The Snack Shop Manager - Louis is also a food vendor in the Court of Fontaine. He sells four common cuisine recipes with different effects. They are special cuisines of this Hydro nation.

He also offers customers ready-made Fonta, Delicious Fish and Chips, and Pate de Fruit. But you need to pay more Mora than buying their cooking recipes.

III. Arouet

You can buy two cooking recipes from Arouet in Café Lucerne, including Ile flottante and Conch Madeleine.

• Ile flottante is a simple 2-star food recipe. You only need an egg and 2 teaspoons of sugar to cook it.

Genshin Impact Hydroculous are scattered all around Fontaine. You can collect these items during your exploration adventure in this Hydro nation. Let's check out the quantity and locations of these collectible items here.

I. Hydroculus Quantity

Fontaine is a large nation with aboveground, underground, and underwater areas. As leaked, this nation also has the largest amount of over 271 Hydroculi which can be equal to or even more than the quantity of Dendroculi in Sumeru (271 Dendroculi).

You have to collect all Hydroculi in aboveground, underground, and underwater areas around this nation to maximize the level of the Hydro Statue of Seven in Fontaine. It will be a difficult challenge for Genshin Impact players.

But it seems that the current map is only a part of the whole of Fontaine. Therefore, only 85 Hydroculi are available to collect now. There can be more oculi released when other parts of Fontaine are unlocked.

II. Hydroculus Locations & Farming Routes

Hydroculi can be found on the ground, underground, and even underwater. Fontaine has a large area of water bodies with lots of boats and ships. You can find many oculi on these offshore ships. Let's check out the best Hydroculi farming routes in the current Fontaine here.

#1. North of Fontaine

The northern part of the current map is an urban area with the capital city of this nation where the Court of Fontaine is located.

• You can find 9 oculi along the waterway to the city inner.
• There are 3 oculi in the outer round of the city.
• 10 oculi appear in the water bodies in the north of this map.
• Go to the Opera Epiclese to grab 3 items.
• Marcotte Station has 2 items.
• 9 oculi are scattered in the mountain area in the north of the Fontaine Capital City.

#2. South of Fontaine

Traveler has to go through the south of Fontaine to reach the capital city in the North. Unlike big cities in the north, the south of the Hydro nation is more rural and mountainous. Here are the recommended farming routes for you.

• There are 2 oculi near the first Statue of Seven in Fontaine that you unlock right after entering this nation.
• Take the boat towards the capital city. Along the way, you can see the mark of 14 oculi along two sides of the waterway.
• There are 9 oculi in the water body in the middle.
• 20 rest oculi can be found in the mountainous area of Elynas.

III. How To Use Hydroculi

When getting enough Hydro Oculi for unlocking a new level of the Statue of Seven, you should go to one of three statues at the entrance of the city, West Slopes of Mont Automnequi, or Court of Fontaine. Unlocking a new level of this statue gives players many attractive rewards, such as Primogems, Shrine of Depth Keys, etc.

Lyney, Wriothesley, and Neuvillette are three upcoming characters with unveiled kits, visions, and weapons. Let's check out recommended roles and teams for these characters here. These recommendations may help you decide which characters you should roll.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

When Fontaine comes out tomorrow, you will encounter many new enemies. Understanding them will help you defeat these enemies easily when exploring the Hydro nation.

#1. Clockwork Meka

Clockwork Meka in wildlife is a hostile and aggressive enemy. They are infused with Pneumosia Energy. To defeat these enemies, you have to use Ousia-aligned attacks. Clockwork Meka robots in Fontaine City are NPCs. They are not aggressive and hostile like robots in wildlife.

#2. Icewind Suite

Icewind Suite is the upgraded version of Clockwork Meka. It's a pair of robots including two bosses: the Nemesis of Coppelius and the Dirge of Coppelia. These enemies wield Anemo and Cry elements. Besides, they are imbued with Pneuma and Ousia energy. You have to use the countering element to defeat them faster.

• Coppelia is the female Cryo boss. You need to hit her with Pneuma-imbued attacks.
• Coppelius is the male Anemo boss. Hit home with Ousia-imbued attacks to deal high damage to this enemy.

Their boss drops are essential for upcoming characters from Fontaine, such as Freminet, Lynette, and Lyney. These bosses will appear all around the Hydro nation.

#3. Emperor of Fire and Iron

Emperor of Fire and Iron is a mystical beast. It's an armored crab residing inside caves in the Hydro nation. You need to attack the twin horns on its head to defeat them quickly as these horns are its weak points.

These horns are imbued with the Pyro element. You should use charged attacks or powerful Hydro-based elemental reactions to break it quickly when the boss is lying down on the ground. You can also use Ganyu's charged attacks to shoot its horns. Don't forget to avoid its Fireball Showers and Lava Flow Attack.

#4. Fontemer Aberrants

Fontemer Aberrants are aquatic creatures in Fontaine. You can encounter them when exploring the underwater world in this country. There are eight forms of Fontemer Aberrants.

• Blubberbeast
• Leisurely Otter
• Ball Octopus
• Hat Jellyfish
• Armored Crab

Genshin Impact 4.0 Pre-Installation package is available for players to download now. It's expected to be a big update with the release of a new nation. But its resource size still leaves many players shocked. Check it out here.

Genshin Impact 4.0 Pre-Installation Size

As usual, the pre-installation resource package is released two days before the official update comes out. It lets players get and install the resource package of the following update now. Then, you can experience the new version right after the maintenance time two days later.

The upcoming version will be a big update with a large resource package. Make sure your devices have enough free space for the new version.

• On PC: 32 - 34.2 GB;
• On mobile: 8 - 10 GB.

Go to the Setting > Resource to download the package.

The voice package also enlarges the resource package of the game. If you download another voice package, you need some free Gigabytes in your storage space.

Update 4.0 will introduce a new nation with a novel underwater world. It requires a brand-new mechanism. Therefore, the size of the resource package is certainly larger than in previous updates.

Genshin Impact Cloud service - GeForce NOW - can be an effective solution for gamers on many platforms. Or else, tidy up your PC or smartphone's storage to make free space for this game. Whenever Hoyoverse is about to release a new update for Genshin Impact, they make their users go nuts with the app size.

The next update will start on August 16th. You cannot log into the game during the maintenance downtime. Wait and come back after 11:00 am (UTC+8) to explore the new update and new nation.

Both experienced and new players might find it a bit unclear how to unlock Fontaine in Genshin Impact 4.0. The upcoming update will introduce players to the Nation of Hydro, also known as the Nation of Justice. It's led by the Hydro Archon Focalors and is the 5th major region in Teyvat that players will explore. In Fontaine, the main focus will be on advancing the Traveler's story as they search for their lost sibling, along with introducing new gameplay mechanics.

The biggest addition in Genshin Impact 4.0 is the ability to explore underwater. Players will be able to navigate through underwater areas with their characters. These watery sections will be similar to the regular map but with unique exploration features, puzzles, and enemies.

Another new combat mechanic in Version 4.0 involves using energies called Pneuma and Ousia. But before players can experience these new elements, they need to access Fontaine.

How to unlock Fontaine as a new player

Fontaine is the fifth major region released after Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. The good news for new players is that they don't need to catch up on the entire story to explore Fontaine.

During the version 4.0 livestream on Genshin Impact's official Twitch channel, the developer announced that new players only need to finish the Mondstadt story arc to access Fontaine.

After completing the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom," players will unlock a Teleport Waypoint on the border of Sumeru, which is adjacent to Fontaine. This quest involves Venti and La Signora. By using this Waypoint and moving east, players can reach Fontaine in Genshin Impact.

Exploring Fontaine is open to players, but their progress in the region's quests will be limited until they complete the Archon Quest "Caribert" in Sumeru.

How to unlock Fontaine as a seasoned player

For players who are up-to-date with the story and have completed the "Caribert" Archon Quest in Genshin Impact, they will automatically be guided to the new Archon Quest that happens in Fontaine.

Even if these experienced players haven't yet gone through the Realm of Farakhkert in Sumeru, they will still have the new Teleport Waypoint unlocked. This makes it convenient for them to quickly reach the Nation of Hydro and start the story in that region.

However, players aren't required to immediately follow the quests. Like new players, they can freely explore the region at their own pace. The benefit they have is that they can begin the regional Archon Quests whenever they choose, as long as they've finished "Caribert."

Genshin Impact 4.0 and the Fontaine region will be available on all platforms from August 16th.

Travelers will explore the underwater world when arrive in Fontaine. There are many new exclusive features and puzzles in this country. Let's check out all new Fontaine puzzles and additions to Genshin Impact 4.0 here.

#1. Underwater Current

Like Wind Currents on the ground, Water Currents underwater in Fontaine also propel your characters toward its direction. Your characters often move more slowly when they are diving and swimming underwater. Therefore, these currents are very helpful for exploration in Fontaine.

#2. High-Pressure Water Vents

When diving and exploring the underwater world in Fontaine, you sometimes encounter high-pressure water vents. These vents will shoot high-pressure water currents which can hurt your characters. You can use the Armored Crab Shield skill borrowed from Armored Crabs to keep them safe.

#3. Recovery Orb

Like sprinting and swimming, the diving skill also has a stamina bar. This Aquatic Stamina Bar will go empty when you sprint underwater. But you can find and collect Recovery Orbs to refill your Aquatic Stamina Bar. Moreover, these Obs also refill your HP bar. These obs look like schools of golden fish.

#4. Fontaine Echoing Conch

Echoing Conch is not a new item in Genshin Impact. But it was only added to limited events in previous updates. Hoyoverse will re-introduce it to Fontaine as an important item for solving puzzles in this new country. These conches will unleash sound waves that unveil hints and invisible objects. You should collect all echoing conches you see in your underwater adventure.

#5. Fantastical Floating Ball

During your underwater journey, you will meet spherical items called Fantastical Floating Balls. It's also a new mechanic involved in Fontaine's underwater puzzles. They often float along high-pressure waves.

When these balls contact with the ring device, they will activate these rings. You can make use of high-pressure water currents or similar things to drive these balls to the ring devices.

#6. Pnenumosia Blocks

Pneumosia Block is a new device scattered around Fontaine. It has three states of Pneuma, Balanced, and Ousia. It helps your playable characters unleash Pneuma or Ousia-aligned attacks by infusing their normal, charged, and plunged attacks with one of these two new elements. This device allows non-Fontaine characters to defeat Fontaine enemies with the opposite element.

#7. Pneuma and Ousia

Pneuma and Ousia are two new opposite elements in Fontaine. Every creature in this nation is infused with these two elements. But each creature exhibits only one element that overwhelms.

You can counter enemies by hitting them with an attack infused with the opposite element. Luckily, non-Fontaine characters can use Pneumosia Block to charge their attack with one of these elements. It's also essential in solving puzzles when you have to interact with puzzle items by using Pneuma- or Ousia-aligned attacks.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

In the upcoming Fontaine update of Genshin Impact, players will have the opportunity to obtain a free four-star character. This update will introduce a plethora of new characters to the game, giving players even more options to enhance their roster. Four-star characters have a lower pity requirement, meaning players won't need to spend an excessive amount of Primogems to get them.

For those unknown, the pity system in Genshin Impact ensures that within 10 wishes, players are guaranteed to receive one featured four-star character. However, it's important to note that these odds are divided among three different units. Additionally, Genshin Impact often offers players the chance to obtain a four-star character for free by completing specific objectives in limited-time events. This provides players with an additional opportunity to expand their roster without having to rely solely on wishes.

Who will be the free 4-star character in Genshin Impact 4.0?

As per a recent post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, it has been revealed that players will have the opportunity to obtain Lynette for free in the upcoming update 4.0. HoYoverse announced the character recently and leaks suggest that she will have a four-star rarity.

Regarding Lynette's element, her official splash art confirms that she will be an Anemo user. It is anticipated that she will have excellent synergy with her brother, Lyney. Both characters are magicians and appeared in the recently released "Overture Teaser: The Final Feast" promotional video.

Players are speculating that the main storyline of update 4.0 will revolve around these two characters, who seem to possess a darker side, as hinted in the teaser.

More details you need to know

Contrary to their initial friendly appearances, Lyney's true nature seems to be a cunning individual who prioritizes himself and his sister above all else. On the other hand, Lynette is anticipated to be a new four-star support character, capable of fitting into various team compositions due to her possession of an Anemo Vision.

Lynette's Elemental Skill will come in two variations. Tapping this skill will trigger an Enigma Thrust attack, dealing area-of-effect Anemo damage and restoring a portion of her HP. However, if you hold the skill, Lynette will apply the Shadowing effect to nearby enemies, diverting their attention away from allies.

Besides, Lynette's Elemental Burst will summon a Bogglecat Box. Functioning similarly to Mona's Phantom of Fate ability, it will taunt all nearby enemies. Depending on the element infused into the box, be it Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo, it will unleash different types of damage.

Fans have expressed their admiration for the fact that both Lyney and Lynette possess the ability to taunt enemies, allowing them to create distance and strategically reposition themselves during battles. While both characters have been officially confirmed for Genshin Impact version 4.0, there is currently no information available regarding their specific placement in upcoming banners.

Genshin Impact 4.0 new Pneuma and Ousia mechanics

In addition to the introduction of new enemies, the 4.0 cycle of Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact is rumored to feature an entirely new combat mechanic. Leaks suggest that Fontaine, the region at the center of the update, will be divided into two factions: Pneuma, representing Light, and Ousia, representing Desolation.

According to these leaks, all Fontaine characters will align with either the Pneuma or Ousia faction. They possess the ability to infuse their weapons with different types of energy depending on their affiliation. Moreover, it is expected that the bosses encountered in the game will also be categorized accordingly.

The leaks further reveal that using characters from one faction against mobs from the opposing faction will trigger a wave that paralyzes the enemies, granting players an edge in battle. However, the exact duration of this effect and its frequency of activation are yet to be known.

Another leak has suggested that Genshin Impact players may need Fontaine characters that are capable of triggering this new mechanic in order to successfully complete Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss, implying its significance in the upcoming 4.0 update.

HoYoverse always strives to incorporate fresh features into each major update of the game Genshin Impact. In version 4.0, the highly anticipated Dendro element was introduced, resulting in a significant shift in the character meta. This addition brought about a multitude of new elemental reactions and much-needed diversity in combat.

During the recent live stream event for Genshin Impact 3.8, a captivating Fontaine teaser was showcased, offering glimpses of forthcoming locations. The accompanying video portrayed the Traveler venturing into submerged areas of Teyvat, and a recent leak pertaining to Genshin Impact has shed more light on the mechanics of this underwater exploration and diving experience.

New diving mechanics in Genshin Impact

The leaked information suggests that players will have access to a unique form of "underwater stamina", similar to the bar that appears when the Anemo user Wanderer ascends in the air using their Elemental Skill. This new stamina can be replenished as you remain stationary in the water, eliminating the need to resurface for a refresh.

This mechanic differs significantly from Genshin Impact's current swimming system, where characters drown when their stamina depletes. Also, you cannot replenish it by standing still.

Players will have the ability to swim faster using the sprint button and ascend to the surface by utilizing the jump key. The leak also confirms the inclusion of underwater combat, which has generated excitement among many players.

Interesting details regarding the diving feature

Underwater, players can execute various attacks by tapping or holding the Normal Attack button. However, it appears that their regular Elemental Skills and Bursts may not be usable while diving. Fans are curious if this new mechanic will be applicable across different regions or exclusive to the new Hydro nation.

Considering that a significant portion of Teyvat is submerged, revisiting these areas would greatly enhance the overall exploration experience in the game.

Previous rumors circulating in the Genshin Impact community have hinted at the existence of underground dungeons in the Cider Lake surrounding Mondstadt, the main city.

On another hand, this diving feature is not exclusive to the Traveler. All Genshin Impact characters can dive, but they cannot use their individual elemental skills or bursts.

There will be two new artifact sets from Fontaine released in Genshin Impact 4.0: Golden Troupe and Marechaussee Hunter. Let's check out their stats and the best characters to use here.

#1. Golden Troupe

Golden Troupe is the first artifact set to come out in Genshin Impact 4.0. These 5-star gear are ideal artifact sets for sub-DPS characters in this game, such as  Yae Miko and Fischl. But the 4-piece Golden Troupe set can be used for the main DPS thanks to its amazing buffs.

Here are the stats of this new artifact.

• The 2-piece set helps increase the DMG for the elemental skill by 20%.
• The 4-piece set also helps increase the DMG for the elemental skill by 20%. In addition, the off-field damage dealers get another 20% DMG buff. This effect will disappear 2 seconds after the character takes the battlefield.

This artifact set can be ideal for new characters from Fontaine. According to the leak, the nation of Hydro Archon will have two new mechanisms: Ousia and Pneuma. Therefore, these new gears may have either Ousia or Pneuma buff.

#2. Marechaussee Hunter

The second artifact set - Marechaussee Hunter - has many new buffs and effects. Therefore, it can be a favorite artifact set after the Fontaine update.

• The 2-piece set helps increase the DMG for the normal and charged attacks by 15%.
• The 4-piece set has new buffs and effects. In specific, the characters using this gear set will get an 11% Crit Rate buff which can be tackled three times when their HP fluctuates.

Though these status buffs are pretty good, they are not effective and useful for current playable characters in Genshin Impact. Therefore, it can be better for new characters after update 4.0.

Both these two new artifacts can be used for the main DPS characters in your team. But there is no information about the stats of each piece in these sets.

Further information about these two new artifact sets will be unveiled after the update of Fontaine when their specific domains are introduced. Just stay updated and learn about these new gear sets when they come out to the game.

The latest Genshin Impact Fontaine leaks unveiled much of Freminet's kit. Many Travelers have eagerly awaited the details since his initial leak as a playable character. It's important to note that the information provided below, especially the numbers related to his abilities, is subject to change. Freminet has been leaked as a playable character in Genshin Impact 4.0.

While there is no confirmed banner for this character yet, it's worth considering that the official date for this version is expected to be August 16, 2023.

• Base HP: 12,071
• Base DEF: 708
• Base ATK: 255
• ATK%: 24%

Below are all Freminet leaks regarding his skills, constellations and more.

Freminet Elemental Skill

The upcoming Fontaine character will deal Cryo DMG.

During Pers Time, which lasts for ten seconds, Freminet's Elemental Skill transforms into Shattering Pressure. Whenever Freminet performs a Normal Attack, he inflicts Cryo damage and increases Pers' Pressure Level.

Shattering Pressure has different effects based on its level. At Level 0, it deals Cryo damage, while Levels 1-3 deal both Cryo and Physical damage. At Level 4, it exclusively deals Physical damage.

Freminet's Elemental Burst, Fundamental Force, enables him to unleash Pneuma-aligned Cryo damage at specific intervals.

Freminet Elemental Burst

According to recent Genshin Impact leaks, Freminet's Elemental Burst will deal an Area of Effect (AOE) Cryo damage.

• Resets the cooldown of Freminet's Elemental Skill.
• Activates Stalking Mode for ten seconds.
• During Stalking Mode, it enhances interruption resistance and reduces the Elemental Skill's cooldown by 70%.
• Freminet's Normal Attacks provide an additional stack to Pers' Pressure Level.
• Frost damage inflicted by his Normal Attacks is doubled in damage output.

Freminet Passives

His passives revolve around these effects:

• Saturation Deep Dive: When Pers Time has less than 4 levels of Pressure, his' Elemental Skill cooldown is reduced by one second.
• Parallel Condensers: If Freminet triggers Shatter, the damage from the Shattering Pressure ability is increased by 40% for a duration of five seconds.
• Deepwater Navigation: The details of this ability have not been revealed yet, but it is speculated to be related to the new underwater gameplay mechanic.

Freminet Constellations

Based on Genshin Impact leaks, here is some information regarding Freminet's Constellations:

• C1: Increases the CRIT Rate of the Elemental Skill's Shattering Pressure variant by 15%.
• C2: When using Pressurized Floe: Shattering Pressure, Freminet regenerates two energy. If he has Pressure Level 4, he gains three energy instead.
• C3: Raises the level of Freminet's Normal Attack by three.
• C4: When triggering Frozen, Shatter, or Superconduct on enemies, this character's ATK is increased by 9% for six seconds. This effect can stack up to two times and occurs once every 0.3 seconds.
• C5: Raises the level of Freminet's Elemental Skill by three.
• C6: When triggering Frozen, Shatter, or Superconduct on enemies, this character's CRIT DMG is increased by 12% for six seconds. This effect can stack up to three times and occurs once every 0.3 seconds.

Other than this, Freminet's namecard is also leaked online. Some mechanic penguins can be seen marching toward the left side while small Cryo elements are scattered throughout the artwork.

Genshin Impact will introduce two new mechanics to Fontaine, including Ousia and Pneuma. These additions will change your gameplay and strategy a lot. Check them out here and learn how Ousia and Pneuma work.

I. New Mechanics In Fontaine

There will be two new mechanics, including Ousia and Pneuma in the character's kit after Fontaine's release. In specific, the leaked kits of the Hydro Traveler, Freminet, and Lyney will have the Pneuma mechanics while Lynette's kit has the Ousia mechanics.

Ousia and Pneuma are two Greek-rooted words. The word 'Pneuma' means soul or spirit and the word 'Ousia' refers to entity, essence, or substance. According to the leaker, Pneuma and Ousia are two opposite mechanics. Let's learn how they work in the game after update 4.0 in the next part.

II. How Pneuma & Ousia Work

All playable characters and enemies in Fontaine have one of two mechanics in their kits. When you hit the opponent with the opposite mechanics, the opponent will be stunned. But you cannot stun the opponent with the same mechanics. It works like traditional elements as you can break the shield of character with Pneuma element by using characters or weapons with Ousia element.

These are two exclusive mechanics of Fontaine. But old characters from four previous nations can still use these new mechanics to counter enemies in Fontaine by using new weapons from this nation. Ousia and Pneuma mechanisms only exist in creatures and species from Fontaine - the nation of high-tech robots.

According to leakers, Genshin Impact made these additions to increase the difficulty level in Spiral Abyss floors. Apart from building the team base on the elements and elemental reactions, you must pay attention to the Pneuma and Ousia status of the enemy. Then, choose the right characters and weapons with opposite or similar mechanics to counter.

III. Pneuma In Hydro Travelers' Kits

Hydro Traveler, Freminet, Lynnette, and Lyney may be the four earliest playable characters to be launched in the Fontaine Update. Their kits are also leaked earlier than other characters.

According to leakers, the Normal, Charged, and Plunge Attacks of the Travelers remain unchanged. Their kits have big changes in the Elemental Skill and Burst.

• Elemental skill - Aquacrest Saber: Press to unleash a Torrent Surge towards the targets and deal Hydro DMG to them. Hold to aim and shoot Dewdrops to the aimed targets. When the charged elemental skill ends, it also unleashes a Torrent Surge on the enemies in its path. Notably, this skill scales on their HP.
• Elemental burst - Rising Waters: The Traveler will unleash a slow-moving floating bubble to deal Hydro DMG to nearby opponents continuously. After unlocking passive talent, Rising Waters will help generate Sourcewater Droplets on the ground for Travelers to collect and restore their HP by 7%.

The elemental skill of the Traveler will interact with the Pneuma mechanism to get a Pneuma-aligned DMG bonus. His/her Pneuma attacks can counter and remove the shield or ultimate attacks of the opponent with Ousia. For example, the Hydro Traveler can counter the Crescendo attacks of the Coppelius boss or break the Ousia Bufftower in Spiral Abyss 4.0.

IV. Ousia And Pneuma In Spiral Abyss

When Fontaine is released, Hoyoverse will update Spiral Abyss and make it more challenging for players. In specific, there will be an Ousia/Pneuma elemental tower on the 9th Floor - 3rd Chamber. Here's how it works:

• A second after the match starts, the tower will apply a strengthening effect and 3U-elemental aura with Ousia/Pneuma on all enemies. The cycle time is 15s.
• After being strengthened, the enemy will receive strengthening effects: 60% ATK, 150% RES for the same element, and 60% RES for other elements. They are also not interrupted.
• If you destroy the strengthening tower by traditional elemental reaction, it will respawn and continue to strengthen enemies every 15 seconds.
• You should use Ousia/Pneuma to destroy these Bufftowers to deactivate them forever and weaken buffed enemies.

Ousia and Pneuma also exist in the abilities and kits of enemies. You have to counter many new bosses from Fontaine in Spiral Abyss 4.0, such as the Large Shatterstone Breacher Primus, Icewind Suite, and Clockwork Meka robots. These bosses will be more dangerous in Spiral Abyss chambers than in the open world with the buffs from Ousia/Pneuma towers.

In the upcoming version 4.0, Genshin Impact will introduce three new characters that players have long been waiting for. HoYoverse typically announces new characters 5-6 weeks before featuring them in a Limited Character Banner. During the recent Special Program event for Genshin Impact update 3.8, it was revealed that the release of the Fontaine nation is imminent.

This new region will introduce a diving mechanic, enabling Travelers to explore the depths of Teyvat underwater.

The official Twitter account of Genshin Impact announced that Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet will be added as new characters in the upcoming update 4.0. See more details regarding these three Fontaine characters.

Lyney and Lynette

Fans have long awaited the arrival of Lyney and Lynette, a sibling duo who made their debut in a story teaser in 2020. The announcement confirmed that both characters will be featured in the first Fontaine update, aligning with previous rumors.

Lyney, described as a celebrated magician of the Court of Fontaine, works alongside his assistant Lynette. Despite his initial friendly demeanor, recent rumors suggest that Lyney possesses a darker side and prioritizes himself and his sister. Genshin Impact confirmed that Lyney will be a new Pyro character. And rumors suggest that he will be the only five-star addition in this update.

Rumors indicate that Lyney will wield a bow as his weapon, specializing in the main DPS role. It is highly likely that he will synergize well with Lynette, who is confirmed to be an Anemo character.

As there have not been many leaks about Lynette's abilities, fans speculate that she may be a four-star character. Many anticipate that the first Fontaine update will revolve around the performance of these two characters.

Freminet

Fans have observed that the third character, Freminet, is anticipated to be a four-star character. His official splash art reveals that he will be a Hydro claymore user.

Notably, fans also noticed that he appears to be wielding The Bell, a specific claymore weapon, leading to speculation that he may be the first four-star character to effectively utilize its unique stats and effects. Players are eagerly awaiting the introduction of Freminet by HoYoverse.

Accroding to Hoyoverse description of Freminet,

"Among the ranks of able divers, Freminet is renowned for his outstanding professionalism, exceptional ability to stay focused, as well as his abundant maritime knowledge. It's just a shame that, as a classic lone wolf, he never accepts commissions from others. As the younger brother of Fontaine's famous magical duo Lyney and Lynette, Freminet prefers to stay out of the limelight."

The official post did not provide specific details about the distribution of the characters across the banner cycles in Genshin Impact update 4.0. However, Travelers anticipate that Lyney and Lynette will likely be featured in the first part of the update, while Freminet is expected to be released in the second banner cycle.

Many images of Genshin Impact Fontaine have been unveiled at the end of the Livestream Special Program, showing a magnificent nation with modern buildings and constructions. Let's take a quick view of the Hydro Archon's nation here.

I. Fontaine Release Date

Genshin Impact Fontaine will not be released until Update 4.0. It's the home of the Hydro Archon Focalors. According to the lore and written stories about this nation, Fontaine is the nation of Justice.

According to the first look of Fontaine, there will be a new diving mechanism. The home of Hydro Archon has a large area of water bodies. Therefore, it's an essential addition to the game.

There will be more interactive items in the underwater areas. Therefore, Genshin Impact may introduce new challenges, quests, and events with marine creatures. According to the preview video, you can also collect chests and farm materials when diving in the water.

II. Fontaine Preview

Hoyoverse revealed the first look of Genshin Impact Fontaine in a recent trailer video, making lots of players excited. Let's see the earliest images of this nation.

A Developed Nation

Fontaine is a modern nation with great technologic prowess. It was proved in many previous events featuring advanced machines from this nation, such as the Core of the Apparatus event in Genshin Impact 2.7. That device allows users to create smart robots for their Teapot realms.

There are many other shreds of evidence for the technological developments of Fontaine that you have met before, such as:

• The Wisdom Orb in the Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event;
• The Mikage Furnace was built by Xavier, an engineer from this nation;
• Evermotion Mechanical Paintings;

You can also see robots walking on Fontaine's streets in the video.

You can see a lot of modern buildings and facilities in cities in Fontaine. It looks like France in the real world. The costumes of people in this nation also remind us of this nation. People in this nation even built overpass waterways crossing mountains and connecting different cities with high-tech ships moving in these artificial rivers.

Social Issues In Fontaine

The quick development of technology also causes the problem of environmental pollution. This social problem is also alarming, so Travelers may have lots of things to do and problems to solve when traveling to the Hydro Archon's homeland, such as removing wastes underwater.

According to a recent story leak, the gap between the rich and the poor is one of the main social issues in Fontaine. Thus, it's easy to see the slums of the poor in tunnels under highrises.

Hoyoverse revealed images of the new nation very early, making players anticipate version 4.0. Just get prepared before this big update.
