Genshin Impact features 3 upcoming characters – 2 of which have mastered entirely new elements

The time has come: Patch 3.0 and the new area Sumeru are coming to Genshin Impact. On this occasion, the makers have announced 3 brand new characters, 2 of which also have the Dendro element for the first time.

Patch 2.8 is already knocking on the update door and will be available to all players from July 13th. The big 3.0 patch will probably finally follow 6 weeks later. This brings the new, large area Sumeru and numerous tasks, characters and story.

In addition, there are no longer only dendro slimes, but also tons of new opponents of the 7th element. In addition to this, characters can now also harbor and use the element. This adds 3 further reactions of the elements to each other:

• “Bloom”: Dendro + Hydro
• “Catalyze”: Dendro + Electro
• “Burning”: Dendro + Pyro

All effects also have an impact on the environment in Sumeru. You can learn more about this in the Genshin Impact trailer:

Genshin Impact unveils 3 new heroes: Collei, Dori and Tighnari

Who is Tighnari? It is mostly located in the region of Avidya Forest. Tighnari has a slightly cheeky and didactic character, but is nonetheless helpful to those who get lost in the forest and have no ill intentions.

What rarity he possesses or what weapon Tighnari uses in battle is currently not officially known. Along with Collei, he can use the Dendro element for the first time. So it will be interesting to see which skills the two will master.

Who is collie? Collei was previously known among players as she is a main character in Genshin Impact manga. She, too, is often out and about in the Avidya forest and is a prospective ranger. Apparently she has a dark past that she doesn’t like to talk about.

It is not officially known what rarity Collei owns.

Who is Dory? Unlike Collei and Tighnari, Dori is of the Electro element. Dori is a Sumerian merchant who can get her customers anything they ask for. It is said to be difficult to assess and unpredictable.

What rarity Dori has and what weapon she uses against her enemies is not yet known.

When are the 3 heroes coming? We don’t know when exactly and in which banner the 3 new heroes will appear in Genshin Impact. However, they should be available during patch 3.0.

Danger: From now on there are still some leaks for the three characters. If you’re not interested in leaks, we recommend reading no further.
