A recent Genshin Impact leak is teasing the locations where players can find Furina's local specialty item, expected to be added to the game during the Version 4.2 update. Furina's upcoming debut in Genshin Impact's next update has been one of the most highly-anticipated character launches throughout the Fontaine region. As the Hydro Archon, Furina plays a major role in the story of Fontaine, quickly becoming a fan-favorite for her boisterous and brash attitude. Now, fans looking to farm for Furina's materials are getting a bit of early help from leaks.
Furina's addition to Genshin Impact during Version 4.2 will reportedly be accompanied by the second major map addition to the RPG's newest region. The newest addition to Genshin Impact is heavily rumored to expand the region to the east beyond the mountains of the Belleau Region. The new area is expected to feature the newest town within Fontaine, adding the region's second harbor to its eastern portion. The map expansion will bring new resources for players to farm in the game's world, including the local specialties needed to level Furina.
A new leak shared via Genshin Impact leakers Fy1995 Leaks and Tao reveals the spawn locations for Furina's local specialty in Genshin Impact. The image suggests that Furina's local specialty flower will mostly grow in the mountains surrounding the Opera Epiclese, with 51 flowers available before starting any quests. Completing the "Weeping Willow of the Lake" quest will also grant players access to 20 more of the mysterious flower. For Genshin Impact players already farming resources within Fontaine, a limited shop will allow players to exchange Tidalgas for up to 15 of the new flower.
Furina's leaks have shown off several unique mechanics at play within the Hydro Archon's kit. Early reveals of Furina's gameplay have suggested she will utilize a unique HP-draining mechanic, sapping her allies' HP in order to empower her own attacks. Furina's Elemental Skill in Genshin Impact also spawns Hydro mimics to aid her in battle, attacking and applying Hydro damage to enemies. Furina is expected to debut on the first banner of Version 4.2 when the update launches on November 8.
Furina will not be the only new character joining Genshin Impact during the game's Version 4.2 update with a four-star character also planned for the RPG's next patch. The Version 4.2 update will see the launch of Genshin Impact's newest four-star unit in Charlotte, the first Fontaine character to be revealed in-game. Leaks have teased Charlotte as a Cryo healer within Genshin Impact, using her Kamera to both deal AoE Cryo damage and restore allies' HP. Furina and Charlotte's debut in Genshin Impact should look to see plenty of success for HoYoverse.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
