Genshin Impact 3.0 Characters: When Dori May Be Playable
Recent Genshin Impact _ leaks indicate that Dendro nation Sumeru could be _Genshin Impact ’s largest region yet, surpassing the current leader, the Geo nation of Liyue. Liyue has been explorable in Genshin Impact since the game's release in September 2020. Nearly two years later, Sumeru's addition is set to not only overtake Liyue, but map leaks from the Genshin Impact 3.0 beta test suggest it could be as large as the nations of Mondstadt and Liyue combined. If true, Genshin Impact 's ever-expanding map could be getting one of its biggest updates ever when the Dendro region is released later this Sum
An apparent **Genshin Impact ** Version 3.0 leak reveals the Dendro element's reactions with other in-game elements. The upcoming update for HoYoverse's action RPG is expected to be truly enormous, with the new version bringing with it a new region called Sumeru, new playable characters and a brand-new set of elemental abilities. Genshin Impact characters Collei, Dori, and Tighnari have been officially confirmed for 3.0, but even more new features have apparently been revealed via le
An apparent Version 3.0 leak, posted to Twitter by Genshin Intel , seems to reveal how the Dendro element reacts with other Genshin Impact elements. The post suggests that mixing Dendro and Pyro causes targets to Catalyze, which deals bonus damage by spreading elemental damage and aggravating foes. Combining Dendro and Hydro attacks, meanwhile, creates exploding Dendro Cores and causes devastating area-of-effect damage. Using Pyro on the seed creates greater AoE damage with Burgeon, while using Electro creates homing arrows with Hyperbloom. While Genshin Intel's information seems authentic, this leak is just a mere rumor for
Others were quick to defend HoYoverse, arguing that while Sumeru is influenced by real-world cultures, that doesn't make its characters canonically dark-skinned. Though fictional, Genshin Impact has clearly garnered inspiration from a range of Asian and Middle Eastern countries in its Sumeru characters' designs and names. The region's name itself is likely a nod to Sumer, one of the world's oldest civilizations, which was located in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq and Kuw
Alongside Sumeru and the Dendro element, leaks suggest that new artifacts in Genshin Impact 3.0 will shake up the action RPG's gameplay too. One leaked set, called Memories of the Deep Forest, significantly boosts the effectiveness of Dendro in battle. The two-piece set bonus can give a character a 15% Dendro damage bonus, while the four-piece bonus reduces an enemy's Dendro resistance by 25% after taking elemental damage for eight seconds. The second leaked Genshin Impact artifact set, Ornamental Gold Dream, increases a character's Elemental Mastery by 80 when two pieces are equipped. The four-piece bonus, meanwhile, has various effects depending on a party's lin
Recent leaks from **Genshin Impact ** 's 3.0 update have revealed that most of Sumeru's playable characters will be light-skinned, despite the Dendro region and its characters drawing inspiration from South Asia and the Middle East. Though all of the Sumeru NPCs already present in Genshin Impact are light-skinned, some Genshin Impact players pointed out that there are several POC NPCs arriving with Sumeru. However, the inclusion of these NPCs can't make up for Genshin Impact 's apparent whitewashing of Sumeru's playable characters, whose attire and names feel like cultural appropriation when paired with their light skin to
Genshin Impact Version 3.0 is shaping up to be a truly massive update, and the new Dendro element is perhaps the most exciting addition. The new element will add various plant-based abilities for players to wield, and Dendro will cause massive damage when it reacts with other elements. By spreading status effects and triggering area-of-effect explosions, Dendro reactions can turn the tide of any bat
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
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 wuthering Waves Story guide|https://wutheringwavescentral.com/ 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
