‘Genshin Impact’ hint reveals the next hero banner after Klee

Genshin Impact will soon be releasing a preview of Patch 1.1. Before that, they gave us a preview of who the next Banner Hero will be, a new character that has been introduced to the game.

The above image shows a “darkened” chibi version of the coming hero, but it’s easy to tell who it is from the little clues, namely the dangling earring and the tiny tips of hair on the top of the head.

It’s zhongli.

Can not you see it?

Players who made it through Liyue history in a decent way will have encountered Zhongli on a quest that keeps us running out of money and making us pay for it. In the game, his superpowers aren’t cheap, he’s a geo-hero who carries a polearm, which makes him only the second character in the game after Xiangling. Another upcoming hero, Xiao, will also have a polearm, and of course both are 5 stars.

We have something rough idea of ​​Zhongli’s geo skills based on previous leaks:

Its E-ability – create a geo-construct that resonates with other geo-objects. Hold E to make it explode and create a shield based on the damage done.

His Q Ability – Summon a giant meteor that does great damage and petrifies enemies who take more damage from physical attacks and geo-attacks.

I’m not going to go through his whole constellation as some details are missing, but you have an idea that he’ll likely be pretty strong.

We already got some early notes from miHoYo about what’s changing in 1.1, but hopefully we’ll hear more today. We’re getting better artifact sorting, a device that we can use to create our own teleport points, and a resin cap that has been increased to 160 instead of 120, which … obviously does very little to solve the current resin problems with the game, so I hope that they do it took one more pass of changes for it.

Zhogli was due to arrive on November 11th at 1.1am, assuming the date is correct, and Klee was supposed to leave. At this point, players have found that their “grace moves” from banner to banner in the changing slot. So by the time Zhongli arrives at Klee on 80 trains, you should only need 10 more to get 5 stars from his banner (but there is only a 50% chance that Zhongli will actually be). Geo is not the strongest element right now as it is defensive in a game where most people deal with stacking offenses with maybe a healer, but we’ll see how he behaves when he’s alive.

Expect more information from miHoYo and official confirmation of the next hero soon.
