Leaked Hydro Character in Genshin Impact 5.0: A New Support or Sub-DPS?

Get ready to dive into Teyvat’s waters! Leaks surrounding Genshin Impact’s upcoming Version 5.0 suggest a new Hydro character wielding a catalyst is making a splash.

Genshin Impact 5.0 Leaks: New Hydro Character Details Emerge

The source of these leaks comes from none other than reputable leaker, Foul. According to their intel, the new character wields a Hydro catalyst, making them the fifth character to boast this specific weapon-element combo. While rarity remains unconfirmed, their gameplay kit seems particularly intriguing.

Foul’s leak suggests the character’s core functionality revolves around their Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks. Here’s a breakdown of what we know so far:

  • Elemental Skill: This ability enhances the character’s Normal Attacks, stacking up to three times. Each stack provides a damage multiplier that scales with HP, a common trait for Hydro characters.
  • Stack Release: Upon reaching three stacks, the character unleashes five projectiles that deal damage equivalent to the enhanced Normal Attacks.
  • Enhanced Normal Attacks: These attacks boast increased area-of-effect (AoE) damage and potentially offer a healing effect. Additionally, they receive a damage multiplier of 20% per stack. Unleashing the projectiles consumes all accumulated stacks.
  • Normal Attack Synergy: Regular Normal Attacks drop small Hydro particles. Collecting these particles extends the duration of the character’s Elemental Skill, promoting a strategic loop.

The emphasis on Normal Attacks suggests this Hydro character might excel in the DPS or sub-DPS role. However, some fans remain skeptical, expressing concerns about matching the raw power of Mona, the current Hydro catalyst DPS champion.

It’s important to remember that leaks should always be approached with caution. HoYoverse has already confirmed the arrival of a new five-star Dendro character named Emilie in Version 4.8. While Version 5.0 may introduce another Dendro unit, concrete details remain under wraps.

Stay tuned for further updates as we delve deeper into the exciting world of Genshin Impact 5.0!
