Dori is one of the new playable Sumuru characters to be added in the Genshin Impact __ 3.0 update. Unlike the other two units featured, she will not be using the Dendro element. Instead, Dori is another Electro character, but not much else is known at the moment. Based on a character leak and the past release schedule, an estimate can be given on when players may see Dori in Version


All but one of Sumeru's leaked playable characters are light-skinned, including the Dendro nation's Archon, Kusanali, whose fairy-like appearance bears an uncanny resemblance to the Traveler's companion in Genshin Impact , Paimon . Dehya, an allegedly upcoming 4-star Pyro character, appears to be the only darker-skinned character arriving with Sumeru. Many Genshin Impact players expressed their disappointment at HoYoverse's decision to make Sumeru's characters light-skin


This isn't the first time Genshin Impact has been embroiled in a whitewashing controversy. Out of Genshin Impact 's fifty playable characters, only two have darker skin. Kaeya, one of these two characters, has appeared whitewashed in-game and in promotional materials for Genshin Impact . A description of Kaeya in Genshin Impact referring to his " somewhat exotic appearance " was patched out of the game after drawing criticism. The lack of BIPOC representation in the popular game has often been excused by the current explorable regions being based on European and Southeast Asian countries. Unintentionally, this excuse highlights how Genshin Impact fails to represent the multitude of various groups in China and Japan, on which Liyue and Inazuma are ba


Players who don't have Fischl can also obtain her for free during Version 2.8. Once players activate the Summertime Odyssey quest, they'll have to complete all five of the quests within the event, from "Surfpiercer" to the final "Phantom Realm" quest. Completing these quests will grant the player with Primogems, Hero's Wits, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Wuthering Waves Events|Https://Wutheringwavescentral.Com/ and Iridescent Flotsams. Iridescent Flotsams can be used to purchase Fischl from the Event S


While HoYoverse hasn't officially given out any more additional information on the three new heroes, Genshin Impact leakers claim that Tighnari will also be Sumeru's first five-star character, while Dori and Collei will be available as 4-star heroes. Datamining from the game's 2.8 beta test also seems to hint at Dori being an Electro claymore user. Based on everything revealed so far about the anticipated 3.0 update, Genshin Impact 's Sumeru region could end up being the game's largest territory ever relea


"Resonating Visions" is available only to players above Adventure Rank 32 who have completed the Archon Quest "Chapter II: Prologue - Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves," as well as Mona's Story Quest. This will unlock the Golden Apple Archipelago. It's important to note that if players want to get Diluc's new skin in Genshin Impact , they don't need to complete these quests and can purchase it immediately from the st


A new skin for Fischl has been released in _Genshin Impact _ , and players can get it for free in Version 2.8. New outfits are the only way to customize characters in Genshin Impact, and while there aren't many in the game as of yet, Version 2.8 has come with two costumes–one for Diluc and one for the beloved Electro princess Fis


If the recent leaks are correct, Sumeru will overtake Liyue as the largest explorable region in Teyvat. This could change again in the future, with the arrival of Teyvat’s remaining regions, Snezhnaya, Natlan, and Fontaine, the nations of Cryo, Pyro, and Hydro respectively. Genshin Impact's map continues to grow, adding numerous new nations and minor regions in updates following its release. **Genshin Impact ** 's 3.0 update will undoubtedly be huge, bringing with it a wealth of content including Sumeru, the first-ever Dendro playable characters, and possibly the return of version 1.6's Golden Apple Archipelago as a permanent explorable a

Much more than other content in the game, new characters often keep Genshin Impact feeling fresh. Each character has a different playstyle and usually features some unique animations. Some even open up fun traversal methods, such as the ability to walk on water with Kokomi in Genshin Impact . Certain characters miss the mark, but there is generally something enjoyable to be found in each one. The new Sumuru region looks promising, and Version 3.0 marks the first time fans will be able to incorporate the Dendro element into their gamep


Recent leaks from **Genshin Impact ** 's 3.0 update have revealed that most of Sumeru's playable characters will be light-skinned, despite the Dendro region and its characters drawing inspiration from South Asia and the Middle East. Though all of the Sumeru NPCs already present in Genshin Impact are light-skinned, some Genshin Impact players pointed out that there are several POC NPCs arriving with Sumeru. However, the inclusion of these NPCs can't make up for Genshin Impact 's apparent whitewashing of Sumeru's playable characters, whose attire and names feel like cultural appropriation when paired with their light skin to
