Summary
AGenshin Impactleak reveals that players will be able to obtain a new free weapon in the upcoming Version 5.6 update. For a long time,Genshin Impacthas followed a pattern of offering various characters and weapons for free as part of a limited-time event that is usually exclusive to that update.
In the previous update,Genshin Impactplayers had the option to obtain a powerful polearm named Tamayuratei no Ohanashi for free. Completing additional objectives after acquiring the weapon allows players to increase its refinement levels, which greatly impacts its stats.
As usual, with the start of a new update,Genshin Impactalso launches a beta phase for the next version, which contains a wealth of content, including new regions, characters, weapons, and more. The beta phase has already revealed that the upcoming update will introduce at least two characters: Escoffier and Ifa. Escoffier will be a five-star Cryo user from Fontaine, while Ifa is confirmed to be an Anemo user from Natlan, expected to have a lower four-star rarity. The beta leaks forGenshin ImpactVersion 5.6also contain a new free four-star weapon. While the weapon’s name remains unknown, leaks have confirmed that it will be a four-star bow.
Genshin Impact Reveals Details of New Free Four-star Weapon
Overall, fans don’t seem pleased with the weapon, as its passive effect is tied to max HP, a stat that most characters don’t focus on.DPS characters inGenshin Impacttypically scale best with ATK and CRIT stats. HP-based damage scaling is usually reserved for Hydro characters, meaning this weapon may not be as effective for characters with other Visions. The leak also revealed that the bow’s base ATK has been buffed, but many players agree that this change won’t make much of a difference since this stat is less important for Hydro users.
At the moment, there are only three Hydrobow users inGenshin Impact: Tartaglia, Sigewinne, and Yelan. Among them, Yelan might be the only one who could find some use for this bow. While most fans seem disappointed with the weapon’s passive effect, others speculate that it may be designed for a future four-star character. Although rare, it wouldn’t be the first time HoYoverse has introduced a weapon or artifact set before releasing a new character whose kit complements its playstyle.
