Genshin Impact Confirms 3 New Characters for Version 4.7

Genshin Impact Version 4.7 will feature three new playable characters, as Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos will join the rest of the cast in the upcoming update. As the Fontaine era slowly comes to a close in Genshin Impact, the 5-Star characters released during its patches will likely be remembered for providing new depth to old gameplay. New mechanics such as Hit Point fluctuation and the Bond of Life have come to define the Fontaine roster, whereas Navia reinvented Crystallize as an Elemental Reaction all by her lonesome.

In the first half of Fontaine, characters such as Lyney, Neuvillette, and Wriothesley introduced players to Hit Point fluctuation, with Neuvilette establishing himself as one of the best on-field characters in Genshin Impact. However, it could be argued that the new mechanic only became complete with the debut of Furina in Genshin Impact Version 4.2, whose ability kit enabled it for other, older characters such as Eula or Hu Tao.

By contrast, Version 4.6 is set to introduce Arlecchino to Genshin Impact, and she will kick off the Bond of Life phase of Fontaine. Arlecchino will be joined by Clorinde and Sigewinne in Version 4.7, whose ability kit will also feature the Bond of Life. Whereas Clorinde will be an on-field character like Arlecchino, Sigewinne is expected to be a healer with on-field potential (similar to Kokomi). The wildcard of Version 4.7 appears to be Sethos, a Sumeru character who HoYoverse confirmed to be a 4-Star Electro Bow.

Sethos will make his debut in Version 4.6 during Cyno's second Story Quest, though details of his gameplay for Version 4.7 remain scarce. On top of introducing three new playable characters, Version 4.7 is also expected to continue the Dainsleif storyline in Genshin Impact. Given that Version 4.6 introduces the underwater ruins of Remuria, it's quite likely that Dainsleif's appearance will be connected to the new zone.

While some players were hoping that Sigewinne in Genshin Impact would be a 4-Star
