New Genshin Impact 4.2 Characters Are Furina and Charlotte

In Genshin Impact Version 4.2, players will be able to pull for two new Fontaine characters, Furina and Charlotte. The two will make their playable debuts in the gacha, and there will be a story quest for Furina as well.

In the lore, Furina is the Hydro Archon of Fontaine. Meanwhile, Charlotte works as a reporter for The Steambird, which is a newspaper company. Both of them have had prominent roles in either the Archon Quests or an event. Charlotte had the honor of being the first Fontaine character the Traveler met.

We know that Charlotte is a Cryo character and she’ll be a four-star unit. Judging by the shape of her Vision, she will likely be a Pneuma-aligned character. Meanwhile, as the Hydro Archon, we know that Furina will be a five-star Hydro character. Due to her being an Archon, she defaults to an Ousia alignment, but can swap between it and Pneuma as she fights and uses abilities. That in turn changes her attacks.

Phase 1 event wishes will feature Furina and Baizhu as the five-stars, with Charlotte as one of the focus four-star characters on the banner. Cyno and Ayato reruns will appear in phase 2 of 4.2.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices, with Furina and Charlotte arriving in version 4.2 on November 8, 2023.
