The game is keeping fans on their toes with the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.7 version update, which although not 5.0, promises to be extraordinary. The update is scheduled for June 5th and here is a details.
In summary, there will be three new characters: Clorinde (DPS) and Sigewinne (Support) as 5-star characters, and Sethos (DPS) as a 4-star character. There will also be new dungeons introduced monthly, a new storyline featuring the twins, and a sneak peek into the new nation of Natlan, set to arrive in version 5.0.
In the wake of Arlecchino, we’ll also be seeing the arrival of two more playable characters who can utilize the Bond of Life mechanic in different ways. Clorinde is a Champion Duelist of Fontaine and a five-star Electro sword wielder. When she is in the “Night Vigil” state, Clorinde can alternate between different attack styles, using piercing pistolet attacks to accumulate Bond of Life and a powerful lunging sword attack that clears her Bond of Life and restores her HP. Healing effects she receives through other means during her “Night Vigil” state are added to her Bond of Life instead of her HP. Sigewinne, on the other hand
as a Melusine and the Fortress of Meropide’s head nurse — uses Bond of Life to help her teammates. Her healing will be increased based on the total Bond of Life values across all the characters in her party. In combat, Sigewinne can fire a giant bouncing bubble to trap and attack nearby enemies, as well as to heal and buff her team.
Aside from these two Fontainian characters, we’ll also see the arrival of the new four-star archer Sethos who can fire piercing Electro arrows in combat. Sethos’s Charge Level 2 attack restricts his movements but fires a formidable, piercing shot. But the successor to the Temple of Silence can initiate a ritual with his Elemental Skill, consuming Elemental Energy to shorten the charging time, then restoring it whenever his attacks trigger any type of Electro-related Elemental Reaction. His Elemental Burst can also fire consecutive enemy-piercing bolts.
For version 4.7’s first half, Clorinde and Sethos will debut alongside Alhaitham’s rerun. The second half will feature Sigewinne and Furina’s rerun. Additionally, there will be legendary quests for Clorinde and Sigewinne waiting for travelers to experience.
Starting from July 1, a fresh monthly-reset challenge domain “Imaginarium Theater” will emerge in a hidden chamber within Mondstadt Library, and the Spiral Abyss will shift to a monthly update cycle on the 16th day of each month. Imaginarium Theater offers combat challenges of multiple difficulty levels but allows only characters of designated elements (plus a few exceptions) to participate, with a limit on the number of times they can fight. During the challenge, players will receive a variety of buffs and debuffs, and will be able to gradually assemble and adjust their team builds from the characters they own, the initial lineup of six designated characters preset by the domain, friends’ Supporting Cast characters, and a few special guests.
More challenge domains also provide richer rewards. The current “Imaginarium Theater” rewards its champions with up to Primogems ×620 per month, a series of new photo poses for certain characters, new bonuses for first-time completion, and “Fantastical Blessings” that will apply in the open world for the six designated characters of the month. Meanwhile, the total amount of Primogem rewards from Floors 9 to 12 of the Spiral Abyss will be increased to 800.
Moreover, the game has teased some peak information, such as the main storyline featuring the twins and the intriguing question, “Do you think your twin is ‘defective’?” There’s also a small preview of Natlan, the new nation set to be updated in version 5.0, which means another two versions to anticipate.
Version 4.7 will be playable starting from June 5th. Genshin Impact is available for free on PC, mobile, and PlayStation.
