Previously, HoYoverse had teased new playable characters Yelan and Kuki Shinobu for Genshin Impact 2.7. Earlier read this blog post from Wutheringwavesguide week, the studio unveiled another new character - Heizou - who is expected to arrive in the Version 2.8 update as a playable 4-star character. Multiple leaks had pointed at the livestream being moved to Friday, May 20, with the likely release date for Genshin Impact Version 2.7 on or around May 31 - which makes sense, since HoYoverse typically updates the game on Tuesd

The Anemo Traveler in Genshin Impact can also fit into this team since the player can equip them with the Viridescent Venerer Artifact set to swirl both Pyro and Electro, and increase the damage both Elements deal. The Traveler's Elemental Skill can also keep enemies pulled inside Lisa's Burst, forcing the DEF drop on them. Barbara is a good alternative since she can be obtained for free at Adventure Rank 18 or higher after players have completed the quest "A Long Shot." So instead of having a swirl support to increase damage, players can use Barbara for the healing, and she can even help apply Electro-charged and Vaporize on enemies as well with her own atta

Genshin Impact has revealed Heizou to be a 4-star Anemo Catalyst user. He will also likely be available during Genshin Impact 's 2.8 patch, which currently has an unknown release due to the delay of Version 2.7. HoYoverse has also labeled Heizou as "The Detective of the Tenryou Commission," which gives an insight into his personal

Heizou is several of Genshin Impact 's firsts when it comes to character design. Since he is Anemo, he is Genshin Impact 's first male Anemo 4-star character . Yet, maybe even more importantly, he is also Genshin Impact 's first male catalyst user. Fans have wanted a male catalyst user for some time and Heizou is finally delivering on that type of character. Since there is no other male catalyst user, it is likely that all of Heizou's animations will be unique, such as the animation when previewing his weapon on the character screen. He has also been leaked to be fairly short, which will likely also affect his animations. Players will just have to wait and see just how unique he moves in comparison to other charact

Male 4-star characters are fairly rare in Genshin Impact so it's always exciting to be receiving a new one. A combination of Heizou's gender, weapon, and Element all make him a fairly unique character. According to both official reveals and leaks, Heizou is a couple of Genshin Impact 's fir

HoYoverse has officially confirmed the release dates for **Genshin Impact ** 2.7, as well as when the Version 2.8 update will arrive. The 2.7 update for Genshin Impact was delayed from the beginning of May, presumably from COVID-related lockdowns in Shanghai, and it's also understandably pushed back future updates like Version 2.8. Although HoYoverse had remained fairly quiet on the matter, fans now know when to expect the next two major Genshin Impact upda

Heizou's Normal Attack animations have been leaked, which have Heizou using several kicks and punches. These Normal Attacks all have melee range, which also implies that Heizou is also Genshin Impact 's first melee catalyst user . Since not too much about Heizou is official yet, players are just going to have to be patient for more information - such as info regarding his Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and Constellations. Since the character is unique in terms of the current **Genshin Impact ** roster, it can be safely assumed that the rest of his kit will be just as unique. Heizou has been an unexpected surprise from HoYoverse, which means many will be counting down the days for him to arr

Yanfei is a 4-star Pyro user in **Genshin Impact ** , and she works well in a DPS role. The best team comps for Yanfei work to trigger Elemental Reactions and increase her DPS output; however, she can also be used as a support DPS if players need that role filled instead. For F2P team builds for Yanfei, there's thankfully a great option that utilizes only free charact

One of the unique factors of Genshin Impact _ 's combat system is its Elements. Each character in the game is assigned their own Element, and each Element reacts differently to one another which can result in interesting combinations. However, Hydro might just stand above the rest as _Genshin Impact 's most useful Elem

The most popular Elements in Genshin Impact are Pyro and Cryo. Both have the most characters and are the most commonly used on meta teams. This is because Pyro puts out a lot of damage, and Cryo has both damage and utility due to their Elemental reacti

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Genshin Impact 2.7, and it's nice to see HoYoverse also confirm the release date for Genshin Impact 2.8, putting to rest any fears that future updates will be delayed further or that 2.7 will be unusually short. With the next update less than two weeks away, fans can expect **Genshin Impact ** 2.7 on May 31, with the Version 2.8 update arriving on July 13, 2022 - keeping to HoYoverse's usual six-week sched
