The world of Teyvat allows Genshin Impact players to explore many locations, cross swords with various enemies, and collect precious rewards. However, the main focus of the game is its unique story and character designs, which is usually the case for most gacha-based games.
Both of those things often lead Genshin Impact fans to try to replicate or even create their own characters based on the information revealed in the official story. A new character concept shared on the game's subreddit took the community by storm.
Redditor QAE0 has posted an interesting design concept for one of the most anticipated characters at the moment, the Dendro Archon, who is expected to be the next Archon in line to come to the playable roster. The design takes inspiration from the Egyptian and Persian cultures, which makes sense since the new Sumeru region is confirmed to have a lot of deserts. Most fans seem to love the design, and a lot of them claim that the concept embodies their image of the Dendro Archon.
The whole concept was overall well received in the community as the post gathered over 1k upvotes. Multiple replies in the comment section claim that they would like the upcoming Archon to have a child model, especially since she's confirmed to be the youngest out of the seven Archons. She is also known as the Lesser Lord Kusanali and the God of Wisdom, who rules in the pursuit of all knowledge. Another thing that is very interesting about Kusanali is the fact that she can manipulate the Dendro element, which is yet to be added to the game.
There is already a lot of hype about the new element since it has the potential to completely change how the current combat system works and what the best team compositions against certain enemies are supposed to be. There have already been multiple leaks about two new Elemental Reactions -- Overgrown and Intensified, both of which are related to the new Dendro element.
While there is no official release date for this character, she is expected to arrive alongside the new major nation Sumeru. According to credible leakers, Genshin Impact update 2.8 could be the final one of the whole Inazuma arc, which means that the new major update could arrive around August 20. However, this should be taken with a grain of salt considering that the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 2.7 has officially been delayed. There is still no information about its duration, but the delay will most likely have an impact on HoYoverse's strict update schedule, which means that Sumeru's arrival could also be postponed.
Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Nintendo Switch version in development.
