A well-known leaker showcases 3 characters from the action RPG Genshin Impact on Twitter, who were supposed to be revealed in September.
The leaks come from UBatcha, a person who has often been correct in the past. Therefore, we consider the information to be quite likely.
What has been leaked? In separate tweets, UBatcha shows videos from the beta of update 3.1. They briefly demonstrate the gameplay of 3 new characters: Nilou, Candace, and Cyno. We can see normal and charged attacks as well as elemental skills. UBatcha also provides a few short details for each video.
Nilou
The character Nilou is an elegant sword fighter of the element water. Visually, she resembles none of the previous characters in Genshin Impact.
She can use her elemental skill after a symbol appears above her head. Nilou then performs several Hydro attacks.
Her burst skill is an AoE attack. She creates a wave around her, shaped like a lotus, to attack enemies.
You can find a tier list of the currently best characters here.
Candace
Visually, Candace resembles a mix between a witch and a pirate.
Her element is also water. However, she does not wield a sword but fights with a spear and occasionally uses a shield. This is unusual, as no other character in Genshin Impact holds a shield.
Candace uses the shield for normal attacks but also for her elemental skill. According to the tweet, you can tap or hold the button to charge the attack.
Cyno
Cyno visually resembles the ancient Egyptian god Anubis, as his headgear has a similar shape. This gives him an immediately mystical vibe.
For this character, UBatcha provides no information as he needs to read the correct kit first. What we do see is that Cyno belongs to the electro type and wields a spear as a weapon.
Cyno’s elemental skill is, according to the video, an electric thrust that he executes with his weapon. His burst envelops him in electric energy while he attacks enemies with his hands.
It is important to keep in mind that these are just leaks. These are not official information from the developers. Until the content is officially announced, things may still change.
What do you think about the leaks? Do you find the user UBatcha credible? Or would you rather not get your hopes up too soon and wait for official announcements to avoid disappointment? Which of the 3 characters excites you the most? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
