Genshin Impact 3.5 Livestream

The announcement for the English stream features Dehya and Albedo joining Aether in the livestream. The title of the version, “Windblume's Breath” also hints at some of the events and banners coming up. Unofficial sources have also disclosed some of the probable reveals during the stream.

New Character – Dehya

“The Eremites,” a loosely-organized mercenary organization, is Sumeru's most powerful armed force. They consist of many mercenaries and bands of warriors-for-hire who carry out assignments independently.

One such brigade is the “Blazing Beasts,” whose most renowned member is Dehya, also known as the “Flame-Mane.”

We initially meet Dehya in the middle of our journey in Sumeru, and she accompanies us until the end of the Archon Quest. Now, the Flame-Mane Eremite will finally become playable!

“Flame-Mane” Dehya is a 5-star Pyro Claymore character set to be revealed on the Genshin Impact Version 3.5 Livestream to be playable on the same version. Learn more about Dehya and her Skills, Constellations, and more here.

New Character – Mika

“Mika, who is a member of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company, always diligently fulfills all the duties that come his way.

Setting up tents, lighting fires for cooking, repairing equipment… Even Hertha, the logistics captain, has nothing but praise for Mika's excellent efficiency.”

We only had a glimpse of Mika a couple Versions ago, during an event. Now, players who want to know more about him can now do so with his reveal as a playable character!

“Coordinates of Clear Frost” Mika is an upcoming 4-star Cryo Polearm slated for a Genshin Impact Version 3.5 release. You can learn more about Mika here.

New Enemy – Abyss Herald: Frost Fall

A monster from the Abyss Order that wields frigid, icy blades in battle.

Just as there are saints who will spread and glorify the profound gospel, there are envoys who must correct any twisted strains and remove any dissonance.

People often say that steel feels like ice as it pierces the body, but this dark frost is said to freeze even the soul.

An Abyss Order monster that uses a dark power to command ice and frost in battle. Some of its attacks decrease the Stamina of characters when they deal DMG against them.

New Enemy – Black Serpent Knight: Rockbreaker Ax

A guard of some standing in the court, sundering the foes of the nation’s rulers using a sword art known as “Truthseeker.”

Though Truthseeker is, strictly speaking, a sword art, but its teachings can also be used with various other weapons — and in the realm’s darkest hour, those who had to protect their homeland had little room to be fussy anyway.

This seems to have once been a trusted guard of high standing in some land who wielded the power of Geo. Its attacks become stronger and fiercer when they hit shielded characters, at the cost of its own health.
