Who doesn't love a free character? According to recent leaks, Genshin Impact will be gifting players with a free copy of Sethos in version 5.7. This update will not include a map expansion, however, it will include a new quest with Dainsleif , a main event in Sumeru , and new endgame content to challenge travelers.
- Playworld is modified following a lawsuit from Nintendo and Pokémon
- Genshin Impact: Update 5.6 is now available
Previously, it was speculated that version 5.7 would be "bare," as it only offers 57 Intertwined Fates for free-to-play accounts. However, the events and the Archon Quest promise to balance things out. Thus, we will have the debut of two new characters: Dahlia and Skirk . Skirk, in particular, arrives as a powerful Cryo hypercarry, sparking much curiosity in the community.
What to expect from Genshin Impact version 5.7?
Eventually, players may get a glimpse of the characters from Nod-Krai , similar to the Fontaine teaser Charlotte gave during the 3.7 event. Speculation suggests there's a chance Nod-Krai, located north of Sumeru, will be part of the main event's storyline. However, we still don't know exactly which civilization the new NPCs will come from.
However, the main highlight is Sethos . According to KazusaLeaks , he will be the free 4-star character of the main event, available in the first half of the update . Although it's not confirmed if he will appear in the event banners, the Spiral Abyss buffs suggest at least a rerun of the character Mavuika . Surprisingly, despite being a 4-star character, Sethos has a highly praised visual and gameplay design, considered one of the strongest in recent years .
How can you use Sethos in 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 can be the simple Sling , a 3-star weapon. However, he needs 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 mesh well with the styles of Skirk and Dahlia , who shine exclusively in Freeze teams. Still, Escalation teams will perform well against the new Hydro Tulpa in endgame mode. So get ready: version 5.7 arrives on June 18, 2025 , promising challenges and lots of fun!
