Genshin Impact was one of the best games of 2020, whether for mobile, PC or console, and now there is a Lost Riches event available for fans to enjoy. However, in addition to the event mentioned above, miHoYo also released a trailer for the upcoming Ganyu. This resulted in people asking when the Ganyu banner will be launched, and here you will find what we know about the skills and launch date of the next playable character’s banner.
While Update 1.2 arrived as a premature Christmas present and welcomes the arrival of the blue-haired fighter, miHoYo’s roadmap for 2020 implies that Update 1.3 will arrive sometime in February. We don’t know much official information about the update, but leaks suggest that the new playable characters will be Xiao and Hu Tao.
Xiao and Hu Tao would be fun additions if true, but below you will find the release date for when the Ganyu banner is launched on Impact of Genshin, and you will also find the character’s abilities.
Genshin Impact Ganyu’s skills
Ganyu is a Cryo character in Genshin Impact with many skills at his disposal.
Like another Cryo character in Genshin Impact, Ganyu wields a bow and has many skills up his sleeve that can be useful.
Your normal attack will fire up to six fast arrows and your charged attack will fire a single precise arrow that is more powerful. This deals Cryo damage at level 1, while it will become an Ice Flake arrow at level 2 to do even more Cryo damage.
As for a diving attack, it fires a flurry of arrows in the air so that they hit the ground below and deal damage in area.
In addition to the items above, she also has Trial of the Qiln as an elemental skill. This sees Ganyu running backwards, which results in AoE Cryo damage plus an Ice Lotus.
This Ice Lotus attracts the attention of enemies, and will flourish and do more Cryo AoE damage when destroyed.
Another ability of Ganyu is the Celestial Rain as an Elemental Explosion. This sees Ganyu summon ice to the area, which causes an Ice Soul Gem to emerge.
This Gem will make it rain with fragments of ice, and it will do a lot of Cryo damage during the duration of the Elemental Explosion.
You can check out Ganyu’s skills in action on miHoYo’s character overivew, who also discusses his hobbies and history.
Launch date of the Genshin Impact Ganyu banner
The launch date of the Ganyu banner at Genshin Impact is scheduled for January 12th.
The MiHoYo version 1.2 special program said that the Ganyu banner would be launched in mid-January, but it should arrive on the 12th on this date marks the end of the Albedo banner for the Genshin Impact.
MiHoYo’s patch 1.2 notes show that Albedo is leaving on the above date, so blue-haired emissary Liyue Qixing should arrive on the same day.
