A new Genshin Impact trailer has officially revealed the element of one of the upcoming characters named Aino. Genshin Impact has already announced the arrival of a new major region, which is widely considered the most exciting annual event, as it introduces tons of new content, from new explorable terrain to powerful roster additions.

The most recently confirmed character is Ineffa, a new five-star character who will join the roster in the upcoming Version 5.8, the last update before the next major region arrives. While there is a lot of hype surrounding Ineffa, one of her recent promotional videos has revealed an important detail about another upcoming character: Aino.

As usual, before each character’s official arrival, Genshin Impact releases a couple of promotional videos that reveal additional details about the character. HoYoverse’s most recent trailer, titled "Ineffa: Essentials for Home and Travel," also featured another character named Aino, who seems to be close to Ineffa. Fans noticed that in a few frames, Genshin Impact revealed that Aino is carrying a Hydro Vision, indicating that she will wield Hydro elemental powers. Based on her design and the way HoYoverse has presented her so far, players suspect that, unlike Ineffa, Aino will have a lower, four-star rarity. She is also rumored to be a new support character in Genshin Impact who could have great synergy with Ineffa.

Genshin Impact: Aino Element Officially Confirmed

One of the main reasons the two might have strong on-field synergy is that Ineffa’s go-to elemental reaction is Electro-Charged, which can be triggered by combining her Electro abilities with Aino’s Hydro element. At the moment, there is not much official information about Aino, other than the fact that she works for the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop, located in Genshin Impact's Nod-Krai region. It’s expected that the Traveler will eventually be able to explore this location once Nod-Krai is officially released.

This also adds credibility to previous rumors suggesting that Ineffa will be one of the characters who introduces players to the Nod-Krai region. Overall, fans seem very excited about the upcoming updates, as HoYoverse has already teased the arrival of some of the game’s most legendary characters, such as Varka and Alice. Varka is the long-awaited Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, currently on an expedition north of Genshin Impact's Anemo nation, which explains his absence from the game so far.

Both he and the legendary Genshin Impact mage Alice were finally revealed in the recent Moonlit Ballad of the Night trailer, which usually indicates that they will play a role in the upcoming storyline. The trailer also featured several notable antagonist characters, including the Harbingers Columbina and Sandrone.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
