New characters and banners
The miHoYo team has already officially introduced two completely new heroes for the game: Furina and Charlotte. Insiders shared information about upcoming banners and the abilities of these characters.
First phase banners
According to dataminers, the following fighters will be featured in the banners in the first half:
- 5-star – Baizhu (Dendro, catalyst) and Furina (Hydro, one-handed sword).
- 4-star – Charlotte (Cryo, catalyst), Beidou (Electro, two-handed sword) and Collei (Dendro, Onion).
According to reports, Furina will be able to serve as a sub-damage dealer/healer in the squad, actively inflicting Hydro status on enemies and healing her allies. With the help of an elemental explosion, she will be able to strengthen herself and increase the bonus of the received treatment.
As for the weapon banner, you should wait for the catalyst to appear in it The Jadefall’s Splendor and the one-handed sword Glitter of Still Waters, which is the signature weapon of Hydro Archon.
Second phase banners
In the second half of the update (starting November 28), the following fighters can be released:
- 5-star – Kamisato Ayato (Hydro, one-handed sword) and Cyno (Electro, spear).
Information about four-star characters is still unknown. In "Incarnation of a Deity" you will be able to obtain the spear Staff of the Staff of the Scarlet Sands and the one-handed sword Haran Geppaku Futsu, which are the signature weapons of Cyno and Kamisato Ayato , respectively.
New locations
The developers are going to continue to expand Fontaine. This time they will add new locations in the east, moving closer and closer to Liyue. It is in this direction that the Chenyu Valley is rumored to be located, which unites the Geo and Hydro kingdoms with each other.
Insiders have already published maps of the new area with designations. The two main locations will be called “Mortai District” and “Ilyerinsky District”. Port Lumidus will also be located here, its shape reminiscent of Port Romaritime Flower. Let us add that new underwater zones will appear here, one of which will house a huge underwater tower.
New weapons
So far, two types of new weapons are known: the first will be the signature of Furina, and the second has a direct connection with the secret society Ordo Narcissenkreutz. Their approximate characteristics have appeared.
- Glitter of Still Waters (Base Attack: 44~542; Critical Damage: 19.2~88.2%) – when the hero’s current health increases or decreases, the damage from an elemental skill increases by 8-16% for 6 seconds. The bonus can be stacked up to three times and appear no more than once every 0.2 seconds. When changing the current HP of team members, the maximum health of the sword owner increases by 12-24% for 6 seconds. The bonus is cumulative up to two times and appears no more than once every 0.2 seconds. It can occur even if the Achievement: Hero is not on the battlefield.
- Sword of Narcissenkreutz (Basic attack: 42~509; Attack power: 9.0~41.3%) – if the character does not have arche, if the enemy is hit with a normal, charged or falling blow, an explosion of ushi or pneuma occurs, causing damage in the amount 160% of attack power. The effect occurs once every 12 seconds. The type of explosion depends on the type of weapon.
