Genshin Impact Version 3.2 concludes the Sumaru Archon Quest, two new characters, and a whole lot more. Here's what's new in Genshin Impact 3.2

Genshin Impact 3.2 Update

Travelers who reached Adventure Rank 5 or above before November 1st, 2022 22:00 UTC are eligible for the compensation, totaling to 600 Primogems.

New Characters and Banners

Two new characters will become playable in Version 3.2.

In the first phase of the patch, the Dendro Archon Kusanali, also known as Nahida (5-star Dendro Catalyst), will be featured. She will be obtainable in the “The Moongrass' Enlightenment” Event Wish, alongside the rerun of “Frolicking Flames” Yoimiya (5-star Pyro Bow)

Their respective signature weapons, including the new 5-star Catalyst “A Thousand Floating Dreams,” are featured in the Weapon Banner.

The other new character, “Fantastical Evening Star” Layla (4-star Cryo Sword), will be featured in the second phase of the patch, on the rerun banners of “Astute Amusement” Yae Miko (5-star Electro Catalyst) and “Childe” Tartaglia (5-star Hydro Bow).

New Systems

A new feature has been added to the Serenitea Pot called “Replication.” Travelers can now generate Replicas to record the arrangement of Furnishings in each area of their Realm, and by sharing the corresponding Replica ID, other Travelers can replicate this arrangement. It can also be used on indoor Furnishings, given that the source and destination Mansion are the same.

You need to have the corresponding Realm Layout area unlocked and have the required Furnishings. If your friend enabled their Replica sharing, you can go into their Serenitea Pot and generate a Replica to record their Realm.

New Quests

Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises” will conclude the Sumeru Archon Quest. This is permanently available after the update.

Nahida's Story Quest, “Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter: Act I – Lingering Warmth” has also been added, and is now permanently available. This requires Adventure Rank 40 and the completion of Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises.”

A new world quest named “Next Time, On King of Invokations…” is now available.

New Weekly Boss: Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom – Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal

This boss' attacks will create Energy Blocks. Pick these blocks up to recharge the Neo Akasha Terminal. Once it has energy, the Neo Akasha Terminal can be put to various uses. An in-depth introduction to this new boss can be found here.

New Field Boss: Dendro Hypostasis

A hypostasis that uses an inert shell to defend itself. It now displays abnormalities due to having been corrupted by some unknown influence.

When it is in danger, it will release Restorative Piths that have the properties of Tri-Lakshana Creatures. Use Dendro to revive these Piths and induce a Normal State in them to continuously cleanse the Dendro Hypostasis, and use Electro to trigger their Activated state and speed up the cleansing process.

You can find the Dendro Hypostasis at the Land of Lower Setekh.

New Events

There are four events in Version 3.2.

Fabulous Fungus Frenzy – As the dust begins to settle in Sumeru, a certain researcher organizes a fabulous Beast Tamer tournament with the aid of a wealthy, enigmatic sponsor, and this competition has attracted a sizable number of contestants and audience members alike…

Adventurer's Trials – Branch Master Cyrus of the Mondstadt Adventurers’ Guild has prepared plenty of training challenges to help hone the minds and bodies of rookie adventurers. Nevertheless, he is not sure how hard these challenges are exactly, or whether those new recruits can actually pass. So, he has entrusted you with the work of testing these trials…

Hypostatic Symphony: Dissonant Verse – The gates to an unknown Domain have once more swung open, and the Hypostases within have called to themselves a great many attendants to make up formidable fighting forces. Use the mysterious power of Dissonances within the Domain to defeat these mighty foes!

Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens: Greenery Chapter – The Inazuman illustrator named Asagiri is currently frustrated by her lack of artistic inspiration. Perhaps you and your Kamera might be able to come to her aid…
