The 2.0 update is finally out for Genshin Impact and with it, the new region, Inazuma, has also arrived. Inazuma is themed around the Japanese culture and you can even see many NPCs wearing Japanese traditional clothes.

Furthermore, players witness the new Electro Archon and were on the verge of dying during the fight with her. The concept of eternity that Raiden Shogun follows is quite difficult to understand. Meanwhile, Ayaka finally makes her appearance as a playable character and everyone was happy to see her.

Other than Ayaka, players also tried Yoimiya’s story quest and were able to test her out. Indeed, she is a promising character and even holds the potential to change the meta.

Thus, the same can be expected from Yoimiya as she can deal a tremendous amount of damage all from her charged attack, elemental skill, and elemental burst.

They built her like a true main damage dealer and she will replace many main damage dealers in the game. Although you might question that she was not dealing huge damage in her showcase, it is because she only had a 25% Pyro damage bonus.

As a character whose entire damage is based on Pyro, receiving a 25% Pyro bonus cannot release her full potential. However, she was still able to hit more than 3k damage per shot, which is quite amazing.
