Yelan and Kiki Shinobu have been revealed by Genshin Impact surprisingly early.
I must say, this drip marketing release caught me way off-guard. I’ve been happily saving my primogems for Kaedehara Kazuha, not even considering the characters on the horizons of 2.7. Yelan is a character that I’ve been looking forward to also, as she uses my favourite weapon – the bow.
Genshin Impact seems to be releasing drip marketing earlier and earlier these days, perhaps in an effort to beat the leakers to it. Anyhow, the two new characters look gorgeous.
Yelan appears to hail from Liyue, and works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Her design is really lovely, with blue details fitting of the hydro element.

Like a phantom, she often appears in various guises at the center of events, and disappears before the storm stops.#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/XVCffaDUpL— Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) March 28, 2022
We’ll have to wait for more details on her kit, but she is meant to be a five star.
The other new character is Kuki Shinobu, the Deputy Leader of the Arataki gang. Yes – that’s Itto’s gang! People are suspecting that Itto may be getting a rerun soon, with Kuki featured as a four star on his banner. Kuki wields electro and apparently is the ‘mender’ of the Arataki gang. I can’t wait to meet her and see how she interacts with Arataki Itto, a favourite character of mine.

I think her design is also gorgeous, though it’s received mixed reception. I personally really like it, she has a cool vibe. Her mask especially. I’ve actually been asking for ages to see playable members of Itto’s gang – particularly a female character. Needless to say, I’m very excited for Kuki’s release.
Who are you most looking forward to? Or are you still set on obtaining Kamisato Ayato?
