Genshin Impact Reveals All Eleven Fatui Harbingers

This isn't the first time Genshin Impact has been embroiled in a whitewashing controversy. Out of Genshin Impact 's fifty playable characters, only two have darker skin. Kaeya, one of these two characters, has appeared whitewashed in-game and in promotional materials for Wutheringwavescentral.Com Genshin Impact . A description of Kaeya in Genshin Impact referring to his " somewhat exotic appearance " was patched out of the game after drawing criticism. The lack of BIPOC representation in the popular game has often been excused by the current explorable regions being based on European and Southeast Asian countries. Unintentionally, this excuse highlights how Genshin Impact fails to represent the multitude of various groups in China and Japan, on which Liyue and Inazuma are ba

Much more than other content in the game, new characters often keep Genshin Impact feeling fresh. Each character has a different playstyle and usually features some unique animations. Some even open up fun traversal methods, such as the ability to walk on water with Kokomi in Genshin Impact . Certain characters miss the mark, but there is generally something enjoyable to be found in each one. The new Sumuru region looks promising, and Version 3.0 marks the first time fans will be able to incorporate the Dendro element into their gamep

User BLANK on Twitter posted an image last month, explaining how the new Electro user will operate. HoYoverse has recently confirmed her element but has yet to reveal much about her kit. The leak says she will be a four-star unit and use a Claymore, making her the third Electro Claymore wielder after Razor and Beidou. Dori's Elemental Skill summons a turret, dealing Electro Damage to enemies. The initial shot releases two more bullets upon hit, targeting two nearby foes. Dori's Elemental Burst summons a lamp that attaches to the active character, gradually regenerating HP and energy. Enemies will be damaged if they touch this connection. Additionally, BLANK reported that Dori will receive a utility passive to refund character and weapon ascension materials in Genshin Impact when crafted, at a 25% cha

Each version of the game typically lasts six weeks. The 2.8 update launched on July 13, 2022, meaning Version 3.0 should occur around August 24, 2022. This means Dori's release date should be sometime around August 24 as well. If Dori turns out to be a four-star unit, she'll most likely appear alongside one of the five-star Dendro characters. Leaks are not concrete, but they allow for fun speculation on how future characters may work. Dori's kit could vary upon the official release. Based on the leak, she could potentially be a great supporting character. Depending on the stat that she scales with, Genshin Impact's 3.0 update may introduce a must-have Electro u

All but one of Sumeru's leaked playable characters are light-skinned, including the Dendro nation's Archon, Kusanali, whose fairy-like appearance bears an uncanny resemblance to the Traveler's companion in Genshin Impact , Paimon . Dehya, an allegedly upcoming 4-star Pyro character, appears to be the only darker-skinned character arriving with Sumeru. Many Genshin Impact players expressed their disappointment at HoYoverse's decision to make Sumeru's characters light-skin

One character in particular who has been met with criticism is Dori, a 4-star Electro character in Genshin Impact hailing from Sumeru. Dori, a traveling merchant, appears to be inspired by the story of Aladdin, accompanied by a genie in a magic lamp. Various adaptations of Aladdin have been set in Middle Eastern countries like Jordan and Iraq, with Disney's fictional setting of Agrabah described as bordering the River Jordan. Dori's pants resemble shalwar, loose pants cuffed at the ankles that are commonly worn throughout South and Central Asia. The character's full name, Dori Sangemah Bay, takes words from Urdu and Hindi. Despite the obvious influences that went into Dori's character, HoYoverse opted to give her a very pale skin t

The map shared by BLANK also showed a second highlighted region in the most Northeastern corner of Teyvat, however, it's unknown whether this will be part of Sumeru too. Some Genshin Impact players responded to the leak by pointing out that this region was previously believed to be the location of the Haar Islands, now known as the Golden Apple Archipelago. The Golden Apple Archipelago is a set of islands featured in a limited-time event during version 1.6. During the event, the Dodo-King invited Klee to the islands, accompanied by numerous other Genshin Impact playable characters. Since the limited-time event, the Golden Apple Archipelago in Genshin Impact remains inaccessible, however, it seems like this could change in version

The hodgepodge of cultures used in Dori's character model demonstrates how Sumeru deviates from Genshin Impact 's previous approach of each region being inspired by a single country. Despite drawing abundant inspiration from numerous South Asian, Central Asian, and Middle Eastern cultures, Genshin Impact opted to give the majority of its Sumeru playable characters pale skin. Though several darker-skinned Sumeru NPCs exist, this can't make up for the majority of Sumeru's playable characters having light skin, nor Genshin Impact 's track record of whitewashing controversies . Hopefully, HoYoverse will hear its players' concerns and disappointment and take steps to diversify Genshin Impact 's roster of playable characters in future upda
