Recently, Genshin Impact received its biggest update, 1.1. However, the Internet is already "walking" update 1.2 leaks. Judging by them, it is already possible to imagine, and quite specifically, what to expect in new addition 1.2 entitled "Dragon Spike”, which will be released on New Year's Eve - December 23.
The Wotpack editors looked through all the insides and cut off the excess. Here you will only see reliable information about what will be in update 1.2.
New characters in Genshin Impact in patch 1.2
The first thing I would like to mention is characters. As with any major update, without the introduction of new heroes can't do without.
Впервые Get in touch about them appeared on Reddit from dataminersand it turned out to be quite reliable. We decided to list eight characters, each of which belongs to certain elements and uses specific weapon type.
| character `s name | elemental element | Weapon |
| Hu Tao | Pyro | Polearm |
| Mimi | Hydro | Catalyst |
| Yoon Jin | Geo | Polearm |
| Yao Yao | Dendro | Catalyst |
| Sayu | Anemo | Claymore |
| Tohama | Pyro | Polearm |
| Shen Li | Cryo | Claymore |
| Rosaria | Cryo | Polearm |
These eight characters will bring a lot of new things to Genshin Impact. For example, Yao Yao will become the first official hero to use the element of nature - Dendro. In this case, Mimi, Sayu и Tohama will be the first who, according to lore, arrived from Inazuma - countries where the main element is electro.
Perhaps Inazuma will become a full-fledged region that can be visited not only as part of the plot, but also just like that.
And despite the fact that the post in which it was quite a few details, refuting the idea of the appearance of characters from the table in update 1.2, recently removed from Reddit, you can see the number of comments and their content.
Also on the Internet there is information about the introduction of two completely different characters in update 1.2 after the end of the promotion with Tartaglia and Zhongli. They will become Albedo (Cryo) and Ganyu (Geo).
For those who do not know them, we will tell you more. Albedo - one of the smartest alchemists, who took as an assistant sucrose. By nature, he is calm, everyone loves him. He gets positive all, including Kayawho is not easy to impress. And even Klithat no one can calm down. Ganyu same is secretary and simultaneously emissary the most influential group in Li Yue - Qi Xing. Strictly follows orders Lord of the Stone — Zhongli.
New Activities in Genshin Impact
In contrast to the more or less reliable information about the characters, less is known about the activities. The only detailed source of information - post on the photo aggregator site Imgur.
Judging by it, the players will go on a treasure hunt (in the image they are marked with English letters from A to E). In the process, you can get to special stash with a good reward.
If the photo is to be believed, the new activity will be linked to starfall lakelocated in the northeast of Mondstadt. This clearly indicates a smart approach on the part of the developers of Genshin Impact, who want to attract more players. in the long run.
The message also mentions sili, little ghost balls, which you must lead to the pedestals before they stay there. For their efforts, they reward the player with a chest in which they will good quality stuff, which is better than a couple of dozen adventure experience points and a small amount of pestilence.
New quests in Genshin Impact
Currently, the most obscure part of the 1.2 update is the new story quests.
According to all the leaks, despite the desire of the developers keep the intrigue until the very end, players will encounter a storyline that will unfold in Inazuma, the land of Electro Archon, Shogun Baal. This decision looks quite logical. after graduation storyline в Mondstadt and Li Yue.
Other changes
In addition to the story, characters and activities, a lot of things can change in update 1.2. First of all, any modifications required primordial resin. At the moment, the situation is such that gamers have many restrictions, which especially interfere with those who can only play at night, after work and all household chores.
Some balance changes are already being made. For example, the difficulty of the fight with Childe was loweredwhich makes it easier to get through. This clearly shows the rather reverent attitude of the miHoYo developers to your community.
Update 1.2 release date
Patch 1.2 "Dragonthorn" for Genshin Impact 1.2 should be released 23 декабря 2020 года — exactly six weeks later after the introduction of update 1.1.
It is reasonable to assume that if miHoYo continues to adhere to six week schedule release of major updates, this means that version 1.4 will most likely be launched in March, then in May, and so on.
