Another leak for Genshin Impact 2.8 is that players will be able to receive another free 4-star weapon, like Genshin Impact 2.7's Fading Twilight Bow. This free weapon is a 4-star sword with the somewhat humorous placeholder name "This Is A Sword," and the model for it has been leaked. It is a bright red sword that matches really well with Kazuha's color scheme, supporting the leak that Kazuha will be receiving a rerun in the latter half of Patch 2.8. This Is A Sword has an ATK main stat, and its leaked passive reads as follows: "When a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack hits an opponent, it will whip up a Hewing Gale, dealing AoE DMG equal to 180% of ATK and increasing ATK by 15% for 8s. This effect can be triggered once every 8s." So while this sword matches Kazuha aesthetically, it is definitely not the best choice for building Kazuha in Genshin Impact , as he generally wants to be stacked with as much Elemental Mastery as possi

Five hundred years prior, a cataclysm broke out. Enemies with the Abyss were sent to attack and destroy different parts of Teyvat, with one of their targets being The Chasm. At this point, three of the Five Yakshas have already faced their demise. Indarias, the Pyro Yaksha, succumbed to her karmic debt before her death. Also driven by madness, Bonanus, the Hydro Yaksha, fatally wounded her comrade, the Geo Yaksha Menogias before presumably perishing after. From that point, the Electro and Anemo Yaksha, Bosacius and Xiao, remai

The record-breaking success of Yelan and Xiao's banners in version 2.7 is multi-faceted with several factors contributing to its popularity. Firstly, the delay of Genshin Impact 's 2.7 update led to great anticipation among Genshin Impact players, building excitement for Yelan's release. Additionally, Yelan has already been referred to as one of the game's best Sub-DPS characters, drawing comparisons with fellow Hydro Sub-DPS standout character Xingqiu. The popularity of Xiao's banner is more surprising, as the character already received rerun of his banner, Invitation to Mundane Life earlier this year. However, Xiao remains one of Genshin Impact 's top DPS characters , especially for Anemo, so this may have played a role in the know his most recent banner sa

A smaller quality of life update that might be in Genshin Impact 's future is that when enemies drop materials, the player will be able to pick up items of the same kind in one stack instead of needing to spam the pickup button. This will make so there are a lot less items to pick up all over the ground. While this is a minor quality of life update for Genshin Impact , it will help out in dealing with a large group of enemies like Hilichu

The second half of Genshim Impact 2.8 will reportedly have two concurrent rerun banners: Kazuha and Yoimiya. Kazuha has been an immensely desirable character since his first Featured Banner, and some predict that HoYoverse has intentionally put Kazuha right before Sumeru's release to get players to spend their Primogems in Genshin Impact for this desirable character ahead of the influx of new content and playable additions from the reg

Genshin Impact _ 's highly-anticipated 2.7 update arrived on May 31, bringing with it new 5-star Hydro character Yelan alongside a rerun of Xiao's banner, immediately breaking day one sales records. Based on _Genshin Impact 's typical six-week release cycle, version 2.7 was initially expected to arrive on May 11. However, HoYoverse announced the update would be delayed, with players receiving compensation in the meantime. The longer-than-usual wait doesn't seem to have deterred Genshin Impact players - and perhaps the bonus Primogems incentivized some heavier rolling - with the most recent banners seeing record-breaking spend

Genshin Impact is no stranger to collaborating with other brands to create limited-edition Genshin Impact merchandise. Genshin Impact 's recent collaboration with Razer featured a Paimon-adorned collection including a mousepad, wireless mouse, and a gaming chair. Genshin Impact also previously collaborated with Chinese electronics manufacturer OnePlus on a limited-edition smartphone inspired by fan-favorite character Sucrose with accompanying mint-green Anemo-themed accessor

**Genshin Impact ** allows players to explore the vast world of Teyvat. This includes the region of Liyue, home to Genshin Impact ’s Geo Archon . However, to quell the monsters and old gods plaguing the land, Rex Lapis called upon the strongest warriors to hail as Liyue’s protectors. These were the Five Yaks

Players know little about Genshin Impact 's Pyro Archon, save that she rules Natlan , her name is Murata, and is somehow related to Mondstadt's Vennessa and her people. However, the Genshin Impact manga elaborates on this Archon's descendants, which suggests the Pyro Archon could be a cruel ruler. Vennessa and her people are known as Children Of Murata for their bright red hair. The Muratans leave their homeland for unknown reasons, though considering Vennessa's nobility and dedication to peace, they likely refused to participate in Natlan's bloodshed. It's unknown if Vennessa's whole Clan is related to Murata or used the title to maintain some connection to their homeland. However, Venti (aka the Anemo Archon, Barbatos) states that Murata has turned into a " wayward, warmongering wretch ," suggesting that Natlan is in worse shape than most other nations. If Natlan's culture forced Vennessa to abandon her home for more peaceful lands, it could be the greatest threat in Teyvat
