Genshin Impact 4.1 brings a breath of fresh air to the game
The version 4.1 of Genshin Impact is just around the corner, bringing some new features to the nearly three-year-old anime RPG by HoYoverse. With the 4.1 update, Genshin Impact introduces a new character to the roster, setting new standards.
In the recently released livestream for Genshin Impact 4.1, it was revealed that one of the new five-star characters, Wriothesley, will be a Cryo Catalyst user, making him the first of his kind. Coincidentally, he will also be the first male Cryo character with five stars in the anime game.
Wriothesley: A Unique Cryo Catalyst User
Visually, Wriothesley's gameplay is similar to Heizou - a catalyst user who seems to use physical combat for normal attacks instead of the typical magic and floating spells we often see with other catalyst users. His catalyst attacks form gloves around his hands for combos that resemble boxing punches infused with the Cryo element. So if you're looking for a cool change in combat, he might be a good choice.
Who fills the final spot?
After the introduction of Wriothesley, we are only missing a Hydro Claymore user combination. Since we have just started our journey into the Hydro realm, this vacant spot could likely be filled by version 5.0.
New Five-Star Characters to Pull
In version 4.1 of Genshin Impact, Wriothesley will be appearing alongside the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, Neuvillette, giving us two new five-star characters to pull. Neuvillette and Hu Tao will be available in the first half, while Wriothesley and Venti will appear in the second half.
Both banners look great this time, especially if you're interested in the main story of Fontaine. From a gameplay perspective, Hu Tao has been top-tier since her release, and Venti continues to be a solid Anemo user.
