Genshin Impact developer, HoYoverse, recently confirmed that three new Fontaine characters will be arriving in the game’s upcoming version 4.0. Rumors are also going around mentioning that the three five-star characters, Freminet, Lynette, and Lyney, are related to each other.
Not only this, but a new Genshin Impact leak has provided more information about the upcoming characters. According to rumors, Lyney will most likely be a five-star unit, whereas Freminet and Lynette will possess a lower rarity as compared to Lyney.
Lyney will be the only new five-star character in Genshin Impact, meaning the first Limited Character Banners in Fontaine will feature three separate re-runs. A new Reddit post on the Genshin Impact Leaks has also unveiled the list of characters that will be featured in the two banner cycles during update 4.0.
As per the leak, the update’s first part will feature the Pyro user called Lyney as well as the famous Hydro character called Yelan. On the other hand, Childe and Zhongli will be featured in the second banner cycle. It has been confirmed that Lyney will be a DPS character, and her kit will revolve around using his Charged Attack.
Like Ganyu, Lyney’s Charged Attack will have two separate damage levels, which will be determined by the time of charging. A huge part of his kit is taunting his enemies, giving players plenty of time to change their positions when required.
Yelan is among some of the game’s most famous five-star characters, and her last appearance alongside Hu Tao has broken the overall revenue record of the game. She is a Hydro character in Genshin Impact equipped with an epic kit that allows her to perform in nearly every team composition type.
Although she can deal plenty of Hydro damage, she performs best as a sub-role since most of her damage effects can remain on the field when she gets swapped out. Childe, also known as Tartaglia, is another powerful Hydro user whose major role is DPS. It is likely that he will appear in the main story along with the other Harbingers, like Arlecchino, who was recently announced as one of Fontaine’s main antagonists.
Fans sure can’t wait to welcome the three new five-star banner characters to Genshin Impact and experience their power!
