A new leak from Genshin Impact reveals the four-star weapons and characters arriving in the upcoming 2.4 update alongside Shenhe and Xiao.
Each Genshin impact The update brings a ton of new content, like new regions to explore, characters to play as, and enemies to fight. The official Genshin impact 2.4 Livestream has revealed two new double banners that will arrive alongside the new Enkanomiya region. The two banner cycles will include four limited five-star characters: Shenhe and Xiao for the first and Zhongli and Ganyu for the second banner cycle.
A recent tweet from a credible leaker named SaveYourPrimos has apparently revealed the four-star characters that will be joining Shenhe and Xiao during the upcoming Genshin impact Version 2.4. As predicted before, the four-star characters for both banners will be identical, meaning that if players want a certain four-star character, they can spend their Primogems on either banner. The double banner will include the following four-star characters:
- Yun Jin – a four-star Goe character
- Chongyun – a four-star Cryo character
- Ningguang – a four-star Geo character
Choosing the right weapon is a critical part of building a Genshin impact character. Each weapon provides a specific set of stats, and the new weapons are usually suitable for the characters they arrive with. Fortunately, the new update 2.4 will include Calamity Queller and Primordial Jade Winged Spear, which are signature weapons for the limited five-star banner characters. The weapon poster will apparently include the following weapons:
- Calamity Queller: a five-star polearm
- Primordial Jade Winged Spear – A five-star polearm
- Favonious Warbow: A Four Star Bow
- The flute: a four-star sword
- Lithic spear: a four-star polearm
- Favonious Greatsword: a four-star Claymore
- The Widsith: a four-star catalyst
Calamity Queller is the only new weapon to arrive in the first banner of the next update according to the leak and is designed to suit Shenhe’s playstyle. Adding this weapon to the elemental ability and Shenhe’s blast means that she will likely be a strong sub-DPS character, meaning her potential lies in dealing damage and providing benefits to the main DPS in the party. The fact that the weapon’s effect is doubled if the character leaves the field suggests that it could be a strong off-screen character who thrives on allowing other characters to deal damage.
There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the arrival of new characters Shenhe and Yun Jin, but it’s safe to say that the announcement of a new region surely stole the show. According to multiple leaks, Enkanomiya will be a vertical map similar to Dragonspine that has multiple layers of explorable terrain. A recent leak of the map has revealed that there is not much distance between the teleportation waypoints on the map, which is usually the case for the vertical parts of Teyvat.
Genshin impact It is now available on mobile devices, PC, PS4 and PS5. A version of Switch is in development.
