Genshin Impact – Version 3.5 Phase I Events Preview

The first phase of Version 3.5: Windblume’s Breath is about to start in anime action-adventure Genshin Impact. To get players up to speed, developer HoYoverse has taken to the official site with the preview of the upcoming events, including the character & the weapon banner running for the next 3 weeks until March 21st.

The pre-installation function is now available on both PC and mobile platforms. The first phase features the latest 5-star character to join the roster of the game: Dehya. She is a Pyro Claymore character who enhances the survival capability of her teammates on the field.

Dehya can use her Elemental Skill to create a “Fiery Sanctum” field whereby characters within this field have their resistance to interruption increased, and when such characters take damage, a portion of that damage will be mitigated and borne by Dehya. When an opponent within a Fiery Sanctum takes damage, the field will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing Pyro damage. When unleashing her Elemental Burst, Dehya will automatically and continuously unleash the Flame-Mane’s Fists for a period of time, dealing multiple bouts of Pyro damage.

Genshin Impact – Version 3.5 Phase I Character Event Wish banners:

  • 5-stars: Dehya (Pyro Claymore) & Cyno (Electro Polearm);
  • 4-stars: Bennett (Pyro Sword), Barbara (Hydro Catalyst), Collei (Dendro Bow).

Genshin Impact – Version 3.5 Phase I Weapon Event Wish banners:

  • 5-stars: Beacon of the Reed Sea (Claymore) & Staff of the Scarlet Sands (Polearm);
  • 4-stars: event-exclusive The Alley Flash (Sword) and Alley Hunter (Bow) as well as Sacrificial Greatsword (Claymore), Dragon’s Bane (Polearm), and Eye of Perception (Catalyst).

Genshin Impact Version 3.5 events include:

  • Windblume’s Breath (March 3 – March 20) – During this festival of unparalleled love, why not come to the city upon the lake for a spell and lean to follow the floral fragnances riding the winds of freedom?
