Genshin Impact just announced the four-star characters for the second part of version 4.1. The game updates regularly, and each update has two cycles with different special characters and weapons.

The latest update brought a new character to Genshin Impact, Neuvillette. She came with Hu Tao in her third appearance. Neuvillette is a key character in the Fontaine region and is said to be really powerful, possibly even stronger than the Hydro Archon.

In Genshin Impact, there are two kinds of characters you can play: five-star and four-star. Five-star characters are super strong, but they’re tough to get because you need to make 90 wishes to guarantee getting one.

Four-star characters are easier to get, but there are three different ones you could get when you make 10 wishes. The next 4.1 update will have a banner featuring Wriothesley, Venti, Thoma, Chongyun, and Dori, as confirmed by the game’s official Twitter account.

Wriothesley is the only new character in the second banner phase, and he’s a five-star rarity. People are really excited about him because he’s the first catalyst user with a Cryo Vision.

This lets Wriothesley deal Cryo elemental damage with his Normal Attacks all the time. Players will likely need to try out different team setups to find the best party for this new Genshin Impact DPS character.

Earlier game information showed that Wriothesley does great in teams that focus on Melt and Frozen reactions in Genshin Impact. Many players think Venti, the Anemo Archon, is one of the top Anemo supports in the game, along with Kaedehara Kazuha.

Venti is awesome in Genshin Impact because he fits well in almost any team, thanks to his Anemo abilities that don’t mess up the main party reactions. Also, he’s super friendly for free-to-play players since you don’t have to spend too many resources to make him strong.
