Lyney will be released in the upcoming update 4.0. Then, Wriothesley and Neuvillette will become playable in update 4.1. Get to know their role and prepare for their banners now.

I. Lyney's Best Role

Lyney is an excellent bow PDS character in Genshin Impact 4.0 with powerful charged attacks and elemental bursts. His Charged Attack will drain out his HP. Therefore, he should go with a healer like Bennett. Besides, Xiangling and Kazuha are two great members of Lyney's team.

Lyney In Genshin Impact
Lyney can play as the main Pyro DPS for a Pyro team with Xiangling, Bennett, and Kazuha.

His elemental burst will turn Lyney into a cat hiding inside his hat while dealing damage to surrounding enemies. Moreover, this Pyro DPS also has an AoE elemental skill to mark many opponents with Pyro auras to trigger Pyro resonance and other elemental reactions. The First Great Magic - the signature bow of Lyney is the best weapon for this role.

II. Bes Roles Of Wriothesley

Wriothesley is a duke in Fontaine and the commander in the Fortress of Meropide. His mighty metal fist of this man can make the most stubborn criminals behave well. This Cryo character is compared with Heizou who also has elegant and mighty fisticuffs.

Genshin Impact Wriothesley
Wriothesley is a powerful Cryo sub-DPS or main DPS in many teams.

Wriothesley can play as an on-field Cryo DPS/sub-DPS character for the Melt team with his kit. When unleashing his elemental skill, this Cryo character will enter a Chilling Penalty state and unleash more dangerous kicks. His elemental burst unleash an AoE Icicle Impact attack followed by a Surging Blade with Ousia energy.

III. Recommended Roles For Neuvillette

Like Wriothesley, Neuvillette is a reliable on-field DPS character scaling on max HP and the unique damage mechanism of the charged attack. He unleashes a Hydro ring dealing AoE Hydro DMG to enemies while consuming stamina.

Besides, he has Equitable Judgment charged attack dealing continual Hydro DMG to targets straight forwards without consuming stamina. But it drains his HP continually if the HP bar is over 50%.

Neuvillette Genshin Impact
Neuvillette can play as a Hydro DPS or Hydro applicator.

Both the Elemental skill and burst of this character deal AoE Hydro DMG to the opponents in the range of attack. Therefore, he can play as a Hydro applicator to apply the Hydro element to a large enemy mob to trigger many powerful reactions, such as Bloom, Hyperbloom, Frozen, Vaporize, etc. This character can also support Pyro, Electro, Dendro, and Cryo DPS in your team.

These three Fontaine characters will come to the game in Genshin Impact updates 4.0 and 4.1. Just prepare Primogems to roll these DPS and sub-DPS characters if your team still has a vacancy for them.

Marechaussee Hunter is an upcoming artifact set in Fontaine. Let's check out the top 5 optimal wielders of this new artifact here.]]>

Marechaussee Hunter is an upcoming artifact set in Fontaine. It's expected to buff new characters from this nation, such as Lyney, and some old-but-gold 5-star DPS units in the game. Let's check out the top 5 optimal wielders for it here.

Table of Contents

  • #1. Lyney
  • #2. Xiao
  • #3. Hu Tao
  • #4. Kamisato Ayato
  • #5. Yoimiya

#1. Lyney

Lyney is the new character in Genshin Impact 4.0. This new artifact set seems to be the best gear for him in Update 4.0.

  • When using a 2-piece set, use his Charge Attacks more frequently to optimize Marechaussee Hunter's buffs.
  • A 4-piece set of Marechaussee Hunter buffs the Crit Rate for his burst when Lyney's HP increases or drops.

It's the best artifact for Lyney now. It's better to use 4 pieces of this artifact set for him and bring a healer, such as Baizhu and Kokomi to recover his HP before unleashing his elemental burst.

Genshin Impact Lyney
Lyney can take advantage of both 2-piece and 4-piece sets.

#2. Xiao

Xiao is old but gold. This Anemo DPS can play the role of a main on-field DPS with powerful plunge attacks during his elemental burst. Therefore, a Crit Rate buff from a full set of 4 Marechaussee Hunter pieces is ideal for him.

When you equip 2 pieces of this artifact for him, start with his Normal and Charged Attacks before unleashing the Plunge Attack combo to optimize its effect.

Xiao Genshin Impact
This new artifact is also beneficial for Xiao.

#3. Hu Tao

Hu Tao is the best on-field DPS and one of the best users for a full set of 4 Marechaussee Hunter pieces. This set will buff her elemental burst greatly as her burst will deplete the HP of this character that meets the requirement to trigger the Crit Rate buff of this artifact. However, this effect only last 5 seconds.

Alternatively, you can use 2 pieces of this set with 2 pieces of Crimson Witch of Flames artifact. This new gear can be an ideal artifact for this Pyro DPS.

Hu Tao Genshin
It's also good for main DPS units like Hu Tao.

#4. Kamisato Ayato

Ayato also plays as the main on-field DPS in Genshin Impact's Hydro teams. He can benefit from a DMG bonus from Marechaussee Hunter. He must take damage to trigger the Crit Rate buff of this artifact set.

As an on-field DPS, this requirement can be easily fulfilled. A 2-piece Marechaussee Hunter set is also an ideal option for Ayato as his Normal Attack is the main source of his damage.

Ayato Genshin Impact
Ayato also benefits from this artifact.

#5. Yoimiya

Like Lyney, Yoimiya is also a 5-star Pydro bow wielder. Her damage output also comes from her Charged Attack and Elemental Burst. But she also needs to take damage to trigger the Crit Rate bonus. Therefore, Yoimiya should stay on the field for a while before unleashing her elemental burst.

These characters can benefit from damage buffs of this artifact set well. Just prepare a strong team to farm these artifact pieces for them when update 4.0 is released.

Yoimiya Genshin Impact
Yoimiya is also one of the best users of this new gear.

<![CDATA[5 Reasons Why You Should Pull Lyney In Genshin Impact 4.0]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/5-reasons-why-you-should-pull-lyney-in-genshin-impact-4-0-22716 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 16:35:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/5-reasons-why-you-should-pull-lyney-in-genshin-impact-4-0-22716
Check out 5 reasons why you should get Lyney in Genshin Impact update 4.0 which is arriving soon.]]>

In the upcoming update 4.0 in Genshin Impact, you'll encounter the enigmatic magician at the forefront – a Pyro specialist who captivates with a dazzling array of explosive area-of-effect maneuvers hidden up his sleeves. Many users are wondering whether they should spend their Primogems on Lyney Genshin Impact.

Is Lyney a good character? Why should you pull him and what will make him worthwhile?

1. Reasons to pull for Lyney

First Fontaine 5-star character

It is known that Lyney will be the first and only 5-star character in version 4.0. He may appear in the first half of version 4.0 along with Yelan.

Furthermore, Fontaine is expected to introduce many new unique movement mechanics, so a character originating from Fontaine could be useful in various aspects of movement, storyline experiences, and more.

Lyney owns new mechanics

Genshin Impact will introduce two new mechanics called Ousia and Pneuma, which hold significant roles in battles and exploration. These effects will exclusively appear within the skill set of Fontaine characters.

According to recent leaks, the Ousia and Pneuma effects might be added to The Chasm and persist across all upcoming patches for Fontaine. Therefore, having a new character from Fontaine will give players an edge compared to the majority of other players.

Lyney Genshin Impact
Should you get Genshin Impact Lyney in version 4.0?

Lyney is F2P-friendly

Lyney's skill set might be very suitable for F2P players as the primary damage source of the illusionist Fontaine comes from charged attacks, similar to Amber or Ganyu.

Furthermore, 4-star weapons like Prototype Crescent or The Stringless would also be well-suited for Lyney, as both of these weapons greatly enhance the effectiveness of charged attacks.

Moreover, national characters like Xiangling or Bennett are especially compatible with Lyney. These characters can synergize to boost damage through their respective elemental resonance and abilities.

A decent Pyro unit

Recent information reveals that Lyney boasts substantial damage and compatibility with various existing Pyro characters in the game.

Besides, Genshin Impact has introduced only a few Pyro DPS characters in recent updates, namely Yoimiya and Hu Tao. If there is a shortage of strong Pyro DPS characters and an abundance of Pyro support characters, it would be wise for players to consider acquiring Lyney to fill that role.

Genshin Lyney
Lyney might be a good Pyro unit for Spiral Abyss and other functions in the game.

Interesting gameplay

Lyney brings an engaging gameplay experience and a unique fighting style by transforming into a playing card during normal attacks. He also turns into a Grin-Malkin Hat upon activating the Elemental Burst.

What's remarkable is that Lyney also possesses the ability to summon the Grin-Malkin Hat through a powerful charged attack, a move that can draw attention and discomfort the nearby enemies, providing a significant advantage in battles. Furthermore, he can self-heal and accumulate energy through their elemental skill.

2. Genshin Impact Lyney banner release date speculation

Anticipated to align with the 4.0 update, the Lyney banner is projected to launch on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. It is also foreseen that within this banner, alongside Lyney, Lynette, a four-star character proficient in Anemo and Sword techniques, will likely make an appearance.

Let's check out the top all-time best Genshin characters who are still reliable here. These five characters still remain helpful in the current game meta.]]>

A lot of new Genshin Impact characters have been introduced. But these five characters still remain helpful in the current game meta. Let's check out the top all-time best Genshin characters who are still reliable here.

Table of Contents

  • #1. Zhongli
  • #2. Ganyu
  • #3. Raiden Shogun
  • #4. Kaedehara Kazuha
  • #5. Xingqiu

#1. Zhongli

The Geo Archon remains the best shielder in Genshin Impact till now, even at C0. Moreover, his Geo pillar summoned by his elemental skill can shred the elemental shield of enemies to deal higher damage to them.

Zhonglis Skill
Zhongli's skill can burst provide a reliable shield and DMG buffs. 

This shield is very necessary for on-field characters who need to stay on the battleground to unleash attacks. His elemental skill also damages enemies massively. He often plays as the sub-DPS in aggressive teams to counter big bosses in Spiral Abyss.

#2. Ganyu

Ganyu is one of the most reliable Cryo DPS units with AoE elemental skill and burst. Her AoE attacks can mark a large number of enemies with Cryo auras and trigger continual Frozen, Melt, and Superconduct reactions.

Ganyus Ice Lotus And Pearl
Ganyu's ice lotus and pearl deal AoE Cryo DMG and Application to enemies.  

Her ice lotus and sacred Cryo pearl are still active when she is off-field, making Ganyu an excellent off-field DPS unit. Moreover, her charged attack deals significant damage when she is on-field. So, you can use her as the main damage dealer when countering flying bosses.

#3. Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun remains a Meta DPS throughout many updates as her element is aggressive. She can trigger many formidable elemental reactions when cooperating with Dendro, Pyro, Hydro, Hydro, and Dendro or Bountiful Cores. Electro resonance is also a powerful reaction.

Raiden Shogun In Meta
Raiden Shogun can recharge everyone's burst. 

The Electro Archon can create tons of elemental particles to charge energy for her teammates. That's how she remains one of the best meta-involved characters in the game up to now.

#4. Kaedehara Kazuha

Kazuha is always the most picked character throughout several Spiral Abyss seasons due to his shield-shredding skill and crowd-control ability. His elemental skill can gather and throw enemies into the air.

Kazuha Is A Meta Sub Dps
Kazuha is a meta sub-DPS and top-picked character in Spiral Abyss. 

Moreover, his wind swirls can shred solid shields of Abyss Mages to deal high damage to them. When unleashing the elemental burst, Kazuha can spread the AoE of active elements on the battleground. Therefore, he is always one of the top-picked sub-DPS and supporters in Spiral Abyss.

#5. Xingqiu

Xingqiu was released very early in the game. When a lot of old characters have gone out of the meta, this Hydro sub-DPS is still trusted like a 5-star Hydro unit in many teams, especially the national team.

Xingqiu Is The Best 4 Star Character
Xingqiu is one of the best 4-star characters.

Xingqiu is not good for the Hydro application role but he also provides moderate damage reduction with his sword shield. Moreover, his elemental burst also has a slight healing effect. Though his ability and power are comparable with a 5-star Hydro unit, Xingqiu's kit is cheaper to build and optimize.

<![CDATA[Genshin Impact Mona Vs. Kokomi: Who Is The Better 5-Star Hydro Catalyst Character?]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/genshin-impact-mona-vs-kokomi-22682 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:22:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/genshin-impact-mona-vs-kokomi-22682
Kokomi and Mona are two outstanding Hydro Catalyst supporters in Genshin Impact. Let's compare Mona vs. Kokomi to pick the better one for your teams here.]]>

Genshin Impact has introduced many characters with the same rating, weapon, and vision, making players confused when choosing the better one for their team comps. Let's compare Mona vs. Kokomi to pick the better one for your teams here.

Table of Contents

  • I. In Open World
  • II. In Spiral Abyss
  • III. Better Options For Team Comps

I. In Open World

Kokomi and Mona are two outstanding Hydro Catalyst supporters in Genshin Impact. They are also good for open-world exploration but for different roles.

  • Kokomi is a good healer for open-world combat. She also contributes more damage and support for teammates than Mona, especially in Co-Op mode. She increases the survivability of the whole team.
Sangonomiya Kokomi Genshin
Sangonomiya Kokomi is good for combat in the open-world exploration adventure.
  • Mona is good at moving around with her Alternative Sprint skill which lets her move on the water's surface. Her Alternative Sprinting skill lets her move quickly as a flow of water on the flat terrain surface.

Both of them can apply Hydro to trigger powerful elemental reactions. But Kokomi outperforms Mona in the role of a Hydro enabler.

Genshin Impact Mona
Mona is an ideal character for exploring and traversing the map and water bodies in Teyvat.

II. In Spiral Abyss

Kokomi and Mona have unique and helpful techniques and mechanics to support their teams in Spiral Abyss. Let's compare their advantages for this challenge mode to pick the better one here.

#1. Internal Cooldown (ICD)

Every attack in Genshin Impact has ICD. It means that some elemental attacks of your characters won't apply elements to the hit target. Most Genshin Impact characters get a standard ICD of 2.5 seconds or every 3 hits.

  • Mona has the standard ICD. So, the fourth attack of this character does not unleash the element. It interrupts her in applying Hydro elements for the team during combat.
Mona Icd Mechanics
Mona's ICD mechanics interrupt her Hydro elemental application.
  • Kokomi does not suffer from ICD. Therefore, she can apply more Hydro than Mona. Her Hydro jellyfish can stay on the ground for a long duration. Moreover, her elemental burst can refresh the active time of her elemental skill.

Kokomi surpasses Mona in the role of Hydro enabler in Spiral Abyss. She can enable more elemental reactions than Mona. Moreover, their off-field Hydro application skills are reliable.

Kokomi Icd
Kokomi is not affected by the ICD mechanics.

#2. Mona’s Omen

Mona's burst, Stellaris Phantasm, trigger Illusory Bubble and Omen buffs. Targets hit by Illusory Bubble will get increased damage. The Omen DMG bonus mechanics starts right after you activate her burst. When the buff comes into a cooldown, the output damage of the main DPS will be lower. It's more complicated to use Mona's burst.

Monas Omen
The practice of Mona’s Omen is different from the description.

#3. Mona’s Illusory Bubble

Illusory Bubble makes Mona a good option for Cryo teams. When her elemental burst hit the enemy marked with a Cryo aura, the duration of her Illusory Bubble will be extended. It also helps increase the active time of her Omen DMG buff. It's a pro tip to use Mona as a Hydro enabler in Genshin Impact.

Mona Skill And Burst
Master the mechanics of Mona's elemental burst to boost the DPS unit's output damage.

In short, Mona has a complicated elemental burst. But it would be very useful if you can master this skill. Then, Mona can deal higher damage than Kokomi does.

III. Better Options For Team Comps

Both Mora and Kokomi are meta supporters in the current update. Each of them is better for different teams.

  • Frozen Team: Kokomi is a better option for both on-field and off-field Hydro applications in the Frozen Team. You should use a Cryo DPS and a Cryo buffer in this team. Moreover, Venti, Sucrose, or Kaedehara should join this team to expand the Frozen reaction's AoE.
Sangonomiya Kokomi Genshin Impact
Sangonomiya Kokomi is better for the Frozen, Vaporize, and Soup teams.
  • Taser Team: Both Mona and Kokomi are good and helpful for Taser Teams. This team includes two Electro characters, one Hydro unit, and one Anemo unit.
  • Vaporize Team: Kokomi is better for the Vaporize team than Mona as her Vaporize team deals higher damage. Kokomi's team uses Vape while Mona's team uses Forward Vape.
  • Soup Team: Kokomi also outplays Mona in a Soup team with Xiangling, Fischl, and Sucrose.
  • Speedrun Abyss: Mona outperforms Kokomi in Spiral Abyss speedrun performance due to her massive burst. But Mona's burst has a short duration. So, your team must finish the combat challenge quickly. But this play style is not popular in Genshin Impact.
Mona Genshin Impact Speedrun
Mona is a good option for speedrun performance in Spiral Abyss.

In conclusion, you should prioritize Kokomi as she is more flexible than Mona. Moreover, the young descendant of the Sangonomiya Clan is easier to build and play with excellent on-field and off-field Hydro applications.

Released on September 28, 2020, Ningguang celebrated her birthday twice in 2021 and 2022. In previous birthday celebrations, Genshin Impact players received her signature dish with some other gifts, including:

  • Qiankun Mora Meat (special dish);
  • Glaze Lily (2021);
  • Delicious Adeptus' Temptation (2022);
  • Delicious Chicken Tofu Pudding (2022).

The owner of the floating Jade Chamber is one of the richest women in Teyvat. That's why she sent the Traveler luxurious dishes and ingredients on her birthdays. Both Adeptus' Temptation and Chicken Tofu Pudding are rare traditional dishes in Liyue though her favorite food is a normal dish cooked from Flour and Raw Meat.

Genshin Impact Ningguang Birthday
Ningguang's birthday gifts are highly anticipated. 

#5. Mona - August 28th

Mona is a famous Enigmatic Astrologer from Mondstadt. She will celebrate her birthday in Genshin Impact for the third time next month. Here are the rewards we got in the two previous birthday emails from Mona.

  • The special dish of Der Weisheit Letzter Schluss (Life);
  • Teachings of Gold (2021);
  • Teachings of Resistance (2022).

Based on this concept, we may receive another type of Character Talent Material on her birthday this year.

Genshin Impact Mona Birthday
Wait for Mona's books.

Zhongli, Childe, and Yelan may be three upcoming rerun characters in update 4.0. Let's check out their rerun banner schedule here.]]>

Apart from the new characters from Fontaine, the old characters are expected to be rerun in the upcoming time. Zhongli, Childe, and Yelan may be three upcoming rerun characters in update 4.0. Let's check them out here.

Table of Contents

  • #1. Yelan Rerun Banner
  • #2. Zhongli Rerun Banner
  • #3. Childe Rerun Banner
  • Genshin Impact 4.0 Schedule

#1. Yelan Rerun Banner

Yelan is a strong Hydro sub-DPS that can apply Hydro for powerful reactions and contribute damage to the main DPS. She can also play as the main DPS in many teams. Moreover, the Alternative Sprint skill makes her a wonderful character for the open world exploration.

According to a recent leak, Yelan will be rerun in the first phase of Update 4.0 with the banner of the new character Lyney. If you have not got a strong Hydro damage dealer for your team, you can save Primogems for her banner. Besides, some players may want to unlock Yelan C6 for the highest power.

Yelan Genshin Impact
Yelan may come back with a rerun banner in update 4.0.

#2. Zhongli Rerun Banner

As the Geo Archon, Zhongli is one of the most powerful and reliable characters in Genshin Impact. He has been absent from the game for many updates. Therefore, lots of players are waiting for his rerun banners. If you are one of those players, save Primogems for his upcoming rerun banner in update 4.0.

As leaked, the Geo archon may come back in a rerun banner in the second phase of Update 4.0, after Yelan and Lyney's banners finish. Zhongli has been the best DEF character for Spiral Abyss teams up to now. You need his shield to save your team from dangerous bosses and pass all Spiral Abyss floors with 3 stars.

Zhongli And Childe
Zhongli and Childe will be rerun in the second phase of Genshin Impact 4.0.

#3. Childe Rerun Banner

Childe is another Hydro bow wielder like Yelan. Therefore, it would be weird if two Hydro archers rerun in the same update. But according to a recent leak, the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger may come back to the game in the second phase of Genshin Impact 4.0 with Zhongli. The Hydro Nation will also be released in that update.

Tartaglia can play as a Hydro sub-DPS. Hydro is a meta-element in the game now which helps trigger lots of powerful elemental reactions. Therefore, you should save Primogems for this character or Yelan to build some strong meta-teams now.

Genshin Impact 4 0
Genshin Impact 4.0 will start after the current version ends.

Genshin Impact 4.0 Schedule

As leaked, Genshin Impact 3.9 will be skipped. Therefore, Update 3.4 will be released after the current Update 3.8 finishes. Here's the schedule of the next update as calculated based on the 42-day schedule of the game.

  • Phase I - August 16, 2023;
  • Phase II - September 5, 2023.

Genshin Impact 4.0 will be released soon. Therefore, you should save Primogems for these characters if you want to get them. A lot of players will choose to skip the first character of each nation. Therefore, the pick rate of these rerun characters can be high. But these leaks haven't been confirmed yet.

Let's check out the best artifacts and weapons to build Genshin Impact Kokomi as a healer and Bountiful Core triggering roles.]]>

Kokomi's banner is available to pull now. She is a meta-character with both healing ability and Bountiful Core triggering role. Let's check out the best guide for building Genshin Impact Kokomi as a healer and Bountiful Core triggering roles.

Table of Contents

  • I. What Are Kokomi Roles?
  • II. How To Use Kokomi?
  • III. Best Artifacts & Weapons For Kokomi

I. What Are Kokomi Roles?

Kokomi was underrated as she could only contribute to your team as a healer while there were a lot of healers. But now, she can trigger Dendro cores and Bountiful cores for your Dendro-based teams, such as Nilou's team.

  • As a healer, Kokomi needs HP or ER. She can support the team as a healer very well at C0.
  • Kokomi can provide Hydro to trigger and create bountiful cores when combined with the Dendro element.

No matter which role she plays in your team, all you need to do is keep her Hydro jellyfish on the battlefield. Therefore, her elemental skill must be prioritized. Then, you can take advantage of this character in your team to keep the whole team alive and create as many bountiful cores as possible.

Kokomi Role
Kokomi is flexible and helpful.

II. How To Use Kokomi?

With proper build, Kokomi's jellyfish can stay on the field for nearly 24/24 hours as her elemental burst reset the active time of the Hydro Jellyfish. Therefore, maximizing the level of her elemental skill is a must. You should invest your materials in her skills before her elemental burst and normal attack.

Kokomi is not an expensive character. You don't need to unlock a high constellation level for her. But rich players may want to get Kokomi C4 and C6 to use her as a DPS character.

How To Use Kokomi
Use her as a healer and Bountiful Core creator.

III. Best Artifacts & Weapons For Kokomi

You should choose artifacts and weapons for Kokomi based on the prior role you want her to take.

#1. Artifacts For Healing Role

The clock with HP or ER buff is a good option for Kokomi if you want to build a healer. You can choose an artifact piece with the HP as the main buff and ER as a sub-buff. Some recommended artifact sets for Kokomi's healer role include:

  • Ocean-Hued Clam;
  • The Tenacity of the Millelith;
  • Deepwood Memories.

You should use a full 4-piece set of each artifact category above. Maiden Beloved is not recommended for Kokomi's healing role.

Artifacts For Kokomi
Best artifacts for Kokomi's healing role.

#2. Artifacts For Bountiful Core Teams

If you prioritize the Hydro buff for Nilou's Bountiful team, you should focus on the elemental mastery status. Here are the most recommended artifacts for this team.

  • Flower of Paradise Lost;
  • Gilded Dreams;
  • Ocean-Hued Clam with Flower of Paradise Lost or Gilded Dreams.

It's better to focus on HP and ER.

Kokomi Genshin Impact
Choose the best artifacts and weapons for her.

#3. Recommended Weapons

In addition to proper artifacts, you have to choose the best weapons to maximize her power. Here are some recommended weapons for her.

  • A Thousand Floating Dreams;
  • Everlasting Moonglow;
  • Hakushin Ring;
  • Prototype Amber;
  • Sacrificial Fragments.

If you cannot obtain expensive weapons from weapon banners, you can craft a Prototype Amber for her.

Genshin Impact Childe Tartaglia
Genshin Impact Hydro family includes many strong DPS characters. 

Besides, Emblem of Severed Fate is an ideal artifact set for Hydro sub-DPS. Hydro sub-DPS and Burst Support characters have amazing elemental bursts with useful buffs when using this gear set. Hydro Supporters like Sangonomiya Kokomi and Mona should use the artifact set Tenacity of the Millelith.

Hydro Characters Genshin Impact
Hydro characters are very flexible as they can join many strong teams.

Genshin Impact Neuvillette is an upcoming 5-star character from Fontaine. He will become a playable character in an early update after Fontaine's release. Here are things we know about this Chief Justice.

Table of Contents

  • #1. Neuvillette Profile & Design
  • #2. Neuvillette Element & Weapon
  • #3. Neuvillette Release Date

#1. Neuvillette Profile & Design

Fontaine is the nation of Justice. Neuvillette is the Chief of Justice in this nation. Before the teaser of Fontaine characters and leaks about Focalors, Neuvillette was believed to be the Hydro Archon as he has a voice in the drip marketing of Nahida. He plays an important role in the political and judicial system of Fontaine.

Neuvillette Genshin
Neuvillette will come out as a Hydro Catalyst or Claymore Wielder in update 4.1.

The teaser of Fontaine characters unveiled the design of this Justice Chief. He is a tall man with white hair and a formal politician's outfit set. As the Justice Chief of Fontaine, this 5-star character knows lots of stories and secrets about this nation.

#2. Neuvillette Element & Weapon

Neuvillette's Vision is hidden in the teaser video. According to leaks, he may wear the Vision on his back. A tear-shaped blue gem can be spotted. It may indicate that this character would come out as a Hydro character. Leakers also unveiled that Neuvillette might be a "pure-blood" Khaenri'ahn as he had star-shaped eye pupils like Kaeya, Dainslief, and Pierro.

Neuvillette Role
As the Chief of Justice, Neuvillette knows lots of stories and secrets about Fontaine.

In addition, Neuvillette might be a Claymore wielder. As leaked, this character can be the first Hydro Claymore character in Genshin Impact. There is no Hydro Claymore character in the game up to now. But many leaks also revealed that Neuvillette can be a Hydro Polearm character. Genshin Impact players have to wait until the official design of Neuvillette comes out.

#3. Neuvillette Release Date

Neuvillette may be released in update 4.1 with Wriothesley, right after the release of Fontaine. Then, Wriothesley seems to move to the Standard banner. However, Hoyoverse has not confirmed these leaks about Neuvillette. Just wait for his official drip marketing to know more about him.

Neuvillette is a highly anticipated character though he may be not the strongest man from Fontaine. But the release of this character as well as his story may take you closer to Khaenri'ah, a fallen nation with lots of secrets. Stay updated!

  • Genshin Impact 4.0: New Features and Upgrades

Being one of the most popular action game titles at the moment, Genshin Impact continues to captivate players with its upcoming version 4.0, which will introduce a new area and additional content, generating even more excitement among fans.

Recently, it unveiled some exciting information about the upcoming region called Fontaine, also known as The Nation of Justice, during the version 3.8 live stream and on Twitter.

Based on the information and providing that the Genshin Impact 3.8 was released on July 5 and each patch lasts for 42 days, it is reasonable to anticipate that the Genshin Impact Fontaine release date would be around August 16. Similarly, it is highly probable that the live stream for version 4.0 will take place in the second week of August, approximately one week before the release.

To gather additional details about Genshin Impact Fontaine, keep reading this article by Gurugamer.com.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Characters

One of the most anticipated aspects of new versions for players is the introduction of new characters associated with the upcoming region. Though several Genshin Impact Fontaine characters have been leaked, many will be released gradually as the Fontaine story unfolds. Not only that, a group of characters is expected to be unveiled in subsequent updates like 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Characters
Chevreuse Info!! by HutaoLover77 | Reddit

In accordance with recent disclosures, it appears that Lyney and Lynette, the two characters showcased in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview video, will be among the initial batch of Genshin Impact Fontaine characters to be introduced in the 4.0 update.

Lyney has the potential to excel as a Pyro Bow user, earning a 5-star rating, while Lynette features the skills of a 4-star Anemo sword user. Moreover, there are several other characters, both 5-star and 4-star, that may make their debut in version 4.2. Nonetheless, it is uncertain whether Hoyoverse, the developer of the game, will alter the release dates and designs of these characters due to the extensive leakage of information surrounding them.

The leaks also suggest that the Hydro Archon, also known as Focalors or Furine, will be a sword user and fulfill a support/buff role in the upcoming 4.2 update. However, it's important to note that these leaks surfaced approximately four months prior to the expected Genshin Impact Fontaine release date. Considering the substantial amount of time available for Hoyoverse to make changes to character releases, it's advisable to approach this information with some skepticism.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Lyney And Lynette
Lyney and Lynette

Besides Genshin Impact Fontaine characters, we can expect to see characters hailing from Sumeru, Inazuma, Liuye, and Mondstadt in future updates. Among them, Arlecchino, one of the 11 Harbingers of the Fatui, is rumored to make her first appearance in the Fontaine update. This follows the pattern set by Wanderer (Scaramouche), who made his debut in the Sumeru update.

It’s said that Arlecchino is speculated to be a 5-star character that wields a sword and possesses the Pyro delusion. Yet, it's important to note that there isn't sufficient evidence to confirm her status as a playable character at this time. Based on Hoyoverse's past patterns, there is a possibility that she could become playable in the 4.6 or 4.7 updates.

Recent rumors have shed light on Arlecchino and the future of the Fatui Harbingers, providing insights into their lore and potential playability. Additionally, some theory crafters predict a change in the release schedule of the Northern region of Mondstadt, originally slated for Genshin Impact 4.3. Particularly, the Northern region may be delayed and instead replaced by Port Baydha in Sumeru, leading players to the Fontaine region.

Over than that, Genshin Impact Fontaine characters will have a separate blue-colored stamina bar for underwater activities. It is unclear if this bar will be fixed or dependent on the level of Fontaine's statues.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Bosses

Based on the leaks for Genshin Impact 4.0, two bosses have been disclosed, and their icons have been shared on Reddit. The first boss bears similarities to Azdaha, while the second boss is a dual boss similar to the Bathysmal Vishap Herd encounter.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Bosses
Supposed Genshin Impact Fontaine bosses

According to the source of information, the dual boss is referred to as "Icewind Suites," while the orange boss is known as the "Emperor of Fire and Iron." Though the exact purpose of the materials obtained from the first boss is still unknown, it has been revealed that the second boss will drop ascension materials specifically for Lyney.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Weapons

Apart from new characters, Genshin Impact is set to introduce a new lineup of battle pass weapons, similar to the existing ones, all of which have crit percentage scaling. The leaked names of these weapons are Wolf-Fang (Sword), Scion of the Blazing Sun (Bow), Ballad of the Fjords (Polearm), and Talking Stick (Claymore).

Genshin Impact Fontaine Weapons

Furthermore, the leak provides a list of the weapons and information about their stats, ascension materials, and other details. It seems that Hoyoverse struggles to keep secrets, as even the signature weapon designs for the characters leak and unexpectedly make their appearance. The leaked Genshin Impact Fontaine weapon designs, albeit slightly outdated, suggest the ongoing development of Fontaine's signature weapons.

While there isn't much information available regarding the stats and signature characters of these weapons, it can be assumed that the blue sword might be Focalor's signature weapon. As more details emerge before the Genshin Impact Fontaine release date, which is still one month away, additional information will be added to the article.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Map

The complete and impressive underground map of Fontaine has recently been revealed on Reddit, as anticipated. It is of considerable size, and additional information has emerged online regarding swimming mechanics, which we will explore further. Still, before delving into that, here is the comprehensive underground map of Genshin Impact 4.0 for your viewing pleasure.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Map
Supposed Genshin Impact Fontaine map

Upon initial observation, the Genshin Impact Fontaine map appears to be of significant size. Remarkably, there is an underground pathway that leads towards the Sumeru desert, along with various locations resembling islands.

Many leaks pointed out that it was originally planned for Fontaine to be released after the northern Mondstadt region. However, due to the delay in the release of Mondstadt, players will now have to journey to the upcoming location in Sumeru called Port Baydha. From there, they can set sail and reach the city of Fontaine.

The Nation of Justice is located in the north of the desert, leaving ample space between Sumeru and Fontaine. It is likely that upcoming areas on the map will fill this void, adding more content for players to explore.

Considering the information available, Fontaine seems to be comparatively smaller or potentially similar in size to Sumeru's rainforests. It has been strongly indicated that the entry point to Fontaine will be through a canal, which will serve as a route leading to the main city of Fontaine.

Hoyoverse has released a new trailer that provides us with the first glimpse of the architectural design inside the court of the Nation of Wisdom. In addition, the trailer features the official debut of several characters, including Focalors, the Hydro Archon, Wriothesley, a police officer, Neuvilette, the president of the Supreme Court, Charolette, Waghild, a nurse, and Navia, affiliated with the navy. Furthermore, there is a brief preview of Arlecchino, one of the upcoming playable harbingers.

We can confirm that Fontaine's exploration will encompass both land and underwater environments. The teaser also validates the presence of an underwater region. Furthermore, a recently leaked map on Reddit also corroborates this information. According to the official video and the various non-playable characters encountered during events and quests, Fontaine will be portrayed as a highly advanced nation. Even so, it will be intriguing to witness how the integration of underwater and terrestrial exploration will enhance the overall experience, and we are certainly enthusiastic about it.

Regarding the primary land region, it is noticeable that there are several tall buildings and other structures that the inhabitants of Fontaine consider as technological advancements. Given that Fontaine draws heavy inspiration from France and Paris, it is expected that the objects and architecture in the region will exhibit a similar design language. The teaser begins with a substantial ship, which likely serves as our mode of entry into Fontaine, and subsequently transitions to showcasing underwater exploration.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Events

Additional information regarding the happenings in version 4.0 has emerged on the internet, indicating that players will receive a complimentary Bennette during the main event. This is likely due to Bennette's ability to enhance characters, making him a suitable companion for Lyney, who is anticipated to serve as a Pyro DPS. The leaked images also provide glimpses of potential upcoming events in the game, suggesting that version 4.0 will feature many events and offer players more primogems.

Genshin Impact Fontaine Exploration Mechanics

In the teaser, we witness the Traveler utilizing their Hydro abilities, which they are likely to acquire by interacting with one of the statues of the Seven within the nation of Fontaine. The teaser's focus on the Traveler exploring underwater realms led many to speculate that only the Traveler would have access to such exploration. However, a reputable Genshin leaker named StepLeaks has revealed that this is not the case.

According to StepLeaks, it seems that other characters will also be able to explore underwater, contrary to initial assumptions. The teaser depicts the Traveler releasing slashes to unlock chests underwater, which appears to be accomplished not through their unique ability but rather a gadget or a universal exploration mechanic that activates whenever a character submerges.

As the Genshin Impact Fontaine release date is still a month away, limited information is available regarding the exploration mechanics in Fontaine. However, as the release date approaches, more leaks are expected to surface, and we will continue to update the article to ensure you are kept informed about any Fontaine-related leaks.

Genshin Impact 4.0: New Features and Upgrades

Here are the changes coming later in Genshin Impact 4.0, according to the leaks.

Increased Inventory Storage Limit

In Genshin Impact 4.0, the Artifact storage limit will be increased from 1500 to 1800, providing more space to farm for the upcoming Fontaine artifacts revealed in a recent leak.

New Artifact Strongboxes

Exciting new information from a leak indicates the possibility of introducing new artifact strongboxes in Genshin Impact. These strongboxes include Tenacity of the Millelith, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Pale Flame, Husk of Opulent Dreams, Vermillion Hereafter, Echoes of an Offering, Ocean-Hued Calm, and Emblem of Severed Fate. This addition will make it easier for players to farm for the specific artifacts they need by allowing them to exchange unwanted ones. It's definitely a convenient feature to look forward to!

New Party Animations

Leaked information hints that Genshin Impact's party UI will be revamped in version 4.0, with improvements to the "Edit party" interface and new character animations. Moreover, players could potentially have the opportunity to personalize the party UI background. Nonetheless, it is crucial to handle these leaked details with care and verify their authenticity.

Kokomi surpassed Yelan to become the third most-picked character this season because there are more Riftwolves in the first half of Spiral Abyss 3.8. Therefore, you need a strong healer to save your team from Corrosion status.

Nahida Is The Most Picked
Nahida is the most picked character in Spiral Abyss 3.8.

Nahida is still the most-picked unit in the current Spiral Abyss season. The Dendro Archon has an excellent kit for powerful Dendro-based reactions. Kazuha and Yelan are still two of the most reliable characters as they give the main DPS great support and damage contribution as sub-DPS units in many teams. Also, they are flexible and easy to build and play.

Sangonomiya Kokomi surpasses Yelan to win Top 3.

#2. Tier S (Top 5 - 10)

Alhaitham, Nilou, Baizhu, and Raiden Shogun are reliable 5-star units for Spiral Abyss. They often take the roles of DPS and sub-DPS in many teams. But two 4-star characters Bennett and Xingqiu are even picked more than Nilou, Baizhu, and Raiden Shogun. It's due to their simple but effective kits. Moreover, they are cheap and easy to build.

Nilou And Alhaitham
Nilou and Alhaitham are also reliable characters thanks to their meta kits.

Raiden Shogun is still a reliable unit. Moreover, she is older than other S-tier characters with many rerun banners. That's why lots of Genshin Impact players have owned this Hyper Carry damage dealer. Nilou, Alhaitham, and Baizhu's usage rates may increase when more players obtain them from upcoming rerun banners.

#3. Tier S (Top 11 - 17)

Kuki Shinobu and Xiangling also get high positions in the tier list. Their pick rates are considerably high, comparable with those of many 5-star characters, such as Zhongli, Childe, Ayaka, Shenhe, and Yea Miko. Shinobu is even picked more than Yae Miko though they wield the same element.

Top Usage In Spiral Abyss 38 1 1
Top Usage in Spiral Abyss includes some old 4-star units, such as Shinobu, Xiangling, Bennett, and Xingqiu.

#4. Tier A

Ayato and Hu Tao are two tier-A characters in Spiral Abyss 3.8. Though they are powerful DPS characters, Hu Tao and Ayato are better for single targets. Therefore, these two characters are less picked in Spiral Abyss 3.8 in which you have to counter more enemy mobs. But they haven't been out of meta up to now as you can use their elemental skills to trigger many powerful reactions.

Hu Tao And Ayato
Many players trust Hu Tao and Ayato in their Vaporize teams.

Obviously, AoE damage dealers are preferred in Spiral Abyss 3.8. Besides, Dendro-based elemental reactions, such as Hyperbloom and Burgeon are exploited largely to deal higher damage to the opponents. Kokomi becomes more reliable as her healing effects are necessary for early floors where you have to defeat Riftwolves with annoying corrosion debuff.

Let's check out the reasons why Genshin Impact players often argue about Kokomi and if you should spend Primogems on this Hydro unit or not.]]>

Kokomi is often one of the most controversial units in Genshin Impact whenever her banner reruns. Let's check out the reasons why Genshin Impact players often argue about this Hydro unit and if you should spend Primogems on her upcoming banner or not.

I. Why Is Kokomi A Controversial Hydro Unit?

After the release of the Dendro element, Kokomi has become a top-picked Hydro unit due to her simple but effective kit. However, many veterans still underate this Hydro healer. Here are reasons why many players choose to skip her banners.

#1. Useless Passive Talent & Signature Weapon

Everlasting Moonglow, the signature weapon of Kokomi is one of the two most useless 5-star signature weapons in the game. Though it buffs HP and healing stats for Kokomi, this 5-stat weapon fails to buff her damage. Moreover, the passive talent - Flawless Strategy of this character exchange 100% Crit Rate for only 25% Healing Bonus.

Kokomi Teams
Kokomi is underrated due to her bad damage contribution.

It forces Kokomi to stand on the field to optimize her healing buffs. But her team will lose a significant amount of damage. It makes a lot of players confused when making a decision on pulling her or not.

#2. Be Replaced Easily

Though many players praised Kokomi as a flexible character, she is actually not an important unit. She can be replaced easily by other characters with the same function.

For example, Kokomi was the best healer for Nilou's Bloom team before the release of Baizhu. But after Genshin Impact 3.6, Baizhu and Ayato are better choices as they provide both healing bonuses and damage.

Nilou Team
Baizhu and Ayato are better for Nilou's Bloom team than Kokomi. 

Kokomi is also an ideal Hydro applicator for Ayaka's Freeze team. But pro players often choose Mona for shorter Hydro application duration but higher damage contribution. As long as they can deal high damage to enemies and finish the combat soon, they don't need that much healing effect.

II. Should I Pull Kokomi?

Despite those arguments, Kokomi is still worth pulling for many reasons. If you are still confused about whether to save Primogems for her upcoming rerun banner, let's check out the following reasons.

  • If you are not confident to end dangerous bosses in a few hits, you need a healer like Kokomi to keep your team alive.
  • She is good at applying Hydro auras and healing the whole team. Choosing Kokomi for Hydro-based reactions helps you save a slot for another damage dealer instead of a healer.
  • Kokomi does not require much investment in terms of weapons, artifacts, and constellations. You can make her strong and helpful with a full HP set of Tenacity of the Millelith.
Pull Kokomi
Pull Kokomi for both healing effects and Hydro auras.

In brief, Kokomi helps you solve many problems when building a team for Spiral Abyss and other combat challenges. You will have both a healer and a Hydro applicator for powerful reactions when choosing this character for your team.

#1. Electro-Charged

Electro-Charged is an old team in Genshin Impact, but it's still a powerful and effective team in Genshin Impact 3.8. Kokomi can team up with Beidou, Fischl, and Sucrose to trigger continual AoE reactions. Kazuha and Venti can replace Sucrose to trigger Swirl reactions and gather enemies with their crowd-control skills.

#2. Freeze

You can combine Kokomi with Kazuha, Ayaka, and Shenhe in a permanent Freeze team. She will apply Hydro auras on the targets to allow Ayaka and Shenhe to freeze them. This team is so powerful that they can easily defeat dangerous bosses on the 12th floor of Spiral Abyss.

#3. Nilou's Team

Kokomi can also play well in Nilou's team with Nahida and the Dendro Traveler. Nilou is one of the top unique characters in the game who can turn Dendro Cores into Bountiful Cores. When these Bountiful Cores bloom, they cause damage to both the opponent and your characters. Therefore, you need Kokomi to heal the whole team.

Kokomi plays as the healer in Nilou's team.

You can also build Kokomi's Elemental Mastery stats to trigger Bountiful Cores. But then, you need Baizhu, Yaoyao, or Barbara who plays as the sub-healer in this team.

#4. Hyperfridge

Hyperfridge is the combination of Hyperbloom and Freeze teams. The Freeze reaction marks the targets with Hydro and Cryo auras of Kokomi and Kaeya. Then, it triggers Dendro Cores when you hit those targets with Nahida's Dendro-infused attacks. Finally, Kuki Shinobu with high EM stats will trigger Hyperbloom. But this team is better to counter groups of normal enemies.

#5. Mono-Hydro

Kokomi can join a Mono-Hydro team with Yelan, Xingqiu, and Kazuha. This team can deal high Hydro DMG to the enemy, especially when these Hydro damage dealers get Kazuha's buffs. Kokomi also plays as a healer in this team.

#6. Hyperbloom

If you combine Kokomi with Raiden, Nahida, and Yelan, you will have a 5-star Hyperbloom team. You must build EM for the Electro DPS, no matter which Electro character you recruit. Kokomi helps this team create Dendro Core for Hyperbloom reactions continually. Moreover, she will keep the whole team alive.

#7. Burgeon

Burgeon is the best reaction for AoE damage. Therefore, you don't need to use Venti and Kazuha to gather enemies. Instead, you should use Sucrose to buff EM for Thoma. If you don't have Thoma on this team, use Xiangling or Dehya as alternative options. Nahida and Kokomi are responsible for creating Dendro cores.

#8. Hyperbloom + Burgeon

Kokomi, Nahida, Kuki Shinobu, and Dehya can team up and trigger two Dendro-based reactions: Hyperbloom and Burgeon. Kokomi and Nahida create Dendro cores for Dehya and Shinobu to trigger Hyperbloom and Burgeon reactions.

When wielding The First Great Magic, this DPS character should play in mono-Cryo and Frozen teams instead of Vaporize teams. It helps you make use of the stats and buffs from this weapon. Ganyu should team up with a Cryo DPS who needs ATK and Speed buffs.

#3. Tighnari

Like Ganyu, Tighnari also relies on elemental bursts. But the Dendro Archer has a quicker DMG stacking ability. He can optimize his damage by unleashing three charged attacks, his elemental burst, and his elemental skill.

As Tighnari is a Dendro character, he should have at least one Dendro teammate to take advantage of this weapon. In specific, Tighnari's Dendro teammate gets at least 20% ATK buff from Tighnari's bow.
