Don't Worry, Genshin Impact's Leaked Night Spirit Mechanics In Natlan Aren't All That Complicated

With the several Natlan leaks in , there have been mentions of a new gameplay mechanic rumored to be called Night Spirit. The supposed mechanic is said to work on three different fronts and, from an initial standpoint, it could be complicated to understand it immediately. In a sense, because a lot of it is based on descriptions rather than actual footage, this could be even harder to understand – in a way that the Pneuma and Ousia mechanics of the Arkhe system from Fontaine initially sounded troubling, and then proven to be extremely easy to comprehend.

Additionally, the Arkhe system has very little impact in combat compared to the importance of elemental reactions, so even if it triggers a few effects in battle, it is mostly used in exploration and puzzle-solving. For now, it is hard to determine how the rumored Night Spirit will be translated into the game and if it will affect combat a bit more than the Arkhe system, for example. However, based on the leaks so far, it is possible to speculate that the upcoming mechanic will be a lot more present during gameplay rotations for Natlan characters in .

One of the most significant leaks about Genshin Impact 5.0’s Natlan region has allegedly been debunked, and it comes as great news for us, players.

While the Night Spirit mechanic has been mentioned across several leaks, including leaked gameplay kits, it has only been described thoroughly once. According to information provided by the leaker known as Foul, which was shared in a post tagged as “” on Reddit, Night Spirit will be divided into three instances: Night Spirit Eruption, Night Spirit Empowerment, and Night Spirit Transmission. Each of these will supposedly be triggered in a different way and offer different gameplay effects, a lot of which depends on the Natlan characters' gameplay kit.

The table below lists all three Night Spirit effects in and their respective explanations, according to Foul:
