A new Genshin Impact leak has apparently revealed that players will be able to acquire a new four-star weapon without spending any Primogems in the upcoming version 3.3. Previously, developer HoYoverse also confirmed two new characters for the next update, the long-awaited five-star named Wanderer and a new Anemo user known as Faruzan.Weapons and artifacts play a huge part in every character's build in Genshin Impact as they have the largest impact on their overall damage potential. Weapons have fixed main stats and sub-stats, which makes ascending them much easier compared to artifacts that include a tedious RNG component.A very credible leaker named Genshin_Intel has revealed more information about an upcoming event that will grant a free four-star weapon. According to the leak, the new event in Genshin Impact version 3.3 will be called Akitsu Kimodameshi, and it will feature a simple brick breaker mini-game with four different elements. The event will apparently allow players to co-op in all of its different stages except three. The weapon won't be the only reward as the post revealed that completing all levels of the mini-game will grant around 990 Primogems, Inazuma's ascension materials, and one Crown of Insight.
According to recent rumors, the new sword named Toukabou Shigure will be a great choice for supportive characters that need additional Elemental Mastery. Previous Genshin Impact leaks have revealed that the weapon will have the following stats:
- Weapon type: Sword
- Base Attack: 510
- Secondary stat: Elemental Mastery
- Secondary stat max. value: 165
- Passive: Attacking an enemy will inflict them with an effect called Cursed Parasol that causes the weapon holder to deal 16-32% (based on refinement level) more damage to that target for 10 seconds. If the character leaves the field, this effect will stop.
This weapon can be used by the popular Anemo user Kaedehara Kazuha who has proven to be one of the most used characters in the Spiral Abyss. He has the ability to crowd-control a large group of enemies, shred their damage resistance, and provide a decent damage buff to his team members.
Players like the fact that they will be able to increase the weapon's refinement level for free during the event which can take its damage and utility potential to the next level. A lot of new Sumeru characters revolve around using Elemental Mastery, which means that Toukabou Shigure could be the go-to weapon for some upcoming Genshin Impact characters.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
