Wish banners for the Genshin Impact 3.5 Update

The Genshin Impact 3.5 update will feature 4 5-star character banners: Dehya, a brand new heroine, but also 3 reruns: Cyno, Ayaka and Shehne.

The first phase of Genshin Impact patch 3.5

From March 1 until March 22, you can try to unlock Dehya and Cyno. By making wishes on these temporary banners, you will have an increased chance of getting Bennett, Barbara and Collei.

Dehya is a new 5-star Pyro character who fights with a two-handed sword. She has the particularity of being able to take damage from other characters in your team and to use a Pyro enchantment with her elemental rampage. However, her damage is expected to be quite low... Moreover, she is not an exclusive character as you can get her via Standard Wish as of the 3.6 update or when you lose a 50/50.

You can find his signature weapon Beacon of the Reed Sea in the weapon banner.

Cyno will also be part of the game. He is an Electro hero fighting with a hast weapon. He was first released in update 3.1 of Genshin Impact. His gameplay is mainly based on his elemental rampage, where he is able to do a lot of Electro damage.

Event wish banners for the 3.5 update Part 2

From March 22 to April 11, Shenhe and Ayaka will be back. They are two excellent Cryo characters. Ayaka is simply one of the best DPS in Genshin Impact, while Shehne is his best support. As a reminder, the latter boosts Cryo damage.

They will both be accompanied by Mika, a new 4-star Cryo character. He promises to be an excellent support as he will be able to heal, but also boost the damage of physical DPS like Eula.

New quests stories and escapades

During patch 3.5, you will be able to learn more about Dehya by completing her story quest, but also about Faruzan who is given an escapade.

New quests stories and escapades

The Genshin Impact 3.5 Update: Windblume's Breath does not offer any new areas to explore, but it does promise to expand the story of Teyvat with a brand new Archon quest. Chapter III - Act 6 entitled "Caribert" marks the return of Dainself, one of the most mysterious characters in the game. This quest will focus on the history of Khaenri'ah.

During this quest, you will have the opportunity to meet new enemies.

The events of version 3.5

As usual, a new update of Genshin Impact inevitably rhymes with its share of new events.

Windblume's Breath Event

This is the main event of the Genshin Impact 3.5 update, so it will cover almost the whole duration of the update. It takes place in Mondstadt and features several mini-games such as a balloon chase, a rhythm game and an event that requires you to take pictures.

In addition to many Primogems and other rewards, you will be able to get your hands on a brand new two-handed sword.

Fungus Mechanicus

During the Fungus Mechanicus event, you'll be able to meet up with some well-known Fongus... With them, you'll have to face the totems of the mechanical theater. To do so, you'll have to move your Fungus on a board and coordinate their attacks.

Vibro-Crystal Verification

The Vibro-Crystal Verification event will take you to the Chasm where you will have to put together two teams of characters to fight enemies and test the effects of crystals.

Spices from the West : Northerly Search

The more leisurely Spices From the West: Northerly Search Event offers you the chance to cook dishes. You can then give them to characters in your Serenitea Pot to increase your friendship.
