The Windblume Festival returns to Genshin Impact in Version 3.5

Genshin Impact will be bringing the festivities to its fans with the upcoming release of its Version 3.5 update on March 1st. Named Windblume’s Breath, players will be able to engage in the fun of the Windblume Festival, explore the Abyss Order and recruit some new dependable teammates.

The approach of springtime brings with it the promise of fun to the City on Mondstadt, as the Windblume Festival prepares to return. You will be able to take part in a variety of mini-games including a rhythm game, maze chase game, and a photo-touring mode. You will also be able to see some familiar faces being lured in by the festivities. For those who love the game's lore, be sure to check out Dehya’s Story Quest and Faruzan’s Hangout Event to delve into their respective paths and see what made them how they are today. You will also be able to team up with Dainsleif and Kaeya and learn more about their lost sibling and the Abyss Order.

If you are looking to add a bit more firepower to your team, then you’re in luck, as this update brings us two new characters to try out. Starting with the legendary Eremite Dehyna, she wades into battle with her crusty claymore wielding the power of Pyro. Her elemental skill grants her a bit of utility in groups, causing an AOE of damage that also transfers part of the damage dealt to teammates to herself.

Our second hero is the Knights of Favonius cartographer Mika, the Cryo-infused polearm user. His elemental skill grants his team increased attack speed and physical damage, with his burst having a regen effect on his team. If you want to keep this support character out of the battle, then you will also be able to deal some ranged damage with his crossbow.

Dehya will be available to recruit in the Event Wish during the first half of this update alongside a rerun of Cyno before they enter the Standard Wish after the end of Version 3.0. Mika will lag behind a bit before debuting in the later half of the update, bringing with them Kamisayo Ayaka and Shenhe.

Genshin Impact is available to download now on the App Store and Google Play.
