Mi Haoyou has been officially revealed Genshin Shock Update 3.5 adds two playable characters, limited-time mini-games, and more.
Genshin Impact’s next update is scheduled for March 1st, but technically releases on February 28th for most western players, and it brings the heat of Dehya, a flame character who appeared as an NPC in version 3.0 in the game. She’s a five-star character in this update, able to absorb damage from teammates on the field by placing a field of fire that damages enemies. She’s also joined by four-star Mika, who’s been specifically touted as Yura’s support character, who can help teammates regenerate health with elemental bursts.
Along with Dehya, Cyno will be added as a replay, and the second half of the patch also adds a replay of Ayaka and Shenhe, the latter’s first replay. Don’t worry too much about pulling Dehya, though, as you can get her from the standard banner later on.
A host of new quests are being added, including Dehya’s story quest, and a Faruzan hangout event directly involving your traveler and Dehya, which will “reveal the hidden pasts of both respective characters” (thanks Gematsu). You and your fellow travelers will also be able to team up with Dainsleif and Kaeya on new Archon quests to help find more information about their lost siblings and the Order of the Abyss. Additionally, you’ll also get an extra Intertwined Fate for each Archon quest you complete.
In terms of mini-games, you’ll be able to try the rhythm game Ballads of Breeze, the maze-chasing game Floral Pursuit, and the photo tour mode Breezy Snapshots as part of this update’s Windblume Festival, but all of these are only available for a limited time.
If you missed the livestream but were hoping these codes would allow you to get yourself some raw genes and more, you’re in luck because we’ve got a guide you can check out! Isn’t that convenient?
