Genshin Impactcostumes have been one of the main topics in thegame’s community in the past couple of weeks. Between Version 2.4 adding skins for Ningguang and Keqing and recent leaks hinting at skins forMondstadt characters Fischl and Diluc, the player base encountered many rumors and theories on other skins that could arrive in the upcomingGenshin Impactupdates.
Character skins have largely taken a backseat throughoutGenshin Impact’s development since the game released in September 2020. The breakout hit RPG didn’t see its first skins for some of game’s growing roster of iconic characters until the 1.6 update added summer-themed outfits for Barbara and Jean.

The second part of the currentGenshin Impactupdate 2.4has officially added alternate costumes for four popular characters: Jean, Mona, Rosaria, and Amber. A recent post on the popularGenshin Impactsubreddit has revealed that the skins have provided a significant damage buff before miHoYo decided to implement a quick hotfix. Players were even asking for the post to be removed from the subreddit before it caught miHoYo’s attention.
A 48% damage buff largely impacts the damage output, and players usually get very creative with such bugs even when they don’t' stay for long. Unfortunately, according to multiple replies in the comment section, the buff did not apply in the Spiral Abyss which prevented players from fulfilling their 36-star challenge. While most of the new outfits are only minor alterations to the original designs, the Cryo polearm user Rosaria will see some significant changes. Previous leaks have also suggestedMondstadt characters would be the next to receive skinsfollowing the release of Keqing and Ningguang’s formal attire.
So far 2022 has been a great year forGenshin Impactas it introduced two new characters to the game, Yun Jin and Shenhe. The update also features three banner re-runs for some fan-favorite characters. Xiao was placed alongside Shenhe in the first banner cycle while Ganyu and Zhongli have already arrived as part of the second banner cycle that includes anotherGenshin Impactdouble bannerre-run. In addition that, the officialGenshin Impactsocial media accounts have confirmed a new character that will arrive in update 2.5, the long-awaited Electro catalyst user Yae Miko. She will apparently arrive alongside Kokomi and the popular Raiden Shogun.
