Genshin Impact 1.7 leaks have revealed two upcoming characters who players will be meeting during their journeys through Inazuma. Players are already familiar with Ayaka Kamisato, as she is one of the most anticipated characters coming to Genshin Impact. Players know less about Yoimiya, a leaked 5-star Pyro bow user, but from what information has been leaked it seems that she will bring strong AOE Pyro damage to a team. The release dates for these characters have not been confirmed. But, it seems that they will be arriving following the Kazuha banner in Genshin Impact 1.6.

Given if there are no major changes, I can guarantee that Ayaka and Yoimiya will definitely be coming after Kazuha.A new 4* character will also possibly be coming together with Ayaka or Yoimiya.#GenshinImpact

According to leaks, as long as there are no major changes or delays, Ayaka and Yoimiya will follow the Kazuha banner, likely in two separate banners. If this is to follow the standard banner time of three weeks, players will be seeing Ayaka on July 21st and Yoimiya three weeks after that on August 11th. These predictions may change, though, as Genshin Impact's work schedule is constantly shifting. Ayaka will likely be the first or second banner of Inazuma, as she is the poster character for the region, but beyond that players will just have to wait to find out.

The Echoing Tales event will be an event in which Genshin Impact players will receive their Summertime Sparkle skin for Barbara after completing missions and collecting excerpts of stories from the Midsummer Island Adventure. Players will need to collect pieces of stories involving the inhabitants of the islands, including the native islanders, the Maguu Kenki, and the Ako Domeki pirates. Players will be traveling through the islands to gather these excerpts. Once they have gathered 24 out of the 32 total excerpts, they will get their free Barbara skin.

This is in contrast to the Jean skin, which players will be able to purchase for Genesis Crystals. Jean's Sea Breeze Dandelion skin will be available at a discounted price during the event and will only cost players 1350 Genesis Crystals.
