Genshin Impact 5.3 Update Details
Update 5.3 invites players to a new adventure with “Act V Archon Quest” set in Natlan. In the new story, Pyro Archon Mavuika joins the battlefield with two different fighting styles: On the one hand, he can defeat his opponents with his sword, and on the other hand, he can move on both land and water by riding his creature called Flamestrider. Mavuika, who can make continuous Pyro attacks with her elemental abilities, launches a powerful area-of-effect attack with Elemental Burst.
In addition, Cryo Catalyst user Citlali and Anemo Catalyst user Lan Yan are also offered to the players. While Citlali stands out with her defense and powerful Cryo attacks, Lan Yan’s shield and attacks that can transform elements draw attention. The update also includes event wishes where beloved characters like Arlecchino and Clorinde can be reunited.
Lantern Rite, one of the players’ favorite events, returns with this update. During the event, 1600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates, a free 4-star Liyue character, and a new outfit for Xiangling can be earned. Additionally, mini-games such as “Immortal Combat” and new battle challenge events await players.
With the 5.3 update, a permanent rhythm game mode is added to the game. Players will have the opportunity to compose and share their own music. Additionally, the Artifact inventory limit has been increased to 2100, while the character development process has also been made more user-friendly. In addition, the time to collect rewards after boss fights has been shortened, making gameplay more fluid.
This comprehensive update of Genshin Impact seems to keep players busy for a long time with both new content and gameplay improvements.
