Genshin Impact 4.7 live stream

Every month HoYoverse hosts a special livestream to show off the upcoming banners, events, and quests coming in the next update. At the time of writing, we have now seen the 4.7 live stream, which details all you could want to know about the upcoming patch. Check it out here. Naturally, everyone looks forward to the livestream because we get 300 Primogems in the form of Genshin Impact promo codes.

What are the Banners in Genshin Impact 4.7?

The confirmed characters for Genshin Impact 4.7 are Clorinde, Sethos, and Sigewinne, two of which are 5-stars. As per live stream, we know that Clorinde and Sigewinne will feature on the banners, with Clorinde being available during the first phase of 4.7 Sethos is a four-star character who will appear on the banner with an increased drop rate during Clorinde’s Banner. Running alongside Clorinde in the first phase banner is Alhaitham, with Furina featuring on Sigewinne’s banner.

Clorinde

• Electro Vision
• 5-Star
• Available during the first phase Banner

Clorinde is a five-star Electro character we’ve seen since patch 4.0. She is a Champion Duelist of Fontaine, and we’ve seen from her splash art (and from some Clorinde leaks) that she uses a pistol and a sword in combat. Arguably one of the more stylish-looking characters, HoYoverse really nailed her duelist design, complete with a wonderful feathered cap. Naturally, we can also expect the signature weapon for Clorinde and Sigewinne to appear on the Weapon Banners alongside the Clorinde Banner.

Sethos

• Electro Vision
• 4-Star
• Available during the first phase Banner

Sethos can fire piercing Electro arrows in combat. Sethos’s Charge Level 2 attack restricts his movements but fires a formidable, piercing shot. He can use his Elemental Skill to consume his Elemental Energy, letting him shorten the charging time of his Charged Attacks. It restores his energy whenever his attacks trigger any type of Electro-related Elemental Reaction. His Elemental Burst can also fire consecutive piercing bolts.

Sigewinne

• Hydro Vision
• 5-Star
• Available during the second phase Banner

We all remember the Melusine, Sigewinne, the resident healer in the Fortress of Meropide. Sigewinne is seemingly the right-hand of Wriothesley, helping him keep order in the fortress as the head nurse. Sigewinne is a hybrid healer and DPS character.

Genshin Impact 4.7 new additions

As per a press release by HoYoverse, there are several new changes coming to the game when version 4.7 launches. The most notable of these is the increased Original Resin cap and the new permanent mode called the Imaginarium Theater.

Imaginarium Theater

Starting from July 1, a fresh monthly reset challenge domain “Imaginarium Theater” will emerge in a hidden chamber within Mondstadt Library, and the Spiral Abyss will shift to a monthly update cycle on the 16th day of each month. Imaginarium Theater offers combat challenges of multiple difficulty levels but allows only characters of designated elements to participate, with a limit on the number of times they can fight. You can earn 620 Primogems each month by clearing the Imaginarium Theater, along with new photo poses for each character and Fantastical Blessings that will apply in the open world for the six designated characters of the month.

Original Resin cap increase

In what is perhaps the most highly requested change to the game, Genshin Impact is finally increasing the Original Resin cap from 160 to 200. While the increase isn’t anything huge, it is something many have wanted for a long time. Original Resin is a resource in Genshin Impact that lets you challenge Domains and farm Relics, you basically need a lot of Resin to build your characters. The limit was originally 120, but it was increased to 160 early on, and now HoYoverse is increasing the limit again.
