A new heroine awaits us in the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact with Ganyu. A leaked skill list now reveals what she can do.
Who is the new heroine? According to the latest leaks, the new heroine Ganyu is set to be introduced before the Update 1.2. Ganyu has pledged her allegiance to the Geo God Rex Lapis. She wields a bow and employs the Cryo element. Players are already referring to her as “Cryo Amber”.
Amber also uses a bow in Genshin Impact but is dedicated to the Pyro element and is D-Tier, meaning her skills are based on fire. Ganyu’s skills, on the other hand, use ice and cold.
Ganyu is the Cryo Amber
What skills can Ganyu use? A leaked list from the Beta of Update 1.2 reveals that Ganyu utilizes the elemental skill “Trails of Qilin”. This leaves a single Ice Lotus that attracts enemies. Ganyu jumps back, dealing Cryo damage.
If the lotus is destroyed, it deals additional area-of-effect ice damage. The skill is reminiscent of Amber’s “Baron Bunny,” which operates similarly but deals fire damage.
Ganyu’s elemental burst is called “Celestial Shower.” She creates an “Ice Soul Gem” that rains Cryo damage. This is also said to resemble Amber. The “shower” additionally provides buffs for teammates and debuffs for enemies through Ganyu’s constellations.

How reliable is all of this? The information comes from the Beta of Genshin Impact 1.2. It is possible that some aspects may change based on tester feedback. But generally, you can expect Ganyu to be a Cryo version of Amber.
When will Ganyu and Update 1.2 be released? The new update for the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact is planned for late December. Ganyu is set to arrive along with another 5-star character, Albedo, with Patch 1.2 on December 23.
What do you think of Ganyu as the new heroine in Genshin Impact? Do you think she should have differed more from Amber?
