Top things to consider for upcoming characters in Genshin Impact

Interestingly, miHoYo has released a new mechanic for the 2.3 update. After the update is launched, players will see two re-run banners of Eula and Albedo at the same time. With the help of the new mechanics, the pity will be shared equally on both the re-run banners.

It means if you change your mind to pull for Albedo after 50 pulls, you can still pull for Eula, continuing your previous 50 pulls pity. Furthermore, we can also expect miHoYo to release two re-run banners in each update in the future.

Return of Albedo

Albedo was first released in the 1.3 update back when Dragonspine was introduced. He belongs to the Geo element and acts as an immense support for your team. Furthermore, miHoYo will release a new artifact set which will be a great help to release his full potential.

Although he fulfills the role of a support character, you have to maximize his level to get extensive damage. Not to mention, the game is entirely changed as it was back in the 1.3 update. Therefore, it would be best to only invest in him if you need to build Geo resonance or want a great support unit.

Eula- Best physical damage dealer in Genshin Impact

When it comes to having a main damage dealer, Eula is always above most pre-released main damage dealers. Although most of her damage is physical, the attack scaling of Eula is insane. Players won’t face any problem to hit more than 100k damage in her bust, which makes her an immense damage dealer.

Regardless of her damage, Eula also has some disadvantages in her kit. The most annoying part of Eula is her energy cost, which is 80. This makes it harder to always have her elemental burst up. Thus, you need another Cryo character in your party so that they can provide Eula with some energy particles.

Arataki Itto

Just like Eula, Arataki Itto is also a main damage dealer and equips claymore as a weapon. However, he belongs to the Geo element, and many players think that because of his element, it will impact his damage. Arataki Itto is the first five-star main damage dealer from Geo element and through his teaser, we can expect him to deal substantial damage.

Furthermore, similar to Eula, he will deal most of the damage from his elemental burst. In his elemental burst, Itto will equip the club as his weapon to deal tremendous damage to opponents. Moreover, his normal attack speed will be increased so that players can deal more damage in a short period of time.

Gorou- Best Geo support in Genshin Impact

Gorou is a new four-star character and belongs to the Geo element. He will be featured in Itto’s banner and his kit looks like it is built to enhance Geo characters damage. After using Gorou’s elemental skill, players will deal AoE damage and set up a General’s War-Banner.

Players will receive bonus for their characters depending on how many Geo characters are there in the party. In addition to that, if you have only one Geo character you get a DEF bonus, if you have two you get a reduction in interruption while attacking, and if you have three characters, then you get a Geo damage bonus.

Hence, it means Gorou might not be a great unit for other characters than the Geo element. Which character are you planning to pull for? Let us know in the comments down below.
