Genshin Impact 3.5 livestream

If you missed all the official announcements, then you can watch the livestream in its entirety via the YouTube video linked above.

Genshin Impact 3.5 banners

The Genshin Impact 3.5 banners see the release of Dehya, a Pyro character that belongs to the faction of Eremites — a band of mercenaries who carry out tasks for the highest bidder. Dehya’s abilities are tailored around raising her allies’ resistance to interruption, and can even unleash coordinated attacks when she’s not on the battlefield. Her Elemental Burst also deals significant AoE Pyro damage.

Dehya is also joined by Cyno in Phase 1 of the 3.5 update, while Phase 2 will see Mika, Shenhe, and Ayaka return. This is great news for any Travelers that have missed out on these banner reruns or simply wish to gain access to their powerful Constellations.

Both Dehya and Cyno will be joined by the following 4-stars:

• Barbara (Hydro)
• Bennett (Pyro)
• Collei (Dendro)

Genshin Impact 3.5 events

Aside from a new story quest being added in 3.5, the main event is the Windblume Festival — an event that celebrates a Thousand Winds. There are plenty of free Primogems, Mystic Enhancement Ore, and Mora on offer.

Mini-games, including the rhythm game “Ballads of Breeze,” the maze chase game “Floral Pursuit,” and
the photo-touring mode “Breezy Snapshots,” will be available for a limited time. The festival will
also welcome foreign guests from faraway Sumeru. As Collei revisits Mondstadt with Tighnari and
Cyno, an adventure surrounding a mysterious prophecy will begin.

The following events will also make a return:

Fungus Mechanicus

During the event, players must direct their Lil’ Fungi to defeat all the Mechanici. Lil’ Fungi will automatically choose the nearest Mechanicus and attack it. At the same time, the opposing Mechanici will target the Lil’ Fungus closest to it.

Vibro-Crystal Verification

During the event, help the Fontaine researcher who has come to Liyue to study the harmonic motion between gems known as Vibro-Crystals. Complete the challenges to obtain rewards such as Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Weapon Ascension Materials, Mystic Enhancement Ore, and Mora.

Spices from the West: Northerly Search

Help the researcher by taste-testing a number of local dishes. Travelers will need to create seasoning with ingredients sourced from the overworld, before adding them to the pot in the correct order. Simply hit the button that corresponds to the right ingredient to complete the minigame.

Genshin Impact 3.5 TCG update

Just like with the previous Genshin Impact 3.4 update, the 3.5 update also includes a number of new Genius Invokation TCG mechanics. The Heated Battle Mode reduces the Elemental Dice required for playing cards and casting Character Skills.

In fact, the number of elemental dice required to play the first card from your hand, every round, will be reduced by two. Also, the number of elemental dice required to use the first character skill will be reduced by one each round. This drastically speeds up the game and leads to a lot more aggressive plays.

New character cards featuring Eula, Sangonomiya, Kokomi, and Kujou Sara also make their debut in the 3.5 update.

So, there you have it, that’s everything we know about the Genshin Impact 3.5 update. In the meantime, be sure to check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and guides.
