Developer HoYoverse held the special program for Genshin Impact Version 3.5: Windblume’s Breath. During the livestream, players got to see the update trailer, learned about the upcoming character & weapon banners as well as new and returning events making their way to the game. Let’s dive right in and see what Genshin version 3.5 has to offer – check out the official preview page for more info!
“Some say fate hides in the wind, like the fragrance of flowers, like rain and dew… Such is the law of nature, absolute and insurmountable. Others, on the other hand, strive to seek out their own destinies, or even go as far as to reweave the threads of fate. But at the end of it all, is this not an orchestration of fate?”
Version 3.5 marks the addition of two new characters to the roster of the game: 5-star Pyro Claymore Dehya and 4-star Cryo Polearm Mika. During the stream, the developers have revealed the lineup for the upcoming banners:
- Genshin Impact – Version 3.5 Phase I: Dehya (Pyro Claymore) & Cyno (Electro Polearm);
- Genshin Impact – Version 3.5 Phase II: Kamisato Ayaka (Cryo Sword) & Shenhe (Cryo Polearm). Newbie Mika will be running as one of the featured 4-stars with the second phase banners.
Additionally, weapon banners will be featuring the corresponding signature weapons: Beacon of the Reed Sea (Claymore) & Staff of the Scarlet Sands (Polearm) for Phase I and Mistsplitter Reforged (Sword) & Calamity Queller (Polearm) for Phase II. Stay tuned to learn more about the featured 4-star characters and weapons!
Note: starting with Version 3.6, Dehya will be joining the Standard Banner like Tighnari before her.
Bough-Keeper Dainsleif is making his appearance again once the new version introduces Archon Quest Chapter III: Act VI “Caribert”. Additionally, the developers have revealed that new rewards will be added for Archon Quests: for each Archon Quest Act completed, Travelers will receive an Intertwined Fate.
If you are currently caught up to the Archon Quests and Interludes, that means 22 Intertwined Fates once the update goes life. Focalors funds, anyone?
The honeyed scents of the Windblume Festival are wafting upon the winds again. During this festival of unparalleled love, why not come to the city upon the lake for a spell and lean to follow the floral fragnances riding the winds of freedom? In addition to seeing the usual Mondstadt cast, players will also quest alongside Collei, Cyno and Tighnari and have a chance to earn the brand-new Claymore weapon: Mailed Flower.

- Fungus Mechanicus event
- Vibro-Crystal Verification event
