The Genshin Impact Version 4.4 Update adds two new playable characters Xianyun and Gaming, a whole new area found in Liyue called Chenyu Vale, a new field boss, and tons of changes!
Genshin Impact Version 4.4 Update Details
The Genshin Impact Version 4.4 Update “Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze” brings us back to Liyue with the new characters and area.
Outfits for Shenhe, Ganyu, and Xingqiu are also being added in this version.
“Passerine Herald” Xianyun
“A new resident in the city, you say? Oh, it's Cloud— I mean, Xianyun. Don't be fooled by her usual manner… She's someone you can truly rely on when the going gets tough. If you ever find yourself in trouble, just tell her — I'm sure she'd be willing to help.”
— Madame Ping
Cloud Retainer, now known as Xianyun, is becoming playable in Genshin Impact Version 4.4. She is an Anemo 5-star character wielding a Catalyst whose kit revolves around Plunge and her mobility as an Anemo character.
“Leonine Vanguard” Gaming
“He sees and hears everything, as if he had the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox, like some kind of mythical beast. Fighting tooth and nail, he drove away bandits and ruffians like devils with all the auspicious momentum of the suanni.”
— A plaque of gratitude received by the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency from a merchant whose caravan was safely escorted by Gaming
“Leonine Vanguard” Gaming is a 4-star Pyro Claymore character. Before he was revealed, unofficial information was circulating referring to him simply as “Lion Dance Boy” or “Lion Boy.”
Chenyu Vale in Liyue now Available
Chenyu Vale: Upper Vale, Chenyu Vale: Southern Mountain, and Mt. Laixin in Liyue will be available to explore for Travelers who meet the requirements!
Completing the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III “Song of the Dragon and Freedom” will unlock a Teleport Waypoin near Liyue's Chenyu Vale: Upper Vale. Teleporting here for the first time will cause a short cutscene and introduction to the area to play.
New Systems in Liyue
Rainjade Oblation:
- Fujin's adeptal energy has transformed into many Spirit Carp that are scattered all over Chenyu Vale. Collect the energy within Spirit Carp and transfer it into the Votive Rainjade within Carp's Rest to increase its level and obtain the blessings of Chenyu Vale.
- Complete the World Quest “The Cloud-Padded Path to the Chiwang Repose” to unlock
In addition, there will be new Fishing Points and “Radiant Spincrystals” in Liyue.
New Weapon – Crane's Echoing Call (5-star Catalyst)
After the equipping character hits an opponent with a Plunging Attack, all nearby party members' Plunging Attacks will deal 28% increased DMG for 20s. When nearby party members hit opponents with Plunging Attacks, they will restore 2.5 Energy to the equipping character. Energy can be restored this way every 0.7s. This energy regain effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.
Ganyu Outfit: Twilight Blossom
A light and graceful festive outfit accented mainly in black nightshade and cerulean blue. Its hair accessory is as radiant as the Qingxin — a pairing that Ganyu is most fond of.
Between the start of the Version 4.4 update and 2024/03/11 03:59, Ganyu's outfit “Twilight Blossom” will be available for purchase in the Character Outfit Shop at a limited-time discount! During the discount period, the price of the outfit is 1,350 Genesis Crystals. The price will revert to 1,680 Genesis Crystals after the limited-time discount ends. The outfit can only be purchased once.
Shenhe Outfit: Frostflower Dew
This Lantern Rite gift that Shenhe received is a set of elegant formal attire that her master, Cloud Retainer had commissioned for her. Red ropes still adorn her arms, but the bitter cold in Shenhe's heart has faded.
Between the start of the Version 4.4 update and 2024/03/11 03:59, Shenhe's outfit “Frostflower Dew” will be available for purchase in the Character Outfit Shop at a limited-time discount! During the discount period, the price of the outfit is 1,350 Genesis Crystals. The price will revert to 1,680 Genesis Crystals after the limited-time discount ends. The outfit can only be purchased once.
Xingqiu: Bamboo Rain
Formal wear prepared by the Feiyun Commerce Guild for Xingqiu. The bamboo prints are refined and the cut is most flattering, but Xingqiu's favorite aspect of the outfit is its inner pockets, into which a thinner novel might be stuffed.
During Version 4.4, Travelers can obtain Xingqiu's outfit “Bamboo Rain” for free by participating in the limited-time “Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze” event.
After Version 4.4 is over, Travelers can buy the outfit in the Character Outfit Shop.
New Boss in Genshin Impact 4.4 – Solitary Suanni
These elegant and proud mystical beasts only live in mountains shrouded in adeptal energy.
It can use Hydro and Anemo simultaneously in battle. Render it Frozen while it is gathering Hydro-aligned adeptal energy, before using Shatter, Melt, or other Elemental Reactions to break the ice and cause it to enter an immobile state. When it is gathering Anemo-aligned adeptal energy, use attacks from Elements that can react with Anemo to destroy the Spiritwind Pearls summoned during the process to achieve the same advantage.
Fast Equip Artifacts
- Quick Configuration: A set of Artifacts will be put together for your reference based on data from recently active players. When generating a configuration, it will only consider Artifacts not already equipped by other characters.
- Custom Configuration: Custom Configuration data will be based on the settings laid out for each character. When using a Custom Configuration, you can configure based on conditions such as Artifact Main Affix, Set Type, and Minor Affixes and choose whether or not to use Artifacts that haven't already been equipped. The configuration created by Custom Configuration can be adjusted, with alternative Artifacts sorted based on the overall priority levels of their Artifact Set and Affixes. When “Other Options” > “All” is selected in Custom Configuration, when the configuration includes Artifacts already equipped by another character, the Artifacts will be removed and equipped to the target character.
