Genshin Impact

The release date for Gaming in 4.4 has allegedly leaked, and considering another character in the game, it makes perfect sense. Gaming is a new playable character in the upcoming Version. While he had previously been referred to as the “” by leakers, he and his design have since been confirmed by HoYoverse. Other than his Pyro Vision and outfit, however, little else is officially known about Gaming. Nevertheless, leaks have detailed nearly everything about him, including Gaming’s kit in 4.4, which highlights him as a claymore user. These leaks help give further insight into how he will operate in combat.

Some Genshin Impact leaks provide information about Chiori's kit and release date, revealing that she will be the only new character in version 4.5. Based on previous Genshin Impact leaks, it has been known that when Chiori arrives in the game, she will be available to claim through an event that promotes a pair of reruns, Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka. Multiple sources claim the character is the protagonist of version 4.5, during which players will allegedly learn fresh details about the Fontaine arc.

Genshin Impact could be adding 5-Star weapons to the in-game store, as a recent leak suggests that players will be able to purchase 5-Star weapons directly as part of a gift package. Even if it didn't come to fruition, it's no secret that the latest law proposal in China has caused the Genshin Impact community to wonder if HoYoverse would be making any changes to the game's gacha system. While there is a way to guarantee limited 5-Star characters in Genshin Impact after a certain number of pulls, no such option exists for 4-Star characters or the Standard Banner.

A recent Genshin Impact leak suggests Columbina will be playable in version 5.0 or beyond. Codenamed «Damselette», Columbina is known as Cryo Archon's elite soldier and a member of the Snezhnayab society. Due to being one of the eleven Fatui Harbingers, she possesses equal power to god-like creatures in Teyvat. Over the course of the main story, players meet some of the Harbingers; however, Genshin Impact doesn't reveal many details about these powerful characters.

Though all eyes are on Gaming and Xianyun as Version 4.4 edges closer to release, Genshin Impact players can find out an early overview of what Clorinde and Sigewinne will add to the character roster. Whereas the meta has revolved around Hyperbloom and Vaporize teams in the past year and a half, Fontaine's focus seems to be about providing alternatives in building a powerful team in Genshin Impact. Wriothesley and Furina have given Freeze new life, and Navia transformed the way people look at Crystallize shards.

A new 4.4 leak hints at a much-needed update to trial characters, which may significantly improve how players test out the characters featured in each banner. Ahead of the upcoming patch, HoYoverse’s popular RPG has been heavily hit by leaks, revealing a grand portion of the next pieces of content. This goes from new characters, like Gaming and Xianyun in 4.4, which were confirmed after some leaks, to the description of new areas, a new god, and even some new celebratory skins for beloved characters from Liyue. While new content tends to be in the spotlight, the leaks also feature some quality-of-life updates.

A few reliable sources have revealed that Genshin Impact is doubling-down on Overload as an Elemental Reaction, as Arlecchino is rumored to be an on-field Overload DPS. While Sumeru was widely praised for introducing the Dendro Element to Genshin Impact, Fontaine seems to be taking a second look at some of the more underutilized Elemental Reactions in the game. Version 4.3 saw the release of Navia, and though the state of Geo in Genshin Impact leaves a lot to be desired, the Demoiselle introduced an alternative way to use Crystallize in combat by transforming it into an offensive buff.

The gameplay kit for Gaming in 4.4 has leaked, revealing more details about his Vision, weapon type, abilities, and even Passive Talents and Constellation levels. Gaming was previously leaked as the “lion boy”, but has since been confirmed and officially announced by developer HoYoverse as Gaming. Considering his name, design, and official description, it is known that Gaming is from the Nation of Liyue and usually operates around the main city, Liyue Harbor.

Most of Xianyun’s gameplay kit in 4.4 has allegedly been leaked, even if there are still a few specifics that are being worked on by the developer, HoYoverse. This includes her Vision, weapon type, abilities, and even passive Talents and Constellations. The human form of Cloud Retainer, the crane-like adepti of the region of Liyue, made her debut as an NPC in an animated cutscene during 2023’s Lantern Rite Festival event. Now, a year later, the character has been confirmed as an upcoming playable character in Version 4.4. Xianyun is one of the new characters in the next patch, along with the 4-star Pyro unit, Gaming.

The date of the 4.4 livestream is nearly arriving as the live-service game by HoYoverse progresses further into Version 4.3. The next patch should arrive in late January if the regular six-week schedule in is to be taken into consideration and, based on that, it is possible to predict when the livestream will occur. The livestream is a special program that showcases the content that is being added with the next update. This includes an exhibition of the new characters and their gameplay abilities, a roundup of the story content and the planned events, as well as quality-of-life updates being implemented.

A new leak bodes bad news for the release date of one long-awaited playable character. The popular live-service RPG by HoYoverse has been suffering leaks for years now, most of which detail the contents of the upcoming patches. In the next update, for instance, one of the most awaited playable characters, Xianyun (Cloud Retainer), was leaked before her release was later confirmed by the developer. There have also been 4.4 skin leaks for three characters, two of which are expected to be premium items added to the in-game shop. Some of the playable content, such as new areas and NPCs, has also been revealed through leaks.

There are rumors and leaks about 4.4 that indicate players may be getting a limited free skin offer, and it may be even better than anticipated. Currently, HoYoverse’s popular RPG is in Version 4.3, but the upcoming patch is being submitted to tests and, with the data there, a lot of the future content has already been leaked. Cloud Retainer’s release date in was first leaked, and then basically confirmed by the developer nearly a month later. Some of the leaks also address a quality-of-life update for players who like to prepare several team comps for the various situations across Teyvat.

A few new 4.4 leaks revealed details about the composition of the Phase 1 character banners, and the alleged heroes for the first period of the update are lining up to be the perfect combo. While the popular action RPG is still in the midst of Version 4.3, the next patch is already getting ready to be launched and some bits of information about it are being shared by leakers. One example is the rumored addition of new areas in ’s best region. There are also some talks about a new deity being introduced during the upcoming Version, which is likely related to the aforementioned areas.

Getting Theater Tickets in is a vital part of the experience of the Roses and Muskets flagship event in Version 4.3. Theater Ticket points are, essentially, points that players obtain by participating in the event, which are then used to redeem some prizes. The event itself is set in the middle of the Fontinalia Festival in the region of Fontaine. Its main focus is the film festival, in which crews elaborate short movies in a dispute for the Furina Award. Despite this, there are several other activities that occur during the event.

A set of new 4.5 leaks has allegedly revealed some of the characters that are intended to be featured during the upcoming update. While Version 4.4 is still on its way, with several leaks of its own surrounding its impending release, the next, some details concerning Version 4.5 are starting to arise. At the moment, the vast majority of the leaks revolve around the next update, however. There have been 4.4 skin leaks, for instance, as well as mentions of an unexpected extension to a well-beloved region of Teyvat. There have even been hints at a new deity inhabiting such an area.

Muskets,” the last update of 2023 arriving on Dec 20. With the biggest crisis solved with our previous update, the people in Fontaine are now organizing a film festival to celebrate one of their most important traditions, the Fontinalia Festival!

After farming materials for her and going through Chevreuse’s character Ascension stages in , you can optimize her as the support and healer unit that she is. Chevreuse is a 4-star Pyro polearm character introduced as both an NPC and a playable character in Version 4.3. In the story, Chevreuse is the captain of a special patrol unit in the Nation of Fontaine and operates as something akin to an investigator. The 4-star hero was at the forefront of the campaign of the flagship event in 4.3, named “Roses and Muskets”, alongside Ayaka Kamisato and a list of other important characters.

Genshin Impact has over 70 playable characters, each with a unique design, personality, and kit. There’s nothing like a little competition when it comes to which character appeals to the community the most. Here are all of the most popular Genshin Impact characters ranked.

So 2023 has been a wild year in the games industry. We've seen multiple MMORPG expansions drop — and not from the genre's heaviest hitters, while the industry itself has had a banner year in the RPG genre alone. Games like Final Fantasy XVI, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and, of course, Baldur's Gate 3 dominated people's playtime this year.

Using Navia’s best character builds in along with solid team comps is a great way of maximizing her potential as a DPS hero. Navia is a 5-star Geo character from Fontaine that was first introduced as an NPC in Version 4.0. A few updates later, though, Navia has been confirmed to be a playable character in 4.3, which allows players to control her in-game and use her abilities in combat. The president of the Spina di Rosula, Navia is a capable fighter and excels at dealing damage in parties.

miHoYo’s next big update for Genshin Impact, Version 4.3, “Roses and Muskets”, goes live on December 20th. It adds Navia as a new five-star character, having played a significant role in the story till now. A new Character Demo trailer is available and highlights some of her skills as she ventures through Fontaine to catch a thief.

has just unveiled the most recent character addition to its line-up, and the new arrival has a name that's definitely going to cause some headaches. The ever-expanding roster is a major aspect of 's enduring appeal, as new updates frequently bring characters with different playstyles and personalities. Keeping track of them all can be difficult for newcomers, but the distinct names with linguistic roots in a variety of cultural inspirations can sometimes make it easier to tell them apart.

A new 4.4 leak is hinting at a new Adepti character being introduced to players. Version 4.4 is expected to arrive in late January 2024, but there have already been several leaks about the update. One such example is Cloud Retainer’s release date in , which is expected to coincide with an important event that is allegedly scheduled for the upcoming patch. These leaks have even started to reveal some details about how Cloud Retainer’s kit will work, without going into detail but giving enough information to speculate on how she operates.

Fully ascending and getting Navia to level 90 in is the best way to start to build her. Navia is a new 5-star Geo character to be added with Version 4.3. The character had already been previously introduced as an NPC throughout the course of the Archon Quests that take place in Fontaine but is not being added as a playable character with the release of 4.3. Navia is the president of the Spina di Rosula, a welfare institution in the Nation of Justice that occasionally operates as an investigative unit whenever the local Gardes do not handle such a task.

One of the best regions in may become even bigger according to some new Version 4.4 leaks. It is common for the world of Teyvat to expand every so often and it seems like a pre-existing region will be getting new extensions in the upcoming patch. Of course, this is only possible with pre-existing areas, as the new nation is still a ways off. The release of Natlan in is expected for some point in Summer 2024, so the discussed new areas expand nations that have already been explored. Fontaine is in the spotlight, considering it debuted this year and introduced new gameplay mechanics.

Fresh off announcing a release window for Zenless Zone Zero, miHoYo has confirmed that the next update for Genshin Impact will launch on December 20th. Version 4.3, “Roses and Muskets”, sees the celebration of the Fontinalia Festival. It also adds two new characters – 5-star Geo wielder Navia and 4-star Cryo user Chevreuse. Check out the first trailer below.

Most of the upcoming gameplay additions in 4.3 have been revealed by developer HoYoverse in the respective version livestream. Before each update, which tends to occur every six weeks, a livestream is held to present everything new that is coming in the next patch. Some of the main highlights tend to be new playable characters, story quests, limited-time events, and banner reruns. Lately, the game has also been focusing on a lot of system optimizations that improve players’ experience. A few leaks, such as those about the process of claiming rewards getting easier in , even turned out to be true and were confirmed during the livestream.

On December 20, Genshin Impact’s next major update — version 4.3, “Roses and Muskets” arrives, with the Fontinalia Festival event, new playable characters, quality of life and feature improvements, and more.

The 4.3 livestream codes are now live for redemption following the special program related to the upcoming patch. Every six weeks, HoYoverse’s popular action RPG receives updates that add new content to play through and, before every patch, the developer holds a special livestream to showcase the announcements and future additions. This regularly includes new playable characters, as well as story missions and limited-time events.

A set of new 4.3 leaks has been shared, revealing that a few long-awaited quality-of-life updates are finally being added to the game, which may make claiming rewards a whole lot easier. As a live-service title, HoYoverse’s popular action RPG constantly receives updates through regular patches every six weeks. While the main focus tends to be on new characters, story missions, map locations, banner reruns, and limited-time events, these updates occasionally drop in some quality-of-life features that make players’ time in the game a whole lot easier. In Version 4.2, for instance, the game received a quick-start mechanic for weekly bosses,

There are new skins in 4.4, according to a set of leaks that go so far as to describe the design of these alternate pieces of clothes. While not as popular or common as playable characters themselves, skins offer players the chance to change some heroes’ appearances, often equipping clothing that is designed differently and even boasts different color palettes than usual. So far, HoYoverse has introduced 10 different skins for characters in the game, the last ones added being Kaeya and Klee’s skins in ’s Version 3.8. Skins for 5-star characters are usually paid, while those for 4-star heroes are given for free via limited-time events.

The endgame content of includes many different activities, including one where you can get a 100% complete exploration score tied to the game's open-world areas. Anyone who has finished the main story or wants to take a break should consider roaming around Teyvat. You'll be able to pick up various loot and other useful items by simply traveling to places you've never been to before.

A new game mode has been featured in the 4.3 leaks ahead of the version’s release later in December. The upcoming patch is expected to continue the content revolving around the region of Fontaine, introduced to Teyvat earlier this year, even if it does not directly explore main campaign quests within the nation of Hydro – Version 4.2 added the last Archon Quests in the region before a pause, and properly concluded the story involving Focalors, Furina, Neuvillette, and many other heroes. As a live-service game, however, HoYoverse’s popular action RPG will continue to receive content moving forward, much of which has already been leaked.

Kirara is a four-star character in Genshin Impact who will deliver some of the best defenses and support. To maximize her abilities, players will need to know how to equip her with the best artifact and weapon options.

Solving all the Motherboard Troubleshooting circuitry puzzles in is a great way of obtaining free Primogems, as well as gathering a few Thelxie’s Badge. The Motherboard Troubleshooting game mode is part of the larger Thelxie’s Fantastic Adventures event, which is happening in Fontaine and is limited to Version 4.2. While Primogems are always the main source of attraction for most events, the availability of Thelxie’s Badge is also quite important this time around. This limited-time currency is used to get Freminet for free in 4.2 – the 4-star Cryo claymore hero is one of the prizes for participating in the event.

There are a few 4.4 leaks pointing toward a rerun banner for Xiao, and that piece of information actually aligns perfectly with another leak regarding the upcoming Version. Xiao is an Anemo DPS character from Liyue and one of the first premium 5-star heroes introduced in the game. The yaksha was first added as a playable character in February 2021 and has since had three reruns. At launch, Xiao in was highly regarded as one of the strongest DPS heroes in the game. Though that reputation has since vanished with the release of several new heroes, his next rerun may actually be his best installment.

Although not officially announced, it is possible to predict the date and time of the 4.3 livestream, as well as a portion of the content that will be presented during the event. As a live-service game, HoYoverse’s action RPG regularly receives patches – in fact, there is a six-week calendar for updates – that add new bits of playable content. This includes story missions, limited-time events, debuting playable characters, quality-of-life system optimizations, and much more. Before the patches go live, however, the developer holds a special livestream that details parts of that upcoming content.

The allegedly leaked release date for Cloud Retainer in is starting to make a lot more sense as the game pushes forward into its third year of content. As a live-service title, the action RPG constantly receives more updates, with new patches being added every six weeks. It seems like in one of the upcoming updates, however, the humanoid form of a well-known adeptus will become completely playable, ending months of waiting. Cloud Retainer’s human form in has been under debate among the community since her debut in January and, inevitably, rumors and speculation about her becoming playable have also been circling.

Bosses in are one of the best ways to farm rare materials and experience, but it can be a little tricky to find all the game's bosses without proper guidance. Each of these elite enemies has its own loot table, so killing a random boss may not warrant you the items that they need. It also costs some Original Resin to collect the rewards after a boss battle, so it is necessary to meticulously calculate how you want to spend your resources and prioritize facing the opponents that drop the items needed for the character you want to enhance.

The 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless Controller Chongyun Edition is up for preorder ahead of its launch on December 18.

The is a must-own for invested players of HoYoverse's game, featuring a slew of interesting design pieces and looks into the world of Teyvat. For a game that's become such a cultural phenomenon, peeks behind the curtain are especially valuable, and there's plenty for those who think they've seen everything that has to offer to discover in the pages of this excellently curated art collection.

The 4.3 Phase 2 banner leaks are suddenly making a lot more sense, considering another set of important leaks that have shown up. The upcoming version is going to continue the Traveler’s adventure through Fontaine, though the main Archon Quests revolving around the region’s plight have been resolved with the current update. In fact, there was a major lore bomb in 4.2 that could have great repercussions in the future. Even though the biggest compilation of leaks happened before the release of Version 4.0 and the Nation of Hydro itself, HoYoverse’s RPG is still plagued by leaked information.

Finding and collecting all the Energy Concentrating Components in can be quite a task, especially if you do not know where to start looking for them. These are quest items related to the World Quest “Road to the Singularity” and gathering all of them will allow you to unlock a special Luxurious Chest. This quest, on the other hand, was added with Version 4.1, and is part of the Nation of Hydro, also known as Fontaine in . To be more specific, the quest is located in the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region and is connected to solving the issues that take place there.

The Hydro Archon Focalors in was highlighted to a great extent in Version 4.2, the update that concludes the first part of the Archon questline situated in Fontaine. Focalors, who also goes by the name Furina in , is the second Hydro Archon in the Nation of Justice, and the successor to Egeria. The first Archon was killed during the Cataclysm, and Focalors is the only one whom the Traveler meets during their time in Fontaine. Furina is a charismatic entity with a personality that thrives on flair – however, there have been signs that there is much more to her than a love for the theatrics.

The exact release date for Natlan in is unknown, but it is possible to predict a time frame in which the new area will be added to the live-service game. Natlan is the sixth Nation of Teyvat to arrive to HoYoverse’s RPG and its reigning element is Pyro, the title’s equivalent to fire. Natlan has been mentioned a few times before and is expected to be introduced in 2024, as was previously announced by the developer in its post-release calendar. Nevertheless, it does not yet have an established release date. The focus, for now, is on Fontaine and the updates that are pertinent to the land of Hydro.

There was a major lore bomb dropped in 4.2 that revealed important details about the world of Teyvat but still instigated further curiosity by leaving some other questions unanswered. Version 4.2 is the most recent addition to the live-service game by HoYoverse, and concludes the main story arc in the region of Fontaine in , after the Nation of Justice’s debut earlier this year. Although the main focus is on the region reigned by the element of Hydro, there are other developments in the story.

Beating the All-Devouring Narwhal boss in is a crucial step for various reasons, be they progressing through the main campaign or gathering items that come as potential drops for certain characters. This boss can drop a material for Furina in , for instance, which makes the encounter an obligatory process when refining her as a character and leveling her Talents. The All-Devouring Narwhal is an immense whale-like creature that has enlarged due to recent events in the story and is now a threat to the region of Fontaine itself. The creature is directly linked to a part of the prophecy in the Nation of Justice.

The debut of Skirk in 4.2 raised many questions, especially considering how enigmatic and revolved in mystery this new character is. Skirk had been mentioned a few times throughout the campaign, but finally showed herself during the events that took place in the main Archon Quests added with the release of 4.2. At that point, players can see her full and final design, as well as an insight into how powerful she is and even a glimpse into her abilities. Illustrations based on her design had leaked previously, ahead of the release of the region of Fontaine itself.

No matter what your favorite game is or how long you’ve been gaming for, chances are that you’ve got an opinion on gacha games and mechanics. 

It’s our time, Geo mains. After nearly two years, we’re finally getting a new Geo character in Genshin Impact in Navia – and her animations look stunning. Navia uses a medley of guns and cannons in battle, as demonstrated by some new leaks that show us what we can expect.

A detailed look into Navia’s gameplay kit in has leaked, revealing information about her Vision, weapon type, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. Navia is a 5-star character that players initially meet as an NPC during the Archon Quests set in the Fontaine region. Working alongside her, the Traveler and Paimon were able to better understand the perils of the Nation of Justice, as well as see Navia’s own involvement with the Spina di Rosula, a welfare institution in Fontaine that she inherited from her late father. Now, Navia is set to become a playable character in 4.3.

Electro-Charged team comps in are a great way of dealing continuous damage to opponents. Though it is not the most popular Elemental Reaction in the game, Electro-Charged does come in handy for those who prefer dealing DoT (damage over time) effects rather than pure, straightforward damage. The reaction happens when infusing Hydro and Electro with each other. On occasion, be that via certain Domains or even limited-time events, you will be required to use the Electro-Charged Elemental Reaction so knowing what characters to use and how to build a proper team is crucial.

Chevreuse’s gameplay kit in has allegedly leaked, offering more information about how this character operates on the field. The leaks contain details about her regular attacks, her Elemental Skill and Burst, her Passive Talents, and even her Constellations. Chevreuse is a new 4-star character from the region of Fontaine. While she has not yet made her debut with the release of 4.2, she was confirmed by HoYoverse as an upcoming hero.

Everyone loves free things, right? Anyone who plays Genshin Impact knows that getting free Primogems is like Christmas, so here are all the Primogem redeem codes for November 2023.

Gathering Lakelight Lily flowers in is a very important task, especially if you are intent on leveling and ascending Furina, the 5-star Hydro Archon. Lakelight Lilies are a Local Speciality item introduced with Version 4.2 and could not be obtained prior to the release of that specific update – thus making the process of farming materials for Furina’s Ascension in a little bit more complicated, as you need to rush after these items in order to max the character’s level. Lakelight Lily is a blue-colored flower with a big bubbly bulb at the center and can easily be spotted when exploring.

By using the best builds and team comps for Charlotte in , you can significantly improve the character’s performance on the field, either as a sub-DPS or a support hero. Charlotte was first introduced as a Fontainian NPC during a limited-time event before the release of Fontaine itself in Version 4.0. She proceeded to cross paths with the Traveler and Paimon and has since been added as a playable character in 4.2. Charlotte is a 4-star hero, meaning her potential is limited in comparison to other heroes, but she is easier to obtain.

If you're looking for the best Charlotte build to get the most out of this tenacious reporter, then you're in the right place.

Utilizing Furina’s best builds, weapons, artifacts, and team comps in is the best way to enhance her presence on the field. Furina is a new 5-star character and is, in the story, the vessel of the Hydro Archon Folcalors. The character was originally introduced as an NPC in Fontaine with Version 4.0 but is now available as a playable character in 4.2. The abilities she possesses mold Furina into a duplicitous type of character, capable of acting as either a sub-DPS or a support character.

Genshin Impact is a great game to play with friends, with a robust co-op system where you can do daily quests, explore the over world, and challenge weekly bosses together. Players often would use the chat feature to communicate with one another, but recently, the community has noticed HoYoverse essentially broke the chat function by introducing new swear filters that may be just a bit too strict.

To fully Ascend Charlotte in is to unlock the path toward her best build and, subsequently, her best performance on the field. The journalist from the Steambird is known for her eccentric personality and constant search for new stories to tell via the outlet, inside Fontaine and across several other nations in Teyvat. Charlotte is one of the new playable characters in 4.2, along with Furina, the Hydro Archon. She had, however, already debuted in the game as an NPC, even before the arrival of the region of Fontaine itself.

HoYoverse has revealed more details about 4.2, including the release date, new characters and planned banners, hints about the story content, and even the upcoming events and their rewards. The popular action RPG is a live-service title, which means it constantly receives updates. With them, players can experience new story quests and partake in limited-time events. During these periods, they can also try their luck and pull for limited 5-star characters. There are two new characters in 4.2, but even though their additions are long-awaited, they are not the only important part of the update.

There is a frankly absurd number of upgrade materials in Genshin Impact, and the Guide to Freedom is one of the more important for the characters that use it.

In addition to revealing the next big update for Honkai: Star Rail, miHoYo Games also announced Version 4.2 for Genshin Impact. Launching on November 8th, “Masquerade of the Guilty”, teases consequences for Furina, the Hydro Archon, who will also be playable as a new 5-star character. Check out the trailer below.

Genshin Impact Version 4.2, “Masquerade of the Guilty”, is coming next week. Fontaine is in focus, and on the edge of a big disaster. The update will bring new zones, two new playable characters, mini games and bonuses, and a lot more on November 8th.

With Version 4.2, you will be able to obtain Freminet for free in , provided they follow the correct set of steps leading up to the unlocking stage. Freminet was first introduced when Fontaine was added to the game, with Version 4.0, and has been available ever since. Nevertheless, obtaining characters is mostly locked behind the gacha system, so not everyone has acquired the young diver. While Freminet is not among the best characters in , having him distributed for free is a great boon.

Being able to quickly gather all of Furina’s character Ascension materials in is the best way of leveling up to her full potential as rapidly as possible. Part of the process is knowing exactly what to look for and where to farm the items. Furina is not only a new 5-star character in 4.2, but also the Hydro Archon, who rules over the Nation of Fontaine. Furina has been introduced as an NPC since Version 4.0 and the arrival of the Nation of Justice as a playable area, but now you can finally take a chance of acquiring her through the gacha system.

The 4.2 livestream codes are now available, following the start of the special program. Because HoYoverse’s popular action RPG is a live-service title, the game frequently receives updates that add new content to it. The content includes new playable characters, more story missions to play through, events, and even map expansions. Before the updates go live, however, the developer holds a livestream to announce everything new in the following update. Along with the new bits of information, these special events also gift players with promo codes that can be redeemed for in-game prizes.

Genshin Impact is not getting any Halloween events this year as well, disappointing a lot of fans. However, the developers are not to blame for such dissatisfaction in the community.

If you're looking to get the most out of the showy Hydro Archon, then this best Furina build guide has everything you need to know about her artifacts, weapons, and teams.

The 4.2 livestream was postponed indefinitely by developer HoYoverse, a few hours before it started. The special event was due to happen this Friday morning (27) as a way of exhibiting all the new planned content for the next update of the popular action RPG. The game receives a new patch every six weeks and, two weeks prior to each update, HoYoverse holds a related livestream event so that players can check out the new character banners, story updates, limited-time events, and more.

The 4.3 character banners have been leaked before the version’s release later this year. With each update that the game receives, four limited-time banners are brought into the gacha system. Some of these banners feature new and exclusive 5-star characters, while others are reruns of heroes that were previously introduced as playable in the game. Now, it seems like all four heroes being featured in Version 4.3 have been uncovered. Leaks have been a steady source of information for HoYoverse’s popular action RPG for a while now, and have intensified in frequency and accuracy near the release of the Fontaine region in .

The 4.2 livestream will be a grand event for players who want to learn more about the future of HoYoverse’s popular action RPG. As a live service game, regularly receives new versions, which patch the title with more playable characters, story missions, limited-time events, and even quality-of-life updates. These patches are installed every six weeks in , but before they actually arrive, the developer holds a special livestream event to announce most of the content that will be added. The livestream is where new characters, story details, and more content expected for Version 4.2 will be officially confirmed.

Using Wriothesley’s best build and team comps in is the ideal way of optimizing his potential as a DPS and a Cryo catalyst character – the first of his kind, in fact. The Fontaine character was teased prior to the release of the Nation of Hydro, but has finally made his debut as both an NPC and a playable character in 4.1, becoming an ally to the Traveler. Wriothesley is a main DPS and, given his Vision and weapon combination, he opens up several possibilities for team comps and builds. You can focus on Cryo-based teams in a way that relies less on cooldowns and Energy.

Farming the correct materials for Wriothesley’s character Ascension in may be a time-consuming feat, but one that may prove useful in the long run, as the hero shapes up to be a unique DPS. Wriothesley was announced as a character for 4.1, along with Neuvillette. Contrary to the Chief Justice of Fontaine, however, he had not yet been introduced as an NPC.
