Featured 4-Star Characters
The Neuvillette banner brings with it a roster of 4-star characters to entice players. Here's a look at the 4-star characters who will share the spotlight alongside Neuvillette during Phase I of Genshin Impact 4.1:
1. Diona (4-star Cryo - Bow): Diona is a versatile Cryo support and healer, making her an excellent addition to teams that rely on Cryo reactions. Her abilities are bound to offer valuable utility during your adventures.
2. Fischl (4-star Electro - Bow): Fischl is a standout sub-DPS character known for her electrifying abilities. Despite her 4-star rarity, she remains a top choice for many players, contributing significantly to team damage output.
3. Xingqiu (4-star Hydro - Sword): Xingqiu is another exceptional sub-DPS character. His Hydro abilities and swordplay make him a versatile choice for various team compositions.
These 4-star characters, each with their unique abilities and playstyles, will be available on Neuvillette's banner for 21 days, concluding on 17 October.
Beyond his banner debut, Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine, will also receive his own Story Quest titled "Diluvies Chapter." This Story Quest will be a permanent addition to the game after the release of version 4.1. Players can unlock it using Story Keys obtained by completing Daily Commissions. However, adventurers must be at least Adventure Rank 40 and have completed the Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act IV "Cataclysm's Quickening," which is part of the Fontaine Archon Quest and will be released in version 4.1.
