Although HoYoverse has not officially confirmed the new roster for Version 5.3, recent beta leaks indicate the update will introduce three new characters. In addition to these arrivals, Genshin Impact 5.3 is expected to feature a range of events, including the much-anticipated annual Lantern Rite Festival.

Amid the growing anticipation for the long-awaited Pyro Archon, Mavuika, many players may have overlooked some significant leaks about an upcoming event in Genshin Impact Version 5.3. According to a trusted leaker, HomgDGCat, this event will offer players the chance to receive double the usual number of artifacts when using Original Resin. In addition to artifacts, the event will apply the same drop rate increase to other valuable ascension materials, such as Character Talent Materials and Weapon Ascension Materials. However, the event’s bonus will not be applicable when using Condensed Resin, meaning players can only take advantage of the double rewards a limited number of times each day.

Fans have lauded HoYoverse in the comments for introducing this event alongside an already content-rich update. In Genshin Impact, the primary method of acquiring artifacts is by farming artifact domains. Each character can equip up to five artifacts, each providing bonuses based on their set effects. Equipping two or four artifacts from the same set grants additional stats or unique effects, enhancing a character's overall performance.

A lot of players share the sentiment that acquiring the perfect artifact in Genshin Impact feels nearly impossible due to the RNG element involved in sub-stats. While the Flower and Feather artifact types only drop with one fixed main stat, the remaining three slots can roll with a variety of effects. To make matters more challenging, the presence of up to four potential sub-stats significantly reduces the odds of obtaining an artifact that perfectly suits a specific character.

With each new five-star character in Genshin Impact, a corresponding artifact set is often introduced to align with their playstyle. In Update 5.3, players can anticipate the release of two new artifact sets, specifically designed for the upcoming five-star characters, Mavuika and Citlali. Mavuika will likely debut in the first phase of the update, while Citlali’s banner is expected to go live in the second phase.
