Genshin Impact is one of the widely renowned free-to-play RPGs. Since this game was initially released in 2020, its anime-style open-world environment has captivated gamers’ attention. This game presents an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching. The best part is that MiHoYo brings frequent updates to add fresh characters and content to maintain this fan base.
A recent leak indicates that a new 5-star character is joining Genshin Impact’s upcoming version 5.8. This revelation contradicts the previous leaks hinting at no new character joining the game in the upcoming update. However, as soon as the new leak surfaced, the gaming community buzzed over this potential debut.
Genshin Impact often introduces new buffs for characters, but it’s been a while since a character transformed a reaction the way Nilou did for Bloom. It looks like, once again, MiHoYo is about to bring something similar. This time it’s going to boost the Electro powers.
Recently, leakers like hxg_diluc and Uncle Kokomi shared posts that suggest the upcoming update will introduce an Electro 5-Star character, keeping in mind Electro-Charged teams. This character is rumored to have a new version of Electro-Charged that can critically hit or deal hefty damage to opponents in a single hit.
Further, Uncle Kokomi stated that this character won’t exclusively belong to Electro-Charged party members. Instead, leaks indicate that the upcoming character is going to be a medium female 5-star character who can restore old hypercarries like Tartaglia or improve the new ones like Clorinde.

Between Version 4.3 and Version 5.3, Genshin Impact was solely focused on boosting Pyro reactions. This time it seems to take care of the Hydro reactions. While Electro-Charged is already good enough in the game, a few obstacles should be removed for it to become the best. Version 5.8 can do it with the introduction of this new female character.
Since this update has surfaced, the Genshin Impact community has responded with curiosity and excitement. Players are willing to know more about the character’s backstory, abilities, and how she’s going to fit in the existing lore.
Additionally, the idea of a 5-star Hydro character has led to discussions about the new team-building strategies, weapon choices, and storyline. Players are even curious to know whether it has significant gameplay implications.
Genshin Impact getting a new version update is not a surprising thing. The most exciting part is the new 5-star Hydro character. Despite previous leaks saying no new character is coming in the upcoming version, this leak has generated significant discussions. At this point, the developer team has confirmed nothing about this addition. However, if this new character really comes, it will open new sides for Electro-charged characters.
