After months of rumors and speculations,Genshin Impactupdate 2.8 has finally introduced two brand-new costumes for two popular characters, Diluc and Fischl. Both of the new skins have a unique backstory, and they can be found in the game’s official shop.
The game rarely introduces character cosmetics to the game with Keqing and Ningguang Lantern Rite event skins being the most recent additions. An interesting post on the officialGenshin Impactsubreddit shows a small detail about Diluc’s skin that most players probably haven’t noticed.

Reddit user vc710 has revealed an interesting detail about one of the new skins. Apparently,equipping Diluc with his new costumewill make the character look slightly taller. Multiple replies in the comment section jokingly claim that this small change makes the skin worth buying. This is the game’s first five-star skin as it includes multiple changes to the character’s combat effects. The Pyro flames on the new skin are slightly darker, and they seem to have a much higher contrast.
A couple of comments claim that Diluc is not taller with the new skin, he just has higher heels. However, fans have pointed out that considering that players cannot take off or change Diluc’s boots, the only thing that matters is that Diluc’s model is taller with the new skin. Diluc’s new costume has certainlyreintroduced this forgotten characterto many players' team compositions. Even though the new look has absolutely no impact on his power on the battlefield, fans claim that the new Pyro effects are certainly like a breath of fresh air.
The skin normally costs 2480 Genesis Crystals which is around $40, however during the duration of update 2.8, players can acquire the new skin for 1980 Genesis Crystals or around $30. The majority of the community still thinks that the new skin is way overpriced, especially since players canspend the money on Primogemsand acquire a brand-new five-star character from the game’s limited banner.
Luckily, developer HoYoverse has decided to reward their players with a free skin for one ofGenshin Impact’s most popular four-star characters, Fischl. In order to get the free skin, players need to have Adventure Rank 32 or higher and enter the Summertime Odyssey event. After collecting 16 Phantasmal Conch shells, players can go to the event menu and collect the skin. It should be noted that the skin will be obtainable for free only for the duration of the event.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
