These two new Genshin Impact foes are known as Riftstalkers, and they come in two different elements. They are powerful foes that will likely be encountered on the new Tsurumi Island, and they can deal both destructive Electro attacks and devastating Geo ones.

There are two size variants to these creatures as well, as they come in the large Hound size as well as a smaller Whelp size.

The Whelps are much smaller, but they are faster than their larger counterparts. These enemies will deal a new type of damage to players that will go through Shields, which many players rely on for damage mitigation.

This new damage type is the same as the Corrosion that is introduced in the new Spiral Abyss. Fans will definitely need a powerful healer or tons of food if they plan on going up against these Riftstalker enemies.

According to leaks, these enemies are a race of creatures that were hunted down previously for their demonic appearance. They will drop weapon ascension materials, so Genshin Impact players may need to hunt them down again if they want to level up their weapons.

These new enemies will likely show up in the Abyss to make the battles even more difficult, and fans will definitely want to prepare for these tough Hounds and Whelps by bringing a powerful healer in their parties.

Genshin Impact 2.2 leaks continue to reveal new information about the upcoming patch, and fans will definitely want to prepare for the new additions.
