This is the Genshin Impact Tier List for Version 4.5, as of March 2024. We rate the greatest 5- and 4-star characters, as well as the top Main DPS, Sub-DPS, and Support characters, with each character receiving a C0 rating.

We update this guide regularly, so check out the most recent modifications to the 4.5 Tier List!

Genshin Impact Character Tier List

Avoid letting the order of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list stop you from selecting the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, a character’s value is also determined by their playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition.

Even if your favorite Genshin Impact character is in the lower tiers, you can still use our recommended Genshin Impact builds.

Being on a lower tier in the free PC game indicates that there are better options, or that the character requires a very specialized setup or squad to shine. We’ve spent hundreds of hours experimenting with different team combinations in Spiral Abyss to determine which characters are best in Genshin Impact.

Here are the top characters in Genshin Impact right now, set up by tier:

Tier	Characters	Notes
SS	Alhaitham, Ayaka, Bennett, Kazuha, Nahida, Yelan, Zhongli	Top-tier, universally powerful in most team compositions
S	Ganyu, Hu Tao, Kokomi, Raiden Shogun, Xiangling, Xingqiu	Extremely strong, often core units for various team strategies
A	Albedo, Arataki Itto, Cyno, Eula, Nilou, Shenhe, Wanderer, Xiao	Great picks, may offer niche advantages or excel in specific team comps
B	Ayato, Jean, Keqing, Mona, Tartaglia (Childe), Tighnari, Yae Miko	Solid characters, can be powerful but might have limitations or require specific setups
C	Diluc, Fischl, Kuki Shinobu, Noelle, Rosaria, Sucrose, Yaoyao	Decent, often overshadowed by higher tiers but perfectly usable
D	Barbara, Beidou, Collei, Diona, Gorou, Ningguang, Sayu, Xinyan	Situational, may have niche uses or require heavy investment
E	Aloy, Amber, Candace, Kaeya, Lisa, Traveler, Qiqi	Generally considered underpowered compared to other options

There are new leaks for Genshin Impact 4.6 that point to what might be an exclusive weapon for Arlecchino. This would be the first weapon of its kind in an action RPG. The game is almost done with Version 4.4 and is going on to Version 4.5, which should come out in the middle of March.

The livestream for Genshin Impact 4.5 has shown all the information about the game, including characters, events, and new information. Even so, Version 4.6 is already being hacked, and some of the leaks are about the highly awaited Arlecchino.

A new piece of information about Version 4.6 was shared by the leaker HXG and received by Uncle K. It says that Arlecchino’s signature polearm will have a special motion that will happen when she charges.

The leak said that when she uses that type of move, the lance will change into a scythe. But this only seems to happen to Arlecchino. The leaks make it clear that other characters in Genshin Impact can use her signature polearm, but it won’t turn into a scythe when they do.

Genshin Impact 4.6 Leaks Arlecchino

The rumors that Arlecchino’s signature weapon has a special motion that can only be used by her could be a way to make money.

This special animation hasn’t been blocked from any other characters besides the main unit yet, but it could be a way to subtly encourage players to spend money and try their luck to get both the limited-time 5-star character and their signature 5-star weapon in the same update.

When players get Arlecchino in Genshin Impact, they might pull out her signature weapon just for the motion. On the other hand, players who get the character’s unique 5-star weapon for its numbers and potential in battle may end up wanting to get Arlecchino to unlock the special animation, which is said to be impossible to do with any other character in the game.

Locking the full motion of a weapon behind a certain character seems more like a way to make money than a prize for players who get both of them. Thankfully, it shouldn’t change how you play Genshin Impact, but the leaks make it seem like players need both pieces to fully experience one item.

Before Version 4.6 came out, the weapon could be changed so that it always starts the special motion, no matter what character is using it.

The leak might even be wrong. This information should only be confirmed publicly during the Version 4.6 video, which should happen in the middle of April. However, as the Genshin Impact progresses in Version 4.5, more information about the next update should start to leak out.

A new Genshin Impact leak has more information about a character called Arlecchino who has already been seen in the game several times. A lot of new characters have been added because of the Fontaine arc, and most of them can already be played.

A livestream event for Genshin Impact version 4.5 that was held not long ago revealed the addition of a new five-star character from Inazuma called Chiori.

She is a famous fashion designer. There have been leaks about other characters that might be added to the list soon, even though Chiori hasn’t officially joined the live servers yet.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Leaks

A person going by the name Uncle K recently leaked (Deleted Post)  some information about Arlecchino in Genshin Impact. They say that the way she plays might be like Cyno’s.

They did say, though, that her Elemental Skill might not depend on Elemental Burst as much as his does. In her normal stance, she may be stronger than Cyno as well.

Uncle K said that Arlecchino’s Constellations might be a good buy as well. They say that it will give “high returns” and let her be used in teams that aren’t focused on Overload response.

In another set of leaks, they made it clear that Arlecchino is best used in teams that use either the Vaporize reaction or the Overload reaction… Because of this, Furina and Chevreuse are thought to be the best figures to pair with her.

Besides that, Clorinde might be an off-field Electro application and cushion that could work well with Arlecchino.

The leaker said that she might be a good unit to pull until Snezhnaya comes out because of her pull value in Genshin Impact. They say that Arlecchino is fun to play, has a large area of effect, and can change how the enemy reacts.

Arlecchino: 5⭐, Pyro, Polearm
• Works well in teams with furina/Clorinde/Chevreuse
• AoE Damage, Hits big Numbers without reactions
• Dual Blade Stance
• During Elemental Burst – She takes off her jacket

The suggested change to elemental responses might be like Nilou’s Bountiful Cores, which are Dendro Cores that have been changed.

Besides this, Uncle K answered some questions from fans about Arlecchino’s skills. Let’s look at what we learned:

• When Arlecchino changes her position, she takes her coat off. The above piece of art also shows her without a coat.
• When she changes her stance, she holds two blades instead of a Scythe, making her look like Lady Maria from Bloodborne.
• She has high raw stats and may not depend on her Elemental Burst as much as people thought.
• The new elemental response change that came with her kit might not make any sense.

The next 4.5 update for Genshin Impact will be launched in March 2024, and it will include some interesting new banners. Here’s what we know so far about the next upgrade to the popular HoYoverse title.

Genshin Impact version 4.5 will have a new character named Chiori. She is a 5-star Geo unit that will most likely serve as a sub-DPS and assist characters such as Arataki Itto and Navia. A fresh new event wish will also be introduced to the game.

All of this was disclosed on the Genshin Impact version 4.5 webcast. In case you missed it and didn’t catch up, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s what you should know about the future material in Genshin Impact version 4.5.

Genshin Impact 4.5 Banners

Genshin Impact 4.5 will introduce a new character, Chiori, as well as a few repeat units. The banners and their stages have been detailed below.

Phase 1

• Chiori (5-star, Geo, Sword)
• Arataki Itto (5-star, Geo, Claymore)

Phase 2

• Neuvillette (5-star, Hydro, Catalyst)
• Kazuha (5-star, Anemo, Sword)

The 4-star units that will appear on the banners are still unclear and will be updated at a later date.

Genshin Impact 4.5 Events

The Genshin Impact 4.5 update contains the following:

• New Chronicled Wish Banner.
• Chiori’s first Story Quest.
• Lynette Hangout Quest (Fateometer reward).
• Training Guide feature.
• Genius Invokation TCG Update (new cards, events, and challenges).
• Leyline Overflow event.
• More system optimizations (like viewing talent upgrade materials from the character menu).

In addition to this material, we’ll have the normal four events throughout 4.5. Here’s what we know about Genshin Impact 4.5’s time-limited events:

Feline Fortress Furrdyssey

Cyno would be a great admirer of the event name, but aside from the problematic spelling for the time being, Feline Fortress Furrdyssey appears to be another manage sim minigame.

Wanting to take a vacation from their adventures, the Traveler and Paimon return to Mondstadt to build up cat houses and feed them to ultimately play with them. If all the cats are befriended, a “special friend” will appear.

Alchemical Ascension

In version 4.5, we return to Mondstadt for the big event, with Lisa opening a potion shop that you may operate. This is comparable to previous management sim minigames that Genshin has released.

This time around, you may also perform requests from familiar characters to make the event simpler and gain extra goodies, such as a new 4-star polearm weapon called The Dialogues of the Desert Sages.

Rolling Crossfire

Rolling Crossfire is set in Fontaine and begins with a conversation with two guards, one of whom is, unsurprisingly, a genius. This guard provides you with a remote canon, which you must employ in Rolling Crossfire to repel an unending bombardment of Slime opponents.

It appears to be a fun spin on Space Invaders with a Genshin twist, since you may employ Elemental Reactions to score extra points and collect power-ups from the field.

The Great Fayz Reaction Debate

Fayz returns for another battle event, The Great Fayz Reaction Debate. This time, you can manipulate time after using a Skill; if you do not move after using a Skill, everything freezes, and you may capture photographs in this condition.

As for the remainder of the battle, you’ll earn Phase Force while battling, which you may use to perform missions for extra prizes.

It looks like Genshin Impact 4.6 is getting new leaks, which point to a possible new weekly boss that will break a long-standing custom. After adding the area of Chenyu Vale and Xianyun as the playable human form of Cloud Retainer, the action RPG is now in the second part of Version 4.4.

As part of the update, there was a limited-time questline and gifts for the yearly Lantern Rite Festival. Now, the game is moving toward Version 4.5, which has a lot of material that has been leaked. For example, Chiori’s Genshin Impact gaming kit got out soon after she made her statement.

All eyes are on Version 4.5, which is about to come out, but there have been reports of new Version 4.6 leaks that include exciting news and the end of an old custom. A Reddit user shared information that the leaker known as Uncle K got that Version 4.6 will add a new weekly boss.

This boss should be connected to a new place between Liyue, Sumeru, and Fontaine. Anyway, this supposed weekly boss should be the first one of its kind to come to Genshin Impact because it’s very different from the other ones that have been there so far.

Genshin Impact 4.6 Leaks

Except for Stormterror Dvalin, all of the second-weekly bosses added to the region being explored that year were linked to the area’s Archon and not part of the main story goals. Mondstadt, on the other hand, can be thought of as a training zone.

4.6 updates via Uncle K
byu/Maobury inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

Once you finish the second part of Zhongli’s Story Quest, you can access Azdaha’s fight and realm. The same thing can be said about Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto in Inazuma after Raiden Shogun’s Story Quest is over.

Last but not least, Nahida’s Story Quest opens up Guardian of Apep’s Oasis in Genshin Impact. That should be changed by Fontaine’s second boss every week.

According to the leaks, Fontaine’s second weekly boss will be released in Version 4.6. This should be in line with when most follow-up content has been released in the past.

Fontaine does not have an Archon, though, because Focalors killed herself to break the Hydro Archon’s Divine Throne and save Fontaine and its people.

In the last few seconds, bosses have all been connected to the Archons. Since Focalors is dead and Furina is now just a normal person in Genshin Impact, it’s not clear how this boss will show up.

The new weekly boss will likely have some kind of link to Neuvillette, which is the Hydro Royal in Fontaine. He is the owner of the power that was stolen and given to the Hydro Archon, even though he is not an Archon.

Now that the quest is over, his full power has been returned. Neuvillette in Genshin Impact is a likely choice for the job because of this. But the weekly boss is said to be in the area between Fontaine, Sumeru, and Liyue, so it may not have anything to do with Fontaine at all.

The new enemy might have ties to any of these three countries, or it might even have ties to Khaenri’ah, which is said to have ties to that empty spot on the map. Of course, we still need to see and prove this.

As news about Version 4.6 becomes more common, more information should be given. There should also be public proof through the Genshin Impact 4.6 livestream whenever it happens.

All the information about the Training Guide feature that will be in version 4.5 next month has been released by Genshin Impact. Early leaks made it clear that Genshin Impact update 4.5 will have less content than planned.

There will supposedly be fewer events that end at a certain time and only one new character instead of two.

But players shouldn’t worry about the lack of content because the next update will give away thousands of Primogems, promote at least four rerun units, and add some fun side quests.

Since it was first released, Genshin Impact has added some features that make life better for its players.

For example, a Claim All button for trip prizes and a Fast Equip tool for objects were just added. Additionally, the gacha-based RPG now lets you pause current tasks to continue the story in the new version.

The Training Guide feature will be added to Genshin Impact in version 4.5, according to HoYoverse. This feature helps players build their characters by giving them specific advice.

According to the description, this in-game tool gets information from server users who are currently online and gives Travelers some directions. It lists the most popular weapons for each unit and suggests artifact combinations that can make the character stronger.

The Training Guide also shows all the tools needed to improve Talents. In Travelers, this function can be found in the Paimon menu.

Other players of Genshin Impact think that the Training Guide will be useful for new players who don’t know much about how to build a character. Some people also say it will make it easier to find information about characters, objects, and Talents.

Genshin Impact 4.5 Chiori

Genshin Impact has already said that Chiori, the five-star Geo character, will be the only one with a launch banner in version 4.5. This means that all the other banners will be for units that have already been shown.

As usual, there will be two different flags that make it more likely that these fighters will be unlocked. Genshin Impact 4.5 will also add two new weapons that you can claim for a short time: Urakugo Rensai, a sword, and Dialogues of the Desert Sages, a polearm.

Geneshin Impact version 4.5 will add new side activities like making potions and petting cats, along with Chiori and her unique weapon. Beta leaks say that players will try a new game where they have to pick three ingredients to make a drink. They’ll also pet the cats that live in their teapots.

Arlecchino, the Fatui Harbinger, is one of Genshin Impact’s most popular characters. Fans are eager about her skills since she is slated to make her debut as a playable character in version 4.6.

Uncle K’s recent leaks have revealed details regarding her kit, playstyle, and fighting skills. Arlecchino is projected to be a 5-star character from the Pyro element. It is speculated that she may use a polearm resembling a scythe.

However, her kit might contain a stance alteration, allowing her to employ twin blades as well. This page will contain the most recent leaks from Uncle K regarding Arlecchino’s kit in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact 4.6 Arlecchino Ability Leaks

Recently, a leaker known as Uncle K provided some information regarding Arlecchino in Genshin Impact. They believe her playstyle may be comparable to Cyno’s.

byu/Otterlette_main inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

They did, however, point out that her Elemental Skill may not be as reliant on Elemental Burst as he is. In addition, she may be stronger than Cyno in her regular position.

Uncle K also mentioned that Arlecchino’s Constellations could be worth the investment. According to them, it will result in “high returns” and allow her to be deployed in teams that are not focused on Overload response.

more Arlecchino details via Uncle K, TL by Guoba
byu/APerson567i inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

In another batch of leaks, they underlined that Arlecchino is particularly intended to be deployed in team configurations that employ either the Vaporize or Overload reactions. As a result, Furia and Chevreuse are often regarded as the ideal characters to match with her.

Clorinde may also be an off-field Hydro applicator and buffer, which might work well with Arlecchino.

When it comes to her pull worth in Genshin Impact, the leaker stated she may be a nice unit to pull until Snezhnaya is released. According to them, Arlecchino is a blast to play, has a large area of effect, and may change emotions.

// Genshin Leaks

ARLECCHINO’S FULL CONCEPT SHEET I’M GOING INSANE pic.twitter.com/ubFC2aUTeK

— Daily Fatui women | FREE 🍉 (@DailyDamselette) June 19, 2023

The indicated change of elemental reactions may be analogous to Nilou’s Bountiful Cores, which are a variant of Dendro Cores.

Aside from that, Uncle K addressed several fan inquiries about Arlecchino’s talents. Let’s look at the insights:

• Arlecchino removes her coat as she shifts her position. Her coatless design may also be seen in her previous concept paintings.
• When her posture changes, she holds two blades instead of a Scythe, as Lady Maria does in Bloodborne.
• She may not be as reliant on Elemental Burst as predicted, yet her raw numbers are high.
• The new elemental reaction modification contained in her kit might be very ludicrous.

However, players should be aware that her beta testing has yet to begin, and numerous modifications may occur before Arlecchino appears in version 4.6.

Fans of Genshin Impact are wondering about the character banners for version 4.5. While HoYoverse has announced that Chiori will be a new Geo unit included in the update, additional repeat characters are yet to be disclosed.

Several leakers, like Randialos and Uncle YI, have supplied insight into the topic, with some hinting at a new form of banner as well.

According to the disclosures, some fan-favorite characters may return in Genshin Impact’s 4.5 update. To accommodate them, HoYoverse may include triple banners in the upcoming release.

Let’s take a look at all of the fresh leaks revealing the character banners for Genshin Impact’s 4.5 upgrade.

Genshin Impact Character Banners Version 4.5 Leaks

可能，4.5，3卡池，蒙德，混池。

— Randialos (@Randialosleaker) January 13, 2024

As previously stated, @Randialosleaker on X has disclosed that Genshin Impact may provide three character banners starting with version 4.5, which is set to be launched on March 12, 2024.

First-half banners (March 13, 2024):

• Chiori (5-star Geo Sword)
• Arataki Itto (5-star Geo Claymore)

Second-half banners (April 3, 2024):

• Neuvillette (5-star Hydro Catalyst)
• Kaedehara Kazuha (5-star Anemo Sword)

Mondstadt-themed banner:

• Albedo (5-star Geo Sword)
• Eula (5-star Cryo Claymore)
• Klee (5-star Pyro Catalyst)

Given the open-world RPG’s ever-expanding list of playable characters, this would allow HoYoverse to repeat previous characters more frequently.

This information has been certified as reliable by noted leaker Mero. They have stated that, in addition to the character banners from the first and second halves, the creators plan to release a new form of gacha banner featuring troops from the same region.

According to some leakers there actually will be a new 3rd banner in 4.5 which has 3 characters from a certain region at a time.
still kind of up in the air though. 4.6 and above is pure speculation really pic.twitter.com/506MWe1Fni

— tracer 🔶🍃 (@tracer4b) February 12, 2024

Furthermore, Uncle YI has hinted that the third style of banner in version 4.5 might be Mondstadt-based, which makes sense given that it is the first area Travelers visits in the title. They also revealed which characters may appear on it.

According to Uncle YI, the Phase I banners will feature Chiori, the newest arrival, as well as Arataki Itto, an incredible Geo DPS. The Phase II banners may include the first iteration of the Hydro DPS Neuvillette, as well as the reappearance of the Anemo support, Kaedehara Kazuha.

Furthermore, the purported Mondstadt-themed banner will enable gamers to gain Albedo, Eula, and Klee.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world RPG that has taken the gaming world by storm. The game is developed by miHoYo, a Chinese studio that is also known for the Honkai Impact series.

The game features a vast and beautiful world inspired by various cultures and mythologies, a diverse and charming cast of characters, an engaging and immersive story, and a dynamic and fun combat system that allows you to switch between different characters and elements.

Genshin Impact is also a cross-platform game, which means that you can play it on different devices and with different players. You can also transfer your progress and data across different platforms, as long as you use the same miHoYo account.

Genshin Impact Platforms

Genshin Impact is currently available on four major platforms: PC, mobile, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. However, the game is not available on Xbox, and there is no official confirmation or announcement from miHoYo about bringing the game to Xbox in the future. Here are the details of each platform that Genshin Impact is available on:

• PC: Genshin Impact is compatible with any PC running the Windows operating system. You can download the game from the official website or the Epic Games Store.

Conclusion

Genshin Impact is a fantastic and fun game that you can play on various platforms, such as PC, mobile, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. You can also enjoy the game with cross-platform gaming, which allows you to play the game on different devices and with different players.

A fresh leak from Genshin Impact reveals four quality-of-life changes that will purportedly be included in update 4.5. Genshin Impact just added some long-awaited quality-of-life upgrades to its systems, including an artifact auto-lock option and an expanded number of party slots.

These modifications have simplified players’ lives and eliminated drudgery in a variety of tasks. Fortunately, the devs appear keen to incorporate more of them into future versions.

Genshin Impact is jam-packed with material that requires players to fulfill various objectives and explore dreamy areas. The action-packed game focuses on repeating PvE activities like side missions and the Spiral Abyss, which reward Travelers with Primogems for their efforts.

The beautiful world of Teyvat, divided into kingdoms with a variety of adversaries and friendly NPCs, adds to Genshin Impact’s appeal.

A recent Genshin Impact leak from MadCroiX teases various quality-of-life enhancements for 4.5, including the quest navigation mechanism, which will now follow the map layer. A new “highest quality” level option will be offered in the graphic settings, and players will use the “Training Guide” feature to get a broad sense of unit strength.

In more detail, the Training Guide will divide character competency into levels and disclose statistics on weapon usage rates for characters. Furthermore, it will make recommendations for optimal artifact configurations.

Genshin Impact Leaks 4.5

• The ability to pet cats in the Serenitea Pot realm
• The Training Guide feature divides characters into categories based on their strength.
• Highest quality option for graphic settings
• Overhauled quest navigation feature, which follows the corresponding map layer.

According to the leak, Serenitea Pot will let players pet cats in Genshin Impact version 4.5. This quality-of-life element has nothing to do with gaming, but it will gratify certain cat lovers. These features are likely to be discussed separately shortly.

Genshin Impact’s Serenitea Pot is a secret world that may be unlocked by earning Adventure Rank 35. There, players can utilize blueprints to build a variety of furnishings and create their own cozy home.

It serves as Genshin Impact’s housing system, enabling Travelers to construct a variety of constructions, including castles and temples.

Genshin Impact version 4.5 will have a Geo character, Chiori, who is said to have a distinct combat posture from all other playable units. Several leakers stated she would be the first dual-wielding unit to employ two similar weapons in combat.

The character does damage per her ATK and DEF stats. In addition, she can summon Geo constructs that slash at adjacent adversaries. Details on Chiori’s kit have not been published, therefore these leaks may still be incorrect.

Clearwater Jade got its name from its cold, refreshing touch, which is similar to clean water in Genshin Impact. It is a local specialty utilized to level up characters such as the well-known Cloud Retainer, also known as Xianyun.

While exploring Liyue’s highlands, particularly Chenyu Vale: Southern Mountain, you’ll find that practically all of the accessible Clearwater Jade grows near a source of water.

However, don’t be misled by its appearance; it’s really difficult, and extracting the local specialty with a Geo character is much easier in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Clearwater Jade Location

Over 60 Clearwater Jades can be found spread over Liyue’s western mountains. Some of the local specialties are buried in an underground cave or grow on the back of a turtle. Furthermore, a few of the Clearwater Jades are only available after completing a short puzzle in Genshin Impact.

To make the collection procedure easier, include Qiqi or Yanfei in the party, as both have the passive ability to mark Liyue’s local specialty on the mini-map. As usual, local specialties such as Clearwater Jade in Genshin Impact respawn after 48 hours.

Mt. Xuanlian and Yaodie Valley

Starting from the Mt. Xuanlian waypoint, proceed west to collect six Clearwater Jades. Continue northeast towards the river, picking up three things, then two to the north.

You should be close to another waypoint by now. Go north along the water and get four local specialties, then proceed west to a cave near Yaodie Valley to get three more.

Now, go to Mt. Xuanlian’s western waypoint to get one Clearwater Jade, then teleport back to the north waypoint and glide east down the cliff to locate four Jades in a small cave.

Chizhang Wall

From the waypoint east of Chizhang Wall, head west towards the Solitary Suanni Boss in Genshin Impact, then north to acquire four Clearwater Jades, and then west to get two additional items.

Next, go to the Statue of the Seven and head north to the three local specialties. Fast travel to the northern Chizhang Wall waypoint and head southwest into a cave to find two Jades.

There are three additional Clearwater Jades in this location, but they are sealed behind a mountain barrier. To get there, go to Waypoint Northeast of Jademouth and glide west to the top of the fractured ring to find a yellow ball puzzle in Genshin Impact.

Interact with it to be thrown towards the barrier, which ultimately unlocks and reveals three Clearwater Jades and a Luxurious Chest.

Teatree Slope

Fast forward to the Statue of the Seven, northeast of the Teatree Slope, and grab a nearby local dish. Head south towards the beach to collect seven more Jades, some of which are on top of turtles.

Teleport to the Teatree Slope waypoint and collect three Clearwater Jades southeast before gliding down north to grab two. Proceed southwest to find three further things.

Mt. Lingmeng

From Mt. Lingmeng’s southern waypoint, head north/northwest towards the cave entrance to discover two local specialties in Genshin Impact. Travel to the north waypoint and then northwest for two items.

Finally, proceed to the waypoint east of the Yilong Wharf and head all the way north to the beach to get a stone slab. Read it and wait for Paimon to clarify the steps before climbing the hill to throw some raw meat.

After a while, a gigantic turtle appears with six Clearwater Jades on its back, rewarding you with the Genshin Impact accomplishment What About Sliced Meat Now? The final Jade in this area may be found on the back of a turtle, east of the previous location, near a Luxurious Chest.

Genshin Impact will shortly release Xianyun and Gaming as part of its 4.4 Lantern Rite upgrade. It will transport the Traveler and Paimon back to Liyue for the annual festival.

However, little is known about where the narrative would go after the celebrations. Given that the upgrades after version 4.5 will be critical in establishing the stage for Natlan, some players may be wondering about what to expect from the game.

This article presents a roadmap for Genshin Impact, encompassing leaks for all versions from 4.5 to 5.1. We also look into new characters and prospective questlines, as disclosed by renowned leakers.

Genshin Impact 4.5 To 5.1 Leaks

The most recent leak from @white__fx1 on X has given light on what to expect from Genshin Impact’s future releases. To make things easier for the reader, let’s look at each version separately.

#原神 #Genshin SuS #Leaks #Skirk #Clorinde #Sigewinne #Dahlia #Xbalanque https://t.co/fscF2zXFEo pic.twitter.com/y7IYnKntSE

Genshin Impact has officially announced that Chiori will be the next 5-star character in the 4.5 release. According to leaks from hxg_diluc and GenshinMeow, Albedo, Itto, and Kazuha may also have reruns in the patch.

The Knave, also known as Arlecchino, is slated to be released with the 4.6 update. The Fatui Harbinger is said to be a 5-star Pyro unit with a sickle-shaped Poleram.

According to leaks, Arlecchino could be a DPS whose Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst may alter her playstyle and inject Pyro into her Normal Attacks. She is set to team up with Chevreuse and Yelan.

According to White, the main plot in version 4.7 will introduce the dark knight, Surtalogi. It would be the first time players will meet Skirk’s master and potentially learn more about the Abyss.

According to leaks, Clorinde and Sigewinne may make their debut as playable characters in the 4.7 release. Both are scheduled to receive their story objectives.

Version 4.8, which is expected to be the final patch before Nathan appears in Genshin Impact, may transport Travelers to another limited-time map expansion, similar to Golden Apple Archipelago and Veluriyam Mirage. It will introduce the Fontainian perfumer Emilie and give new information about the elusive Hexenzirkel.

The 5.0 update will finally include the Natlan region in the game. The Pyro nation, rumored to be modeled on South American tribe territories, will be the sixth country encountered by the Traveler on his voyage across Teyvat.

The legend is also anticipated to be inspired by the Mayan Sun God.

Xbalanque is the second Natlan character to be teased in the Genshin Impact plot. According to the most recent White leaks, he could be a new 5-star character set to release in version 5.1.

According to the information, he should be a dark-skinned adult male with Pyro eyesight. It is possible that he is akin to Bennett and is Natlan’s strongest character.

The release date for Genshin Impact 4.4 is coming, and the update will feature new characters Xianyun and Gaming.

Genshin Impact version 4.4 is planned to be released on Wednesday, January 31, but due to timezone gaps in Chinese developer Hoyoverse’s maintenance schedule, it will arrive the night of Tuesday, January 30. The official launch time is 7 p.m. PT, 10 p.m. ET, and 3 a.m. GMT (January 31), however, fresh versions frequently arrive up to 30 minutes before.

The stars of version 4.4 are the new five-star character Xianyun and the four-star character Gaming (pronounced Gah-ming), who will appear in the first part of the update. Xianyun will feature with a replay of the Dendro Archon Nahida, whose four stars are Gaming, Faruzan, and Noel.

Xianyun is a new Anemo healer with a distinct elemental burst that allows anybody in your party to jump high enough to conduct diving attacks. She also increases plunge attack damage and heals your entire team, allowing for thrilling combos with characters like Xiao (the prime plunge attacker), Furina (who prefers team-wide healers), Diluc (who has a well-known high plunge attack value), and many others.

Her Anemo type also allows her to use the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, which buffs any Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo damage dealers. Gaming, on the other hand, is a Pyro DPS character with unique plunge attacks that are linked to his skill and burst, making him an ideal match for Xianyun.

Note that Gaming will be one of the characters available in the free four-star invite included with the Lantern Rite event in version 4.4, so if you don’t desire any of the other characters, you’ll be able to get him even if you don’t get him while rolling for Xianyun or Nahida.

The second part of the update will have replays of Xiao, who is an excellent fit for Xianyun teams, and Yae Miko, who works well with Nahida for off-field Quicken damage.

Hoyoverse said today that update 4.5 will include new Geo character Chiori, who is expected to be a five-star unit based on her role in Fontaine’s tale and the fact that no other new characters will appear in the game’s next version.

HoYoverse has announced the development of two new technological features: Global Far Fog (GFF) and Gradient Tint Rock (GTR), which will be included in the next Genshin Impact 4.4 release.

Its goal is to represent the hills, valleys, clouds, and mist in the new Chenyu Vale location in a style comparable to classic Chinese shan shui paintings to improve the gaming experience.

Fortunately, these graphic settings will be available on PlayStation and PC, as well as a simplified version for mobile. This page will explain everything Genshin Impact players need to know about Global Far Fog and Gradient Tint Rock, as well as the difference between using them and the default settings.

Genshin Impact 4.4 Graphics Update

As previously stated, the creators have created two new technical elements in Genshin Impact named Global Far Fog (GFF) and Gradient Tint Rock (GTR). This aims to recreate the mountains, valleys, waterfalls, mist, and clouds in Chenyu Vale in a style comparable to shan shui paintings, resulting in a more immersive gaming and exploration experience.

While the Global Far Fog function is enabled, the Volumetric Fog’s density will vary as it passes through different locations.

The valley’s low and tight portions are cloudy, and there is light mist in the wide areas with Global Far Fog enabled, providing gamers with the greatest Chenyu Vale experience. Meanwhile, the lower parts of the valley are covered in a light mist, and everything is visible in regular settings.

Similarly, the Gradient Tint Rock feature allows travelers to observe distinct color gradients in the rocks and mountains based on altitude, distance, and structure. When the GTR setting is enabled, the leafy areas and summit appear dark cyan and green, while the bare trails and lower parts appear tan.

Travelers should activate the Global Far Fog and Gradient Tint Rock settings before reaching the peaks of Mt. Mingyuan and Mt. Lingmeng to appreciate the panoramic views of Chenyu Vale.

The features will be available on PC, PlayStation, and mobile (simplified version) after the Genshin Impact 4.4 update is released. Unfortunately, it is unclear whether these technical elements will be implemented in other sections of the map.

Genshin Impact creators just released the 4.4 Special Programme, which announced the return of the Lantern Rite event. They also disclosed that new cosmetics will be offered for three characters from Liyue Harbour: Xingqiu, Ganyu, and Shenhe.

These troops will receive what appear to be four-star skin suits. It’s worth noting that prior Lantern Rite events have featured themed attire for this title’s characters.

According to an official statement, users would need to complete Lantern Rite challenges to receive Xingqiu’s skin for free. Meanwhile, Shenhe and Ganyu’s clothes are only available by swapping Genesis Crystals at the shop. This article will tell you all you need to know about the new Genshin Impact 4.4 skins.

Genshin Impact 4.4 Character Outfits

The Genshin Impact 4.4 webcast revealed the return of Lantern Rite in Liyue Harbour, implying that this content will include new game types to explore and enjoy. You will also be able to perform several event challenges, which will reward you with event currency that can be used to purchase exciting in-game stuff.

The official X post above features new clothes for Xingqiu, Ganyu, and Shenhe, each with their splash graphics.

• Ganyu’s new outfit “Twilight Blossom”
• Shenhe’s new outfit “Frostflower Dew”
• Xingqiu’s new outfit “Bamboo Rain”

All of these appear to be 4-star skins without special effects, similar to Diluc’s skin. And now that it’s out of the way, we’ll look into how to purchase these cosmetics.

How can I get Xingqiu, Ganyu, and Shenhe’s new skin suits in Genshin Impact 4.4?

Let’s start with Xingqiu “Bamboo Rain,” which is easily accessible. Lantern Rite will have three new gameplay types. Each will have its own set of event challenges that you may accomplish to earn the event cash.

Once players have accumulated enough of this cash, they can proceed to the event page to obtain Xingqiu’s new costume. After this event, the cosmetic will remain in-game but must be purchased using 1,680 Genesis Crystals.

During Lantern Rite, Ganyu and Shenhe’s new skin clothes will be available for purchase in the character outfit shop indefinitely.

Cloud Retainer commissioned both skin suits just for the momentous flagship event. They will be published alongside Genshin Impact’s 4.4 update and will be sold at a discount until March 11, 2024. During this time, any outfit is available for the reduced price of 1,350 Genesis Crystals.

Following the sale time, Ganyu and Shenhe’s clothes can be purchased for 1,680 Genesis Crystals each. Fortunately, you can purchase Genesis Crystals in-game.

Columbina, also known by her code name Damsellette, was introduced to the universe of Genshin Impact in the “A Winter Night’s Lazzo” teaser. She is the third Fatui Harbinger and is rumored to have god-like powers. Columbina was depicted in the teaser resting on Signora’s coffin, singing what is now known as the “Elogia Cinerosa.”

After experiencing five Harbingers in various sections of Teyvat, the Traveler will almost certainly face the most dangerous one yet in Natlan. Columbina’s release may be sooner than expected, according to suspected leaker Black Rose on X, as she has been speculated to arrive with or after Natlan’s release in Genshin Impact 5.0.

The Natlan region is projected to be received by Genshin Impact on August 28, 2024.

Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Columbina’s Release

As previously stated, the leak indicating Columbina’s release in Natlan comes from a user known as Black Rose. This leaker has some respect in the community because they also revealed the playable name of Cloud Retainer and precisely detailed her kit before the beta was released. Because the original post is not in English, not much can be gleaned from it.

The following Reddit post was created using machine translations of the original deleted post.

Readers should be aware that neither Columbina’s order of appearance nor her playable kit has been verified. According to official reports, she was wearing a white coat and had long black hair, with her eyes stitched shut.

Columbina spoke briefly in the teaser, where she had a fascinating interaction with Dottore, aside from her singing voice.

On Columbina, both playable Harbingers, Tartaglia and Wanderer, share the same sentiment. Both warn the Traveler about her and advise him to maintain his distance.

Columbina will be the fourth Harbinger to become playable in Genshin Impact, joining Tartaglia, Wanderer, and Arlecchino in one of the next releases, according to leaks about the release date.
