If Mondstadt seems like a distant reminiscence, that’s as a result of it’s the place it began. Each Genshin and the wave of copycats it kicked off. This replace is hitting the nostalgia onerous, with the Exchoes of Reminiscence occasion showcasing acquainted scenes, and one other occasion supplying you with the prospect to reconnect with outdated pals. It could be a filler arc, however I can settle for that if it is a journey down reminiscence lane.
It isn’t all heat fuzzies, nonetheless.
You possibly can summon the fearsome Knight Shadows and interact in a duel with Fight Challenges, incomes a particular Catalyst weapon. Or, put your expertise to the check in a sequence of Gliding Challenges. And naturally, we have now our new recruit, and he’s a particular one.
Varka, the Grand Grasp of the Knights of Favonius and Knight of Boreas, lastly joins the fray, and he’s good. He’s a Claymore person who fights in a dual-wield fight type, dealing two several types of Elemental DMG concurrently. Something “dual-wield” instantly has my consideration.
His left-hand claymore offers Anemo, while his left can both be Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo, relying in your staff. His Hexerei impact will allow him to make use of his Elemental ability and Charged Assault extra usually, and I want him in my life now. Flins additionally returns within the first part, however who cares? Give me Varka!

Brandish your Kamera and seize iconic sights throughout Natlan, Fontaina, and Sumeru, or participate in a strategic defence mode to repel waves of enemies. Head to Miliastra Wonderland and play with the brand new voice characteristic in a spread of modes designed round it.
