Genshin Impact 3.2: Beta leaks reveal Nahida's release date and unique passive ability

Genshin Impact 3.2 public beta has confirmed that Nahida, Sumeru's Dendro Archon, will be playable in the upcoming patch 3.2 update. Players must have already seen Nahida's character model during the Archon Quest and are eagerly waiting for her debut on the character event banners.

Reliable sources have revealed that Nahida is rumored to debut in the first half of the patch 3.2 banners. The new patch and the Phase I banners are scheduled to arrive on November 2, 2022.

The most recent public beta leaks have also brought more information about Nahida's third passive ability, On All Things Meditated. Early leaks have already revealed her passive ability allows her to collect harvestable items using the hold version of Elemental Skill within a fixed AoE range.

It now appears that her passive ability has other effects as well. Nahida will be able to use the hold version of her Elemental Skill on Sumeru NPCs to read their minds. Currently in the public beta, a placeholder is being used instead of actual thoughts, which will likely be added to the final version of the Genshin Impact 3.2 update.

Elemental Skill - All Schemes to Know

The Elemental Skill can be cast with either a tap version or a hold version. Both versions perform differently, but mark opponents with a Seed of Skandha regardless.

Opponents marked with Seeds of Skandha will be linked to each other. When any one of them takes damage from an Elemental Reaction, the other marked enemies will also take Dendro damage, based on Nahida's ATK and Elemental Mastery.

• Pyro: Skill damage is increased
