Testing of Genshin Impact 1.6 is in full swing. The developers have already begun to answer the first questions of the audience, trying to satisfy the needs of their own players. In this review, we will tell you everything that is known on the Internet about potential innovations that will appear in the game along with the next patch.
New weapon
Catalyst 4 * in the style of Klee
Increases the damage of charged attacks by 16% for 6 seconds when hit by a normal hit. In turn, a successful charged attack increases damage by 8% for 6 seconds.
- Bow 4* Mitternacht Waltz
After a normal attack, the elemental skill's damage is increased by 20% for 5 seconds. Elemental attack against an enemy increases the damage of regular hits by 20% for 5 seconds.
- Sword 5* Oathed Freedom
Gain +10% damage per stack, which stacks and stacks up to 2 times when elemental reactions are generated. After reaching the maximum number of charges, they are consumed - normal, charged and falling strikes of the entire unit deal 16% more damage, and the total attack power is increased by 20% for 12 seconds.
- Catalyst 5* Wind Blessed Garspatum
Shoots three types of crafting bombs:
- huge AoE Pyro damage;
- increased Pyro damage on a single target;
- small Pyro damage over a larger area.
- Sword 4* Heartbreaker
Possibly a reward for the Ke Qing event.
New character
Kazuha - Anemo with a one-handed sword. The hero comes from Inazuma.
Skill (E) and Kazuha's ultimate (Q) with CBT
- Skill:
Kazuha pulls enemies towards him, inflicts damage to Anemo, after which he throws them into the air and takes off himself.
In the air, he has the ability to re-press the Elemental Skill - a unique air attack "Ranran Haishin", which deals Anemo damage and pulls all enemies with a blow.
▫️Press in the air: Ranran Haishin
▫️Lock on the ground: AOE Anemo damage + takeoff.
- Ulta:
Makes a wide slash with the sword that deals AOE Anemo damage and leaves behind a wind zone called "Hand of Aquino"
▫️Hand of Aquino
Deals periodic AOE Anemo damage in an area of fog. Absorbs an element and deals additional damage with the absorbed element. Does not suck enemies.
Kazuha's Passive Talents and Constellations
- Talents:
▫️-20% stamina consumption while running for the whole team.
If an elemental skill touches another element, it will deal an additional 200% damage to that element. Only works once per skill.
▫️Any dispel reaction gives the whole team an elemental damage bonus of the corresponding element for 8 seconds, equal to 0.03% of Kazuha's MS. Can work for different elements at the same time.
- Constellations:
▫️C1: E-shki CD reduced by 10%, the ult instantly recharges the skill.
▫️S2: +200 MS for any character within Kazuha's ult radius.
▫️С4: If Kazuha's energy is less than 45, he gets buffs: E-shka gives 3-4 additional energy. Gains 2 energy every second while gliding.
▫️С6: Ult gives Anemo Infusion for Kazuha. And Kazuha himself receives a bonus damage dealt by auto-attacks, charged and falling by 0.2% of his MS.
Part of Kazuha's ultimate
He draws his sword from its scabbard, which is not there. Given that there have long been rumors about the appearance of a new type of weapon (katana) in Inazuma, this may mean that either their development was canceled and only swords will be left, or we will see them a little later.
New banners
Potential Banners 1.6
information from the forums from the plumbers
First banner:
▫️5★ — Klee
▫️4★ — Fischl, Sucrose, ???
Second banner:
▫️5★ — Kazuha
▫️4★ — Bennett, Rosaria, Razor
Skif (Yalik) - a ship for e-banner movement on the sea
Players will be able to get at their disposal a skiff - a full-fledged vessel for moving through the seas of the new Inazuma region, represented by an archipelago (a set of islands). Two guns (fast and slow) can be installed on the ship at once. Together with the Skiff, sea bases and monster watchtowers should appear, attacking which you can get additional rewards.
Walking on the sea damages the ship, but it can be repaired with special repair kits.
New in the house system
It is planned that individual player characters can be placed in one or another part of the inner world, for example, in a vineyard or in an alchemy laboratory. At the same time, it will be possible to interact with the heroes located there, receiving unique dialogues and gifts from them.
New region - Inazuma?
Genshin TZ and GIntel show off Inazuma's prologue map with CBT
According to the plot, the Traveler with Paimon will either get into a storm, or their boat will simply break. Because of this, they will get stuck on new islands (they are larger than they seem).
▫️This is not Inazuma, but the area is called "Inazuma: Prologue".
▫️Ludi Garpastum festival should take place here, based on old files
▫️ Kazuha will be on these islands on assignment, we will meet him.
▫️Possible rerun of Klee.
+ ▫️Boating mechanic, Genshin Tz hinted that it would be fun. Analogue of the Witcher or Assassins. UPD: They denied it. Just a boat for fast travel + getting to know Bei Dou.
New bosses
Obviously, along with Inazuma, a region in the style of samurai Japan, there will be a new boss - Maguu Kenki
▫️It will drop Kazuha's Ascension Materials.
▫️It will cost 40 resin.
New events
The developers on the stream on April 29 promised that players would have access to more story content with Ke Qing. In particular, an event is expected, which will be called "Chasing the Moon". But, most likely, we will see it only in October 2021, which is close to the 1.8 update in terms of time frame.
Finally, we get to see Ludi Garpastum's Mondstadt festival with a lot of beloved NPCs from the region, notably Dwalin and Alice (Klee's mother).
Free Winds Martial Arts Event
Similar to the Hypostasis event, where the bosses will receive a significant boost. Will go 7 days.
- Bosses:
▫️Day 1 – Ancient Vishap
▫️Day 2 – Oceanid
▫️Day 3 - New Boss
▫️Day 4 – Ancient Vishap.
▫️Day 5 – Oceanid
▫️Day 6 - New Boss
▫️Day 7 - All three together.
new card as a reward
Some characters will receive bonuses in the battle with a certain boss:
- Vishap - Kazuha, Zhong Li, Diona, Noelle.
- Oceanid - Eola, Kli, Rosaria, Yan Fei
- New boss - Childe, Ke Qing, Fischl, Bennett.
- Triple challenge - Kazuha, Klee, Sucrose, Razor.
All events of update 1.6
information from the Celestia Project and from the BiliBili forums.
- Event "Mystical Skiff"
Boat races, coin collecting, shooting obstacles, whirlpools and time trials. - Event "Sudden Eternal Battle" - In fact, an analogue of the event with the arena from 1.4. Killing monsters for a while on different difficulties.
- Event "Martial arts of the Free Winds" - An analogue of the event with Hypostasis or the event with the Disk of Strengthening. Boss Kill Challenges.
- Event "Competitive Magic Ball" Repel the balls that will be thrown at you. Something in the spirit of summer volleyball or baseball.
New quests
From the leaks from the CBT, it became known that along with Kazuha, his storyline should appear in the game, which will be directly related to Bei Dou. Also in the tasks for the characters you can see Qi Qi.
Costume system
Changing the appearance of the wardrobe on CBT
A possible hint at the imminent launch of a line of skins. It is intended that Klee's mother, Alice, when she becomes a playable character, will serve as the point of introduction of the costume system into the game.
Miscellanea
Four new items:
1. Character Ascension Material from New Boss Ronin
2. Curiosity of the islands.
3. Gadget. A set of tools for repairing a boat.
4. New dish. Shrimp, mmm.
Three new event currencies:
The central one is called "Mini-Garpastum", which may be a sign of this event.
Mysterious item from the event store 1.6
This item, which costs more than a crown, is a box with any prototype weapon of your choice. In theory, now such boxes will be in every major event.
Guest Token from 1.6
In 1.6 it will be possible to settle existing characters in special furniture sets made for them.
