Version 4.5 with Chiori is almost here, but in the meantime, during version 4.4 you can unlock the Rainjade Oblation to get rewards. If you’re still exploring the Hydro Nation, our Fountain guide can help you with Fountain Reputation and Lucine’s Fountain, and you can also redeem new codes against Primogems and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need Luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems for Wish with Fate for characters on banners, and you still need the correct Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners and Dendroculus locations.
Genshin Impact 4.5 Events
Genshin Impact 4.5 update includes:
- New Chronicle Wishes Banner.
- Chiori’s first story quest.
- Lynette Hangout Quest (Fateometer reward).
- Training guide functionality.
- Genius Invokation TCG Update (New Maps, Events and Challenges).
- Leyline overflow event.
- More system optimizations (like displaying talent upgrade materials from the character menu).
In addition to this content we receive the usual four events during 4.5 Here’s everything we know about every limited-time event in Genshin Impact 4.5:
Alchemical Ascension
We return to Mondstadt for the main event of 4.5, as Lisa opens a potion shop for you to manage. This is similar to other management simulation mini-games that Genshin has had. This time, you can also complete requests from familiar characters to make the event easier and earn more rewards, such as a new 4-star polearm, Dialogues of the Desert Sages.
Furrdyssey Cat Fortress
Cyno would be a big fan of the event name, but ignoring the questionable spelling for now, Feline Fortress Furrdyssey actually seems like another simulation-style management mini-game. Wanting a break from all their adventures, the Traveler and Paimon return to Mondstadt to make homes for the cats and feed them so they can eventually play with the cats.
If all cats befriend each other, a “special friend” will appear.
Rolling crossfire
Rolling Crossfire takes place in Fontaine and begins with talking to two guards, one of whom is naturally a genius. This guard gives you a ranged cannon, and you must use this cannon in Rolling Crossfire to fend off an endless barrage of Slime enemies. It feels like a fun version of Space Invaders, but with a Genshin twist, as you can use elemental reactions to get more points and collect power-ups on the field.
The great debate on the reaction of Fayz
Fayz returns for another fighting event in The Great Fayz Reaction Debate. This time you can manipulate time after using a skill, like if you don’t move after using a skill, everything freezes and you can take photos in that state. As for the rest of the fight, you will accumulate Phase Force during the fight, which can help you complete challenges for more rewards.
I hope you have fun with version 4.5!
