Genshin Impact leaks: Cyno and Nilou kits revealed, character roadmaps, and more

Genshin Impact leaks have revealed a ton of new information about characters arriving during the Traveler's journey through Sumeru. There is a whole new cast of characters that players can look forward to meeting and interacting with as they journey through this new region, and each has a unique kit that lets them stand out from the rest of the game's cast.

While some of these kits are still a mystery, new leaks have revealed information about Cyno and Nilou's kits early, giving players the chance to prepare for these powerful new 5-star characters.

Cyno

Cyno's kit leaks have revealed that his gameplay will be quite similar to that of Xiao, albeit without the focus on plunging attacks. Instead, Cyno will utilize a similar method of gaining energy through his Elemental Skill, which appears to be a swift dash with a short cooldown that will deal Electro damage to enemies in its path.

His Elemental Burst is where he really shines, as he gains an Electro infusion, changes the animations of his Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks, and increases the damage and range of both his attacks and skills.

The best part about Cyno is that, unlike Xiao, he will be able to generate energy for himself during his own burst, meaning he will be a much more self-sufficient character, though he does have a relatively long cooldown of eight seconds at Constellation one.

Cyno will wield a polearm in battle and is a 5-star character, meaning fans will want to make sure they save up Primogems if they plan on getting him. He is best suited for Dendro + Electro team compositions and can deal a ton of damage with the right party setup.

Nilou kit

Nilou's kit is very unique and seems to rely a lot on Elemental Reactions and utilizing her as a Sub-DPS character to trigger these reactions. She is a 5-star sword wielder, and fans will be able to use her alongside Dendro characters to deal a ton of damage.

Her Elemental Skill allows her to slash her sword four times. With each slash, a ring of Hydro will appear in an AOE (area of effect). However, the cooldown on this skill is quite long, and this limits her on-field potential.

Nilou's Elemental Burst allows her to deal Hydro damage to enemies caught in its radius and later deal additional damage to enemies close to those that are hit. This will likely trigger Hydro quite a few times, allowing for plenty of applications of Dendro + Hydro reactions.

Character roadmap

As per leaks, players have a ton of characters to look forward to over the next few Genshin Impact updates, and fans can find a roadmap of these character releases here. This roadmap is always subject to change, and characters may be shifted around before they are released officially. Here's an estimated list so far:

• Tighnari - 3.0 Update
• Collei - 3.0 Update
• Dori - 3.0 Update
• Nilou - 3.1 Update
• Cyno - 3.1 Update
• Dehya - 3.1 Update (Possible)
• Kusanali - 3.2 Update
• Al Haitham - Unknown, possible 3.2 Update

With so many characters on the way, fans will definitely want to make sure they have tons of Primogems saved up and try to take part in any events they can before these character banners arrive.

Dendro reactions

Dendro reactions will make up a big part of how players interact with Genshin Impact's combat once the region of Sumeru is released, and fans will definitely want to make sure they're ready to add it to their teams once it is available. Dendro looks to become a viable alternative to many of the game's current team compositions, with its set of powerful reactions to take advantage of.

Players will have to master both the Bloom and Catalyze reactions if they want to effectively use Dendro in battle. Dendro + Hydro creates the Bloom reaction, which can be augmented using elements like Electro and Pyro to cause huge AOE damage. Dendro + Electro creates the Catalyze reaction, which is key to amplifying Dendro and Electro damage on enemies.

Once Genshin Impact 3.0 gets released, fans will be able to take part in new tutorials that will explain the new reactions.
