid option but doesn’t really hold a candle to Skyward Atlas. For support, you want to look at running Widsith because of the auras, or Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. Here’s a list of Mona’s best weapons in Genshin Impact. Mona Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Hailing from Mondstadt, Mona requires a few materials from her home region. This includes Philameno Mushrooms, which are found on buildings across the city center and other residential areas in Mondstadt. Whopperflower Nectar is also needed, which can be found by killing (unsurprisingly) Whopperflowers. She also needs the legendary Ring of Boreas material for her Talent Level-Up from Andrius, the wolf boss in Wolvendom. However, you’ll need to travel into Liyue to farm Cleansing Hearts from the Oceanid boss. Here’s a full list of Mona’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials to max her out. Mona Talent Level-Up Materials Mona Ascension Materials Mona trailer in Genshin Impact Mona’s trailer in Genshin Impact, named Stellaris Phantasm after her Burst, highlights the astrologer’s lore in Genshin Impact and dives into some of her best combos. Players also get to learn a bit more about Mona by playing through the game’s story with a chapter dedicated to her during the Mondstadt journey. Best Mona team comp As we mentioned near the start, Mona synergizes really well with Anemo supports that can group together enemies for her to deal out massive DPS. Sucrose or Venti works best, but any Anemo character that has grouping crowd control can be a fine substitute. You should combine Mona with Ganyu for the Freeze application, in addition to having Diona as a support character. There are plenty of comps to run with Mona, though. It’s best to look at what other characters you have built and make the call depending on who is strongest.

miHoYo cracks down on Genshin Impact leaks, sending dataminers into exile – Dexerto
miHoYo cracks down on Genshin Impact leaks, sending dataminers into exile miHoYoGenshin Impact leakers like Honey, ImpactYoimiya, abc64, and WangshengFP have been forced into exile as miHoYo starts a massive crackdown on dataminers. The developers have sent legal threats and cease and desist letters to stop the flow of leaks. Genshin Impact leaks are popular, to say the least. Dataminers are always racing to try and grab the latest information before miHoYo like upcoming banners, characters, and the newest regions of Teyvat. There is a flip side to the coin of getting all the information early though. The first is that, for some, it ruins the surprise of a big update. The second is it can sometimes lead to problems for miHoYo, the game’s developers. While there are beta versions that are commonly datamined, miHoYo draws a hard line at “developer kits” — unreleased versions of Genshin Impact only the devs should see. However, they’re now taking action to try and stop as many prominent leakers as possible, with a handful of big accounts going offline in the last week. Abc64 and ImpactYoimiya, two prominent leakers, both had their Twitter accounts deleted. Suspicion is because of copyright claims made by miHoYo, forcing them into exile. Reacting to that change, WangshengFP announced they would be stopping their own leaks temporarily. “With everything that’s happened, we’ve made the decision to pause posting any leaks content until further notice. Thanks for understanding, and we also hope that this issue will be resolved soon,” they said on Twitter. Hello, everyone! With everything that’s happened in the past 2 days, we’ve made the decision to pause posting any leaks content until further notice. Thanks for understanding, and we also hope that this issue will be resolved soon. — WFP (@WangshengFP) September 10, 2021 The biggest ‘leaker’ caught up in the crackdown is Honey. The website is a popular database for all things Genshin Impact, including unreleased tidbits of lore and a look into the future. miHoYo sent the site operators a cease and desist letter on September 10, giving Honey 24 hours to shut down their site. “[We] hereby report an abuse case, relating IP infringement and phasing, on a website with a domain name registered under your service,” the letter from miHoYo’s lawyers read. Okay, so @Genshin_Impact is trying to take us down behind our backs.https://t.co/Y2iqlc7Zeq I am taking down the website within 24 hours. Stay tuned for further notice. — Honey (@HoneyDodogama) September 10, 2021 “The infringement website aforementioned contains and displays openly the confidential statistics and copyrighted works of our game package as well as materials that have not even been published by us yet.” Read More: What we know about Genshin Impact patch 2.2 – Honey resisted, instead migrating their servers to a different platform to try and avoid miHoYo — while keeping the site live. They are holding out for now, but there are concerns the site could be shut down in the near future, losing a valuable resource to the Genshin Impact community. While leaks for the upcoming Genshin Impact patch 2.2 are still flowing thanks to dataminers like Dimbreath, things might be getting slower in future updates.

Melusine in Genshin Impact: Everything we know so far? – Dexerto
Melusine in Genshin Impact: Everything we know so far? HoYoverseMelusine is a mysterious creature from Fontaine that was first showcased in the Genshin Impact version 3.8 livestream. As a result, players are eager to know who she is and what role she plays. Ever since the version 3.8 livestream for Genshin Impact, HoYoverse has been relentless with their Fontaine reveals. They have provided a look into the city, the characters, the primary antagonist as well as underwater gameplay. Alongside all these, they also provided a look into Melusine within the game. She is a small pink-colored creature who was shown roaming the streets of Fontaine fearlessly. As expected, this creature caught the attention of every player. Here is what we know so far about this character. Who is Melusine in Genshin Impact? There is very little information available about Melusine in Genshin Impact. However, from the little teaser we got, it seems she is linked in some way to the law and order of Fontaine. The narrator clearly states that Melusine has a strong sense of justice and she tries to maintain it within the nation. She patrols the city and ensures that she keeps an eye on everyone. If anyone acts suspiciously, Melusine tracks their movements to ensure that they are not committing any crimes that affect Fontaine. Is Melusine playable in Genshin Impact? As of now, it is tough to say whether Melusine will be playable or not. However, there are no leaks about the character, and we could find any vision on her either in the trailer. Therefore, in all probability, Melusine will not be playable in the game. She will probably function similarly to the Aranara from Sumeru. This completes our guide for Melusine in Genshin Impact.

If you’re eager to learn about the early developments surrounding Mavuika, we have you covered.

However, leaks suggest she will be playable in version 5.2, which is expected to be released somewhere around November 2024. Mavuika element and weapon Mavuika is expected to be a Pyro unit in Genshin Impact like Diluc. Additionally, she is expected to be a Claymore user similar to Navia. Abilities Here is what leaks have to say about Mavuika’s abilities in Genshin Impact: She can assist Hydro characters and ATK-based bonus characters – Her E ability is similar to Raiden and can deal coordinated attacks to the enemy – She has a constellation that will enable the Nightsoul status which will increase the number of characters in the team. The way this works is, that if the team has 2 Natlan characters, this Constellation will see the team as having 3 Natlan units. – For more on Genshin Impact, check out our guides on banners and codes.

Lyney is a 5-star Pyro DPS in Genshin Impact. He is a charged bow character with an interesting passive: his damage increases on enemies affected by Pyro in the game. This, in turn, increases Lyney’s damage by several folds, and once you build him properly, he can be on par with other DPS like Yoimiya. The only issue is that the Pyro application does not work on every enemy, and the game currently lacks a Hydro character who can synergize with Lyney. Lydney appears alongside Arlecchino on banners during phase 1 of the version 4.6 update. You can pull for Lyney and Arlecchino from April 24, 2024, to May 14, 2024.

Elemental Skill- Bewildering Light Lyney does a flourish with his hat, unleashing a firework surprise. When used, he will clear all current Prop Surplus stacks and deal AoE Pyro DMG to opponents in front of him. DMG will be increased according to the stacks cleared, and this will also regenerate Lyney’s HP based on his Max HP. Elemental Burst- Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade Lyney turns himself into a Grin-Malkin cat that can move around quickly. When the cat gets close to opponents, it will send flames falling down on them, dealing at most 1 instance of Pyro DMG to each opponent. When the duration ends or Lyney uses his Elemental Skill, he will dimiss the cat and ignite fireworks that deal AoE Pyro DMG, summon 1 Grin-Malkin hat, and grant himself 1 prop surplus stat.

The set bonus for this artifact set has been provided below: 2-piece bonus: Normal and Charged Attack DMG + 15% 4-piece bonus: CRIT Rate is increased by 12% for 5 seconds, whenever the current HP increases or decreases. This effect can stack up to 3 times. Alternatively, you could run the 4-piece Vermillion Hereafter set on Lyney, which requires him to use his Elemental Burst before attacking.

Best Lyney Weapons in Genshin Impact The best weapon for Lyney in Genshin Impact is 5-star bow, The First Great Magic. This weapon increases DMG dealt by Charged attacks by 16%. Now, if every party member has the same elemental type as the wielder, then they will gain 1 Gimmick stack. However, if every party member has a different elemental type, then the wielder will gain 1 Theatrics stack. If the wielder has 1/2/3 Gimmick stacks, ATK is increased by 16%/32%/48%. If the wielder has 1/2/3 Theatrics stacks, Movement SPD is increased by 4%/7%/10%. This weapon also provides CRIT Damage as a secondary stat. This weapon can only be obtained from the weapon banner whenever it becomes available. However, if you want an alternate option, then Yelan’s best-in-slot weapon, Aqua Simulacra is an exceptional option for Lyney. Lastly, in terms of a 4-star option, Scion of the Blazing Sun. This weapon provides CRIT Rate through its secondary stat. This weapon is quite unique as after an opponent gets hit by a Charged Attack, the enemy will be hit by a Sunfire Arrow that deals 60% ATK as DMG and also inflict them with Heartsearer. This effect means the opponent will take 28% more Charged Attack Damage from the wielder. This weapon is part of the Battle Pass and can be unlocked by reaching level 30. Lyney Talent Level-up and Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact Lyney is a character from Fontaine, which means his ascension materials can be obtained from the brand-new location. The two major items that Lyney needs are Emperor’s Resolution and Rainbow Rose. Emperor’s Resolution can be obtained from the boss Emperor of Fire and Iron. Rainbow Rose is a local specialty of Fontaine and can be found by exploring the map of the region. The Ascension materials across every level have been presented in the following table. Ascension Materials for Lyney Talent Level-up Materials for Lyney Best Lyney Team Comp in Genshin Impact Lyney is a DPS unit and he needs partners who can enhance it.

You can also replace Surcrose with Kazuha as he will perform a similar sort of role, but a lot better. Lastly, the Anemo units can be substituted with Zhongli if you feel that it is difficult to stay alive during fights. It is also possible to replace Xiangling with Dehya as she can stop any form of interruptions for Lyney during his DPS phase.

LoL star celebrated Worlds win by feeding $7k into Genshin Impact wishes – Dexerto
LoL star celebrated Worlds win by feeding $7k into Genshin Impact wishes David Lee for Riot Games / MiHoYoImagine just winning the League of Legends World Championship. How would you want to spend your time? Well, if you’re DAMWON Gaming’s Cho ‘BeryL’ Geon-hee, it’s on Genshin Impact — dropping nearly $7,000 on wishes to celebrate the victory. Look, we’ve all looked at the wish screen in Genshin Impact and tried to justify that next roll. Maybe this time you’d land on Jean or Diluc, and you’d finally hit that power spike to keep progressing deeper into the story. It can get pretty expensive at the end of the day. There’s plenty of stories of Twitch streamers dropping thousands into Genshin Impact, and while they might have gotten the waifu they wanted, it wasn’t worth the cost. However, after winning LoL Worlds 2020, one star thought it was a good time to drop his prize money in celebration in Genshin Impact. DAMWON Gaming support star Cho ‘BeryL’ Geon-hee reportedly spent over 7.7 million Korean Won ($6,880 USD) on Genshin Impact in the lead-up to, and after winning, the World Championship. The Korean squad took down China’s final hope, Suning Gaming, in a 3-1 Worlds thriller in Shanghai on November 1. https://twitter.com/hkbr9/status/1322596385624006661 BeryL’s money is going to good use. Unlike his teammates, who have been streaming and playing League of Legends after winning Worlds, he’s been on the hard grind in Mondstatd and beyond with Genshin. It’s not clear what BeryL rolled off the back of these wishes though. He does already have Diluc, Qiqi, Fischl, and Vista in his squad, which is about as good as you could ask for. One could only imagine with nearly $7,000 of wishes how deep into his constellations he is now. He’s not only been spending money on Genshin Impact either. Apparently he’s also been on the Princess Connect Re:Dive hype train. He posted in a community forum just minutes after winning the World Championship — probably before contacting anyone else! Meanwhile, BeryL of @DamwonGaming, only a few minutes after winning #Worlds2020, found time to drop by Princess Connect Re:Dive fan community and post: “”Kyaru Gallery, fighting!”” BeryL, never change.https://t.co/a0wF8X7YWv — Ashley Kang (@AshleyKang) October 31, 2020 There’s no confirmed prize pool for the League of Legends World Championship, but given numbers in previous years, BeryL’s DAMWON could have received upwards of $1 million. Split that between the five players, and that’s a lot of Genshin Impact wishes, or other gacha-related purchases. It’s his money, and if that’s how he wants to celebrate lifting the Summoner’s Cup, then BeryL has earned it.

LilyPichu reveals how she became Sayu’s voice actor in Genshin Impact – Dexerto
LilyPichu reveals how she became Sayu’s voice actor in Genshin Impact Instagram: @lilypichu / miHoYoTwitch streamer LilyPichu opened up about how she landed her voice acting role in miHoYo’s Genshin Impact. The OfflineTV star revealed the process behind voicing Sayu in the popular gacha game. When Sayu made her debut in the Tapestry of Flames banner, Genshin Impact players were surprised when it was revealed that the adorable Mujina Ninja is voiced by popular Twitch streamer Lily ‘LilyPichu‘ Ki. During the October 15 OfflineTV podcast, the 29-year-old opened up to host Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang about how she came to work on the popular free-to-play title. LilyPichu reveals Genshin Impact hiring process According to the streamer, miHoYo didn’t reach out to her for the job because of her popularity on Twitch. Instead, LilyPichu scored the voice-acting gig after auditioning for it. “You just get auditions. And I was like, okay, I’ll audition for this one. I freelance for Atlus right now. They sometimes give me auditions and Genshin was one of those,” she explained. When asked if the developer knew about her career as a streamer she said, “N0, it’s not LilyPichu they contact. They just send the audition call out to people. So I’m like one of many people. So I got it and I’m like, ‘ah [Sayu] looks so cute, I’ll do it.’ Then I got the callback and I was like ‘Oh my God, this is so exciting!’” Unlike past acting gigs, Lily revealed that she got the role right away: “Sometimes there are audition rounds. But for this one, they just said “no, you got it,” and I’m like ‘WOW I did it!’ …The casting director is the one who picks it. So they’ll listen to every single audition and they’ll pick the one they like the best.” (Topic starts at 11:56) During the hour-long podcast, LilyPichu also revealed that Genshin Impact voice actors have their own private Discord. “Genshin voice actors have a Discord server and they schedule monthly Among Us and stuff. And when I got casted, I was invited. And I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so exciting! I’m a part of the cool kids club at the cafeteria.’” Hilariously, the Twitch star said her explosion in popularity playing the multiplayer had the group thinking she was really good at it. “Really cool because I play the game, and I got to meet like all people who voice the characters. They are all very funny, nice and lively. They all thought I was a god at Among Us, but I don’t know why.” As far as who was the best Among Us player out of the Genshin Impact voice actors group? “Actually, Venti’s voice actor, Erika Harlacher, I remember impressed me. She’s actually really f**king good,” she said.

When a character protected by this shield uses an Elemental Skill, 2 Night Stars will be created. Night Stars can be created once every 0.3s in this way. A maximum of 4 Night Stars can be accumulated at any one time. Once the Curtain of Slumber has accumulated 4 Night Stars and there are opponents nearby, these Night Stars will transform into homing Shooting Stars that will be fired off in sequence, dealing Cryo DMG to any opponents hit. If the Curtain of Slumber’s duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends. New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely. Elemental Burst: Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker Unleashes a Celestial Dreamsphere that constantly fires Starlight Slugs at opponents within its AoE, dealing Cryo DMG. When a Starlight Slug hits, it will generate 1 Night Star for nearby Curtains of Slumber. Each Curtain of Slumber can gain 1 Night Star this way every 0.5s. Passive Talents Shadowy Dream-Signs: When Layla crafts Character Talent Materials, she has a 10% chance to receive double the product. – Like Nascent Light: While the Curtain of Slumber is active, the Deep Sleep effect will activate each time the curtain gains 1 star: The shield strength of a character under the effect of the curtain of slumber increases by 6% – This effect can have a maximum of 4 stacks and persists until the curtain of slumber disappears. – – Sweet Slumber Undisturbed: The DMG dealt by the shooting stars fired by Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 1.5% of Layla’s max HP. – Layla Constellations Level One – Fortress of Fantasy: The Shield Absorption of the Curtain of Slumber generated by Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 20%. Additionally, when unleashing Nights of Formal Focus, she will generate a shield for any nearby party members who are not being protected by a Curtain of Slumber.

Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Four – Starry Illumination: When Nights of Formal Focus starts to fire off Shooting Stars, it will grant all nearby party members the Dawn Star effect, causing their Normal and Charged Attack DMG to increase based on 5% of Layla’s Max HP. Dawn Star can last up to 3s and will be removed 0.05s after dealing Normal or Charged Attack DMG. – Level Five – Stream of Consciousness: Increases the Level of Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker by 3.

Here’s everything we know about Kuki Shinobu’s release date and abilities. The Genshin Impact 2.7 live stream has revealed a number of details about Kuki Shinobu – a new character that will be playable in the upcoming update. She is the Deputy Leader of the Arataki Gang and a close acquaintance of Arataki Itto, the game’s Geo 5-star character. While many Genshin Impact players will be saving their Primogems for the upcoming release of Yelan as well as the banner rerun for Xiao, the four-star rated Electro-Healer should be an easy pull to expand your arsenal of characters. Whether you’re aiming to add this upcoming 4-star to your Genshin Impact roster or just wish to know more about her, then our Kuki Shinobu release date hub has you covered. Contents Kuki Shinobu release date in Genshin Impact – Kuki Shinobu Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst – Kuki Shinobu Constellations – Kuki Shinobu story in Genshin Impact – Kuki Shinobu gameplay reveal – Kuki Shinobu release date in Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu ‧ Mender of Tribulations Deputy Leader of the Arataki Gang#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/2TtwpiDo8T — Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) March 28, 2022 Kuki Shinobu has been confirmed by HoYoverse to be releasing in the 2.7 update, which arrives on May 31, 2022. As speculated earlier, the upcoming 4-star rated character will be available in the second half of update 2.7, following directly after Yelan. Read More: Genshin Impact pick rates – Given that Kuki Shinobu is a sidekick of Arataki Itto, the character will be released alongside the five-star rated claymore-wielding Geo character in the Oni’s Royale banner. However, it remains to be seen which two other characters receive a boosted drop rate from this banner. Kuki Shinobu Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst Here’s what you need to know about Kuki Shinobu’s Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill: Elemental Burst – Goei Narukami Kariyama Rite Kuki stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a barrier than cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous Electro DMG to opponents within its AoE based on Shinobu’s Max HP. If Shinobu’s HP is less than or equal to 50% when this skill is used, the barrier will last longer. This was originally a technique used in weeding and in ritual prayers for the yearly harvest, but Shinobu has not forgotten it, though her life as a shrine maiden may have ended. Elemental Skill – Sanctifying Ring Kuki creates a Grass Ring of Sanctification at the cost of part of her HP, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents. Grass Ring of Sanctification follows the currently active character around. Deals Electro DMG to nearby opponents every 1.5s and restores HP for the active character based on Kuki Shinobu’s Max HP. The HP consumption from using this skill can only bring her to 20% HP. Kuki Shinobu Constellations Constellations for Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact are: Level 1 — Goei Narukami Kariyama Rite’s AoE is increased by 50%. – Level 2 — Grass Ring Sanctifications duration is increased by 3s. – Level 3 — +3 to Elemental skill – Level 4 — When the Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks of characters affected by Shinobu’s Grass Ring of Sanctification hit opponents, a Thundergrass Mark will land on the opponent’s position and deal AoE Electro DMG based on 9.7% of Shinobu’s Max HP. This effect can occur once every 5s. – Level 5 — +3 to Elemental burst. – Level 6 — When Kuki Shinobu’s HP drops to 25% or below, or when she takes lethal DMG: Shinobu will not fall as a result of the DMG sustained this time. She will gain 150 Elemental Mastery for 15s. This effect will automatically activate when her HP reaches 1. This effect is triggered once every 60s. – Kuki Shinobu story in Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu’s story quest remains a mystery, but we do know that she is Arataki Itto’s sidekick and the Deputy of the Arataki Gang. Snippets of in-game text state that the Electro character is responsible for keeping Itto’s antics in check. However, the official live stream for Genshin Impact 2.7 has confirmed that there will be a Hangout quest for the character, giving players a chance to get to know her better. She is even said to compensate those impacted by Itto’s actions and is known to bail him out of jail. Sayu notes that Kuki Shinobu is Itto’s “little sidekick”, stating that “birds of a feather flock together”. On June 16, MiHoYo released promotional materials that gave insight into Shinobu’s character. Apparently, Shinobu acts as the low-key member of the Arataki Gang, who looks after the other members and bails them out of trouble “no matter what sort of mess the others have gotten themselves into.” Shinobu works to solve those problems “in a manner that is both professional and highly efficient.” However, it seems that Shinobu also has a soft side, as she has often times been seen “making some snacks for children who have had theirs snatched away” or served as an advocate for fellow gang members who’ve been apprehended and sent to prison. Kuki Shinobu gameplay reveal The official HoYoverse Livestream has confirmed that Kuki Shinobu is an Electro character. This means she will likely have great synergy with Yelan – an upcoming 5-star Hydro character. MiHoYo released an official Character Demo trailer on June 16, showcasing Kuki Shinobu in action. In the trailer, fans can see Kuki Shinobu interacting with NPCs, exploring environments, and entering combat. The demo also showed off Shinobu’s normal attack: Shinobu’s Shadowsword, which consists of up to 4 rapid strikes. Shinobu can also perform a Charged Attack that consumed Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strokes. Shinobu also used her Elemental Skill, Sanctifying Ring, which deals Electro damage to foes while restoring HP to the character inside the ring. Read More: The Chasm fully revealed in Genshin Impact – Aside from gameplay, Shinobu narrates the trailer, giving some background to her character and responsibilities as the deputy leader of the Arataki Gang. After the official reveal, we can also confirm that Kuki is going to be an Electro-Healer in Genshin Impact. The character uses her Elemental Burst to deal AoE damage to multiple enemies at the same time as well as heal herself and her allies.

Best Kokomi Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Kokomi Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoSangonomiya Kokomi is one of the best healers in Genshin Impact, but what are the best Artifacts, weapons, and team comps you should be using? As the leader of Genshin Impact’s Sangonomiya Resistance, Kokomi is well-versed in the art of war. In fact, the 5-star Hydro Catalyst is highly revered for her ability to keep her allies safe from harm’s way, providing them with game-changing heals that can turn the tide of even the fiercest of fights. The Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island is no stranger to conflict, and she will stop at nothing to oppose Baal’s Vision Hunt Decree. Whether you’re running Kokomi as your main DPS or high-damage support, you’ll want to kit her out with the game’s best Artifacts and weapons. Contents Kokomi abilities – Kokomi Constellations – Best Kokomi Artifacts – Best Kokomi weapon in Genshin Impact – Kokomi Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Best Kokomi team comp – Kokomi abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: The Shape of Water Normal Attack: Kokomi performs three consecutive ranged attacks that take on the form of fish, dealing Hydro DMG to any foes that get caught. – Charged Attack: Kokomi consumes some of her stamina and unleashes an AoE blast of hydro directly in front of her. – Plunging Attack: While airborne Kokomi plunges towards the ground, dealing AoE Hyrdro damage to all nearby enemies upon impact. – Kokomi Elemental Skill: Kurage’s Oath Kokomi summons Bake-Kurage, which heals all her allies and deals Hydro damage to all enemies within range. The damage dealt is based around Kokomi’s max health, meaning you’ll want to increase this five-star support’s HP if you wish to deal huge amounts of burst. Kokomi Elemental Burst: Nereids Ascension Kokomi Summons the mighty Watatsumi, dealing huge amounts of Hydro damage to all surrounding enemies. Kokomi’s Normal, Charged, and Elemental Skill deals more damage based on her maximum HP. If that wasn’t enough, the five-star Catalyst user can also heal nearby allies when any Normal or Charged attacks hit enemies. Kokomi Constellations Lucky enough to get multiple copies of Kokomi? Then you have some great constellation buffs to look forward to. Level 1 — At Water’s Edge: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi’s last Normal Attack will unleash a swimming fish that deals 30% of her Max HP as Hydro DMG. – Level 2 — The Clouds Like Waves Rippling: Sangonomiya Kokomi gains Healing Bonuses when allied characters have 50% or less HP. – Level 3 — The Moon, A Ship O’er the Seas: Increases the Level of Nereid’s Ascension by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — The Moon Overlooks the Waters: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi’s Normal Attack SPD is increased by 10%, and Normal Attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.8 Energy for her. This effect can occur once every 0.2s. – Level 5 — All Streams Flow to the Sea: Increases the Level of Kurage’s Oath by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Sango Isshin: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi gains a 40% Hydro DMG Bonus for 4s after her Normal and Charged Attacks heal a character with 80% or more HP. – Best Kokomi Artifacts in Genshin Impact The best Kokomi builds are those that utilize Artifacts that increase her Hydro damage, HP, and healing potential. Therefore, we recommend using the 4-piece Ocean-Hued Clam set to increase her healing effectiveness by 15%, in addition to dealing 90% of HP as DMG after restoring the health of a party member. You could also run the 4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith set to transform Kokomi into a Hydro Support. However, you will have to focus on boosting her Energy Recharge to allow her to use her Elemental Burst more often. Lastly, you could run the 4-piece Heart of Depth to increase her Hydro DMG, but we recommend the other options over using this Artifact set. Best Kokomi weapon in Genshin Impact Kokomi specializes as a Catalyst character, which enables her to bombard her enemies with some incredibly devastating ranged Hydro attacks. The best weapon for Kokomi is the 5-star Catalyst Everlasting Moonglow to improve her Healing Bonus, Normal Attack DMG, and Energy Regeneration. Another option is running the 4-star weapon Prototype Amber to allow her Elemental Burst to regenerate energy and HP. Lastly, the 3-star Catalyst Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is actually a great choice if you want Kokomi to increase a character’s ATK. Kokomi Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials While weapons and artifacts will help increase Kokomi’s damage and healing, you’ll need to level up her talents and ascend her if you wish to truly maximize the Divine Priestess’s potential. Kokomi’s materials are located around Inazuma, which means you’ll likely have the majority of these items if you’ve been playing through all the new content. You need to fight lots of Specters to farm Spectral Husks, while the Hellfire Butterfly drop comes from the Lv. 70+ Narukami Island: Tenshukaku. As Kokomi excels at healing her allies, you’ll want to max out her Kurage’s Oath Talent first. Once you’ve maxed her Elemental Skill, we then recommend leveling up her Elemental Burst and Normal Attack. Of course, you can switch this if you wish to make her your main/sub-DPS. Talent Level-Up Materials Ascension Materials Best Kokomi team comp If you want to run Kokomi as a support, then you want to focus on creating a Freeze team with Cryo reactions. We recommend using either Ayaka or Ganyu paired alongside Shenhe to take advantage of Kokomi’s Hydro application. The added Cryo Resonance bonus also raises the CRIT Rate against foes that are Frozen or affected by Cryo by 15%. This will enable you to quickly chew through all your foes in the blink of an eye. Having an Anemo character like Kazuha or Venti is a great way to sweep enemies off their feet, enabling you to freeze all clustered enemies. Alternatively, you could run Kokomi on a Bloom team with Nilou, Collei, and Nahida. You could have a couple of replacements for this team, such as Yelan for Nilou and Raiden Shogun for Collei. So, there you have it, everything you need to know about building Kokomi in Genshin Impact.

This is particularly true amongst travelers who are taking on the challenges within the Spiral Abyss. Kokomi’s AoE Hydro attacks make her a great choice for Freeze and Superconduct teams, while her incredible healing keeps even the most fragile DPS units safe. It’s this supportive playstyle that makes the Divine Priestess such a valuable member of any team. If you missed Kokomi’s banner upon her debut or just wish to unlock her constellations, then the Kokomi banner rerun could help you to do just that. Contents Kokomi banner rerun release date in Genshin Impact The Kokomi banner will be released on March 08, 2022.

Best Klee Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Klee Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoKlee is one of Genshin Impact’s cutest characters. However, don’t let the exterior fool you — the Spark Knight is a master of all things explosive and a great Pyro DPS to have on your side. We’ve got the ultimate Klee guide here, including her best build, artifacts, weapons, and more. The pint-sized Spark Knight is one of the more popular characters in Genshin Impact for DPS, as her bombs pack a powerful punch. Her explosives are wild, sending enemies flying. If you’ve only just got your hands on Klee, or if you’ve had her in your team since her launch early on in the game’s lifecycle, we’ve got the guide to help you get the most out of her. Read on to find out the best Klee builds in Genshin Impact, including the top artifacts and weapons you want to grind for. Contents Klee abilities – Klee constellations – Best Klee artifacts – Best Klee weapons – Klee Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Klee trailer – Best Klee team comp – Klee’s abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Kaboom! Normal Attack: Perform up to three explosive attacks, dealing AoE Pyro damage. – Charged Attack: Deals AoE Pyro damage to enemies. Has a short casting time and consumes some Stamina. – Plunging Attack: From mid-air, Klee plummets towards the ground like a fireball. Deals AoE Pyro damage upon impact. – An additional note to Klee’s basic attacks — she can get an Explosive Spark from her Normal Attacks, which empower her next Charged Attack. Look out for the glowing flower to make the most of this big DPS boost, and try to animation cancel the long cast time by jumping or dashing. Elemental Skill: Jumpy Dumpty Klee throws one of her Jumpy Dumpty bombs. When thrown, it bounces three times, dealing AoE Pyro damage on every bounce. After the third jump, it splits into eight mines, each causing damage upon impact with an enemy. It also has two charges, so you can pocket them for huge amounts of splash damage at once. Elemental Burst: Sparks ‘n’ Splash Klee’s Elemental Burst continuously summons fiery laser beams across 10 seconds to cause devastating AoE Pyro damage to opponents. However, Sparks ‘n’ Splash will only do damage while Klee is on the field, so it is key to set up your Elemental reactions beforehand with allies before swapping over to the Pyro carry. Klee constellations Lucky enough to find multiple copies of Klee? Check out the bonus constellation buffs you can get below: Level 1 — Chained Reactions: Attacks and Skills have a certain chance to summon sparks that bombard opponents, dealing DMG equal to 120% of Sparks ‘n’ Splash’s DMG. – Level 2– Explosive Frags: Being hit by Jumpy Dumpty’s mines decreases opponents’ DEF by 23% for 10s. – Level 3 — Exquisite Compound: Increases the Level of Jumpy Dumpty by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Sparkly Explosion: If Klee leaves the field during the duration of Sparks ‘n’ Splash, her departure triggers an explosion that deals 555% of her ATK as AoE Pyro DMG. – Level 5 — Nova Burst: Increases the Level of Sparks ‘n’ Splash by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Blazing Delight: While under the effects of Sparks ‘n’ Splash, Klee will regenerate 3 Energy for all members of the party (excluding Klee) every 3s. When Sparks ‘n’ Splash is used, all party members will gain a 10% Pyro DMG Bonus for 25s. – Best Klee Artifacts in Genshin Impact Of course, as a Main DPS, Klee loves any artifact that gives her bonus damage in Genshin Impact. Much like the other element-specific damage artifacts, Crimson Witch of Flames is the go-to set for her, boosting her Pyro damage significantly — and synergizes well with her Jumpy Dumpty bombs. If you need to pad out her artifacts, these are great options in 4-Piece Sets. Just aim to find artifacts with ATK%, CRIT Rate, and DMG, as well as Pyro DMG substats. Best Klee weapons in Genshin Impact As far as weapons go for Klee, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is by far her best option. The five-star Catalyst gives her more movement speed — great for dodging attacks as she is quite vulnerable — and she also gains an Elemental DMG bonus the longer she remains in combat. If you need a budget pick, Dodoco Tales is a weapon made for Klee. Named after her companion attached to her backpack, the four-star Catalyst increases her Charged Attack damage. One of these two weapons is the way to go for Klee in terms of catalysts, but there are some other options if you’re struggling: Klee Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Being one of the first characters added to Genshin Impact, all of Klee’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials can be found around Mondstadt and Liyue. Everflame Seeds drop while farming Pyro Regisvines in Liyue, and Philanemo Mushrooms spawn around Mondstadt Castle and Springvale. You can pretty easily find Agnidus Agate and Scrolls anywhere in the world, though, through boss fights or taking down Samachurls. Klee Talent Level-Up Materials Klee Ascension materials Klee Genshin Impact trailer Klee’s trailer, named Jumpy Dumpty after her ability, explores the young Knight’s story and gives a glimpse of her abilities in action. The daughter of one of Mondstadt’s most accomplished adventurers, Alice, Klee takes a lot from her mother. Left in the care of the Knights of Favonius while she journeys across Teyvat, Klee often gets up to mischief with her big explosions, much to Jean’s dismay. Best Klee team comp As Klee works best as a Main DPS (although with enough Constellations, you can make her work as a Sub DPS), you want to support her with plenty of sidekicks ready to provide Elemental support. Bennett is a great ally to have — and probably the best, all being considered — giving Pyro Elemental Resonance as well as a healthy dash of healing. However, to help make her bombs really tick, characters like Venti and Sucrose, helping to bring enemies together with Anemo, are super powerful. Xingqiu and Diona are also great picks. The former is a great Sub DPS that can help apply Vaporize, while Diona can help apply Melt with her Burst. If you have the units to splash, though, Zhongli, Mona, and Kazuha are all great options. Klee is a great DPS to build a team around with an easy-to-use kit, meaning you don’t have to worry too much about rotating characters in or out — just let her drop all of her bombs and watch the chaos unfold. If you’re looking for more great Genshin Impact builds to round out your team, check out our list below.

Best Kinich Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, & team comp – Dexerto
Best Kinich Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, & team comp HoYoverseKinich is a 5-star Dendro unit in Genshin Impact that has a fast and agile playstyle accompanied by massive damage output. Kinich was released in Genshin Impact as part of the version 5.0 update. He’s quite versatile and can function in a variety of teams including Burgeon and Quickbloom. Apart from that, his mobility makes exploration very easy as you can roam around Natlan quickly. He is not a must-pull, but definitely worth having in your account in case you lack a Dendro DPS. If you’re looking to pull for Kinich we have you covered with a detailed guide featuring his best weapon, artifacts, and team comp. Best Kinich Genshin Impact build While this is the best build for Kinich in Genshin Impact, if you want to learn about the individual components of the setup, you can find detailed information below. Best Weapons Fang of the Mountain King This is the best weapon for Kinich in Genshin Impact. Upon equipping it grants the Turquoise Hunt buff on the wearer. Upon hitting an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the wielder gains one stack of Canopy’s Favor as part of the Turquoise Hunt buff. When a nearby party member triggers a Burning or Burgeon reaction, the wearer gains three stacks at once. Canopy’s Favor increases the Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG bonus by 10%. The maximum number of stacks that can be obtained is six. Beacon of the Reed Sea This is the best alternative weapon for Kinich in Genshin Impact. Upon equipping and hitting an opponent with their Elemental Skill, the character’s ATK is increased by 20%. When they take damage, they gain a further 20% ATK buff. This effect is triggered even when the character is not on the field. Finally, if the wielder is not protected by a shield, their HP is increased by 32%. Best Artifacts Being Natlan unit, Kinich relies on the Nightsoul mechanic for maximum damage output. As such, the best Artifact set for Kinich is Obsidian Codex. The set bonus for this Artifact set is as follows: Ascension and talent level-up materials Ascension Kinich in Genshin Impact needs Nagadus Emerald Silver and its upgrades, Saurian Claw Succulent, Overripe Flamegranate, and Juvenile Fang and its upgrades. The exact number of materials he needs is as follows: Nagadus Emerald Silver x1 – Nagadus Emerald Fragment x9 – Nagadus Emerald Chunk x9 – Nagadus Emerald Gemstone x6 – Saurian Claw Succulent x168 – Juvenile Fang x18 – Seasoned Fang x30 – Tyrant’s Fang x36 – Overripe Flamegranate x46 – Talent level-up Kinich’s talents in Genshin Impact need Teachings of Kindling and its upgrades, Juvenile Fang and its upgrades, Denial and Judgement, and Crown of Insight.

The best units to pair alongside him are Emilie, Xiangling, and Bennett. In this team, Kinich functions as the main DPS, Bennet helps with buffs and healing and Xiangling provides damage along with Pyro application to trigger the reactions. If you want, you can replace Bennett with Chereuse or Thoma who also synergize extremely well with Kinich’s kit. You can also run a team comprised of Kinich, Nahida, Xingqiu, and Kuki Shinobu for Quickbloom reactions. This comp isn’t the strongest, but it’s very consistent with its damage output. Kinich abilities Basic Attack- Nightsun Style Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passive skills Kinich Constellations Level 1 – Parrot’s Beak: After Kinich lands from Canopy Hunter: Riding High’s mid-air swing, his Movement SPD will increase by 20% for 5s.Additionally, Scalespiker Cannon’s CRIT DMG is increased by 100%. – Level 2 – Tiger Beetle’s Palm: When Kinich’s Elemental Skill hits opponents, it will decrease their Dendro RES by 30% for 6s.

Additionally, Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord deals 70% more DMG. – Level 5 – Howler Monkey’s Tail: Increases the Level of Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 – Auspicious Beast’s Shape: After Scalespiker Cannon hits an opponent, it will bounce between opponents once, dealing 700% of Kinich’s ATK as Dendro DMG. If this Scalespiker Cannon triggers the buffs that Passive Talent “Flame Spirit Pact” or the Constellation “Tiger Beetle’s Palm” grant to the Cannon, the bouncing attack will also obtain the relevant buffs. – Kinich pros and cons The pros and cons of Kinich in Genshin Impact are as follows: Kinich trailer On September 16, 2024, HoYoverse released the official trailer for Kinich on their YouTube channel.

Best Keqing Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Keqing Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoBlink, and you’ll miss her — Keqing is one of Genshin Impact’s fastest characters, with the Electro sword moving like lightning itself. She’s also one of the game’s best DPS characters. If you want to maximize that, we’ve got the best Keqing build right here, including her top Genshin Impact artifacts and weapons. Keqing is certainly a busybody in Liyue, not stopping for one second in her workaholic lifestyle to try and keep the region in check. She pushes herself and her skills to her limit, having mastered everything about her Vision. In the hands of a skilled Genshin Impact player, Keqing is almost unparalleled in DPS. The Electro character, with the right support, can dish it out in spades. We’ve got the ultimate guide so you can maximize that damage, with her best build, artifacts, and weapons here. Contents Keqing abilities – Keqing constellations – Best Keqing artifacts – Best Keqing weapons – Keqing Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Keqing trailer – Keqing pros and cons in Genshin Impact – Should you pull for Keqing in Genshin Impact – Best Keqing team comp – Keqing abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Yunlai Swordsmanship Normal Attack: Perform up to 5 rapid strikes. – Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. – Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – For Keqing’s basic combos, it’s best to do one Normal Attack into a Charged Attack. However, once you start running low on stamina, you can do four Normal Attacks before doing the Charged Attack to avoid the lock-out after your fifth strike. Elemental Skill: Stellar Restoration Keqing hurls a Lightning Stiletto, which deals Electro DMG to opponents in a small AoE, and places a Stiletto Mark on the spot hit. If Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again or uses a Charged Attack while its duration lasts, it will clear the Stiletto Mark and either teleport Keqing to the mark or release a series of thundering cuts at the mark’s location respectively. It can be held to throw it in mid-air, allowing you to do a Plunging Attack instead too. You want to basically spam this ability off cooldown and take advantage of the heavy hitting Charged Attack. Elemental Burst: Starward Sword Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AOE. She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG. You want to group enemies together when you use your Elemental Burst for maximum damage — and double points if you manage to chain together Electro-Charged with Hydro. For that reason (and more on that later), you want one of either an Anemo or Hydro support to go with Keqing to make the most of her kit. Keqing constellations Lucky enough to find multiple copies of Keqing? You have some great constellation buffs to look forward to, especially at Level 2 and 4. Level 1 — Thundering Might: Recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present causes Keqing to deal 50% of her ATK as AoE Electro DMG at the start point and terminus of her Blink. – Level 2 — Keen Extraction: When Keqing’s Normal and Charged Attacks hit opponents affected by Electro, they have a 50% chance of producing an Elemental Particle. This effect can only occur once every 5s. – Level 3 — Foreseen Reformation: Increases the Level of Starward Sword by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Attunement: For 10s after Keqing triggers an Electro-related Elemental Reaction, her ATK is increased by 25%. – Level 5 — Beckoning Stars: Increases the Level of Stellar Restoration by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Tenacious Star: When initiating a Normal Attack, a Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, Keqing gains a 6% Electro DMG Bonus for 8s. Effects triggered by Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts are considered independent entities. – Best Keqing artifacts in Genshin Impact Keqing is funny in the fact she doesn’t really benefit from any 4-Piece Set bonuses. She does take advantage of certain artifacts more than others — like Thundering Fury (for the Electro DMG bonus) and Gladiator’s Finale and Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (for ATK). However, running either in a 4-Piece is just strictly weaker than mixing and matching their 2-Piece bonuses. If you do want a 4-Piece set, you can run Thundersoother, but it is not the best artifact set to farm for. You can find Keqing’s best artifacts below: Best Keqing weapons in Genshin Impact Keqing works best if you maximize her Electro damage, so what better weapon to use than that of the Electro Archon’s, the Mistsplitter Reforged? With the Elemental DMG bonus (which Keqing can keep up with ease), it has the best in-slot DPS thanks to the Crit DMG boost it offers, too. However, there are other options if you didn’t pull on that banner. Primordial Jade Cutter is a more friendly five-star option, while the Black Sword buffs up her incredibly powerful Charged Attacks. Here’s a list of Keqing’s best weapons you should use in your build: Keqing Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Keqing Talent Level-Up materials Keqing in Genshin Impact needs Teachings of Prosperity, Guide to Prosperity, Philosophies of Prosperity, Whopperflower Nectar, and Ring of Boreas. The exact number of materials you need for Keqing are listed below: Where to farm Keqing Talent level-up materials in Genshin Impact Teachings of Prosperity and its upgrades Teachings of Prosperity and its upgrades are dropped from Taishan Mansion in Liyue. It is located in Jueyun Karst. Whopperflower Nectar This is an item that is dropped by Whopperflowers in Genshin Impact. You need to locate these enemies using the Adventurer’s Handbook. All you need to do is look for the enemy’s name and click on navigate. The game will automatically direct you to the concerned locations. Ring of Boreas This is a material that is dropped by Lupus Boreas, Dominator of Wolves. You can find the boss in Mondstadt. Keqing Ascension materials If you want to ascend Keqing to level 90, you will need access to Vajrada Amethyst Silver and its upgrades, Lightning Prism, Cor Lapis, and Whopperflower Nectar. The total number of materials you need are as follows: Vajrada Amethyst Silver x1 – Vajrada Amethyst Fragment x9 – Vajrada Amethyst Chunk x9 – Vajrada Amethyst Fragment x6 – Lightning Prism x46 – Cor Lapis x168 – Whopperflower Nectar x18 – Shimmering Nectar x30 – Energy Nectar x36 – Where to farm Keqing ascension materials in Genshin Impact Vajrada Amethyst Silver and its upgrades This item is dropped from the Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. You can locate this boss near Cape Oath in Mondstadt. Lightning Prism This item is also dropped by the Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. Hence, you can farm both Keqing’s stones and boss material from the same location. Cor Lapis This is a local speciality of Liyue. You can find this item spread all across the region. The areas where it is the most abundant has been marked in red in the image above. Keqing trailer in Genshin Impact Keqing’s trailer in Genshin Impact, named after her Elemental Skill Starward Sword, goes into the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing’s backstory as she awaits a new world order in the region — helping Liyue stand on its own if Rex Lapis falters. It also dives into her abilities and combos, which can quickly wipe out enemies when used correctly. Keqing pros and cons in Genshin Impact The pros and cons of playing Keqing in Genshin Impact are as follows: Should you build Keqing in Genshin Impact? The question of whether she is worth building or not depends upon where you stand as a player in the game. If you are a new player, Keqing is a decent unit as she will carry you through the early game. Once you get a Dendro unit, the reactions are quite strong to help you until you reach some of the more difficult regions. However, if you are a veteran, you should not build Keqing. This is because, if you are looking for an Electro unit, Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, or even Clorinde will outperform Keqing in every possible way. Best Keqing team comp Keqing will be the shining star of your Genshin Impact as your Main DPS. The Electro Sword user hits hard and fast, and she shines even more when paired with another Electro ally. We recommend placing Keqing on an Aggravate team alongside Fischl, Nahida, and Zhongli. The off-field damage from Nahida and Fischl will ensure Keqing’s ability to apply the Quicken buff. Unfortunately, there is no other team where Keqing can shine. You can replace Nahida with the Dendro Traveler, but that is not recommended. You will lose out on a lot of damage if you drop Nahida from the team. With the right squad and build — and knowledge of how her kit works — you can carve up the battlefield as Keqing.

Best Kazuha Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Kazuha Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoKazuha is a powerful 5-star Anemo support unit in Genshin Impact who can swirl elementals and buff the damage output of allies. Kazuha was originally launched in 2021, and even three years later he is one of the best support units in the game. His ability to group smaller enemies, buff damage for allies, and swirl multiple elements is unmatched even to this day. Kazuha received a rerun in Genshin Impact version 5.0 alongside Mualani and is a strong pickup if you can spare a few Primogems. If you are looking to pull for Kazuha, here is a guide focused on his best build that will help you get him ready for end-game content almost instantly. Best Kazuha build in Genshin Impact While this is the best build for Kazuha in Genshin Impact, if you want to learn more about the individual components in the setup, we have discussed those in detail in the following sections. Best Kazuha artifacts in Genshin Impact The best Artifact set for Kazuha is Genshin Impact is the Viridescent Venerer. The set bonus for this Artifact is as follows: Best Kazuha weapons in Genshin Impact Freedom-Sworn This is the best weapon for Kazuha in Genshin Impact and a must-have if you are looking to make the most out of the damage buffs from his kit. Apart from the Elemental Mastery boost from its substats, this weapon increases damage by 10%. Additionally, upon triggering Elemental Reactions, the wearer gains a Sigil of Rebellion. Once the wearer gains 2 stacks, they are consumed and all nearby party members receive a 20% boost to ATK and 16% boost to Normal, Charged, and Plunging attack damage. This effect works even if the character with the weapon equipped is off-field. Favonius Sword Favonius Sword is a very good option for Kazuha if you are looking for consistency. This weapon provides Energy Recharge as a substat and creates particles that regenerate 6 Energy for every character. This means Kazuha will be able to spam his Ultimate ability a lot more even though he loses out a bit in terms of damage buffs. Kazuha Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Talent Level-Up materials The materials you need to level-up Kazuha’s talents in Genshin Impact are Teachings of Diligence and its upgrades, Treasure Horder Insignia and its upgrades, and Gilded Scale. Ascension materials Kazuha’s Ascension in Genshin Impact needs Vayuda Turquoise Silver and its upgrades, Marionette Core, Sea Ganoderman, and Treasure Horder Insignia. Best Kazuha team comp The best units to pair alongside Kazuha in Genshin Impact are Arlecchino, Bennett, and Xiangling. In this team, Kazuha functions as a support as he buffs the damage output of both Arlecchino and Xiangling through Pyro swirl. However, you can also run him in a team with Raiden Shogun at Constellation 2, Kujou Sara, and Bennett. In this team, Raiden Shogun is the main DPS and Kazuha can buff the damage output through Electro Swirl. Finally, if you are willing, a team of Arlecchino, Yelan, Kazuha, and Bennett can also work. Kazuha has the ability to swirl two elements instead of one, which means he can significantly buff both Arlechhino and Yelan’s damage. Kazuha abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Garyuu Bladework Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passives Kazuha constellations Lucky enough to have pulled multiple copies of Kazuha in Genshin Impact?

Best Kaveh Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Kaveh Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseKaveh is a 4-star Dendro character who hails from the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything you need to know about his recommended Artifacts and weapons. Kaveh served as the architect of the Palace of Alcazarzaray in addition to studying the Kshahrewar Darshan of the Sumeru Akademiya. After the palace’s construction, Kaveh’s financial situation caused him to move in with Alhaitham. In terms of combat, Kaveh really shines in teams focused on the Bloom Elemental Reaction but has a massive energy requirement. This particularly matters because Kaveh can’t damage enemies much with his Normal and Charged Attacks. If you’re looking to add Kaveh to your party, keep reading to learn his best Artifact sets and weapons. Best Kaveh build in Genshin Impact While this is the best build for Kaveh if you are interested in learning about the individual components of the setup, we have discussed those in detail in the following sections. Best Kaveh Artifacts If you’re running Kaveh as a DPS on a Bloom-focused team, we recommend using the Flower of Paradise Lost set. The 4-piece set bonus increases his Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions by 40%. After the reaction, Kaveh will gain another 25% bonus to the said effect. If you’re going with the Flower of Paradise Lost artifacts, make sure to have another character in your party with the Deepwood Memories set. You could also use Deepwood Memories on Kaveh to improve his Dendro DMG and decrease opponents’ Dendro RES by 30% for eight seconds. Best Kaveh weapons Mailed Flower This is the best weapon for Kaveh in Genshin Impact where after hitting an enemy with a wearer’s Elemental Skill, they gain a boost to their ATK by 12% and Elemental Mastery by 48. This weapon scales exceptionally well with Kaveh’s kit and is a must-use if you have it. The only issue with this weapon is that, it was a reward from the Windblume’s Breath Event and cannot be acquired anymore. Makhaira Aquamarine This is also a really good weapon for Kaveh as 24% of the equipping character’s Elemental Mastery is converted to bonus ATK. Every party member will gain 30% of the same buff which is massive considering Kaveh is the best fit for Nilou teams. The buff synergizes well with all the units in Kaveh’s party and is a powerful choice if you do not have Mailed Flower. Kaveh Talent Level-Up and Ascension Materials Talent level-up materials Kaveh’s talents in Genshin Impact need Teachings of Ingenuity and its upgrades, Fungal Spores, and Primordial Greenbloom. Ascension Materials Kaveh’s ascension in Genshin Impact needs Nagadus Emerald Silver and its upgrades, Quelled Creeper, Mourning Flower, and Fungal Spores. Best Kaveh team comp We highly recommend running Kaveh alongside Nilou on a team focused on the Bloom Elemental Reaction. The remaining characters can be a variety of options, but we suggest using Kokomi as the team healer and Nahida as a sub-DPS. If you haven’t managed to pull Nilou, you could also run other Hydro options like Xingqiu or Ayato to apply Hydro even when they are not on the field. Alternatively, you could run Kaveh on a Hyperbloom team with Electro units such as Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu. The empty slots could be filled by Dendro characters like Baizhu or Nahida and Hydro options such as Xingqiu or Yelan. Kaveh abilities Normal Attack: Torque Settings Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passives Kaveh Constellations Lucky enough to pull multiple copies of Kaveh? Here are what buffs you can expect from his Constellations Level 1 – Sublime Salutations: Within 3.5s after using Artistic Ingenuity, Kaveh’s Dendro RES will be increased by 50% and he will receive 50% more healing. – Level 2 – The Grand Road: Kaveh’s Normal Attack SPD increases by 15% during Painted Dome. – Level 3 – Profferings of the Golden Tower: Increases the Level of Painted Dome by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 – Feast of a Hundred Pillars: Dendro Cores created from Bloom reactions Kaveh triggers will have their rupture DMG increased by 60%. – Level 5 – Sacred Storage: Increases the Level of Artistic Ingenuity by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 – Idyllic Ideal: When Kaveh’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks hit opponents during Painted Dome, it will unleash the Light of the Firmament upon the opponent’s position, dealing 61.8% of Kaveh’s ATK as AoE Dendro DMG and causing all Dendro Cores within that AoE to rupture. This effect can be triggered once every 3s – Kaveh pros and cons While Kaveh is quite strong, he has a few disadvantages you must be aware of: Kaveh trailer On May 3, 2023, HoYoverse released the official trailer for Kaveh on their YouTube channel.

Kachina is the first new 4-star unit in Natlan and several players will be looking to get her in version 5.0. This is mainly because of the Nightsoul mechanic that helps increase the damage output of Natlan characters. Fortunately, you can get a copy of Kachina for free which makes it easier for free-to-play players to get access to her. If you want to build her, here’s everything you need to know.

Additionally, this weapon can be crafted from Natlan, which means it is an accessible option even for free-to-play players.

This weapon increases ATK by 28% of Energy Recharge. A maximum bonus of 80% ATK can be obtained from this weapon. Additionally, the character will gain 30% Energy recharge upon using Elemental Burst. Best Artifact for Kachina The best Artifact set for Kachina is Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.

Best Jean Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto
Best Jean Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoJean, the Acting Headmaster of the Knights of Favonius, is a great ally to have in battle in Genshin Impact. Acting as a tank and support for her team, she can heal up allies as they rest off-field, all while dealing big damage herself. Here’s the best Jean build in Genshin Impact, including her top artifacts, weapons, and more. Jean is one of the first characters you interact with in Genshin Impact, with the Acting Headmaster of the Knights of Favonius guiding you through the start of the game in Mondstadt. However, she’s more than an NPC. She’s a great ally to have, with the Anemo Sword user being a formidable threat on the battlefield, stepping in for her more flashy allies with some good old RPG tank-style gameplay. Looking to build out your Jean in Genshin Impact? We’ve got you covered with the best build right here, including her top artifacts, weapons, and more. Contents Jean abilities – Jean constellations – Best Jean artifacts – Best Jean weapons – Jean Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Jean trailer – Best Jean team comp – Jean abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Favonius Bladework Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 consecutive strikes. – Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to launch an opponent using the power of wind. Launched opponents will slowly fall to the ground. – Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – Elemental Skill: Gale Blade Focusing the might of the formless wind around her blade, Jean releases a miniature storm, launching opponents in the direction she aims at, dealing massive Anemo DMG. This skill gets much stronger with constellations, increasing the pulling power. It’s also a great way to group enemies together, blast them away (when combo’d with her Charged Attack), and then have an AOE DPS ally jump in to dish out tons of damage. Elemental Burst: Dandelion Breeze Calling upon the wind’s protection, Jean creates a swirling Dandelion Field, launching surrounding opponents and dealing Anemo DMG. At the same time, she instantly regenerates a large amount of HP for all party members. The amount of HP restored scales off Jean’s ATK. The Dandelion Field will remain on-field even after switching off Jean, healing allies and imbuing their attacks with Anemo. This is a great way to proc Swirl reactions, which can be explosive with Pyro, and cleanse debuffs. Jean constellations Managed to find multiple copies of Jean? You have these constellations to look forward to. Level 1 — Spiraling Tempest: Increases the pulling speed of Gale Blade after holding for more than 1s, and increases the DMG dealt by 40%. – Level 2 — People’s Aegis: When Jean picks up an Elemental Orb, all party members have their Movement SPD and ATK SPD increased by 15% for 15s. – Level 3 — When the West Wind Arises: Increases the Level of Dandelion Breeze by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Lands of Dandelion: Within the Field created by Dandelion Breeze, all opponents have their Anemo RES decreased by 40%. – Level 5 — Outbursting Gust: Increases the Level of Gale Blade by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Lion’s Fang, Fair Protector of Mondstadt: Incoming DMG is decreased by 35% within the Field created by Dandelion Breeze. Upon leaving the Dandelion Field, this effect lasts for 3 attacks or 10s. – Best Jean artifacts While Jean is an Anemo Sword user, she doesn’t necessarily benefit that much from Anemo DMG Bonus, making Viridescent Venerer a bit less worthwhile. In fact, you just want to look for ATK boosts, trying to buff up Jean’s healing power. That’s not to say Viridescent Venerer isn’t her best in slot. Gladiator’s Finale is a flexible option if you lack the artifacts, but if you can get the bonus through substats, running Viridescent Venerer is great for buffing her Swirl DMG buff. Here are Jean’s best artifacts in Genshin Impact: Best Jean weapons Jean is a pseudo-tank, all things considered. Therefore, we recommend running Primordial Jade Cutter due to its HP bonus. However, Sacrificial Sword and Festering Desire are great 4-star alternatives. Here are Jean’s best weapons in Genshin Impact: Jean Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Being one of the most important people in Mondstadt, you best believe Jean’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials are found in the same region. You can collect Hurricane Seeds by taking on the Anemo Hypostasis, while Dandelion Seeds can be farmed around Mondstadt by using Anemo abilities on the plants. You can find a full list of what you need to max out your Jean build below: Jean Talent Level-Up materials Jean Ascension materials Jean trailer in Genshin Impact Jean’s trailer in Genshin Impact dropped alongside her launch during the game’s September 2020 release. The Guiding Breeze video goes into her backstory as the Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius. It dives into some of her combos, highlighting her excellent support abilities because “self-sacrifice, after all, is the Dandelion Knight’s path.” Best Jean team comp Jean does act as a Sub DPS or Support, tanking up damage while your other characters reset cooldowns (and health, thanks to Jean’s Wind Companion Talent) off-field. However, you need other damage options to bolster her own. Jean and Venti are a match made in heaven, with the Knights of Favonius leader pairing well with the Anemo Archon himself. Lowering Jean’s cooldowns is big with Elemental Resonance, and he can also proc plenty of Elemental Bursts. Other great Anemo options are Xiao and Kazuha, who can utilize Jean’s knock-up very well. Geo characters like Zhongli and Noelle also help Jean stay on the field for longer, soaking up damage for her allies while cooldowns are resetting. However, you also need a pure DPS to take advantage of Jean’s utility, and Pyro DPS options Hu Tao and Klee do that in spades. Another team comp option consists of Jean, Raiden Shogun, Yelan, and Furina. Like Venti, Furina is another great counterpart to Jean, considering her Hydro application. Jean is a great Genshin Impact character to round out any team, especially if you need someone to heal your team and take up some field time.

Jean banner in Genshin Impact: 4-star characters & more – Dexerto
Jean banner in Genshin Impact: 4-star characters & more miHoYoJean has yet to receive her own banner in Genshin Impact, but that doesn’t mean miHoYo won’t release one in the future. Here’s everything you need to know about the Jean banner, the 4-star characters also featured. Genshin Impact’s Jean is one of the best Anemo support characters in the game, which makes her highly valuable to any team. This powerful 5-star swordsman is capable of launching enemies with deadly wind-based blasts, while her Elemental Burst can instantly regenerate her allies’ health bars. Despite originally debuting alongside Genshin Impact’s release, Jean has yet to receive her own banner. This means travelers have only been able to unlock the Knights of Favonius Grand Master on the game’s standard banner. Whether you’re looking to add Jean to your team or just want to know when she could get her own banner in Genshin Impact, then we have all the latest information on her potential release. Contents Is there a release date for the Jean in Genshin Impact – Jean banner 4-star characters in Genshin Impact – Is there a release date for the Jean banner in Genshin Impact?

Is Yelan good? Genshin Impact streamer explains why new 2.7 character is worth pulling – Dexerto
Is Yelan good? Genshin Impact streamer explains why new 2.7 character is worth pulling HoYoverseGenshin Impact streamer, Tectone, has revealed why he believes the Yelan banner is worth pulling on in the 2.7 update. The Genshin Impact 2.7 Yelan banner is finally here and Travelers are getting to grips with her Hydro-based abilities. While it’s still early days, many of the game’s content creators have been keen to give their views on whether Yelan is worth pulling for. After all, 5-star characters can often require spending many Primogems to obtain. This can make choosing between saving and spending particularly difficult, especially if you have very limited Wishes. However, popular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, has given his views on Yelan to help make this decision a little easier. Is Yelan good in Genshin Impact? One of the biggest concerns regarding Yelan’s kit was that she appeared to be a more expensive version of Xingqiu. This 4-star is one of the best support DPS characters in the game and is incredibly good value for all Travelers looking to raise their team’s DPS. However, Tectone was keen to point out this issue. “In case you’re pulling Yelan because you think her at CO will completely replace Xingqiu, she’s not going to do that,” explained Tectone. Read More: Current & next Genshin Impact banner – “This game has been out for nearly two years now, and the majority of F2P players probably have a C6 Xingqiu if you’ve been spending your Primogems effectively.” Of course, for Travelers that do wish to unlock Yelan, then the streamer recommended using her in any team with Xingqiu. “There is another thing people aren’t talking about,” said the streamer. “While C6 Xingqiu sh*ts on Yelan, you can just use her with him to get a f*ck ton of Hydro and your attacks will look crazy.” Timestamp of 2:18 Tectone also noted how teams with Yoimiya, Raiden Shogun, Xingqiu, and Yelan would have fantastic DPS. Of course, this does rely on the player not getting hit, but the risk vs reward is very strong. The content creator discussed Yelan’s Elemental Skill, which is incredibly useful for exploration when compared to other characters. “One of the worst things in the game is moving around the overworld. I thought Yelan’s E would initially be useless, but her E makes you go so f*cking fast it’s actually crazy. If you C1 one it, you can go for a god damn year at hyperspeed. To be honest, I think that is worth it.” Ultimately, it’s up to each player whether they think Yelan’s banner is worth pulling on, but it’s clear Tectone is a fan of the new 5-star Hydro unit. Whether she has what it takes to rank at the top of the best Genshin Impact characters tier list remains to be seen, but time will soon tell.

Is Yae Miko worth pulling in Genshin Impact Update 2.5? – Dexerto
Is Yae Miko worth pulling in Genshin Impact Update 2.5? HoYoverseYae Miko has made her debut in Genshin Impact’s Update 2.5. We’ll break down whether the 5-star Electro hero is worth Wishing for or not. After her story debut in 2021, the hype around Yae Miko’s addition as a playable character was off the charts. Players could not get enough of the Grand Narukami shrine maiden. The wait is over as the Electro Catalyst user has made her debut in the Everbloom Violet banner in Genshin Impact update 2.5. But is she worth pulling for? Well, it’s complicated. Yae Miko is not what some players expected Without sugarcoating it, some Genshin Impact players are disappointed in Yae Miko’s damage output. While the Inazuma hero was never promised to be a Main DPS kit, her popularity in the story created raised expectations. Read More: Best Yae Miko Genshin Impact build – At her core, the shrine maiden is actually an incredible Sub-DPS character who provides a consistent output of DMG off-field. And with the right Artifacts, her Elemental Burst really cracks. Miko’s biggest hurdle as a character is the several barriers that HoYoverse has required users to get over before she really shines. Below we list the character’s biggest flaws. Yae Miko negatives Energy hungry At 90 Energy, Yae Miko is one of the more costly characters to run in the game. Players who don’t have a battery unit such as Fischl or Raiden Shogun will have to center their artifacts around Energy Recharge to make up that massive deficiency. Her Elemental Skill turrets also generate little Energy particles, making her solely dependent on other characters or Artifact sets to offset her Energy needs. Weak Defense Another major hurdle is her stats. Simply put, the maiden is weak. At a measly 569 Defense at level 90, the 5-star character gets melted with just a few hits from enemies. This becomes a major problem specifically because of her Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura Elemental Skill. The main way that Yae Miko attacks is to dash three times and to leave behind Sakura Fox Turrets. Unfortunately, the character does not have any iFrames (Invincibility Frames). This means each time you use her Elemental Skill, you are locked into a slow animation that leaves you completely defenseless. Although this can be remedied by having a shield teammate such as Thoma, Diona, or Zhongli, it’s just another obstacle that players will have to deal with. Constellation-heavy Unlike most characters, Yae Miko greatly improves by having her constellations. While it’s true the constellation system is supposed to buff your characters, they don’t usually feel necessary the way they do with the Inazuma hero. Take her C1 Yakan Offering for instance, it essentially cuts her Energy cost down from 90 to 65. Her C2 Fox’s Mooncall extends the range of her Sesshou Sakura up to 60% – those aren’t just buffs, but massive changes that fix a handful of her biggest flaws. Yae Miko positives Consistent Damage Due to Yae Miko’s unique Sakura playstyle, users can essentially dish out a constant flow of DMG throughout each battle. Players who continue to invest in her can build up an impressive amount of free damage without having to do anything. The hero can also pack a real punch with her Elemental Burst. Those who manage to overcome her Energy costs can utilize her nuke attacks quite effectively to hit boss enemies hard. Incredible Sub-DPS All negatives aside, she is an amazing Sub-DPS. Placing her turrets and rotating her out with the right teammates (such as a Hydro or Pyro type) can create powerful Elemental reactions. Because her Turrets scale off Elemental Mastery, players can craft some incredible combinations that take advantage of her skills. Wide-range AoE While the 5-star character has a slow Elemental Skill animation, the flexibility of the turrets allows you to focus on a single enemy or spread them apart to hit larger groups. Because the Sakuras are chained together, this results in having one of the largest-ranged AoE attacks in the game. Players can also spam her Elemental Skill which gives the ability to adjust the AoE on the fly without having any sort of cooldown or wait period. Is Yae Miko worth pulling in Genshin Impact? As of now, most players can probably wait on Yae Miko. She could get buffed down the line or get her own Artifact Set which helps iron out some of her flaws. As of now, she has too many hurdles that stop her from being a must-have character. Read More: Genshin Impact update 2.6 leaks – Those who absolutely need a Sub-DPS slot filled and are able to overcome her Energy needs won’t regret Miko. In fact, she can be one of the most powerful characters in the game if built right and paired with the right team. The simple fact is, Yae Miko isn’t that much better than Fischl at C6 – a character that many players (especially free-to-play accounts) can get with less barrier to entry. Of course, if you just love the Inazuma hero then wish away.

Is Xianyun (Cloud Retainer) worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Xianyun (Cloud Retainer) worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseXianyun, also known as Cloud Retainer, is an upcoming 5-star unit in Genshin Impact. Here is a discussion on whether she is worth pulling or not in the game. Xianyun is arguably one of the most anticipated units in Genshin Impact. She is an Anemo Catalyst user in the game and several players have been waiting for her to become playing for a long time now. As such, with her becoming playable in version 4.4, there is a lot of discussion surrounding her viability. You might be wondering as well whether to invest in her banner or go for someone else in the future. Here is a discussion on whether Xianyun is worth pulling or not in Genshin Impact. Should you pull for Xianyun in Genshin Impact? Yes, you should pull for Xianyun in Genshin Impact. She is quite an interesting unit as apart from being a very powerful healer, her kit revolves around plunging attacks. Her passive ability revolves around enhancing plunge attack damage for other characters. The two units that will benefit a lot from her are Diluc and Xiao. This is because Xiao is the only unit in the game that deals plunge attack damage. Additionally, Diluc despite relying mostly on elemental infusions for dealing damage, his plunge attack multipliers are very high. Hence, he will also deal a lot of damage. This idea has led to some discourse in the community. This is because some players feel that she might not be worth it. However, you must remember that even though a normal character will be unable to use her plunge attack buff, her healing is quite worthwhile. If you lack a healer like Baizhu or Kokomi who are valuable in a Furina team, Xianyun can fill that slot very easily. Therefore, you will never lose out in case you decide to pull her without her even though her plunge attack buff might not be beneficial for you. Finally, there is also the factor to consider that she has an amazing design. Her gameplay is also very unique and quite fun. Therefore, if you pull for her just because you like the unit, there is no harm in that. This is all you need to know so far about Xianyun in Genshin Impact.

Is Wanderer worth pulling in Genshin Impact Version 4.6? – Dexerto
Is Wanderer worth pulling in Genshin Impact Version 4.6? HoYoverseWanderer is set to receive his long-awaited rerun in Genshin Impact Version 4.6. Here is whether you should pull for him or not in the current meta. Wanderer’s kit has a floating mechanic where you can fly around for a short duration while dealing damage to enemies. This part of his kit makes him a very fun character to play with regardless of whether you are a new player or a veteran. However, alongside Wanderer, Version 4.6 will also feature the first-ever banner for Arlecchino alongside reruns for Baizhu and Lyney. Hence, if you are a free-to-play player, you will have to make a choice on whom to skip. Here is what you need to know about pulling for Wanderer in Genshin Impact Version 4.6. Should you pull for Wanderer in Genshin Impact Version 4.6? No, Wanderer is not worth pulling in Genshin Impact Version 4.6. It is important to mention here that he is fun to play. He has a unique mechanic where pressing upon pressing E, Wanderer will start floating in the air. In this state, his basic attacks are enhanced and deal quite a lot of damage. However, if you want to make Wanderer viable in Genshin Impact, you need to invest a lot into building him. He is one of those units that needs picture-perfect stats and artifacts to become viable. You will have to spend hours farming artifacts so that you can maintain a good enough Crit ratio while also maintaining his other stats. Additionally, Wanderer also relies on a very restrictive team composition as you need to run Bennett and Faruzan to make him viable. Faruzan in particular is a dedicated support for Wanderer and you need to build her and ideally get her to Constellation 6. Finally, Wanderer performs best when you have a 5-star weapon on him. While 4-star weapons like Widsith are not bad, he won’t be as viable in Spiral Abyss without a 5-star weapon. Therefore, you will be forced to pull in the weapon banner, spending valuable resources in the process. All things considered, you’ll be better off pulling for Arlecchino instead or just saving your Primogems for Clorinde who is receiving a banner in Version 4.7.

Is there a Genshin Impact 3.9 update? – Dexerto
Is there a Genshin Impact 3.9 update? HoYoverseGenshin Impact has a lot of regular content updates for players to enjoy but is there a 3.9 update coming? Here’s everything you need to know. HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact has become one of the most popular gacha games on the market over the last few years, and it’s largely thanks to the developer’s consistent content updates that have been rolled out regularly since the game launched in 2020. Every big update usually includes some exciting new characters that players can reroll for on the game’s banners. New regions, quests, enemies, and events are also frequently added to the gacha game with each update. With the 3.8 update having arrived in early July 2023, many Travelers are wondering if Genshin Impact will follow this up with a 3.9 update, so here’s everything you need to know about upcoming content in the game. Is there a Genshin Impact 3.9 update? No, there won’t be a 3.9 update for Genshin Impact. This is because the patch doesn’t exist, and the 4.0 update will be the next to arrive in the game. This isn’t too surprising as HoYoverse also bypassed the 2.9 update for the game, skipping straight from 2.8 to 3.0. The 4.0 update is set to feature a lot of exciting content, including the introduction of the Fontaine region which is the land of the Hydro Archon in Teyvat. The last time a major update was skipped was just prior to the Sumeru region being added in version 3.0, so this again follows the content pattern HoYoverse has set out so far. Alongside the Fontaine region, a handful of new playable characters will be available including Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, so there’s plenty for players to look forward to when version 4.0 arrives. A release date hasn’t been confirmed for the update just yet but it’s expected to launch in early August. There you have it, that’s everything you need to know about the 3.9 update in Genshin Impact.

Is Sigewinne worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? – Dexerto
Is Sigewinne worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? HoYoverseSigewinne is an upcoming 5-star Hydro unit in Genshin Impact version 4.7. Here is whether you should consider pulling for her or not in the game. Sigewinne has been a mysterious unit in Genshin Impact ever since she was first revealed during version 4.0. Leaks surrounding her had been scarce for quite a long time, with not much hype surrounding her as a unit. However, after she was confirmed for version 4.7, fans started to take notice. Leaks suggested that she would have a pretty good kit, and now players are wondering whether they should pull for Sigewinne or go for Clorinde. Thus, if you are confused about what to do regarding Sigewinne’s viability, we have you covered. Should you pull for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact version 4.7? Yes, you should pull for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact version 4.7. Sigewinne is a hybrid unit in Genshin that can heal allies while dealing damage to nearby opponents. Sigewinne’s E ability creates a bubble that can bounce between opponents and heal allies. If you hold the E ability, the bubble will grow in size up to a maximum of double the base value. At this stage, it can even imprison smaller enemies. She also creates Sourcewater Droplets that grant her Bond of Life. Clearing the Bond of Life will grant her Elemental Energy. Finally, Sigewinne’s Ultimate is a DPS skill where she will deal AoE Hydro DMG to all nearby enemies. Additionally, she consumes the Sourcewater Droplets whenever she uses his ability. It is also important to mention that Sigewinne’s passive ability, Detailed Diagnosis, Thorough Treatment, grants her a Healing bonus based on the number of characters with Bond of Life. This passive is amazing as it shows that Sigewinne is built for units that use the Bond of Life mechanic. She can inflict Bond of Life on herself, and if you pair her with Clorinde or Arlecchino, she will gain Healing Bonus while also assisting the team with damage and reactions. In short, Sigewinne can function as a utility unit, which is always a lot better than being a hardcore healer. She will also become even better when HoYoverse releases more units that use the Bond of Life mechanic.

Is Sethos worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? – Dexerto
Is Sethos worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? HoYoverseSethos is an upcoming 4-star Electro bow user in Genshin Impact but is he worth pulling in version 4.7? Here’s everything you need to know. Genshin Impact version 4.7 will introduce Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos as playable units and players are quite hyped about all three characters and look to pull for them in the upcoming update. Sethos is a 4-star, so you don’t need to pull for him exclusively since he might drop very early if you get lucky. However, some players might be looking to get him to constellation 6. If you are one of those fans and wondering whether to spend your Primogems on Sethos’ constellations, we have you covered. Should you pull for Sethos in Genshin Impact version 4.7? No, Sethos is not worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7. Sethos is an Electro DPS unit and his kit and constellations are catered towards enhancing his damage output. Sethos’s E ability allows him to deal Electro damage in a short duration while also recharging Energy after triggering an Elemental Reaction. His ultimate ability empowers Sethos’ Normal Attacks that deal massive Electro DMG to enemies. The damage output is enhanced based on Elemental Mastery. All this looks good on paper where Sethos can become an on-field Electro damage dealer. However, when it comes to DPS, 5-star units will easily outclass Sehos. Clorinde, a 5-star unit releasing with Genshin Impact version 4.7, has the potential to become one of the best DPS units in the game. Additionally, there are units like Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko who will perform the role of a DPS better than Sethos. If you really like Sethos, you may consider spending your Primogems on him. However, it will be a wiser choice to spend those on Clorinde instead, especially if you’re new to Genshin Impact.

Is Navia worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Navia worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseNavia is a brand new 5-star Geo Claymore user who was released in Genshin Impact version 4.3. Here is a guide on whether she is worth pulling or not. Navia is one of the most beloved units because of her impact in Fontaine’s Archon Quest. Players love her character and the vibe she brings and have been waiting for her to become playable in the game for a long time now. However, with Navia becoming playable, a lot of players are asking if they should pull for her or not. This is because there are a lot of interesting characters who will be released in the coming patches. Hence, it is natural to feel confused, especially if you are a free-to-play gamer. Here is what we know so far on whether Navia is worth your Primogems or not. Should you pull for Navia in Genshin Impact? Yes, Navia is worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.3. As soon as she was released, it became clear that Navia is one of the best DPS units in the game. Her damage output is on par with the likes of Neuvillette and she will be a meta hyper-carry in the coming days. One of the first and most essential things to consider about Navia is that she receives Crit DMG from ascension. This means, that building a good Crit Rate/Crit DMG ratio will be quite easy when it comes to Navia. The second important point to consider is that Navia scales based on percentage ATK. She has a passive where for every Pyro, Electro, Cryo, and Hydro party member she gains a 20% increase in ATK. This can stack up to two times. This means team building with Navia will be exceptionally easy. Additionally, one of Navia’s passive ensures that when she uses her skill, all her attacks are converted into Geo and they cannot be overwritten by other Elemental Infusions. Therefore, you will never lose out on damage and something like Constellation Six Bennett will work alongside her. One of the biggest benefits of using Navia is that she can function with units like Albedo and Xiangling. Therefore, you are not forced to pull for new characters to make her viable. Additionally, she is the first Geo character who uses the Crystallize reaction properly. In truth, Navia feels like a second coming of the Geo element and works in a way in which this element was always meant to be played. Therefore, as a character, she is amazing and you can definitely pull for her in the game. However, it is important to remember that being a Geo unit, she does not have the luxury of Elemental Reactions. Therefore, the damage dealt by your Navia will depend on how much you have invested into her artifacts and weapons. This is all you need to know when it comes to Navia’s worth in Genshin Impact.

Is Lyney worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.6? – Dexerto
Is Lyney worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.6? HoYoverseLyney is a 5-star Pyro DPS unit that’s receiving a rerun in Genshin Impact version 4.6. Here is whether you should pull for him or not. Lyney received his first-ever banner in Genshin Impact version 4.0, which marked the release of Fontaine. His banner sales weren’t the best, but that was mostly because players were saving for Neuvillette and Furina. This leads to the question of whether he is worth pulling in version 4.6. Additionally, he is getting paired beside Arlecchino’s banner, which significantly hurts his priority in a popularity contest. Therefore, the discussion is based solely on studying his kit and measuring his strength in the current meta. Here is what you need to know about whether you should be pulling Lyney in version 4.6. Should you pull for Lyney in Genshin Impact version 4.6? No, Lyney is not worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.6. Even though Lyney can deal a lot of damage, he has a pretty restricted use. Most of Lyney’s power comes from his passive called Conclusive Ovation. Lyney gains around 60% bonus DMG whenever hitting a unit that has been affected by the Pyro element. His damage is further enhanced by 20% for every Pyro unit in the party other than Lyney. Therefore, he needs a mono-Pyro team to be useful in combat. While this is not too bad, you are restricted to where and how you will be able to use Lyney in Genshin Impact. If the Spiral Abyss has a single enemy that’s immune to Pyro damage, your entire Lyney team will become useless. Also, you will be unable to use Furina and Yelan alongside Lyney, who are two of the strongest supports in the game. Finally, Arlecchino is releasing alongside Lyney, who is a much more versatile and unique unit in Genshin Impact. So, if you’re looking for a Pyro DPS in version 4.6, you will gain more by spending your hard-earned Primogems on Arlecchino.

Is Genshin Impact multiplayer? – Dexerto
Is Genshin Impact multiplayer? HoYoverseHoYoverse’s Genshin Impact is an extremely popular gacha game that players log in to every day, but you may be wondering if the game supports multiplayer. Since Genshin Impact first launched back in 2020, it’s become one of the most beloved gacha games on the market with millions of players logging in the world of Teyvat on a daily basis. New players are downloading the game every day, and for those diving in for the very first time you might want to know if Genshin Impact includes multiplayer features. Being able to team up with friends in your new favorite game is always a fun time after all. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about multiplayer in Genshin Impact. Does Genshin Impact have multiplayer? The question as to whether Genshin Impact has multiplayer is yes. However, it is in the form of a co-op where you can join the world of other players who can control your character. Genshin Impact’s co-op allows a maximum of 4 players at a time and you can take part in all kinds of content. The only content that you cannot take part in co-op is the story content. You cannot go into co-op during events either except the ones that exclusively allow other players. However, if you want to defeat a boss, complete a domain, or collect materials you can do so in co-op. In the case of domains, you can join random players by simply clicking on the “Match” option before starting it. Apart from that, you can also join someone else’s world from your friend’s menu as well. In short, Genshin Impact is a single-player game and most of the content is created to be completed solo. However, it is possible to play co-op though it is quite heavily limited in what you can do. This concludes our guide to multiplayer in Genshin Impact.

Is Furina worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Furina worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseFurina, the Hydro Archon is set to receive a banner in Genshin Impact‘s 4.2 update. Here is a guide on whether she is worth pulling and if you should spend your hard-earned Primogems. Genshin Impact’s 4.2 patch update is set for release on November 8, 2023. There is an immense amount of hype surrounding this patch since the story of Fontaine is going to take an intense turn. However, one more reason why players are so excited is that it is the patch where Furina, the Hydro Archon will finally become playable in the game. However, several players are unaware of the full extent of Furina’s power and might be considering whether to pull for her or skip her. As it happens, here is a discussion on whether Furina is worth it or not. Should you pull for Furina in Genshin Impact? Yes, Furina is worth pulling for in Genshin Impact and will provide immense value for your Primogems. In fact, if you are someone who is invested in the Spiral Abyss, there is no reason to skip an Archon since these characters are meta-defining in every sense. Previous Archons such as Raiden Shogun, Nahida, and Zhongli are still dominating the game. Therefore, it is safe to assume Furina will be similar in terms of impact. However, it is not just the Archon tag that makes her valuable, as her kit is quite powerful. Furina is an HP scaling character who can buff allies as well as heal them through her skill ability. Additionally, she increases the damage output and incoming healing for party members through her Ultimate. Therefore, she is an all-purpose unit that can single-handedly carry a party. She will make units like Neuvilette, Yelan, Kokomi, and many other HP scaling characters even more powerful. Lastly, she herself can deal decent damage and can become even more potent at higher constellations. This concludes all you need to know on whether Furina is worth pulling in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Eula banner rerun: Is it worth the Primogems? – Dexerto
Genshin Impact Eula banner rerun: Is it worth the Primogems? HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact Eula banner is finally on the horizon, but is the 5-star Cryo character worth pulling? The long-awaited Eula banner rerun will be released as part of the Genshin Impact 3.8 update, giving Travelers the chance to unlock her. This is obviously incredibly exciting for players that have been waiting to add Eula to their team or unlock her powerful Constellations. After all, HoYoverse hasn’t released a Eula banner rerun since the Cryo character was featured in the 2.8 update. Fortunately, players no longer have to wait much longer before Eula makes her return to the game. However, if you’re on the fence about rolling on the upcoming banner and wish to know whether Eula is worth spending your Primogems on, then our handy guide has you covered. Is Eula worth pulling in Genshin Impact? Yes, Eula is worth pulling in Genshin Impact. The captain of the Reconnaissance Company may not be as potent as Ayaka when it comes to setting up elemental reactions, but her attack speed and resistance to interruption make her extremely powerful. This is especially true when Eula is used as the main DPS in a Superconduct team. In fact, when you pair her with Raiden Shogun, Bennett, and Zhongli, you’ll be able to unleash some incredible damage numbers. The coordinated attacks from Raiden Shogun enable Eula to constantly set up elemental reactions like Superconduct, which greatly decrease the Physical RES of your opponents. When you factor this in with the damage buff from Bennett and tanky shields from Zhongli, you have an extremely strong team that can melt through the tankiest enemy’s health bar. So, if you’re looking for a strong DPS Cryo character, then Eula is worth pulling for when her banner makes its return.

Is Clorinde worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? – Dexerto
Is Clorinde worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.7? HoYoverseClorinde is a brand-new 5-star Electro DPS unit set for release in Genshin Impact version 4.7. Here is everything you need to know about whether you should pull for her in the game. Clorinde is one of the most anticipated units in Genshin Impact. Fans have been waiting for her release since her first appearance in Fontaine during version 4.0. As such, she is set to become playable in version 4.7 and players are quite hyped. Her kit and animations have been leaked and a fair assumption can be made on whether she is worth it or not. Hence, if you are confused about whether to save for Clorinde or use all your Primogems on Arlecchino, we have you covered. Should you pull for Clorinde in Genshin Impact? Yes, Clorinde is worth pulling in Genshin Impact. She will function as a powerful DPS and will have mechanics similar to Arlecchino with the Bond of Life. When Clorinde uses her E ability, she will be able to deal increased damage to opponents depending on the level of Bond of Life. Additionally, depending on the state of Bond of Life, Clorinde will deal lunge attacks and massive AoE damage to her enemies. She will also be able to heal herself using her E ability depending on how much Bond of Life has been cleared. Clorinde also has a powerful Ultimate ability, where she will dash away and evade her enemies while dealing massive AoE damage. By using her ultimate ability, she also receives Bond of Life. Finally, Clorinde gains massive damage output through her passive ability, Dark Shattering Flame, and a Crit Rate boost through Lawful Remuneration. Overall, Clorinde is a self-sustaining unit that can deal lots of damage while also healing herself to keep her active in combat. All of Clorinde’s abilities are catered towards buffing her, and the numbers on her attacks are exceptionally high. Therefore, if you have been thinking of saving for Clorinde so far, keep doing so, as she will become the best Electro DPS unit in the game.

Is Chevreuse worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Chevreuse worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseChevreuse is a brand new 4-star unit in Genshin Impact. Here is a discussion on whether she is worth pulling or not in the game. Genshin Impact version 4.3 phase 2 banners feature both Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya. Alongside them, a new 4-star unit has been introduced in the game called Chevreuse. She is a 4-star Pyro Polearm user and has made an appearance during the story of 4.3. Even though her character received a lot of praise from fans, it is natural to question her effectiveness in battle. This is because, 4-star units are not always worth the Primogems, especially in situations when you are not targeting the 5-stars in the banner. Here is a discussion of whether Chevreuse is worth your Primogems or not in the game. Should you pull for Chevreuse in Genshin Impact version 4.3? Yes, Chevreuse is worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.3. She is one of the best 4-star units in a while and has become a top-tier character that will make a lot of teams viable. The key idea behind Chevreuse is that she revolves around the Overloaded reaction. However, if you trigger Overloaded, she reduces the Pyro and Electro resistance of enemies by 40%. Additionally, she can heal you as well which is a massive positive for any support unit in the current meta. Therefore, she can replace someone like Bennett and thereby free up that unit for other teams. Additionally, the buff Chevreuse provides is on par with Constellation 2 Kazuha (using Refinement 1 Iron Sting), which means you can free up another extremely powerful unit for more versatility. The only disadvantage of Chevreuse is that she can only work in teams that are built around Overloaded reactions. However, she buffs up the damage output of those teams to the extent that you can run those efficiently in the Spiral Abyss as well. The best team for Chevreuse will be Raiden National where you will replace Xingqiu and fully focus on the Overloaded reaction. Additionally, you can place her in a team comprised of Yoimiya, Bennett, Raiden Shogun, and Chevreuse. You can also consider running Chevreuse in the Raiden hypercarry team by dropping Kazuha. The key aspect to consider here is that you are freeing up these powerful units to run in other teams which was impossible up until this point. In short, it is quite understandable on why HoYoverse decided to put Chevreuse in the Raiden Shogun banner. At the same time, the damage boost you are receiving is quite substantial, which means the performance of the teams does not drop under any given condition. Finally, it is vital to clarify that even though Chevreuse can perform her magic at Constellation 0, she becomes even stronger at Constellation 6. This is all that you need to know about Chevreuse in Genshin Impact. If you found it informative, do not forget to check out some of our other guides at Dexerto.

Is Baizhu worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Baizhu worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseBaizhu, the Dendro healer from Liyue is set to receive a rerun alongside the Hydro Archon in Genshin Impact version 4.2. Here is a look into whether you should consider pulling for Baizhu. Baizhu before his release was one of the most anticipated units in the game. He has been present as an NPC ever since the inception of Genshin Impact. However, his release did not come until the introduction of Sumeru and Dendro into the game. Baizhu is a healer and is very good at it. However, healers do not get as much importance compared to shielders which made several players ignore the character on launch. Nevertheless, he is getting a rerun, and players might be interested in spending their remaining Primogems (after pulling for Furina), on Baizhu. Here is a discussion on whether you should consider using your Primogems for Baizhu in the game. Should you pull for Baizhu in Genshin Impact? Yes, Baizhu is worth pulling for in Genshin Impact. He can heal allies and also provide a shield that can come in clutch during fights. Now, there are two vital reasons why Baizhu is quite worth it as a unit. The first reason to consider is that he can fit into teams like Bloom and Hyperbloom very easily. In fact, if you are running the Nilou Bloom team, he can be the primary healer. Additionally, his shield is proficient in absorbing incoming Dendro damage. Therefore, the damage that you take from the exploding seeds in a Bloom team is negated. The second major reason is that he will synergize quite well with Furina. This is because Furina can increase the healing bonus of allies while also increasing their damage output depending on how many times the HP numbers of the team increase or decrease. The more this HP fluctuates, the more boosts she will provide. This means you can run Baizhu and Furina in a single team which in team quite easily. Therefore, if you have Primogems left after you are done pulling for Furina and her weapon, you can consider dropping the rest on Baizhu. This concludes all you need to learn regarding Baizhu’s worth in Genshin Impact. If you found it informative, do not forget to check out some of our other guides at Dexerto.

Is Ayaka worth pulling in Genshin Impact? – Dexerto
Is Ayaka worth pulling in Genshin Impact? HoYoverseAyaka is set to receive a rerun alongside the brand-new character Navia in Genshin Impact version 4.3. Here is a discussion on whether she is worth pulling or not in the game. Ayaka is a pretty old character at this point in the game. She was released in the first-ever patch for Inazuma which was version update 2.0. In the beginning, she was immensely powerful and was capable of carrying players single-handedly in the Spiral Abyss. However, the meta has changed a lot and with the massive influx of characters since her release and the introduction of Dendro, it is natural for players to question on whether she is worth it. As always, the discussion has been done from a free-to-play perspective where you are targeting just one copy of her without any additional constellations. Here is what you need to know about Ayaka in Genshin Impact version 4.3. Should you pull for Ayaka in Genshin Impact version 4.3? From the perspective of a free-to-play user, Ayaka is not worth the Primogems in version 4.3. There are way more powerful units in the game such as Tighnari, Alhaitham, Neuvillette, and even Hu Tao who can do a much better job than Ayaka. If you want to run a freeze composition, Wriothesley is also a much better choice compared to Ayaka. However, this condition applies only if you are running Ayaka with other free-to-play units such as Diona, Sucrose, and Barbara. If you have Shenhe, Kazuha, and Kokomi, you should go for Ayaka without a shadow of a doubt. These supports can boost Ayaka’s damage massively and she can easily match up with some of the best DPS units in the game with ease. If you have Furina, you can also go for Ayaka as you can pair them with Charlotte and Kazuha for a pretty strong team. Therefore, the question of whether you should pull for Ayaka depends on the state of the rest of your account. As a concluding statement, Ayaka is by no means a bad character. She is very good, but there are way too many options available in the current state that function better than her unless some of the aforementioned conditions are met. Lastly, if you are going for a Constellation 6 Ayaka with a Refinement 5 Mistsplitter Reforged, then she can single-handedly demolish all content in the game. This is all you need to know about pulling for Ayaka in Genshin Impact version 4.3. If you found it informative, do not forget to check out some of our other guides at Dexerto.

Is Arlecchino worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.6? – Dexerto
Is Arlecchino worth pulling in Genshin Impact version 4.6? HoYoverseArlecchino is an upcoming 5-star Pyro polearm unit in Genshin Impact. Here is whether you should consider pulling her or not in the game. Arlecchino is one of the most popular units in Genshin Impact. She was first revealed as a member of the Fatui Harbingers in A Winter Night’s Lazzo cinematic trailer. Since then, fans have waited for her to become a playable unit. As it happens, she will become one on April 24, 2024, as part of Genshin Impact version 4.6. Arlecchino will be a Pyro Polearm user, which puts her in direct competition with Hu Tao, who is one of the best DPS units in the game. Thus, as a free-to-play player, you might be eager to learn if you should use your hard-earned Primogems on Arlecchino or save them for someone else. Should you pull for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact version 4.6? Yes, you should pull for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact version 4.6. She is not just on par with Hu Tao, her kit is one of the most unique in the game. The key part of her kit revolves around the Bond of Life mechanics. When you activate her E ability, she will deal Pyro damage to all opponents and they will be inflicted by Blood Debt Directive. Now, whenever she uses her Charged Attack or her Ultimate, she will absorb the Blood Debt Directive and gain Bond of Life. This Bond of Life will drain a maximum of 80% of her HP. Once she has Bond of Life, her Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks will deal Pyro damage. Additionally, you cannot heal her through healers when she has the Bond of Life buff. Arlecchino’s Ultimate, Balemoon Rising, deals massive Pyro damage to all enemies and also heals her in that instance. The amount she will heal will depend on her Bond of Life value and ATK stats. In addition to this, Arlecchino gains a 40% Pyro DMG bonus from her passive ability. She is a complex character and will require some getting used to. However, her numbers are really good and unlike Hu Tao, she can deal damage through all her abilities. Therefore, her overall output will be more than Hu Tao’s. Should you pull for Arlecchino’s weapon in Genshin Impact? Arlecchino’s weapon is viable only on her, but she gains an immense damage output from it. The weapon will grant her a stack of Bond of Life and provide a 36% DMG bonus depending on the status of the stacks. Hence, if you want Arlecchino to deal massive amounts of damage, you should go for the weapon. In addition, the weapon has a special animation whenever Arlecchino uses it. You will not receive this animation with any other weapon.

How to set up 2FA in Genshin Impact | Two-Factor Authentication guide – Dexerto
How to set up 2FA in Genshin Impact | Two-Factor Authentication guide miHoYoGenshin Impact has finally added 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) to the game, enabling players to safely secure their accounts. Here’s how you can enable 2FA and keep any unwanted devices from accessing your account. Ever since Genshin Impact released, players have urged miHoYo to add 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) to the game. Previously, hackers had been able to access players’ accounts via phishing scams and leaked email addresses. Not only do these shady methods stop innocent players from accessing their accounts, but they also make it extremely hard for those affected to get their accounts back. This is particularly concerning, given how expensive Genshin Impact’s Wish system can be. In fact, it’s not unheard of for players to spend hundreds, even thousands of pounds on Primogems in order to get Five-star characters like Eula. As a result, many fans have been fearful of their accounts getting hacked. Fortunately, miHoYo has finally released an update that enables the use of 2FA in Genshin Impact. What is 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) in Genshin Impact? Two-Factor Authentication is a security method that allows users to access their account using another device as a login method. For example, if you log into your Genshin Impact on a new device that isn’t recognized, you’ll be sent a notification to your mobile or email account. This will provide you with a code you need to enter before you log into your account. Essentially, this stops hackers from accessing your account even if they have your email and password details. How to set up 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) in Genshin Impact If you want to set up 2FA in Genshin Impact, then you need to follow the instructions outlined below: Step One: Launch Genshin Impact. – Step Two: Login using your account details. – Step Three: Open the “Settings” menu (small cog). – Step Four: Click on the “Account” section. – Step Five: Open the “User Center” and link your mobile and email. – Once you’ve done the above steps, your Genshin Impact account will be secure. If you wish to play Genshin Impact on another device, you’ll receive an email or text message with a verification code. Simply enter this upon logging in to begin playing on a new device. How to remove any suspicious accounts in Genshin Impact If you think your Genshin Impact account has been hacked, then you can remove any unwanted devices by using the following steps: Step One: Head over to the official Genshin Impact account website. – Step Two: Login with your account details. – Step Three: Click on “Login Devices”. – Step Four: Delete any suspicious devices associated with your account. – Step Five: Create a new account password. – Be sure to use this method if you think your account has been compromised and keep your login information safe. So, there you have it, how to enable 2FA in Genshin Impact. Make sure to check out our other guides, such as our best Eula build, how to link your accounts, and the best way to get Mora.

How to process ingredients in Genshin Impact – Dexerto
How to process ingredients in Genshin Impact miHoYoGenshin Impact’s cooking system makes preparing the most useful food incredibly easy. If you’re running low on money but still want to enjoy the buffs of your favorite recipes, then all you need to do is turn to ingredient processing. If you find yourself getting bullied by Teyvat’s menagerie of enemies, then it may be time to start looking for some additional help, and good food may hold the answer to all of your problems. Different recipes provide bonuses to your character, making it easier to handle whatever the world throws at you. The catch, because there always is one, is that food either needs to be purchased from stores situated across the world or manually collected as you adventure. If you’re making Mondstadt Hashbrowns, for example, you’ll need two Pinecones, a Potato, and Jam. While you could travel all the way to The Good Hunter in Mondstadt to get your Jam, there is a much easier way to approach the task. Processing ingredients for recipes in Genshin Impact Instead of traveling around all the time, you can process your own ingredients absolutely free. In the case of the Jam needed for those hashbrowns, it’ll take 10 minutes to combine the necessary three Sunsettia, two Berries, and Sugar. To do this, approach a stove or a lit campfire and open up the cooking menu. While it will initially put you on the recipes menu, just click one page over to find the processing menu. You’ll see a number of different ingredients and how long it will take to process them. While making individual ingredients isn’t super helpful in itself, the value comes from preparing the more complex recipes, like the aforementioned Mondstadt Hashbrown, which in the Delicious form restore 34% Max HP and an additional 1900 HP on top of that. There are many different ways to apply ingredient processing to your specific needs, so pay attention to the areas where you’re falling short on stats and go out and explore Teyvat with a full belly and a clear mind.
