PATCH 3.0 - PHASE II

Here is a quick rundown of the characters being featured in the second phase of the patch 3.0 update, as per leaks:

• Ganyu
• Kokomi
• Dori

It is rather interesting to see two reruns of strong top-tier 5-star characters that have unique abilities and have made significant changes to the meta. Famous for her Freeze team compositions, Ganyu is a 5-star Cryo Bow user and is considered one of the top DPS in-game. Sangonomiya Kokomi is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst user and has become one of the best Healer and Hydro enablers for Genshin Impact teams. Speaking of 4-stars, only Dori, a new 4-star character from Sumeru, has been confirmed to appear on the banners. Dori is an Electro Claymore user with the potential to make huge team-building changes with unique abilities.

Both the 5-star characters have signature weapons and fans can expect them to feature in the weapon banners. Hence, the weapon banner is expected to feature Amos Bow(5-star Bow) and Everlasting Moonglow (5-star Catalyst) in Genshin Impact 3.0.
