A number of leaks about Sumeru characters have just been revealed by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Discord. They involve the unreleased characters Cyno, Collei and Scaramouche, alongside other Genshin Impact details. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything available so far about the upcoming Sumeru update.
1. Cyno, Collei and Scaramouche expected release
Apparently, the three Sumeru characters that have been hinted at heavily so far - Cyno, Collei and Scaramouche, are going to come out during the 3.0 patch and later.
- Cyno: Released in either Version 3.0 or 3.1
- Collei: Released in Version 3.0
- Scaramouche: Released in either Version 3.1 or 3.2
Another leak also colludes with this, stating that Scaramouche's banner will not arrive until the 2022 Genshin Impact Anniversary, near the end of the Sumeru Arc.
2. Sumeru is going to have 15 new characters
Based on the leaks, looks like Sumeru is going to be pretty packed. Apparently, there will be 9 brand new characters, in addition to the previous three and another three Dendro users.
- Djajeet
- Nafs
- Dori
- Ikhfa
- Layla
- Soutine
- Nilou
- Tighnari
- Nahida
- Baizhu
- Cyno
- Collei
- Kusanali (Dendro Archon)
- Capitano
- Scaramouche
It is very likely that some characters would just make an appearance and will not be part of the banners. If Sumeru is 7 patches long, we will need 6 patches with 2 new characters and 1 patch with 3 new characters, which is not going to happen.
The Dendro Archon, the most powerful character of the patch, would allegedly come out on 3.1. As revealed by the alt account of confirmed leaker Uncle DD, Dendro Archon Lesser Lord Kusanali will use the female child character model. This means she would have a body type similar to Klee and Qiqi.
Amongst the leaks, there are also some vague mentions of a bow character with elf ears, Sumeru banners having at least 2 men, etc... As everything is posted in the "unverified leaks" channel, players should take this with a pinch of salt.
3. Which character will be part of 3.0?
Based on the leak, 3.0 will have 3 new characters, 2 5-Stars and 1 4-Star.
Apparently, Collei is going to be the 4 star, being the easiest Dendro character for players to obtain. There are no leaks available about the 5 stars yet, but lots of fans are expecting Cyno, as he is the one accompanying Collei.
Cyno is a student from Sumeru Academia located in the land of Wisdom. Lisa also did her studies here, proving that this place is full of gifted students and teachers. Cyno first appeared in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview that miHoYo showed before Genshin Impact's official release.
Collei is a character from Genshin Impact's official manga. She is on her vengeance quest against Barnabas, a Sumeru scientist associated with Dottore and the Fatui. She is being escorted by Cyno.
