A newGenshin Impactleakhas revealed all the characters that will be featured on the first Limited Character Banner of the upcoming version 4.1. According to the leak, the first part of the update will feature the five-star characters Neuvillette and Hu Tao, and a four-star lineup that includes Xingqiu, Fischl, and Diona. The official Fontaine storyline has portrayed the new Hydro catalyst user Neuvillette as one of the most powerful characters in Fontaine which was also proven by one of the cutscenes in which he managed to easily defeat Tartaglia,one of the Fatui Harbingers. Some rumors claim that he might be even stronger than the Hydro Archon Furina who watches over the Fontaine nation.

When it comes to his power on the field,Neuvillette is expected to be a powerful DPS characterwhose kit revolves around his Charged Attack. Similar to Lyney and Ganyu, he will have two levels on his CA which are determined by charging time. His empowered Charged Attack fires a powerful Hydro beam that deals tons of AoE damage but also drains Neuvillette’s HP in the process. Luckily this debuff is capped at 50% HP which should not be an issue considering that most Hydro users focus on stacking health in the build.

The second five-star character on the banner, the Pyro user Hu Tao is also known asone of the best DPS units inGenshin Impact. Her unique playstyle requires players to constantly watch over her HP since her damage potential increases when her HP is low. Fans' opinions seem divided with the four-star lineup.

While some Travelers praise HoYoverse’s decision to include two very powerful four-star units, Fischl and Xingqiu, others claim that they were expecting to see some of the more recently released playable units. Going by the game’s usual update schedule, players can expectGenshin Impactupdate 4.1to drop around September 27.

Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
