Summary
With about two months left beforeGenshin ImpactVersion 4.7 drops, recent leaks have revealed the banner characters for the upcoming update. The list includes the much-awaited characters Clorinde and Sigewinne, who were introduced duringGenshin Impact’s Fontaine chapter. The leak also named a never-before-seen character named Sethos, which many fans are excited about.
Genshin Impacthas debuted some strong characters in Fontaine, such as Furina and Neuvillette, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. It will be interesting to see what the rumored characters will bring to the table, both in the meta andGenshin Impact’s world building.
The Leaked Genshin Impact 4.7 Characters Were Teased Before
Genshin Impactand other HoYoverse titles often introduce future playable characters as story NPCs, and Fontaine is a great example of this. Clorinde and Sigewinne appeared in the Archon Quests, whileSethos was teased to come out inGenshin ImpactVersion 4.6supposedly.
HoYoverse hasn’t officially confirmed these characters, so the leaked information, especially regarding their abilities, may be subject to change until Version 4.7 drops in June. Plus, considering howGenshin Impactoften changes characters' release schedules, it’s still possible for Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos' releases to be pushed back to later updates.
Clorinde
Known as Fontaine’s strongest duelist, Clorinde is tasked to duel people in the trials of Fontaine, where she racked up several victories, including one against Navia’s father. Clorinde also served asHydro Archon Furina’s bodyguard, which may explain why her rumored kit is DPS-heavy with some support perks.
Clorinde is a 5-star Electro Sword character, who’s said to be an Overloaded DPS, just like the 5-star Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino. Many fans were disappointed by this news becauseOverload team comps inGenshin Impactaren’t reliable enough. However, Clorinde’s addition might be Genshin Impact’s way to improve the Overload elemental reaction.
Sigewinne
Sigewinne is the head nurse of the Fortress of Meropide’s infirmary, who first appears in the Archon Quest. She is a Melusine with a “special body” that’s closer to a human’s than the race’s typical faun-like appearance. Despite being a nurse in the game, rumors suggested that Sigewinne would be a 5-star sub-DPS Hydro Bow unit, which surprised many fans.
In the past, leakers have reported thatSigewinne would launch in the last fewGenshin Impactupdates. It was previously teased that she would be playable in the Fontaine chapter, but the exact version update and release date weren’t specified. Past leaks also suggested that Sigewinne would be a 4-star character to complement Clorinde. But if she was promoted to 5-star, it’s likely that she will be released in the second half of Version 4.7.
Sethos
Sethos is reportedly an upcoming 4-star Geo Bow character from Sumeru, making him the first Geo character from the region.Genshin Impactleaks suggest that Sethos might be connected to Cynoas he’s allegedly from the Great Red Sand, and might even appear in Cyno’s second Story Quest in Version 4.6.
Genshin Impactdebuted Sumeru almost two years ago, which is why it’s a big deal for fans to finally have a Geo character from this region.
There’s no available information yet regarding Sethos' kit, but manyGenshin Impactfans are predicting that he would complement Cyno’s abilities.Cyno is an Electro character, and if Sethos is indeed a Geo character, they could be a viable duo in Crystalize (Geo + Electro) team comps. Some also speculate that Sethos might use sand-based Geo abilities, which could unlock new powerful elemental reactions, like triggering a quicksand effect when interacting with Hydro characters, or creating glass while interacting with Pyro or Electro units.
