New Characters of Genshin Impact Version 1.1

Childe

This Hydro element archer will be able to change his combat form to one of the various contact weapons with his elemental ability.

The key element to ascend Childe will be the Star Conch. This precious object can be found on the beaches along the Liyue coastal area. You will also need to accumulate Insignias of the Fatui soldiers to complete the ascension of this new character.

Zhongli

The friendly gentleman who accompanied the travelers during their journey in Liyue will also be a playable character. Zhongli is a master of the Geo element whose spear that can summon crystal meteors.

Zhongli's Ascension requires players to have a good supply of Cor Lapis minerals in their possession. This mineral is commonly found in the quarries of Liyue, mainly in the mines of the Mingyun People and Hulao Mountain. The slimes will be the second element needed for ascension.

Xinyan

This rock'n'roll singer from Liyue will be able to use her Pyro element guitar to create waves of fire and generate a shield with her elemental ability. She will also have a passive ability, which has a chance to prepare a second plate of food that increases defense.

The Violetgrass will be the main element to ascend Xinyan. These are found in the Liyue Crags, but grow abundantly in the Dunyu Ruins and Mingyun Town. Another important item to watch out for on ascension is the Golden Raven Insignia, which is dropped by treasure thieves when defeated.

Diona

Diona, the adorable user of magic catalysts, is one of the new characters in Genshin Impact version 1.1. This little catgirl who holds a grudge against Diluc is a user of magic catalysts of the Cryo element. Her elemental ability will be able to hurt enemies and heal allies with an ice bomb.

Diona needs Calla Lily for her ascension. These can be found on the shores of lakes and ponds throughout Mondstadt. A number of Weathered Arrowhead are also required to complete her ascension.

New Features in Genshin Impact 1.1

Reputation System

With each activity completed in each of the regions, the traveler will gain a reputation level that will give them gifts when they reach a certain number of levels. Not only will you get more supplies, but you'll also get recipes, decorative profile cards, and even cosmetic skins for the glider.

Inventory Improvements

Players will be able to lock items to prevent them from being used as level upgrade material by accident. Filters will also be used to help with the identification of upgradeable material.

Customizable Keys

This is a feature that users have been asking for a long time. The new update will allow you to reconfigure the buttons and keys of the controls to the taste of the player to improve their experience.

Genshin Impact Version 1.1 Quality of Life Improvements

Among the improvements found in the Genshin Impact 1.1 version are new items that will make exploring and completing those lists in the Adventurer's Handbook much easier, which will also be enhanced with a compendium of monsters and creatures found throughout Teyvat.

These are the items that will be introduced as improvements in the Genshin Impact 1.1 update:

• A detector to mark unopened chests, as well as Anemoculi and Geoculus that are missing from the map
• A bottle to capture anemo spirits and release them anywhere to soar more quickly with the glider
• A portable pot for cooking dishes on the go
• A portable teleporter that can be placed anywhere on the map. Only one can be used at a time and it lasts for seven days.
• You can have direct access to food dishes for easy consumption.

One of the big problems that Genshin Impact has is its very limited use of Resin, an object needed to obtain objects that are only found in the Domains. miHoYo has provided a temporary solution that consists of an object that allows you to reserve unused Resin to be able to spend it separately. The developer has not specified how this object will work or if it will have any limits.

Genshin Impact update 1.1 will arrive on November 13 for PC, PlayStation 4, and mobile devices. The developers have confirmed an improved version of the game for the PlayStation 5. For more gaming news, updates, and articles, check out our website at GuruGamer.com.
