Recent leaks have unveiled the banner characters for the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.7, which is set to make its way in about a couple of months. Among the anticipated characters are Clorinde and Sigewinne, both introduced in the Fontaine chapter. Additionally, a new character Sethos has been mentioned in the leak, generating excitement among fans.
Fontaine has introduced formidable characters like Furina and Neuvillette, and the trend seems to continue with upcoming additions. It'll be intriguing to witness how the rumored characters contribute to the game's meta and overall world-building.
In Genshin Impact as well as other HoYoverse game titles, developers often introduce potential playable characters as NPCs within the storyline. Fontaine illustrates this well, with Sigewinne and Clorinde appearing in the Archon Quests. Sethos has also been hinted to debut in Genshin Impact Version 4.6.
Since HoYoverse hasn't officially spoken about these characters, leaked details about their abilities might undergo alterations before Genshin Impact 4.7 releases in June. Also, given Genshin Impact's history of adjusting character release schedules, there's a chance that Clorinde, Sethos, and Sigewinne might debut in later updates instead.
Now, let's get a quick overview of these new characters:
Genshin Impact Sethos character: A 4-star Geo Bow
Sethos is said to be a 4-star Geo Bow character from Sumeru, marking the first Geo character from that region. He could allegedly be linked to Cyno, possibly originating from the Great Red Sand. There's speculation that he might even come out in Cyno's second Story Quest in Genshin Impact 4.6.
While details about Sethos' abilities are still scarce, Genshin Impact fans think that he might complement Cyno's skills. Since Cyno is an Electro character, Sethos, if indeed Geo, could form a strong duo with him in Crystalize team compositions.
Speculations abound about Sethos potentially wielding sand-based Geo abilities, which could introduce unique elemental reactions. For instance, he might trigger a quicksand effect when teaming up with Hydro characters or create glass when interacting with Electro or Pyro units.
Genshin Impact Clorinde character: A 5-star Electro Sword
Clorinde, renowned as Fontaine's most formidable duelist, has earned numerous victories in the trials of Fontaine, even defeating Navia's father. Not only that, she served as the bodyguard to Hydro Archon Furina, indicating her rumored kit might emphasize DPS with supportive elements.
Clorinde is anticipated to be a 5-star Electro Sword character in Genshin Impact 4.6, described as an Overloaded DPS like Arlecchino. Some players expressed disappointment with this revelation, as Overload team compositions in Genshin Impact have been deemed unreliable. Nevertheless, Clorinde's introduction could signal HoYoverse's efforts to enhance the Overload elemental reaction.
Genshin Impact Sigewinne character: A 5-star Hydro Bow
Sigewinne makes her debut in the Archon Quest as the head nurse of the Fortress of Meropide's infirmary. She belongs to the Melusine race and possesses a "special body" that resembles a human's more than the faun-like appearance typical of her race. Despite her role as a nurse, rumors suggest that Sigewinne will be a 5-star sub-DPS Hydro Bow character.
In previous leaks, it was implied that Sigewinne would be introduced in the latter updates of Genshin Impact. While teasers were telling her availability in the Fontaine chapter, the specific version update and release date remained unspecified. Initially speculated to be a 4-star to complement Clorinde, if she's upgraded to a 5-star, her debut may be scheduled for the latter part of Genshin Impact 4.7.
