Article Key Points

Genshin Impact Version 4.2 will introduce new characters Lady Furina and Charlotte, along with a rerun of Baizhu and a second phase featuring Cyno and Ayato.

In Version 4.4, the game's world will be further expanded with the addition of the upcoming zone in Fontaine. Leaks have revealed that Chenyu Vale will be connected to Liyue.

The event wish banners for Version 4.2 will follow a specific sequence. In the first phase, Furina and Baizhu will take the spotlight, while Cyno and Ayato will be featured in the second phase.

Genshin Impact Version 4.2 has unveiled the banners, featuring the debut of Hydro Archon, lady Furina, and the energetic Steambird reporter, Charlotte. Alongside the new characters from Fontaine, the banners will also include a rerun of Baizhu with Furina, as well as a rerun of Cyno and Ayato in the second phase of the patch. Version 4.2 will conclude the Archon Quest storyline in Fontaine and introduce Furina's first Story Quest.

During the Special Program Announcement for Genshin Impact Version 4.2, new codes for Primogems and other currency were shared, while also teasing an upcoming zone that will expand Fontaine to the east. This new area, called Chenyu Vale, is not yet connected to Liyue, but leaks suggest that it will be introduced in Version 4.4 with the addition of Cloud Retainer, a 5-Star Anemo character. Cloud Retainer will come with new premium skins for Ganyu and Shenhe, her adoptive daughters.

Genshin Impact Version 4.2 Event Wishes

Genshin Impact has announced the order of event wish banners for Version 4.2, and although many fans are eagerly awaiting a rerun of Albedo, it seems that Furina and Baizhu will be featured in the first phase, followed by Cyno and Ayato in the second phase. Alongside Baizhu's weapon, Furina's signature weapon, the Splendor of Tranquil Waters, will also make its debut. However, it's worth noting that Jadefall's Splendor, considered one of the weakest signature weapons in the lineup, may result in fewer pulls on the Weapon Banner compared to the usual excitement surrounding an Archon patch.

In terms of 4-Star characters, Genshin Impact players can anticipate the addition of Collei and Beidou alongside Charlotte in the initial phase. Beidou, specifically, has shown to be a remarkable choice for Neuvillette teams in Genshin Impact, as she can consistently apply Electro-Charged if her Energy Recharge requirements are fulfilled. On the other hand, Collei consistently proves to be a reliable option for various Dendro-focused teams.

Moving on, Charlotte is a Cryo Catalyst character, making her the second of her kind after Wriothesley was introduced in Genshin Impact's Version 4.1. Unlike Wriothesley, Charlotte serves as a healer whose effectiveness scales with ATK, making her a potential valuable choice for Furina, whose unique abilities rely on having a healer to maximize damage output. Considering the continued popularity of Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail as the top two Gacha games in the market, HoYoverse can expect a significant number of players pulling for the new Archon, at the very least.

Genshin Impact is a video game that was released on September 28, 2020. It is available on various platforms, including Mobile, iOS, Android, PC, PS4, and PS5. The game was developed by HoYoverse, formerly known as miHoYo, and published by HoYoverse. You can find the game on Google Play.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 4.2 update. The new characters, Lady Furina and Charlotte, look amazing, and I can't wait to learn more about their stories and abilities. I'm also really looking forward to the rerun of Baizhu and Cyno. I've been wanting to add them to my team for a while, so I'm glad I'll finally have the chance.

The new area in Fontaine, Chenyu Vale, also looks like a lot of fun to explore. I love the Chinese-inspired aesthetic, and I can't wait to see what secrets it holds. Overall, I'm very impressed with what HoYoverse has planned for Genshin Impact Version 4.2. I think it's going to be a great update, and I can't wait to experience it for myself.
