Genshin Impact’s recent live stream event has already confirmed the two five-star units that will be featured in the first part of 4.0, the new five-star unit Lyney and the popular Hydro bow user Yelan. The game’s official Twitter account has confirmed which four-star characters and weapons will accompany Lyney and Yelan on the upcoming banner cycle. According to the tweet, the first banner forGenshin Impactupdate 4.0will feature the following characters:
Overall, fans seem very happy about the four-star lineup since it features one new character, Lynette, and Bennett who is widely considered as one of, if not the strongestfour-star unit inGenshin Impact. Bennett’s power lies in his Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage, which provides an extremely powerful heal that can buff the whole team composition. The third character, Barbara, is probably the weakest unit in this lineup and most players claim that they’ve already maxed out her constellation levels.
The new five-star bow user Lyney will fill the role of the main DPS, at least according to the footage shown in the recent Special Program event. Lyney’s playstyle revolves around using his special Charged Attack, similar to Tighnari and Ganyu. The second five-star character, Yelan, was part ofGenshin Impact’s most successful bannerwhen it comes to revenue.
Both of these characters are bow users and their signature weapons, The First Great Magic and Aqua Simulacra, will both be featured in phase 1 of the update. The First Great Magic is a new bow that has great synergy with Lyney since its passive can significantly increase the holder’s Charged Attack damage. The fact that it has features Crit Damage as the secondary stat makes it very flexible as it can be used by mostDPS characters inGenshin Impact.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
