Genshin Impact's Hottest Rumor: Two Beloved Characters Set to Dazzle in Stylish New Outfits!

A fresh rumor swirling in the world of Genshin Impact has shed light on the next two characters slated to receive stylish new outfits. While cosmetics typically play a significant role in gacha games, HoYoverse's immensely popular title has been somewhat sparing in offering alternative skins for its playable characters since its inception.

Genshin Impact typically introduces around four new outfits annually, with two debuting during the Lantern Rite Festival and the remaining two unveiling around the summer event. The recent 3.8 update brought fresh attire for two beloved characters introduced back in 2020: Kaeya and Klee. Notably, Kaeya became the second free-to-play character to receive a new outfit, following Lisa's Sumeru-themed skin in version 3.4.

A Twitter account by the name of Teyvattabloid2 has now surfaced with an intriguing post, hinting at the possibility of two Liyue characters receiving new outfits in the near future. The lucky contenders are the five-star Cryo bow user, Ganyu, and the four-star Hydro sword wielder, Xingqiu. If these rumors hold true, it's highly likely that these outfits will be featured in the Lantern Rite Festival, given that both characters hail from the Geo nation, the festival's perennial host. As for their quality, both skins are rumored to have a four-star rarity. However, it's important to take these leaks with a grain of salt, as the Lantern Rite Festival is still several months away.

In terms of their prowess in combat, both Ganyu and Xingqiu occupy coveted positions as S-tier characters within their respective roles. Despite her initial release back in version 1.2, alongside the Geo alchemist Albedo, Ganyu remains the preferred Cryo DPS character for many Genshin Impact enthusiasts. Her unique Charged Attack boasts two levels, determined by the charging time, with the level 2 Charged Attack delivering potent AoE Cryo damage.

On the other hand, the four-star character Xingqiu has established himself as one of the most formidable Hydro users in the game and a crucial member of the renowned National team composition. Surprisingly, this composition, despite comprising only four-star characters, consistently ranks at the top of the Spiral Abyss usage charts. Xingqiu excels as an off-field DPS or support character, continually applying Hydro damage to nearby foes. Given his four-star status, players can readily unlock all of Xingqiu's constellation levels, making him a valuable asset in the Genshin Impact roster.
