The following 4-star units will receive a special rate-up: Thoma: Pyro – Diona: Cryo – Fischl: Electro – Two banner reruns: Kokomi & Raiden Shogun While Yae Miko will have her solo banner run through the entirety of Phase 1, two reruns will take place in the second half of Version 2.5: Kokomi and Raiden Shogun. It\u2019s been a few months since the two were first released \u2014 both hit live servers in September 2021 \u2014 and with the storyline circling back around to them, it makes sense to bring the duo back. More details about the Kokomi and Raiden Shogun rerun banners will be released closer to Version 2.5\u2019s launch date. New Raiden Shogun weekly boss fight Raiden Shogun will get her own weekly boss fight in Genshin Impact Version 2.5, with the yet-to-be-released Kamisato Ayato and Yae Miko rumored to utilize her item drops. Unlike her previous encounter, Raiden Shogun can be seen floating above the ground in a mechanical suit, which she uses to wield her Musou no Hitotachi. At one point, Ei even uses her Eye of Stormy Judgment to unleash a gigantic katana, slicing through everything on the screen.

New Shadowy Husk enemies Three new enemies are being added into Genshin Impact.

Three Realms Gateway Offering & Divine Ingenuity events Four events will be available to players throughout Genshin Impact Version 2.5, the two biggest of them being the Three Realms Gateway Offering and Divine Ingenuity quest lines. In Three Realms Gateway Offering, players will have to explore a new part of Enkanomiya while combating a corrosive mist that weakens their powers. However, by keeping your Bokuso Box charged and making offerings, you can cleanse it away.
