Childe, Zhongli, Xinyan and Diona join the Genshin Impact array of heroes

Genshin Impact already has a vast range of characters with unique abilities, and the first addition to this collection is Zhongli. Despite using the geo-element, Zhongli might be better than a typical defensive hero because of his powerful moves. He also uses the polearm, which implies that Xiangling will not be the only character to wield it anymore.

The next substantial addition to the list is Childe, who is a hydro-based combatant. Childe shoots the enemies with a bow and can control the wrath of water. The new character can also use melee attacks with the help of dual knives and a polearm made of water.  Fans must note that both characters are five-stars and are available through “gacha”. As a result, they may have to loosen their purse-strings to own them.

The pyro-based character to arrive in the game is Xinyan. With the help of her claymore, Xinyan can cut through the enemies. Xinyan is a unique character, as she can summon a protection shield by playing a guitar.

Last, but not least, there is Diona. She is a cyro-based character and she will most probably have a Molotov ability to trouble the opponents.
