A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing a core gameplay element for upcoming four-star character Chevreuse, introducing a new crowd control mechanic for the character. The sizable roster for HoYoverse's massively popular RPG features a plethora of characters with unique mechanics, giving each new character their own unique role to fill. Characters like Nilou and Hu Tao provide unique mechanics that change both core gameplay elements and playstyle, with the former upgrading Bloom Cores and the latter gaining damage from being low on HP. Now, one of the game's newest four-star characters will feature a unique form of crowd control.
Genshin Impact's next update is set to feature a pair of new characters introduced to the game's roster, with one being a long-awaited addition. Navia's debut as Version 4.3's featured five-star character will mark the first time a new Geo character has joined Genshin Impact's roster in nearly two years. She is set to feature a game-changing mechanic revolving around Crystallize shards, providing damage from the normally defensive Geo elemental reaction. New four-star character Chevreuse is also set to feature her own unique mechanic, according to a recent leak.
A new leak shared by prominent Genshin Impact leaker HomDGCat on Twitter has revealed a new form of crowd control used by new four-star character Chevreuse. According to the post, Chevreuse will feature a knock-back mechanic on her Elemental Burst's secondary shells and her Elemental Skill's chain explosions that pull enemies towards her. The effect is notably different from the vacuum vortexes created by Anemo characters, only pulling an enemy towards her when casting the ability. The only character in Genshin Impact to feature a similar ability is Yelan with her Elemental Skill.
Chevreuse's new mechanic comes as leaks have already shared a plethora of details about the new four-star character's gameplay. Chevreuse is expected to focus around the Overload elemental reaction, reportedly featuring resistance shredding for both Pyro and Electro. The pull-in mechanic on her Elemental Burst would look to combat one of the common player complaints about the Pyro-Electro reaction, with Overload knocking enemies away. Chevreuse will be added to Genshin Impact with Version 4.3, currently expected to launch on December 20.
Alongside Genshin Impact's two newest characters, the RPG is expected to receive several quality-of-life updates with the launch of Version 4.3. Version 4.3 will introduce a "re-deploy" mechanic for Expeditions, allowing players to redeem rewards from Expeditions and send characters back out with one click. The update is also set to feature several changes to Artifacts, including an increase to the material upgrade cap and curated Artifact recommendations for each character. Chevreuse will look to be a powerful addition to an under-utilized team composition with the launch of Genshin Impact's next update.
