While Freeze damage is nothing to sneeze at in the game, most players opt to build their teams with the more powerful Melt, Vape, and Swirl Elemental combos. However, one perma-freeze comp that works far better than one may think includes pairing the 5-star Hydro character Childe (Tartaglia) as the Main DPS with Ganyu and Quqi's awesome Cryo skills and Sucrose's Anemo Swi

Also known as Alatus, Xiao is one of the most popular Anemo characters in the hit JRPG Genshin Impact . In order to get the most out of Xiao's inherent skillset, pairing the hyper-carry DPS unit with certain Cryo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, and other elemental characters becomes absolutely paramount to support the character and conquer the game. In contrast, pairing Xiao with the wrong characters will spell certain d

The Golden Apple Archipelago has been leaked to be returning alongside Patch 2.8 and will be the main site of a huge event, similar to the Golden Apple Archipelago's first debut in Genshin Impact 1.6. This event will be very similar to the first one in scale and level of rewards, and the Golden Apple Archipelago islands have apparently been reworked to be completely new places to explore, including some type of castle and Domain. The Fischl skin is also allegedly the big reward from this event, which will be traded for with currency obtained from the event activities like Barbara's skin was when it was an event reward. The Golden Apple Archipelago will also apparently become a permanent addition to Genshin Impact , meaning that, unlike the islands' first debut, they won't be removed from the game after Version 2.8 is o

Diluc is one of Genshin Impact 's 5-star characters and one of the first players meet in their adventure across Teyvat. It quickly becomes apparent that the Pyro Vision-wielder despises the Knights of Favonius, but players who don't obtain this character won't find out why. In-game dialogue suggests Diluc's disdain comes from a disagreement with how the Knights of Favonius operate, but the whole truth is far darker. As shown in the Genshin Impact manga, Diluc once worked with the Knights of Favonius and became the youngest Cavalry Captain at age 14. Unfortunately, his brilliant career ended when his father perished during an encounter with Ursa the Drake. Diluc, wracked with grief and guilt over failing to save his father, lost faith in the Knights of Favonius when a Favonius Inspector (Epoch) requested that Diluc amend events in his report to protect the Knights' reputation. Unwilling to omit his father's heroism, Diluc left the Knights of Favonius and pursued an independent crime-fighting operation as the Darknight H

Much like Raiden Shogun, Sucrose can act as a great battery for Xiao in Genshin Impact . Moreover, the 4-star Anemo character is easier to unlock, faster to build Constellations for, and more compatible with Xiao than most. However, it's Sucrose's Elemental Mastery that will directly bolster Xiao's Swirl Damage and give him a tremendous advantage on the battlefi

Between Raiden's awesome Electro polearm weapon and her Baleful Omen skill that allows her to share with Xiao the almighty Eye of Stormy Judgment, the two can increase their A0E Electro damage level and punish foes twice as hard as they could on their

Players know little about Genshin Impact 's Pyro Archon, save that she rules Natlan , her name is Murata, and is somehow related to Mondstadt's Vennessa and her people. However, the Genshin Impact manga elaborates on this Archon's descendants, which suggests the Pyro Archon could be a cruel ruler. Vennessa and her people are known as Children Of Murata for their bright red hair. The Muratans leave their homeland for unknown reasons, though considering Vennessa's nobility and dedication to peace, they likely refused to participate in Natlan's bloodshed. It's unknown if Vennessa's whole Clan is related to Murata or used the title to maintain some connection to their homeland. However, Venti (aka the Anemo Archon, Barbatos) states that Murata has turned into a " wayward, warmongering wretch ," suggesting that Natlan is in worse shape than most other nations. If Natlan's culture forced Vennessa to abandon her home for continue reading this.. more peaceful lands, it could be the greatest threat in Teyvat

Another leak for Genshin Impact 2.8 is that players will be able to receive another free 4-star weapon, like Genshin Impact 2.7's Fading Twilight Bow. This free weapon is a 4-star sword with the somewhat humorous placeholder name "This Is A Sword," and the model for it has been leaked. It is a bright red sword that matches really well with Kazuha's color scheme, supporting the leak that Kazuha will be receiving a rerun in the latter half of Patch 2.8. This Is A Sword has an ATK main stat, and its leaked passive reads as follows: "When a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack hits an opponent, it will whip up a Hewing Gale, dealing AoE DMG equal to 180% of ATK and increasing ATK by 15% for 8s. This effect can be triggered once every 8s." So while this sword matches Kazuha aesthetically, it is definitely not the best choice for building Kazuha in Genshin Impact , as he generally wants to be stacked with as much Elemental Mastery as possi
