Return to Mondstadt
Genshin Impact offers us a good shot of nostalgia by relocating the adventure to the first region of the game, while we were more concerned about the fate of Nod-Krai lately.
This is not for nothing, since this update is largely focused on the character of Varka, a true heroic figure of Mondstadt, who will be entitled to her own very elaborate story quest, even giving access to a special weapon skin for a two-handed sword.
Version 6.4 banners
As we said, this update is focused on Varka, who will be the only new character in version 6.4. This 5-star Anémo character will have the great particularity of wielding two claymores in combat, but also two elements.
If he is on an Anemo side, he can also inflict damage linked to the other predominant element in your team (except Dendro and Geo), knowing that it is rather recommended to use the Pyro. Other than that, the Knight of Boreas is pretty straightforward and acts as a primary DPS that should do some serious damage, if he has the right supports on his side.
Varka will be present in the first summon banner, alongside Flins. For the second part of the update, both will be replaced at Escoffier and Skirk.
Version 6.4 events
The events of the update will therefore mainly be linked to Mondstadt, with first “Echoes of Memory” mode which will make us relive certain iconic scenes from the beginning of the adventure, but with some differences that we will have to unearth in a game of 7 mistakes.
You will also have access to quite a few other mini-games, such as the one centered around the creation of drinks to get to know certain characters better, or another which is a fairly classic combat event, except that you can summon the shadow of a knight to do great damage in the opposing ranks. Note also the presence of a gliding mini-game, with several courses to complete. If you participate in all of this, you will be able to get your hands on a skin for a catalyst.
Another event, this time, not necessarily linked to the first region of the game, a strategic defense mode where you will have to place turrets in the right place in order to stem the enemy waves. We will also note the presence of a new boss to collect special materials.
