Leaks about the upcoming update 1.5 of Genshin Impact reveal 2 new characters and some information about what you can expect in the update. We at MeinMMO have gathered this information.
Who is Eula? Eula was one of the characters that were playable in the beta of Genshin Impact.
- Weapon: Claymore
- Element: Cryo
- Rarity: 5 stars
Not much is known about Eula’s backstory. She belongs to the characters from Mondstadt and is from a very old noble lineage. She holds the title “Spindrift Knight” and is the captain of the reconnaissance unit of the Knights of Favonius.
This is what Eula can do: Eula performs a 5-hit combo with her normal attack. Her elemental attack deals Cryo damage and grants Eula a charge of the “Grimheart” buff. This buff increases Eula’s defense and makes her more resistant to interruptions.
Holding the elemental skill consumes the collected Grimheart stacks in an AoE Cryo attack. Enemies also receive a debuff that reduces their physical and Cryo resistance.
Her Elemental Burst “Glacial Illumination” deals AoE Cryo damage and summons a sword that hovers next to Eula. All attacks that deal damage to enemies charge the sword with energy. Once the duration of the sword on the battlefield ends, it causes a powerful explosion dealing physical damage. The damage scales with the amount of energy stacks the sword has collected.
In a leak video, you can see what her attacks look like:
But keep in mind: These are leak information and also details from the beta test. It is therefore possible that this information will differ from the actual release state.
Who is Yanfei?
- Weapon: Catalyst
- Element: Pyro
- Rarity: 4 stars
- Constellation: Bestia Iustitia
Just like with Eula, there isn’t much background info about Yanfei’s story and what role she plays in the story of Genshin Impact. She is one of the characters from the city of Liyue and is widely known as a legal advisor there.
She is described as “brilliant” and it’s said that the blood of a divine beast flows in her veins, just like it does for Ganyu.
This is what Yanfei can do: The normal attack is a fireball that deals Pyro damage. It also grants the “Scarlet Seal” buff, which can collect up to three charges and reduces Yanfei’s stamina consumption. Additional charges extend the duration of the buff.
Yanfei’s elemental attack deals Pyro damage and grants her 3 Scarlet Seals instantly when it hits enemies. Her charged attack consumes stamina and all collected Scarlet Seals in an AoE Pyro attack. More seals mean greater range and strength of the attack.
The Elemental Burst “Done Deal” fires a flame that also instantly grants 3 Scarlet Seals and additionally provides the “Brilliance” buff. This increases the damage of Yanfei’s charged attack and also periodically grants her new Scarlet Seals to further enhance the charged attack.

Also, the same goes here: Enjoy with caution. This information comes from leaks and can change by the release of the character.
