With Genshin Impact Version 3.0 only 2 days away, Hoyoverse has already begun drip marketing for Version 3.1. The official Genshin Impact Twitter account recently released the official splash arts for their upcoming Version 3.1 Characters- thus confirming some latest leaks early on. With three new characters scheduled for Version 3.1, we can imply fewer or no reruns on the Version 3.1 update.
Version 3.1 Confirmed Characters by Genshin Impact
Version 3.1 will release Cyno, Nilou and Candace as playable characters. With two of them being 5-stars, we can expect them to fill up both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Version 3.1 as individual character banners. One of them will also feature Candace who’s the 4-star unit among the lot. Below are some of the details we know about them so far.
Cyno
Cyno has been revealed to be an electro user and leaks suggest he’ll use a polearm as his weapon. His constellation is called ‘Lupus Aureus’ and his titles include- General Mahamatra and Judicator of Secrets. He’s a busy, high-ranking Sumeru government official and is said to be the protector of Sumeru- similar to Xiao’s role in Liyue.
Nilou
Nilou has quickly become a popular character in the player base after her performance in the Version 3.0 Trailer- ‘The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings’. She’s a 5-star Hydro user and leaks suggest her weapon type is also polearm. Her constellation is called ‘Lotos Somno and her fans revere her as the ‘Star of Zubayr Theater’. She’ll be a vital part of the upcoming Sumeru Archon Quests seeing as how she chose the path of the arts and muses in a land that hails wisdom and logic above all else.
Candace
Candace is a 4-star Hydro unit and she has an interesting design seeing as how she’s the only character we’ve seen who wields a physical shield in her character model splash art. She’s the Guardian of Aaru Village and her constellation is called ‘Sagitta Scutum’. Her weapon type is also speculated to be polearm which makes this update polarised in that regard. Players are already speculating if her shield could mean she’s a tank character and the first viable Hydro shielder in the game.
All the above characters have interesting and attractive designs which means that Version 3.1 will be bountiful for Genshin Impact.
