Rumor: Genshin Impact Leak Explains How the New Level Cap…

Summary

Genshin Impact Version 5.0 will introduce mounts and raise the level cap to 100, according to recent leaks.
Ascending to Level 100 will require special materials obtained through the Spiral Abyss, not experience books.
Fans are worried about the amount of time it will take to raise each character to max level, as the Spiral Abyss resets each month.

Major changes are coming to Genshin Impact, as Version 5.0 is expected to raise the cap to Level 100. Genshin Impact has focused on adding more quality-of-life features in the Fontaine era, but the defining concepts for the region of Natlan are expected to be mounts and the ability to reach Level 100. Mounts will no doubt be a fun addition to the exploration loop of Genshin Impact, but the full ramifications of raising the level cap have yet to be explained.

The reason for the confusion stems from both a lack of information from reliable sources and the possibility of Level 100 potentially adding new Ascension passives to existing characters. Ideally, HoYoverse will use this as an opportunity to fix certain characters in Genshin Impact who have fallen behind in the meta, such as Albedo or Dehya. However, given that the game has over eighty playable characters, this may prove to be a Herculean task.

Genshin Impact Fans Should Keep an Eye on July 4

Genshin Impact fans have a lot to forward to in the next few weeks, as HoYoverse has some very big plans to keep tabs on coming up in July.

Though this is not the first leak that has mentioned a new level cap in Genshin Impact, user Litian Moments is the first to share details on how players will be able to reach Level 100 once Version 5.0 goes live in August 2024. Specifically, the new leak claims that getting to Level 100 will require special materials obtained through the Spiral Abyss, with each cycle resetting the rewards.

How Players Can Reach Level 100 In Genshin Impact

The journey towards the new level cap is fairly straightforward. There will seemingly be no need to farm experience books, as ascending a Genshin Impact character to the final tier will immediately grant them Level 100. While there is no confirmation of new Ascension passives, the talent cap is being raised to Level 15. Raising the rank of a single talent will require the new Spiral Abyss material on top of the talent materials unique to each character. There is currently no information about whether Tartaglia's passive will work at Level 15.

There is one major downside to the new system: to raise a single character to Level 100 and fully upgrade one of their skills, it will take three months due to the way the Spiral Abyss is time-gated in Genshin Impact. The recent change resets the Spiral Abyss once per month, which implies that it may take a whole year for players to upgrade a full team to the new level cap. While leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, players are hoping that if the new information is true, HoYoverse will loosen the talent upgrade requirements for the new Ascension Rank.
