However, besides the new characters, the upcoming banners will also include two banner re-runs featuring the fan-favorite Anemo Archon Venti and the famous Geo alchemist Albedo. According to the live stream, Venti will arrive alongside the new Electro polearm character Cyno, and they are scheduled for the first part of the update. Venti is one of the oldest characters in the game, but he is still considered one of, if not thebest support in theGenshin Impactby many players.
Venti’s Wind’s Grand Ode is one of the strongest elemental bursts in the game as it has the potential to group up a large number of enemies into a Stormeye that deals damage. He has been the first Archon that was introduced to the game as the protector of the Mondstadt region. A big part of the community claims that the first banner forGenshin Impactupdate 3.1could break the current revenue record held by Kamisato Ayaka.
Albedo will be featured on a double banner alongside the new Hydro sword user named Nilou. Since his introduction back inGenshin Impactupdate 1.2, Albedo has proven to be a very strong support choice who can be used in the famous Geo team composition that features three or four Geo characters including the Liyue Archon, Zhongli. In order to use Albedo to his full potential, players need to prioritizebuilding Defense and Geo Damage.
The fact that Venti is confirmed for this update gives additional credibility to multiple leakers who claimed that the first four Sumeru updates will feature the fourGenshin ImpactArchons. After Zhongli in 3.0 and Venti in 3.1, players expect thefamous Sumeru Archon Nahidato finally join the live servers in 3.2. At the moment, she serves as a quest-exclusive NPC and one of the most important characters in the Sumeru storyline. This could also mean that the famous Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun, could to arrive in update 3.3.
Genshin Impactis now available on mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
