The world of Genshin Impact consists of seven different nations spread all over Teyvat. Each region in the game has its own symbolic element as well as a powerful Archon who serves as its main protector.
Recent Genshin Impact rumors have been hinting that a new major region by the name Sumeru is just around the corner. Genshin's storyline has already confirmed that Sumeru is a mysterious land filled with forests and deserts, but more importantly it's the home of the Dendro Archon. Recent leaks have revealed more information about the first characters that should arrive with this unique region.
One of the most credible leakers named GenshinBLANK has finally revealed the appearance of one of the upcoming characters named Tighnari. He is one of the main topics in the Genshin Impact community at the moment, probably because he's rumored to be the only five-star character in the new major update. Tighnari's model matches the previous leaks claiming that he has huge Klee-like ears and multiple replies in the comment section already claim that Tighnari will most likely be one of the most unusual characters in the playable roster. Previous Genshin Impact leaks have also revealed additional information about the character's unique kit.
According to recent leaks, Tighnari's elemental skill allows him to throw some kind of weapon dealing AoE Dendro damage and generating a field that reduces the cooldown of his stronger Charged Attack. His elemental burst makes him gather the power of all seeds and fire arrows that track down enemies dealing Dendro elemental damage. Once the arrows reach a target, they generate additional arrows that bounce to nearby enemies. Tighnari will have a unique passive that allows him to display nearby resources on the map, but the effect works only in the new Sumeru region.
One of the most exciting things about Tighnari is probably the fact that he will be the first five-star Dendro character in the game. When it comes to his weapon of choice, multiple leaks have been hinting that he will be a bow user. Numerous fans claim that Genshin Impact Version 3.0 will probably be the largest update in the game's history as it will introduce a brand-new region as well as a new element.
The arrival of the new Dendro element will probably have a huge impact on the current character meta as it will introduce new elemental reactions to Genshin Impact's combat system. Recent leaks have already revealed two Dendro elemental reactions: Overgrown and Intensified. However, it should be noted that there might be additional reactions that can be triggered with the new element.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
