New characters in Genshin Impact 3.5
In the first phase of Genshin Impact update 3.5 we will have two new playable characters: Dehya and Mika. The legendary hermit Dehya is a five-star Piro character who wields a sword as a weapon. Through her Elemental Skill, the character can create a field that causes Pyro damage to enemies, in addition to transferring part of the damage received to her allies and herself. Dehya’s Supreme causes the spear to be sideways and the character starts to use her fists to “punch” her opponents and finish with a nice kick.
Slated for the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.5 is Mika, an active surveyor for the Knights of Favonius. This is a four-star Crio character who uses a spear. By using his Elemental Skill, he can target opponents with his crossbow and increase his allies’ attack speed and damage. With the activation of the Supreme, we have the effect of constant restoration of life.
