〓Update Details〓
I. New Characters
5-Star Character "Valley Orchid" Yelan (Hydro)
◇ Vision: Hydro
◇ Weapon: Bow
◇ Yelan's Elemental Skill "Lingering Lifeline" fires off a Lifeline that pulls her in rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path. When her rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP. Additionally, each opponent marked by the Lifeline when it explodes grants Yelan a chance to obtain Breakthrough. This will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have a decreased charge time, and once charged, she can fire a "Breakthrough Barb" that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Yelan's Max HP.
Her Elemental Burst "Depth-Clarion Dice" deals AoE Hydro DMG once and creates an "Exquisite Throw," which aids her in battle. This follows the character around and will initiate a coordinated attack under the following circumstances, dealing Hydro DMG based on Yelan's Max HP. This can occur once every second when your active character uses a Normal Attack and will occur each time Yelan's Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.
◇ A mysterious person who claims to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but is a "non-entity" on the Ministry of Civil Affairs' list.
4-Star Character "Mender of Tribulations" Kuki Shinobu (Electro)
◇ Vision: Electro
◇ Weapon: Sword
◇ Kuki Shinobu's Elemental Skill "Sanctifying Ring" creates a Grass Ring of Sanctification at the cost of part of her HP, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents. Grass Ring of Sanctification follows the current active character around. It deals Electro DMG to nearby opponents periodically and restores HP for the active character(s) within the ring's AoE based on Kuki Shinobu's Max HP. The HP consumption from using this skill can only bring her to 20% HP.
Her Elemental Burst "Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite" stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a field that cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous Electro DMG to opponents within its AoE based on Shinobu's Max HP. If Shinobu's HP is less than or equal to 50% when this skill is used, the field will last longer.
◇ The capable and reliable deputy leader of the "Arataki Gang" - Please note: capable and reliable are not appellations for the "Arataki Gang," but for their deputy leader in specific.

II. New Equipment
Aqua Simulacra (Bow)
Increases HP. When there are opponents near the character equipping this weapon, the DMG the character deals is increased. This effect will still be detected when the character is off-field.
◇ This longbow's color is unpredictable. Under the light, it takes on a lustrous, watery blue.
Fading Twilight (Bow)
This weapon will come with 1 of 3 buffs. Each of the 3 buffs will increase the DMG dealt by the character by different percentages. When the character hits an opponent, the buff will change to the next effect type. This can be triggered once every 7s, and can be triggered even if the character is off-field.
◇A precious bow made of platinum, inlaid with an orb that shimmers with the light of eventide.

III. New Events
During the event, go to The Chasm and investigate the mysteries of the depths. Complete various challenges in the event to obtain rewards like Primogems, Crown of Insight, Weapon Ascension Materials, Talent Level-Up Materials, Mystic Enhancement Ore, Hero's Wit, and Mora.

4. New Furnishing: Leisure Device: Confused Confuzzlement
A furnishing combination made with great care by Tubby, this set comprises a Seeker's Board and many Confuzzled Tubbers. After interacting with the Seeker's Board, you can begin a treasure hunt or view hunt records. The Confuzzled Tubbers can be freely placed within a set space, where they will continuously remain. You can combine these placements with pre-existing furnishings within the Serenitea Pot to hide the Tubbers, after which you will have to search for these Tubbers within a time limit.
After hearing about Mondstadt's traditional game, Windtrace, from the Traveler, Tubby also resolved to create a game based around hide-and-seek, thus creating this particular furnishing combination. However, such a game that only involved Tubby, the Traveler, and Paimon would have too few people and thus lack a certain fun factor. As such, Tubby created many "Confuzzled Tubber" toys to play the role of other participants. Tubby even suggested that the Traveler could use adeptal energies to create playing fields and invite friends to come and experience the fun together.

Dear Travelers,

The pre-installation function is now available on both PC and mobile platforms.

Due to file restructuring, it is recommended to complete this pre-installation over a Wi-Fi connection owing to the large file size.

Before the pre-installation, you may uninstall voice-over files that you don't need by going to Settings > Language > Manage Voice-Over Files to minimize the pre-installation file size.

Pre-installation on mobile devices will download some of the new resources in advance, which will speed up download progress at login after the update and save time.

When the version update is released, Travelers on iOS devices must enter the App Store and tap "Update." Android users may open the game and follow the directions on-screen (or open Google Play and tap "Update").

Travelers on mobile platforms will be unable to play the game while pre-installing game resources. It's recommended that Travelers complete any Domains or other challenges they wish to finish first before beginning the pre-installation process.

Travelers on PC can still play the game while pre-installing game resources. Pre-installation will take up a certain amount of your network's bandwidth, so it's best to make sure you have a good network connection before beginning pre-installation.

After pre-installation is complete, Travelers can update the game and experience new version content faster.

〓How to Update〓

Mobile (iOS & Android)

Method 1: Travelers may begin pre-installing update resources by going to the Paimon Menu > Settings > Other > Pre-Install Resource Package.

When the version update is released, Travelers on iOS devices must enter the App Store and tap "Update." Android users may open the game and follow the directions on-screen (or open Google Play and tap "Update").

Using the pre-installation function will reduce the time that the game spends updating resources on the first time you enter a new version, even if you did not fully complete pre-installation.

PC:

After the pre-installation function is available, you must first update the Genshin Impact Launcher. After updating the launcher, a "Game Pre-Installation" button will appear to the left of the "Launch" button. Click "Game Pre-Installation" to download the latest game resources.

Using the pre-installation function can speed up the update progress of the launcher during version updates.

Dear Travelers,

Recently, we have received feedback from our social media and customer service channels regarding issues of account security, including account theft. We take all feedback of this nature extremely seriously and promptly investigate each case based on the information provided by Travelers.

Following a careful examination, we can confirm that the HoYoverse Account system has not been subject to any malicious attacks.

As for the feedback on potential security vulnerabilities with the verification of HoYoverse Account information, we promptly contacted Travelers who intially reported this to us and fixed the issue. On further examination, no user account information has been impacted by this issue.

We are currently in the process of personally contacting each Traveler who has reported issues with their account, and we will deal with the issues based on the information provided to us. If any other Travelers find that you are unable to log in to your account using your usual login details, discover that your account information has been changed, or suspect that someone else has previously logged in to your account, please contact us as soon as possible either via the in-game Feedback function or by sending an email to genshin_cs@mihoyo.com.

To meet the requirements of different countries and regions, separate HoYoverse Account systems exist for different regions. For this reason, issues arising in a particular country or region will not affect account security for players in other regions around the globe. We are committed to resolving any and all problems that may arise and to protecting account security for all Travelers.

Additionally, in the process of reviewing at-risk accounts we discovered that the vast majority of them were being shared by more than one person. Accordingly, we would like to re-emphasize the importance of the following:
1. Under no circumstances should you ever share your account with another person.
2. Under no circumstances should you ever provide a third party with your account credentials, including your password and any verification codes received by text message.
3. Do not trust any information you receive from unofficial sources, and do not use any third-party tools, plug-ins, or assistants.

All of these actions significantly increase the risk level of your account.

If you discover any other security-related issues with your HoYoverse Account, the Genshin Impact Forums, the game itself, or any other related products or services we provide, please contact us via our official customer service or social media channels. We are ready and willing to resolve any and all issues that may arise.
