With millions of daily players still enjoying the game, Genshin Impact is a huge success that doesn’t show any signs of stopping anytime soon.

With the resounding title of As Light Rain Falls Without Reason, the latest content patch for Genshin Impact has brought a ton of changes and new content. Besides adding the new water region called Fontaine, the patch also brings new enemies, bosses and characters. If you’ve been saving up your Primogems, here are the characters currently available through the Wish system.

  • Lyney (Conjuring Chiaroscuro Banner – Phase 1) – a completely new 5-Star Pyro character that wields a Bow.
  • Yelan (Discerner of Enigmas Banner – Phase 1) – a returning 5-Star Hydro character that wields a Bow.
  • Lynette (Conjuring Chiaroscuro and Discerner of Enigmas Banners – Phase 2) – a new 4-Star Anemo character who wields a Sword in combat.
  • Zhongli (Gentry of Hermitage Banner – Phase 2) – an old 5-Star Geo character that uses a polearm is seeing a return.
  • Tartaglia (Farewell of Snezhnaya Banner – Phase 2) – another older 5-Star Hydro that wields a bow is returning to Genshin.
  • Freminet (Gentry of Hermitage and Farewell of Snezhnaya Banners – Phase 2) – this is a new 4-Star Cryo character that wields a claymore in combat.

MiHoyo have also confirmed that we’ll be able to get our hands on a new 5-Star bow in the new weapon Banner. This bow apparently is Lyney’s iconic weapon, the new 5-Star character that everyone wants to get their hands on.
