Genshin Impact features an enormous map which keeps expanding with each new update. Multiple rumors have been hinting at the arrival of a new main region in the next major update, the mysterious land of Sumeru.
With such a vast world, players often stumble upon various glitches, some of which can break the game by making the characters much stronger. A new Genshin Impact video shows an interesting video featuring one of the game's most popular characters.
Reddit user amedefeu shared a video of a hilarious glitch that involves the popular Anemo Yaksha Xiao from Genshin Impact. His elemental skill, Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, allows him to dash forward while dealing Anemo damage. The glitch presented in the video shows Xiao having infinite charges of his elemental skill, which allows him to constantly dash through Teyvat and clear enemy groups in an instant. Lemniscatic Wind Cycling usually has two charges, but unlocking his first constellation, Dissolution Eon: Destroyer of Worlds, allows him to dash one additional time. The video was well received in the community and gathered over 2k upvotes.
Does someone have an explenation about this bug? Or do I have been blessed with C7 Xiao? from Genshin_Impact
Multiple replies in the comment section stated that this is one of the most common bugs with Xiao. Fans claim that this is one of the most fun glitches in the game as it makes Xiao overpowered, and players often use this to clear out camps all over Teyvat. However, amedefeu confirmed that he immediately left the game in order to avoid getting banned for exploiting glitches.
Another common Xiao bug also includes his elemental skill, but it prevents his dashes from dealing any damage. Xiao is one of the strongest DPS characters in all of Genshin Impact. He was originally released back in update 1.3, which was the only update that had three separate banner cycles that featured Xiao, Keqing, and Hu Tao. He is currently available on the first Limited Banner for the ongoing Genshin Impact Version 2.7.
The majority of the community was surprised when developer HoYoverse announced his re-run for the current update, considering that he was recently featured on a limited banner during Version 2.4. The main reasons behind his re-run are probably the fact that this update's story goes deeper into the life of the five legendary Genshin Impact Yakshas. Xiao is joined by the brand-new Hydro bow user Yelan on a double banner and, according to multiple revenue reports, their banner already broke the record for being the most pulled in the game.
Genshin Impact is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development with no confirmed release date.
