Genshin Impact's biggest ever update is going to come out very soon. It is going to include a new region called Sumeru and a brand new Dendro element.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase a complete list of new characters, weapons and artifacts that are going to debut in the upcoming update.

1. Genshin Impact 3.0 new characters

Collei

Collei is a 4-star Dendro bow user. She is going to be available for free to all players as part of a permanent event.

Collei

She is a Dendro Support with the ability to apply Dendro continuously even when off-field.

Dori

Dori is a 4-star Electro claymore user. She is going to be the gacha-only 4-star of the 3.0 patch.

Genshin Impact Dori

Overall, she is an electro support with the ability to apply Electro and heal while remaining off-field. This is not something new, as Kuki Shinobu, a recent 4-star Electro Sword user, does the same thing.

However, Dori has the ability to regenerate energy for teammates, which can be useful.

Tighnari

Tighnari is the main 5-star character who's going to debut in 3.0. He is also a Dendro bow user, similar to Collei. There has been a rumor that the character is going to be added to the permanent banner after 3,0, so players might want to wait a bit before pulling for him.

Tighnari Sumeru

Overall, Tighnari is the first Dendro DPS in the game, with a kit based on dealing Dendro damage continuously on top of Dendro reactions. It is yet to be seen if he would be useful or not.

Dendro Traveler

The Dendro Traveler's kit is rather vanilla and uninteresting. However, he can probably be the Dendro support for a number of lineups.
