New characters - Furina and Charlotte

Genshin Impact will release two new characters in version 4.2, namely Furina and Charlotte. Needless to say, the Hydro Archon is a 5-star unit, and she uses a Sword as her weapon. Meanwhile, Charlotte is a 4-star Cryo unit and a Catalyst user. The officials showcased their gameplay and kits in the live stream, and both look solid.

Furina is a sub-DPS and support unit. She also has both Pneuma and Ousia alignments, which allows her to use different sets of skills depending on her active Arkhe status. Interestingly, Charlotte's kit also allows her a good sub-DPS and a healer. Her Elemental Skill is similar to Nahida's, making her a great off-field Cryo unit.

As was announced in the last edition of the Developer's Discussion, the officials will add a couple of new features to improve the players' experience. Firstly, the prerequisites to challenge Trounce Domains will be removed, and they will be accessible to everyone who is Adventure Rank 40 or above.

The other QoL update is that developers will increase the maximum limit of Pins in the in-game map to mark more spots. Additionally, an option to delete the Pins in batch will be added to save time.
