Best features coming to Genshin Impact in the 2.5 update

Raiden Shogun- Upcoming new weekly boss

Back in the 2.0 update, miHoYo let players challenge Raiden Shogun to a battle in her own domain. Since then, most users were wondering if developers will ever release as a weekly boss. Interestingly, after waiting for 4 long updates, miHoYo has finally announced that the 2.5 update will feature a new weekly boss that is Raiden Shogun.

However, Traveler and Ei (Electro Archon) ended on good terms in the last archon quest; therefore, miHoYo will reveal if Ei or one of her puppets will arrive as a weekly boss in the next update. Either way, the upcoming weekly boss looks very strong and you must gear up to fight her.

Yae Miko finally arrives in Genshin Impact

Yae Miko is the head shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Moreover, ever since she first debuted in one of the Inazuma’s archon quests, several users were patiently waiting for her release. Interestingly, Yae Miko will be available in the upcoming 2.5 update and will be featured as a five-star character in phase 1.

In phase 2, we will see re-run banners of both Raiden Shogun and Sangonomiya Kokomi. Indeed, it’s very surprising that miHoYo is releasing Kokomi so early, especially when her banner sales were very low. However, after the release of a new mechanic, Corrosion, users are noticing the importance of healers. Thus, if you need a significant healer to complete Spiral Abyss floor 12, pull for Kokomi in the next update.
