The developers of fantasy RPG Genshin Impact have shared the cutscene animation ‘Before Dawn Breaks’. Note that it takes place at the apex of the latest Archon Quest, and you might want to avoid watching it if you haven’t gotten that far yet.
“Every will shall be inherited, and no hero fights alone. Civilization is woven into scrolls, engraved in vibrant stones, destined to shine brightly in the darkness.”
Genshin Impact is currently going through Version 5.1: The Rainbow Destined to Burn. The Pyro Archon, Mavuika, has a plan that includes forging an Ancient Name for the Traveler, and that is where the new limited 5-star Geo Sword character Xilonen comes in. The quest series focuses on Natlan’s fight for survival against the Abyss, and the plan created 500 years ago.
Xilonen herself is a versatile support who can reduce enemies Elemental RES or heal her teammates, thanks to her unique combat equipment: Samplers. Alternatively, she can serve as your main Geo DPS, depending on your party’s composition and the amount of Elements present.
