Developers almost always hold special streams one and a half to two weeks before the release of the next update. They are usually shown on Friday-Sunday. For this reason, the livestream of version 3.5 is likely to take place February 17-19 this year at 15:00 Moscow time. During it will be published promo codes for 300 primogems.
New banners and characters
HoYoverse has already officially introduced two new heroes that, according to insiders, will be added to Genshin Impact in patch 3.5. We are talking about the Twilight mercenary Dehye and the Knights of Favonius cartographer - Mika.
First phase banners
According to available leaks, the first half of the update will increase the chance of obtaining the following characters:
- Dehya (5 stars) - The bearer of Pyro's eye of the god, who masterfully wields a two-handed sword. With the help of an elemental skill, she can hit enemies from her pocket, that is, without being on the battlefield, and the Elemental Burst allows her to constantly deal fire damage, restoring her health with a small HP bar. In the detachment, he will be able to play the role of main or sub-DD.
- Mika (4 stars) - the owner of the Cryo eye of the god, who uses a spear in battle. With the help of an elemental skill, he will be able to increase attack speed and damage, and with an elemental explosion he will be able to heal team members in a certain area (health will also increase when normal attacks are made by an active fighter).
As for the weapons banner, then it will most likely feature the new two-handed sword Lighthouse of the Reed Sea from the "King Deshret" line, which is the signature for Dehya.
Second phase banners
The second half will probably see reruns of Eola (Cryo, two-handed sword), who hasn't been in the banner for a long time and is great to use With You with Micah, and Albedo (Geo, one-handed sword).
New tasks
According to insiders, the developers will release a new Archon quest, in which the Travelers will meet the mysterious character Dainsleif again. Kaeya will also play a big role in the plot. Most likely, we are talking about another mission of the intermediate Thoma. It can reveal new information about the brother or sister of the protagonist and the Cataclysm.
The team is also preparing a Daehya Legends quest, through which players can learn more about the hermit's past and her current work. Recall that in the storyline, she decided to leave the post of Dunyarzada's bodyguard and become a free mercenary again.
Meetings
Recent leaks indicate what awaits players Meeting with Faruzan, which was added to the game in patch 3.3. Many then complained that the heroine was practically not introduced to the Traveler. Apparently, the developers decided to correct this oversight.
Map change
In this update, the developers do not plan to add new areas to the game. However, new temporary or permanent dungeons may appear.
New Enemies
Players will face two brand new elite opponents, as follows:
- Herald of the Abyss: The Onset of Cold is another herald that is able to control ice and frost, that is, it belongs to Cryo enemies. His attacks reduce the character's stamina. Most likely, the first encounter with him will occur as part of some new story quest.
- Knight of the Black Serpent: Rock Crushing Ax - In the past, he was a high-ranking guardsman who can control the power of Geo. When hitting a hero with a shield, he becomes more furious and stronger, but his health is wasted. He will definitely appear in the new task of the Archons.
The leaks also mention certain Pyro, Electro, Hydro, and Cryo Defense Towers, which look like normal primordial constructs: repulsors.
