Inazuma’s story from Genshin Impact is coming to an end, which means the time has come to introduce a new region to the game. In addition to the land of Sumeru, version 3.0 will apparently bring three new characters to the playable character roster.
As usual, the new characters will be split between the two update banner cycles. A very credible leaker of Genshin Impactcalled SpendYourPrimos, has apparently revealed more information about the upcoming update.
According to his tweet, the first banner of version 3.0 of Genshin Impact will bring the new character Tighnari alongside the popular Geo Archon Zhongli, while the second part of the update will introduce two banner resets for the popular characters Ganyu and Sangonomiya Kokomi.
While previous leaks hinted that the 3.0 update would be split into three different limited banners, it appears that developer HoYoyoverse has decided to go with the two standard banner cycles. Apparently, Tighnari will be the only new five-star character in the 3.0 update of Genshin Impact.
Recent beta leaks have revealed that it will be a new character from Genshin Impact with a strong focus on his Charge Attack, similar to Ganyu. A large part of the community believes that its name is based on an Arab scientist named Al-Tighnari, which could be true considering that the Middle East is one of the real locations that the new Sumeru region is based on.
It appears that Tighnari’s damage potential will increase with Elemental Mastery, which seems to be very common for new Sumeru characters. The new update will introduce two new four-star characters named Collei and Dori. Collei has been a part of the game’s manga for a long time, and she is expected to arrive in the first banner cycle.
A couple of leakers have revealed that players will have the option to purchase Collei for free in Sumeru’s first update. Dori will be a new user of Electro, and it is said that she will appear in the second banner cycle of the update.
