#1. Who Is The Cloud Retainer?

Cloud Retainer is a Prime Adeptus in Liyue, a member of the Adepti Affil­i­a­tion. This special force is responsible for protecting the Nation of Contract from monsters. Cloud Retainer often appears in the form of a bird residing in a secret domain built in the Clouds above Qingyun Peak.

This bird Adeptus is also one of the oldest allies of the Geo Archon. She also appeared in the stories of Shenhe and Ganyu as the teacher of these characters. Both of them are Cryo DPS. Therefore, she can also hold the Cryo vision and master Cryo skills.

#2. When Is She Released?

Furina, also known as the God of Justice in Genshin Impact, will be a new Hydro character that players are very anticipated to have. Up to now, she has made appearances in the Fontaine storyline. Not just a pretty unit, she's also the Hydro Archon - the main protector of the Hydro land.

A recent update on the leaks subreddit has teased several new details about Furina kit. Check out her rumored skills below.

1. Furina kit leaks

Elemental Skill

Furina's Elemental Skill may appear quite interesting as she will summon a small creature. This is quite similar to the skill of characters like Yaoyao and Xiangling.

The element that distinguishes this skill is its flexibility. According to the leaks, the summoned animal's actions change according to the active character's attack type. This adaptability indicates the Hydro Archon's capacity to adjust to various combat scenarios and offer edges to both offense and defense.

Elemental Burst

Meanwhile, her Elemental Burst seems to take on a supportive role. It can offer damage buffs to the party and add Hydro effects. However, it doesn't seem to directly benefit Furina's burst damage.

Furina's Stacking system

Furina kit leaks suggest a unique stacking system connected to her HP, aligning with her Hydro attribute.

There's speculation that regaining HP will amplify her healing abilities while losing HP will enhance her elemental damage. This mechanic promises to introduce a distinctive element to her gameplay, where careful HP management will likely be essential for optimizing her potential.

However, unlike other similar skills usually associated with specific elemental damage types, Furina's will depend on whether characters are using their Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks.

The leaks also mention that the Hydro Archon may have the ability to drain HP from her entire team, but she'll also lose health while on the field. This interaction will affect her damage multipliers.

Many fans are eager to see how this mechanic functions, as it's unusual for Genshin Impact characters to have effects that negatively affect the HP of their team members. However, it's important to note that these leaks are not 100% reliable, as her official release is likely still months away.

2. Furina Genshin Impact release date

Regarding Furina's precise release date, HoYoverse has confirmed that she won't be included in the upcoming Genshin Impact update 4.1, which will introduce two new catalyst users, Neuvillette and Wriothesley. These characters have had their official introduction via the newest trailer.

Based on previous speculations, players can anticipate Furina's addition to the playable roster in version 4.2. Following the game's regular update schedule, this should be around early November.

>>> Also read: Gacha Or Skip Genshin Impact 4.1 Banners For Furina? BEST Banners To Pull

Genshin Impact 4.1 will introduce two new 5-star Fontaine characters and return two popular old characters. Though all four upcoming banners are attractive, lots of players are still confused about whether they should skip or gacha in the next update. Check it out here.

I. Should You Skip Update 4.1 Banners?

Deciding whether to skip or gacha in update 4.1 is really confusing because the Hydro Archon will come out in update 4.2. As one of The Sevens in Teyvat, Furina is expected to have an insane power like Nahida, Zhongli, and Raiden Shogun. That's why it's reasonable to skip the next update and wait for Furina's banner in Update 4.2.

However, Furina's release date has not been confirmed yet. Therefore, there is a chance that she will not come out in Update 4.2. So, you may spend a part of your Primogem savings on the next update 4.1.

II. Which Banners Are Best To Gacha?

All four characters in the next update are very attractive. Let's check out the best character to pull in Genshin Impact 4.1. You can also make your own decisions after reading these suggestions.

#1. Neuvillette

Neuvillette has a cool and handsome appearance. Moreover, he has a mysterious profile and backstory that may make Genshin Impact players want to gacha his banner. Additionally, his kit is not complicated and difficult to use.

His Special Charge attack is the most powerful hit of this Hydro DPS unit. He shoots a water ray forward with this Special Charged attack which consumes three Sourcewater Droplets. These droplets are created when he unleashes his elemental skill and bursts.

But his Interruption Resistance at C0 is his weak point. You may have to use a shielder or teammate with an ideal Interruption Resistance. So, character selection for his team comp is limited. Moreover, his team also has to trigger many elemental reactions to optimize his passive talent of the Special Charge Attack.

#2. Wriothesley

There were many interesting rumors around Wriothesley before his official confirmation in the Genshin Impact 4.1 Livestream Program. According to some leaks before the Livestream program,  many leakers said he would come to the standard banners. However, this new Cryo DPS will be limited to event banners only.

He has an excellent design of a new-generation Cryo DPS character. Wriothesley has a useful kit with effective attacks. Moreover, this Cryo DPS has Interruption Resistance right at C0. Therefore, he does not require a shielder. You will have more options for his teammates.

Wriothesley is also the first Cryo Catalyst wielder in this game. You can build him as the main DPS for a Cryo DMG team using Shenhe as a Cryo DMG buffer. But Wriothesley is an HP-scaling DPS unit like Hu Tao. Therefore, you need to have a healer in your team. Kokomi is an ideal option who can trigger the Freeze reaction in his Cryo team.

#3. Hu Tao and Venti

Both Hu Tao and Venti are old characters who have been rerun many times in Genshin Impact. Therefore, their banners are less attractive than the two new characters from Fontaine.

• Hu Tao is still one of the best DPS units for single targets in this game. But her kit is also one of the most complicated and difficult character kits. Therefore, it disappoints lots of players. If you want to save Primogems for Furina or the two characters above, you should skip her banner in update 4.1. Moreover, you shouldn't pull Hu Tao if you haven't got her before because she is not very helpful at C1, and you may need tons of Primogems for her Hu Tao C3 and C4.
• Venti is the Anemo Archon whose power is overwhelming in the early stage of the game. But this character is surpassed by many new characters who are more suitable to the meta of the game, such as Kazuha or Wanderer.

But Hu Tao and Venti are still worth pulling for wealthy players. They have bold characteristics and interesting backstories. Therefore, lots of fans of these two characters are still waiting for them to return in the next update.

III. Conclusion

Saving Primogems for the banner of the Hydro Archon is still highly recommended. But her banner hasn't been confirmed yet. Therefore, Neuvillette and Wriothesley are the best options. Their attacks are infused with Arkhe Energy which is essential to counter Fontaine opponents.

If you are not a fan of these characters, you can skip their banners and wait for the Hydro Archon, Furina who is likely to come out in update 4.2.

Genshin Impact 4.3 leaks have revealed new details about a fresh character named Chevreuse. As of the time of this writing, miHoYo has yet to formally introduce her to the game's roster.

In the past, she was referred to as Sertice in leaks. But you should note that this name is now considered outdated. Regrettably, there are currently no gameplay videos available for her at the moment. Freminet also alludes to her existence through a voice line, but that's the only current extent of official information on this character. Let's check every leak regarding Chevreuse Genshin Impact below.

Do notice that any details discussed are susceptible to alteration.

Chevreuse Genshin Impact 4.3 leaks

According to dataminer Siko, Chevreuse will be a playable character in Genshin Impact 4.3. If Siko seem not enough of a well-known figure in the leaking community, it's noteworthy that reputable leaker StepLeaks reposted this rumor about the upcoming release version. Therefore, this particular rumor could be considered somewhat credible.

Besides, Chevreuse is slated to be a 4-star Pyro user in Genshin Impact 4.3.

As of now, there's no official confirmation regarding the specific banner phase in which this character will be featured in 4.3. Consequently, her release date could fall into one of two potential windows, based on the game's recent update schedule:

• Phase 1: Approximately around December 20, 2023
• Phase 2: Estimated to be around January 9, 2024

It's important to note that these dates are approximations, as miHoYo has not officially confirmed the banner release dates. These estimates are based on the assumption that patches typically last for about 42 days.

Apart from the information above, unfortunately, there are no available details about her potential abilities or playstyle at this time. As the 4.3 beta has not commenced yet, players will need to exercise patience until it launches, allowing for more leaks and information to surface about her.

Chevreuse weapon leaks

Leaker StepLeaks has revealed that Chevreuse uses Polearms as her weapon. This piece of information is intriguing, especially when considering that earlier concept art leaks had suggested she favored Swords.

In the past, unofficial concept art for Chevreuse, back when she was referred to as Sertice, had implied that she was a Sword user.

It's worth noting that visual leaks like this don't always provide finalized details. The artwork suggesting her proficiency with swords is now considered outdated, so it's important for players to be aware that Chevreuse is currently confirmed as a Polearm wielder.

What Genshin Impact characters have said about

Freminet is the sole character known to make a reference to the Chevreuse Genshin Impact in one of his voice lines.

"I hear that Chevreuse is a regular customer of Beaumont Workshop. She always purchases the most expensive and advanced components for her musket. If I make enough Mora, maybe one day I can afford to upgrade Pers's components."

Riqueti also mentioned her as in the picture above. Meanwhile, other leaks pointed out that Navia may be the 5-star that features alongside Chevreuse in update 4.3.

Genshin Impact 4.1 will probably introduce two new characters, but the Hydro Archon seems to remain non-playable until that update. Is she coming out in Genshin Impact 4.2? Let's check out some leaks about upcoming banners in that future update here.

I. Is Furina Coming Out in Update 4.2?

According to recent reliable leaks, the Hydro Archon Furina will be released in Genshin Impact 4.2. A few months ago, she was expected to come out in the next update 4.1. But Wriothesley and Neuvilette are almost sure to come out in Update 4.1.

Furina will surely hold the Hydro Vision. Another name of the Hydro Archon is Focalors. She may be released with this name. She is the fifth playable Archon in Genshin Impact. Her kit is expected to be overwhelming and useful.

II. Who Is Returning?

There will be three rerun characters in Genshin Impact 4.2, including Kamisato Ayato, Baizhu, and Cyno. Let's check out some details about these upcoming rerun characters here.

• Baizhu - Dendro Healer

Baizhu is one of the best healers in Genshin Impact now. He is a must-roll character if you haven't got any healer for your team. His healing effect is very helpful and easy to use. He can also summon a Dendro shield to keep the active character safe from the enemy's attacks.

This is the latest character from Liyue. Unlock his character story quest if you love to come back to explore the Geo nation. Baizhu will rerun this December. Save your Primogems for his upcoming rerun banner if you need a healer and shielder.

• Cyno - Electro DPS

Cyno is one of the earliest Sumeru characters. He was also one of the most underrated Electro characters as his kit is pretty complicated and difficult to use. But you can invest in his upcoming rerun banner in November if you haven't got any Electro DPS units.

His element is very trending in the current meta of the game. It can react with two meta elements -Hydro and Dendro - and trigger lots of powerful reactions. He is likely to be rerun in the second phase of update 4.2.

• Kamisato Ayato - Hydro DPS

Ayato is one of the best Hydro on-field DPS units in Genshin Impact now. He is also a highly recommended character to roll in update 4.2. This is a safe choice when you don't know if Furina's kit is useful for your current team or not.

As the role and kit of Furina are still unknown, the chance for these two characters to team up and support each other remains questioning. But their Hydro resonance also buffs the output damage for your team. His elemental burst and skill are great AoE Cryo attacks for countering opponent mobs.

III. Which Characters Are The Best To Pull?

Furina and Baizhu are worth pulling for the current game meta. Ayato and Cyno are also nice options for many players, especially for beginners. Let's check out some suggestions and advice for beginners who may be confused about these banners.

• Furina and Ayato are both powerful Hydro DPS units. As the Hydro Archon, Furina will probably have an overwhelming kit with insanely great power. Moreover, she is aligned with Arkhe Energy which is essential for new bosses in Fontaine. Therefore, Furina is a better choice for exploration in the Land of Hydro and Fontaine bosses.

• However, Furina's kit is unfamiliar and novel to Travelers. Therefore, lots of players may have difficulties in using this new character. Ayato can be a safer choice for players who need a Hydro DPS.
• Baizhu is a new game-meta character who provides both a shield and a healing effect. If you are not seeking a Hydro DPS for your team, Baizhu is an ideal character to pick from these four characters. You will have two most important supporting effects in one slot in your team.
• Cyno is less recommended, especially when you have got Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu. That's why his pick-up rate for Spiral Abyss and other activities is not really high. But some beginners may hope to get him for Electro-based teams.

Save Intertwined Fates for their banners now. Don't miss exciting events and interesting quests that are great sources of Primogems. Genshin Impact 4.1 will introduce many events and an anniversary for players to farm currencies for pulling these characters.

However, whether that rumored kit matches the real Neuvillette package or not remains controversial, whilst the game producer constantly warns players against illegal sources.

The potential husbandos of Genshin Impact will be released during Version 4.1, with Neuvillette as a Hydro character and Wriothesley as a Cryo unit.

Leaks also suggest that both Neuvillette and Wriothesley will debut as DPS characters using Catalysts as their weapons of choice. Genshin Impact players can expect these characters to be valuable additions to their Spiral Abyss teams once Version 4.1 launches next month.

The first phase reintroduces the Staff of Homa and releases the signature weapon for Neuvilette - Tome of Eternal Flow. In the following phase, Venti's distinctive bow, Elegy for the End, along with a weapon tailored for Wriothesley, could likely take the spotlight.

Genshin Impact 4.1 new bosses and enemies

Grapevines also indicated that there will be a pair of fresh bosses.

Leaked images have emerged showcasing these upcoming opponents. These bosses are expected to offer materials necessary for ascending characters such as Neuvilette, Wriothesley, and more available units.

One of these formidable bosses reportedly wields dominion over gravity, employing gravity-altering mechanics to unleash area-of-effect (AoE) assaults that can stagger players.

The second boss in Genshin Impact 4.1 is the Millenial Pearl Seahorse which can be found in the subterranean expanse of the Fontaine domain. This electro-elemental boss shares its electric prowess with the Blubber Seahorse.

Besides these bosses, the Seneschal of Frost and Seneschal of Wind will also join the game. As their titles imply, these enemies are aligned with the Cryo and Anemo elements respectively. They promise to add new dimensions of challenge to the game's battles.

Fontaine map expansion

Genshin Impact's Fontaine map is expected to undergo an expansion towards the eastern direction, encompassing the currently incomplete sections of the map.

As the cultural center of the Hydro nation, most shops and businesses are placed in the Court of Fontaine. All three introduced food vendors in this country also reside and open their shops/restaurants in this city.

I. Sanguinetti - Restaurant Owner

Sanguinetti is a food vendor in the Court of Fontaine. He sells food recipes, cooking ingredients, and ready-made dishes. His restaurant is opened inside the Hotel Debord. It's not open on the main streets like other restaurants in previous countries in Teyvat.

The tip to save Mora in Genshin Impact is by purchasing food recipes to cook these dishes from ingredients you pick in the open world. Here are all six food recipes you can buy from him here.

You can also buy some ready-made dishes, such as Ile flottante, Garlic Baguette, Cream of Mushroom Soup, and Fontainian Foie Gras. If you don't have enough ingredients, you can buy these dishes to consume. But it's much more expensive than cooking these dishes with the ingredients you pick during your exploration trips and expeditions.

II. Louis - Snack Shop Manager

The Snack Shop Manager - Louis is also a food vendor in the Court of Fontaine. He sells four common cuisine recipes with different effects. They are famous traditional dishes of this Hydro nation.

He also offers customers ready-made Fonta, Delicious Fish and Chips, and Pate de Fruit. But you need to pay more Mora than buying their cooking recipes to cook them by yourself.

III. Arouet - Café Lucerne Manager

You can buy two cooking recipes from Arouet in Café Lucerne, including Ile flottante and Conch Madeleine. This food shop is pretty close to the Snack Shop of Louis. Just spend a few minutes dropping by this spot to explore the culinary culture of Fontaine.

#1. About Fontaine

Fontaine is one of seven nations in Teyvat ruled by the Hydro Archon Focalors. It's the fifth one to be released among them. Fontaine is also known as the nation of Justice. It's located in the center of Teyvat. People in this nation are also proud that their country is the cultural center of this continent, possessing the elegance and beauty of this world.

It's also the leading nation in technology and engineering. Advanced Mikage Furnace is an invention of Fontaine engineers. The Kamera you use to take photos also originated from this nation.

miHoYo also unveiled some details about the threat to the development of Fontaine when the Arkhe energy source is running out. It's the main energy for Clockwork Meka Robots invented by Fontaine engineers. It omits two elements, known as Ousia and Pneuma. When these two elements contact, they will react and create an Annihilation reaction.

Moreover, scientists in Fontaine are seeking an alternative source of energy for their machines and robots. Besides, Ousia and Pneuma omission also contaminated the environment and affected the health of people here.

#2. Culture And Art

The outstanding culture in Fontaine became the topic for many writers all over Teyvat, such as Mona and Xingqiu. Moreover, Rock 'n Roll, the favorite music of Xingyan, also originated from this nation.

But Fontaine also has slums inside underground sewer areas where the poor and homeless reside. They don't have the chance to enjoy the development of advanced technology in higher-class society above the ground. Not only advanced technologies and inventions of Fontaine spread to other nations in Teyvat, but its culture and art also became popular in this world.

#3. Fontaine Citizens

Moreover, you will encounter many artificial intelligence creatures on the streets of Fontaine cities. Unlike Aranara in Sumeru, these creatures do not hide themselves in jungles. They also reside in big cities. You also meet Melusine, an adorable creature in Fontaine.

Melusine is a unique creature with a special vision that lets them detect hidden things that human eyes cannot see. Moreover, they are very responsible. That's why they can join the special detective force called Marechaussee Phantom under the management of Neuvillette.

Sigewinne, an upcoming playable character in the drip marketing video of Fontaine is also a Melusine. She is a nurse cooperating with Wriothesley. Hydro Archon Focalors, also Furina, is also loved but not trusted by people in Fontaine, at least, they don't trust her justice.
