Scheduled for release on 31 January 2024, the Genshin Impact 4.4 update will re-introduce the Lantern Rite Festival. This time, it not only reunites characters from Liyue but also introduces Fontaine into the festivities. Players are also anticipating the arrival of three stunning character outfits. Among them is Xingqiu's "Bamboo Rain," a 4-star skin inspired by Fontainian fashion. In this guide, we'll explore how players can get the Xingqiu skin during the Lantern Rite Festival in Genshin Impact 4.4.
How to Get the Free Xingqiu Skin During the Lantern Rite Festival
To get the Bamboo Rain outfit for Xingqiu, players must take part in the Lantern Rite Festival's "Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze" event. This event comprises three mini-games, where players can earn points by completing stages. Accumulating a specific number of points unlocks the Bamboo Rain outfit for Xingqiu.
Event-Limited Availability: Xingqiu's skin will be available for free only during the Lantern Rite Festival. Players should actively take part in the event to secure this limited-time reward.
Character Outfit Shop After Version 4.4: For those who miss out on obtaining the skin during the event, Bamboo Rain will be purchasable in the Character Outfit Shop for 1680 Genesis Crystals once the Genshin Impact 4.4 update concludes.
Xingqiu's Bamboo Rain Outfit
Appearance and Details: The Bamboo Rain outfit showcases a dark blue coat, white shorts, and a blue bow at the collar. Departing from traditional Chinese attire, this frilly tailcoat embodies Fontaine's clothing style, offering a blend of deep and bright shades of blue adorned with frills, ruffles, and ribbons.
In-Game Impact: While the outfit adds a touch of elegance to Xingqiu's appearance, there are no alterations to his idle animations or any special Elemental Skill/Burst animations.
Lantern Rite Festival Activities and Rewards
Event Highlights: The Lantern Rite Festival includes engaging activities such as "Paper Shadows A-Foraging," "Joyful Beasts and Their Auspices," and "Iridescent Cloud-Striding." Completion of these tasks allows players to get and unlock the Xingqiu skin "Bamboo Rain."
Additional Rewards: Participating in the Lantern Rite Festival not only grants access to Xingqiu's outfit but also rewards players with 10 Intertwined Fates and an invitation to get one of the 10 available four-star Liyue characters during the event.
