Genshin Impact 3.6 Livestream Recap
The VOD of the Genshin Impact Version 3.6 Livestream “A Parade of Providence” can be found here.
New Character – Baizhu
“Dr. Baizhu… Something is bothering him, but he won’t tell me anything… He hates death, but he’s always researching it… I don’t understand… But that’s not a problem. I know… that Dr. Baizhu is a good person.”
– A page ripped out of Qiqi’s notebook by an unknown person
As previous leaks suggested, Baizhu will be released this update, too. He has been known to players since the Traveler's time in Liyue early on in the story. Learn more about Baizhu on our dedicated Skills, Talents, Materials, and more feature.
“Beyond Mortality” Baizhu is a 5-star Dendro Catalyst character. As many may already know, Baizhu is the owner of Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue, and is closely associated with Qiqi.
New Character – Kaveh
“Mainstream Sumeru academia tends to hide a certain fact from time to time, which is that for some people, talent can occasionally be more of a burden instead. Nevertheless, this view can also be but an excuse. In truth, it is your character that determines your destiny first and foremost. The aforementioned ideas are the sort that Kaveh will persistently rebut.”
– Alhaitham
While we haven't known him as long as Baizhu, Kaveh has also risen to the top of popular Genshin characters. This can be attributed to his looks, his demeanor, or the fact that he's Alhaitham's roommate-slash-frenemy. He isn't featured on the announcement photo, but leaks also heavily suggest that Kaveh will be announced as a playable character during the Genshin Impact Version 3.6 Livestream.
“Empyrean Reflection” Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro Claymore character, the second after Yaoyao. Learn more about him on our Kaveh Skills, Materials, Talents, and more feature.
New Weapon – Jadefall Splendor
The Jadefall's Splendor is a 5-star Catalyst and is Baizhu's signature weapon. It's also expected to be his best in slot weapon.
“An ancient gem that symbolizes the will of an ancient people who sought a promised land. It still gently emanates a mysterious ancient power that protects the land.”
Stats at level 90:
- ATK: 608.07
- Bonus HP%: 49.62%
- Primordial Jade Regalia: For 3s after using an Elemental Burst or creating a shield, the equipping character can gain the Primordial Jade Regalia effect: Restore 4.5 Energy every 2.5s, and gain 0.3% Elemental DMG Bonus for their corresponding Elemental Type for every 1,000 Max HP they possess, up to 12%. Primordial Jade Regalia will still take effect even if the equipping character is not on the field.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Banners
The Genshin Impact 3.6 stream finally showed what people were waiting for: the banners.
The first phase of Genshin Impact Version 3.6 banners will feature amazing reruns, “Physic of Purity” Nahida (5-star Dendro Catalyst) and “Dance of Lotuslight” Nilou (5-star Hydro Sword) on their respective banners, “The Moongrass' Enlightenment” and “Twirling Lotus.”

New Area – Sumeru: Desert Expansion
Far beyond the grand celebration in Sumeru City, a new area consisting of wastelands and an oasis has been revealed deep within the desert. This area has been damaged by Gray Crystals and corruptive Purple Mists. According to the legends, this place was one of the main battlefields during the Khaenri'ah cataclysm five hundred years ago. Fortunately, visiting Travelers are accompanied on their visit by “Pari,” creatures unique to the oasis. Using their ability to fly, Travelers can reach unreachable areas and thereby discover mysteries.
During the Genshin Impact 3.6 stream, we got a glimpse of some of the unique mechanics in this area.
New Weekly Boss – Dragon of Verdure, Apep
A new Trounce Domain will be introduced in the new area, which will allow players to challenge what was the ruler of ancient Sumeru, Apep the “Dragon of Verdure.” Players can learn more about Apep and the history of Sumeru by playing through Nahida's Story Quest “Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter: Act II.”
New Boss – Iniquitous Baptist
A creature of the Abyss Order that can manipulate multiple elements at once and use shields of the corresponding elements to defend against damage. In battle, it will create Elemental Rings, through which it will channel a powerful attack. Use Reactions to destroy all the Rings to prevent the oncoming catastrophe.
New Enemy – Hydro Hilichurl Rogue
A mysterious hilichurl warrior that can manipulate Hydro to a certain degree. Such hilichurls will use Hydro Slimes in battle to launch Mist Bubbles. Burst these Hydro Slimes to cause their effects to rebound on the Rogues.
New Enemy – Anemo Hilichurl Rogue
A mysterious hilichurl warrior that can manipulate Anemo to a certain degree. In battle, such hilichurls will enter a hovering state with the aid of Anemo Slimes. Attack these Anemo Slimes to shoot the Rogues down.
New Enemy – Consecrated Horned Crocodile
A reptile that was warped and transformed by its consumption of the body of a mighty life-form. During combat, it will enter the powerful Phagocytic form. Some of its attacks will unleash Phagocytic Energy Blocks. Use the corresponding elemental attacks to destroy these Energy Blocks to absorb the power within them, which can then be unleashed when attacking the Consecrated Horned Crocodile, dealing significant DMG and paralyzing the creature temporarily.
New Enemy – Consecrated Fanged Beast
A predator that was warped and transformed by its consumption of the body of a mighty life-form. During combat, it will enter the powerful Phagocytic form. Some of its attacks will unleash Phagocytic Energy Blocks. Use the corresponding elemental attacks to destroy these Energy Blocks to absorb the power within them, which can then be unleashed when attacking the Consecrated Fanged Beast, dealing significant DMG and paralyzing the creature temporarily.
