Developer HoYoverse has revealed the details of Genshin Impact Version 5.8 Phase I, including character & weapon banners, events, skins, and more! Let’s check them out.
The upcoming Version 5.8: Sunspray Summer Resort is the last patch of Natlan. Next stop: Nod-Krai! Thus, the new character that we will meet, Ineffa, will serve as our first introduction to the region. She is a 5-star Electro Polearm user that introduces the all-new Lunar-Charged reaction. When she is in the team, any Electro-Charged reaction triggered by party members will instead become a Lunar-Charged reaction. Upon activation, a Thundercloud appears on the battlefield, continuously dealing Electro DMG to enemies simultaneously affected by both Electro and Hydro, even with the possibility of triggering CRIT Hits.
In combat, Ineffa can deploy a shield and summon the Multipurpose Smart Assistance Unit “Birgitta.” Birgitta can periodically dash toward enemies to deal AoE Electro DMG, and will launch an additional attack if a Thundercloud created by Lunar-Charged reactions is present nearby.
