Genshin Impact has given all the details about events that will be available in the second phase of version 4.3. Genshin Impact is expanding the current banner with a new character, Chevreuse, who fills the healer support role for her party. She can restore HP to any active unit and deal AoE Pyro damage to enemies. Like previous characters, she will be featured in an event warp for a short time.
Genshin Impact brings tons of content in every version, introducing new characters and weapons that can only be obtained from the event banner. Players are given the opportunity to get rewards by completing limited-time festivities, some of which feature combat challenges. It's worth noting that many events in Genshin Impact have at least two phases and occur in different locations. In addition to self-contained events, the game sports several PvE activities, including the Spiral Abyss, which requires players to tackle challenging encounters to farm enhancement materials.
Genshin Impact Survey Shows Most Popular Characters in the Community
A dedicated Genshin Impact fan conducts a comprehensive survey that reveals the game's most popular playable characters at the moment.
Genshin Impact has introduced four new in-game events, which will be available throughout the second half of version 4.3, with one being the "Dance of Resolute Will" featuring combat challenges. From January 17 to 29, players can participate in the "Arataki Blazing Armor Beetle Battle Boot Camp" event and take on enemies to get Primogems, Hero's Wit, and ascension materials. One thing to note is that they must be above Adventure Rank 20 to unlock these festivities.
The Marvelous Merchandise event, which requires players to exchange loot boxes they receive from Liben and unlock the "Mega Box o' Marvels", will recur in version 4.3 between January 22 and 29. Moreover, there is a Genius Invokation event where Travelers will join duels in the Battle Heated mode to earn Lucky Coin rewards. This self-contained activity will be available from January 6 to 22.
Lucky Coin is the main currency in Genshin Impact's Genius Invokation TCG mode, allowing players to buy new cards and dynamic skins from the shop. Travelers can obtain them by completing Adventure Challenges against NPCs and duels in Cat's Tail.
Genshin Impact players will take their teams to new heights by recruiting new characters and reruns, such as Chevreuse and Raiden Shogun, that will be available in the second phase of version 4.3. As confirmed by HoYoverse, the next event banner will also bring a trio of rerun banners: Yoimiya, Kujou Sara, and Bennet, each having their own signature weapon. It's interesting that the four-star Electro user Kujou Sara will receive an event warp in update 4.3, considering she hasn't been mentioned in any reliable leak before. Players who want to get her banner can do so between January 9 and 30.

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!
