Ever since the launch of Genshin Impact in 2020 , players have been excited to dive into Teyvat's fourth region Sumeru. With Inazuma making its debut in July 2021's 2.0 update, it's been almost a year since the free-to-play RPG has gotten such major new territory added to its expansive map. HoYoverse gave players their first glimpse at the new Dendro region in July by confirming the first Genshin Impact Sumeru characters that will be playa
Shimenawa's Reminiscence is an Inazuman Artifact Set in **Genshin Impact ** that bolsters ATK% as its passive 2-Piece Bonus and increases Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG at the cost of 15 Energy for its 4-Piece Bonus. Specifically, Shimenawa's Reminiscence's 4-Piece Bonus will trigger whenever its wearer casts an Elemental Skill. If the character has 15 or more Energy to spare, the Genshin Impact Artifact Set will consume 15 Energy to buff the DMG of the attacks mentioned above by 50% for 10 seconds. Bear in mind that this effect cannot activate again during its 10-second durat
Each Genshin Impact update gives players new quests to tackle and new characters to acquire, but some releases are much larger than others. Back in July 2021 Version 2.0 introduced the tropical archipelago Inazuma, for example, which came along with the Electro element and a host of new playable characters. Version 3.0 is shaping up to be of a similar size, if not bigger, expanding Genshin Impact into the ominous Sumeru region and introducing its associated Dendro element. New heroes Tighnari and Collei will wield this exciting new element, which is based on plants and nature. Rumors also suggest that Sumeru will be bigger in size than any past Genshin Impact regions, surpassing even Inaz

There is still a lot of mystery surrounding the 3.0 Sumeru region, such as the new Genshin Impact Dendro Archon Kusanali . The 5-star archon was first rumored in a series of leaks from April and is yet to be officially announced. Based on previous release cycles and HoYoverse's early announcement, it's likely that at least part of Collei, Dori, and Tighnari will be available in the first phase of _Genshin Impact _ 's 3.0 Banner - which will launch later this Sum
Genshin Impact ’s Golden Apple Archipelago will have Phantasmal Conches scattered around. This is similar to the Echoing Conches required to obtain Barbara’s "Summertime Sparkle" outfit from last year’s event. These Phantasmal Conches can show players projections of the past. Collecting the necessary number of Phantasmal Conches will reward players Fischl’s outfit, "Ein Immernachtstraum" for free, along with Primogems, Mora, and Level-Up Materi
However, the rest of Inazuma will be inaccessible until the quest " Ritou Escape Plan " has been completed. Once Travelers are free to explore the rest of the islands, they can ride southwest with their Waverider to reach Yashiori Island. After arrival, investigate the area south of the main trail by Musoujin Gorge to find the entrance to the Momiji-Dyed Co
An apparent **Genshin Impact ** Version 3.0 leak reveals the Dendro element's reactions with other in-game elements. The upcoming update for HoYoverse's action RPG is expected to be truly enormous, with the new version bringing with it a new region called Sumeru, new playable characters and a brand-new set of elemental abilities. Genshin Impact characters Collei, Dori, and Tighnari have been officially confirmed for 3.0, but even more new features have apparently been revealed via le
This isn't the first time Genshin Impact has been embroiled in a whitewashing controversy. Out of Genshin Impact 's fifty playable characters, only two have darker skin. Kaeya, one of these two characters, has appeared whitewashed in-game and in promotional materials for Genshin Impact . A description of Kaeya in Genshin Impact referring to his " somewhat exotic appearance " was patched out of the game after drawing criticism. The lack of BIPOC representation in the popular game has often been excused by the current explorable regions being based on European and Southeast Asian countries. Unintentionally, this excuse highlights how Genshin Impact fails to represent the multitude of various groups in China and Japan, on which Liyue and Inazuma are ba
