Looks like the Hydro fam is getting a new sibling in Genshin Impact 5.0! Leaks suggest a catalyst-wielding Hydro character is on the horizon, but will they be a wave-maker or just a ripple in the pond?
Genshin Impact 5.0 Leaks: New Hydro Character Details Emerge
According to leaker Foul, known for their somewhat mixed reliability, the upcoming Hydro character will be a catalyst user, joining the ranks of characters like Mona and Kokomi. Their kit seems to revolve heavily around their Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks. . Here’s a breakdown:
- Elemental Skill: Powering up Normal Attacks, this skill can stack up to three times. Each stack increases damage dealt, scaling with the character’s HP (a classic Hydro trait). With a full stack, unleash a volley of five projectiles that mirror the enhanced Normal Attack’s damage.
- Enhanced Normal Attacks: Expect wider area-of-effect damage and a potential healing effect with these boosted attacks. The damage also scales with each stack, offering a 20% bonus per stack. Using the projectile attack consumes all stacks.
- Normal Attack Synergy: Regular attacks drop precious Hydro particles. Collecting these particles extends the duration of the Elemental Skill, creating a feedback loop for extended combat prowess.
This emphasis on Normal Attacks suggests the character might fill the DPS or sub-DPS role. However, some fans are skeptical. Neuvillette, the current Hydro catalyst king, casts a long shadow. Many consider him the strongest Hydro DPS in the game, and this newcomer might struggle to match his power.
Genshin Impact 5.0 might not be a Hydro-exclusive show. Whispers of a Dendro DPS joining the fray have also surfaced. It’s important to remember that leaks are just that – leaks. miHoYo has already announced a new five-star Dendro character named Emilie for Version 4.8, so these leaks should be approached with caution.
Only time will tell what watery wonders Genshin Impact Version 5.0 holds. Keep an eye out for official announcements from miHoYo to confirm these Hydro rumors and any Dendro developments!
