The addition of a new major region will introduceSumeru-themed items and characters. A popularGenshin Impactleaker named Dimbreath has revealed the names of the seven new weapons which are expected to arrive in the following update. According to Dimbreath,Genshin ImpactVersion 3.0 will introduce only one new five-star weapon named Hunter’s Path, and it will have the following stats:
This will be the only five-star item, and it will probably serve as a signature weapon for the new five-star character Tighnari, who is confirmed to appear on one of the update’s banners. Tighnari is astrong DPSGenshin Impactcharacterwho has a special mechanic on his Charged Attack, similar to Ganyu which is probably the main reason why the weapon’s passive effect revolves around this type of attack. The remaining Sumeru-themed weapons are:
The first four weapons will have a similar passive effect which creates a special kind of leaf once aDendro elemental reactionis triggered. This leaf will grant additional Elemental Mastery or Attack, depending on the weapon. In the case of the bow, the weapon holder will receive an Elemental Mastery buff after activating their elemental skill or burst.
The leaker has mentioned one additional weapon which does not fit the Sumeru theme, and it’s called Trawler. It’s a four-star bow with Energy Recharge as its secondary stat meaning that it will most likely be a good choice forsupport characters like Fischl. The weapon has a passive effect that deals 80-160% AoE damage after the weapon holder uses an elemental skill.
