New features for Genshin Impact Version 5.3 update

New Archon Quest and Weekly Boss: Engaging in Natlan’s Tribal Stories

The stage is now prepared for the decisive fight in Natlan as Act V of the Archon Quest unfolds. In the previous chapter, Natlan’s six champions united, and the divine Ode of Resurrection conferred its blessing upon all Natlanese warriors. Now, the Traveler hovers on the verge of unleashing their Pyro power, poised to enter the battlefield.

However, while optimism shines strongly, it encounters an ominous power – the Abyssal Mimic Dragon, infamously recognized as the “Lord of Decaying Ancient Flames.” This upcoming confrontation will push Natlan’s characters to their limits, challenging their strength and unity in a way they’ve never experienced before.

New Playable Characters and Re-Runs

Mavuika: 5-star Pyro Claymore user

Mavuika, famously recognized as Haborym the Pyro Archon, was previously Natlan’s most formidable protector during the Abyss wars. Now, she stands prepared to unleash her fiery power on the battlefield! With an extremely adaptable fighting style, she can either engage in close combat with her claymore or soar on her mount, the Flamestrider – a blazing steed that lives up to its name’s excitement.

In a simplified form: Her ability, called Elemental Skill, offers two options. The first option summons the Ring of Searing Radiance, either staying with her or accompanying the current character, continuously inflicting Pyro damage on nearby enemies. The second option involves holding the skill, at which point she jumps onto her mount, Flamestrider. On this steed, Mavuika can traverse steep cliffs, swiftly move across both land and water, soar through the air, and even charge into enemies as she goes.

Fighting together with her comrades increases her determination, a distinctive resource she employs for her Elemental Burst. When activated, this Burst strikes enemies with a vast Pyro assault, and Mavuika enters a strengthened state. She becomes harder to disrupt and receives an additional enhancement to her combat capabilities.

As a bonus, she can reduce the party’s Nightsoul Transmission cooldown by 20%, which is super handy for team rotations. Mavuika’s kit seems insanely fun and versatile. The Flamestrider feature alone makes her feel like more than just a fighter, it’s like you’re riding into battle in style. Plus, the mobility she brings could make exploring way more enjoyable. The Fighting Spirit mechanic adds an interesting twist, rewarding players for staying in the fight and supporting their team.

Citlali: 5-star Cryo Catalyst user

Instead of Mavuika’s fiery blasts, “Granny Itztli,” or Citlali from the Masters of Night-Wind, chills the battlefield as a formidable 5-star Cryo Catalyst user. A highly respected Shaman within her clan, Citlali is never without her two small companions, Itzpapa and Citlalin.

During my adventures, I morph into plushy cloud-like forms, making it easy for me, Citlali, to effortlessly glide through the air. In battle, I can erect Cryo barriers and conjure a potent area-of-effect Cryo storm, courtesy of my tiny allies. When I enter my Nightsoul’s Blessing state, “Granny Itztli” weakens the Pyro and Hydro resistance of enemies afflicted by Frozen or Melt effects, maintaining this debilitation even when I’m not actively engaged in combat.

She appears ideal for players who enjoy strategy and managing crowds, as well as characters with plenty of charm. She could be a powerful choice for both support and secondary damage roles, particularly in Freeze or Melt teams. Additionally, her design incorporating Itzpapa and Citlalin gives her character an abundance of personality.

Lan Yan: 4-star Anemo Catalyst user

In Version 5.3’s second half, a fresh character from Liyue named Lan Yan makes her appearance as a 4-star Anemo Catalyst user. One of her inherited skills is the Swallow-Wisp Shield, which can transform its element into Water, Fire, Ice, or Electricity to absorb corresponding Elemental damage.

Following the transformation, she is capable of jumping up to strike enemies, inflicting the same kind of Elemental Damage upon them. Lan Yan appears to be an entertaining and lively character that adds utility, adaptability, and offers a unique combat style. She could quickly become a favorite for players seeking a versatile new member for their team.

Re-runs and Chronicled Wish

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Mavuika and Citlali make their grand entrance in the first half of Version 5.3’s Event Wishes! The second half will see the return of Arlecchino and Clorinde. Additionally, another round of Chronicled Wish is on the horizon, bringing back a host of 5-star characters, nearly all hailing from Liyue.

Lantern Rite Rewards and Limited Events

2025 marks the year when Genshin Impact presents its annual Lantern Rite celebration, featuring fresh characters stealing the limelight. Players can immerse themselves in the festivities and collect various complimentary goodies. Among these rewards are 1,600 Primogems, the new glider called “Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined“, 10 Intertwined Fate through a daily login event, a free 4-star Liyue character upon completing the Lantern Rite event, and a new outfit for Xiangling by earning Festive Fever points throughout the event.

During Lantern Rite, there will be numerous mini-games and activities for you to participate in. Among these, you can engage in the block-clearing game called “Immortal Combat“, as well as a combat challenge with added Stratagem boosts to earn fun and Festive Fever points. As Festive Fever builds up, reaching a specific level will allow you to receive Xiangling‘s new outfit “New Year’s Cheer” for free, along with additional celebratory rewards. In the meantime, Hu Tao‘s new outfit “Cherries Snow-Laden” will be available at a discount in the Shop for a limited time.

New Permanent features and QOL updates

As a dedicated player, I’m thrilled about Version 5.3, which keeps rolling out fresh options for various gaming experiences. The rhythm game mode is now here to stay! Excitingly, Kazuha and Ganyu’s Echo cosmetics will be incorporated into the Envisaged Echoes in the Imaginarium Theater lobby. These stylish additions can be yours once you conquer the new challenges they present.

Additionally, this version is dedicated to enhancing the character advancement system even more. A new button has been added to the interface, directing users to a comprehensive Training Manual. The Training Manual now features clearer explanations and simpler layouts for Artifacts, Weapons, and Character summaries.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled about the upcoming changes! The limit on my Artifact Inventory is about to skyrocket to a whopping 2,100 items, giving me plenty of room and freedom to manage my artifacts effectively. Moreover, those pesky Boss enemies will be back in action, respawning in a jiffy, just 5 seconds after I’ve claimed my rewards, no need to teleport away. This means a more streamlined process for gathering character level-up materials, making the gameplay smoother and more efficient!

Final Thoughts

All in all, Version 5.3 appears to be one of our most thrilling upgrades so far. As Natlan’s tale draws to a close, we introduce an exciting new character named Mavuika. Furthermore, fresh faces like Citlali and Lan Yan join the cast, adding even more intrigue to the mix. So, there’s lots to anticipate!

As a devoted player, I can’t help but express my excitement about this latest update. Revisiting beloved classics such as Arlecchino, Clorinde, along with the Liyue 5-star roster, makes this an exceptional patch for both novices and seasoned gamers alike. The addition of the Lantern Rite event, a plethora of free goodies, captivating new skins, and tantalizing hints about upcoming characters, all point towards a content-rich update that’s perfect for ringing in the New Year with flair!
