Genshin Impact _ 's highly-anticipated 2.7 update arrived on May 31, bringing with it new 5-star Hydro character Yelan alongside a rerun of Xiao's banner, immediately breaking day one sales records. Based on _Genshin Impact 's typical six-week release cycle, version 2.7 was initially expected to arrive on May 11. However, HoYoverse announced the update would be delayed, with players receiving compensation in the meantime. The longer-than-usual wait doesn't seem to have deterred Genshin Impact players - and perhaps the bonus Primogems incentivized some heavier rolling - with the most recent banners seeing record-breaking spend

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. read this post from deltaforceelite.com 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

The Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact are a mysterious order from Snezhnaya who seek the Gnoses hidden within each Archon's body. The purpose for this is largely unknown, though these objects allow the wielder to control each element without a Vision. However, the Genshin Impact manga introduces another Fatui Harbinger and another plot from Snezhnaya to secure power across Teyvat. Since Snezhnaya and their Fatui are an impactful, overarching mystery in Genshin Impact , their inclusion provides information on upcoming plots, characters, and unanswered secrets. Dottore is the manga's main antagonist and a Fatui Harbinger of terrifying renown. Like his compatriots, Dottore influences his targets from the shadows to claim victory, preferring the social arena to the battlefield. This unrelenting villain has visited Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru, meaning he could appear in the upcoming Sumeru update. However, Il Dottore's appearances also answer a crucial question concerning Snezhnaya's military: How did they get so powerful and technologically advan

Between her Breastplate and Devotion skills, Noelle can conjure stone armor and absorb up to 150% of Elemental and Physical damage, making her a human barricade that Xiao can hide behind and mount bold counteratta

There are currently six playable characters in Genshin Impact whose character banners have only been available once when they were first released: Arataki Itto, Kaedehara Kazuha, Kamisato Ayato, Yoimiya, Yae Miko, and Shenhe. It has been officially confirmed by HoYoverse that Itto will get a rerun of his banner in the second half of Genshin Impact 's delayed 2.7 update. Although HoYoverse has yet to announce the banners for Genshin Impact 's 2.8 update , leaks allege that a double banner featuring Kazuha and Yoimiya is coming in the second half of the update, which would be the first rerun for both charact

The record-breaking success of Yelan and Xiao's banners in version 2.7 is multi-faceted with several factors contributing to its popularity. Firstly, the delay of Genshin Impact 's 2.7 update led to great anticipation among Genshin Impact players, building excitement for Yelan's release. Additionally, Yelan has already been referred to as one of the game's best Sub-DPS characters, drawing comparisons with fellow Hydro Sub-DPS standout character Xingqiu. The popularity of Xiao's banner is more surprising, as the character already received rerun of his banner, Invitation to Mundane Life earlier this year. However, Xiao remains one of Genshin Impact 's top DPS characters , especially for Anemo, so this may have played a role in his most recent banner sa

Leaks come from various sources in Genshin Impact 's community, but many of them come from insiders and beta testers. There are some leakers who are known as "reliable" and consistently give out information that turns out to be mostly correct in regards to Genshin Impact 's future.

Genshin Impact 's record-breaking success shows no signs of stopping any time soon, with the role-playing game attracting new players with each new update. The upcoming arrival of the Dendro region Sumeru in version 3.0 promises to be equally successful, with many Genshin Impact players eager to get their hands on the game's first-ever Dendro playable characters, who have yet to be officially announced. As Genshin Impact continues to grow in popularity, it's possible that Yelan and Xiao's day one sales record will be broken and, if _Genshin Impact _ 's previous character banner sales are anything to go by, it's only a matter of t
