Who doesn't love a free character? According to recent leaks, Genshin Impact will reward players with a free copy of Sethos in version 5.7. This update won't bring a map expansion, but it will include a new quest with Dainsleif , a main event in Sumeru , and new endgame content to challenge travelers.
Previously, it was speculated that version 5.7 would be "dry," offering only 57 Intertwined Fates for free-to-play accounts. However, the events and the Archon Quest promise to balance things out. Thus, we'll see the debut of two new characters: Dahlia and Skirk . Skirk, in fact, arrives as a powerful Cryo hypercarry, sparking much curiosity among the community.
What to expect from Genshin Impact version 5.7?
Eventually, players may get a glimpse of characters from Nod-Krai , similar to Charlotte's teaser of Fontaine in the Version 3.7 event. According to speculation, there's a chance that Nod-Krai, located north of Sumeru, will be part of the main event's plot. However, we don't yet know exactly which civilization the new NPCs will emerge from.
However, the big highlight is Sethos . According to KazusaLeaks , he will be the free 4-star character for the main event, available in the first half of the update . While it's unclear whether he'll appear in event banners, the Spiral Abyss buffs suggest at least a Mavuika . Surprisingly, despite being a 4-star character, Sethos has a highly praised visual and gameplay design, being considered one of the strongest in recent years .
How to use Sethos on your team?
Genshin Impact gameplay , especially in teams that exploit the Escalation . In other words, many players see him as a more accessible version of Clorinde. Furthermore, he doesn't require rare weapons: his best bow might be the simple Sling . However, he requires a lot of elemental energy to maintain his rotation, which can be easily solved by pairing him with Raiden or using Fischl as a battery.
However, Sethos doesn't match the styles of Skirk and Dahlia , who excel exclusively on Freeze teams. Still, Escalation teams will perform well against the new Hydro Tulpa in the endgame. So get ready: version 5.7 arrives on June 18, 2025 , promising challenges and lots of fun!
