Genshin Impact new character reveal, Dahlia's element confirmed
The special version 5.6 of Genshin Impact brought a lot of interesting information and one major surprise. Viewers got the first look at Dahlia, a new character. In the Version 5.6 trailer, the presence of a Hydro Vision on Dahlia confirmed that he wields the Hydro element. Dahlia serves as a Deacon in the Church of Favonius, where Barbara and Rosaria also work. Hence, he could have an important role in the storyline and future gameplay.
Connected to past teasers
Fans that have been watching the previous live streams should find Dahlia's silhouette quite familiar. During the Version 5.3 update, outlines of future characters were shown by HoYoverse, and Dahlia perfectly matches one of them. That translates to him being most likely a playable character very soon, during Version 5.7, likely dropping on June 18, 2025.

What we know and what we don't
For now, the other details about Dahlia are somewhat under wraps:
Rarity
: Not revealed yet.
Weapon
: Also not revealed yet.
Just judging by his elegant appearance, players expect him to be a sword or catalyst user, though nothing is official for now.
What is so special about Dahlia?
Fans expect Dahlia could be a great gameplay hero. He may provide an Attack Speed buff, enhancing the strength of Ayato, Yoimiya, and the Wanderer. But Attack Speed alone isn't enough; fans are hoping Dahlia will have other cool effects, possibly something that brings shield support—something Hydro hasn't had yet.
Fighter is not Dahlia with the likes of Mondstadt characters. He seems to be rather friendly with Venti, but whether he is aware of Venti's secret self as Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, is unknown. With his connections to key characters, it is only likely that he will play a major part in the next Archon Quest.
Dahlia will be one of the most interesting fresh faces coming up in Genshin Impact. Players are waiting to see if he will be game-changing, stunning with his powers, or complementing through the story.

How to complete the Tracing Vanishing Trails event in Genshin Impact
Image via: HoYoverse Tracing Vanishing Trails is an investigative event introduced with Version 5.8 in Genshin Impact. With Yelan and her new snazzy outfit as the centerpiece, this limited-time event runs the players through a world of espionage, clue-hunting, and deduction. With the Dark Financier skulking around in the shadows, your role is to calmly piece through the evidence, building it stage by stage to buttress the unraveling from question. Here's everything you will need to know to traverse the event seamlessly while snagging all the rewards. A Case with Yelan: What is the Event In essence, Tracing Vanishing Trails is an investigation and exploration event instead of fighting-heavy ones. The storyline enumerates Yelan, the Liyue master of the intelligence world. She offers players a one-of-a-kind gadget known as the Forensic Imaging Device, which helps locate hidden clues in different locations. Collect evidence in six stages and finally confront the Dark Financier. Primogems, Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, and talent materials are awarded for every stage you complete, so this is just as much an enjoyable story-driven adventure as it is a faster path for your progression. Tracing Vanishing Trails Event FULL DAY 1 Genshin Impact How to Unlock Six stages characterize the event, each unlocked over a couple of days: Stage 1 : Counter-Surveillance Point – August 14, 2025 Stage 2 : Key Stronghold – August 14, 2025 Stage 3: Harbor Pier – August 15, 2025 Stage 4: On the Cargo Ship – August 15, 2025 Stage 5: TBA Case Location – August 18, 2025 Stage 6: Final Confrontation – August 18, 2025 This pacing makes sure that players remain interested in the investigation as the crescendo of suspense builds with the unfolding story. Stage Highlights : From Campfires to Cargo Bombs Stage 1: The First Clues The journey begins by way of Yelan, who sends you to Cheyu Vale to investigate further. The three major evidence items, the campfire, wooden boat, and suspicious pit are found here. Using the Forensic Imaging Device, match the scene with the given records to find discrepancies. Stage 2: Key Stronghold Things heat up at the Stronghold. Players must identify four pieces of evidence: footsteps, a broken crate, a stone in a special room, and a lamp placed oddly in a tree. The imaging device is key here, guiding you to spot what doesn't belong. Stage 3: Harbor Pier By now, crates with mysterious markings begin appearing. These objects hold more secrets than they seem, and once scanned, reveal the trail of the Dark Financier's dealings. One such clue involves a small boat with engraved symbols. Part 3: Harbor Pier - Tracing Vanishing Trails |【Genshin Impact】 Stage 4: Dismantling the Threat The pace shifts from detective work to direct action. Onboard a cargo ship, five hidden bombs must be dismantled. Unlike earlier stages, no imaging device is needed, the bombs are marked in your case records and can be identified by their yellow markers. This stage ups the tension, making quick observation your best ally. If you're looking for an event that mixes storytelling with gameplay depth, Tracing Vanishing Trails is one you won't want to miss. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Honkai Star Rail 3.6 banners leaked, new characters, new Relics and more
Image via: HoYoverse With leaks spilling two brand new characters of 5-star caliber, reruns, and even relic updates, the hype around Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 is already brewing. This patch could very well be the greatest turning point in team-building strategy for those Trailblazers carefully hoarding their Stellar Jade. Two New Recruits, Two Very Different Roads Patch 3.6 welcomes Month of Evernight and Permansor Terrae, introducing new mechanics through summon-style abilities. Though their kits vary widely, they share a single common objective-to inject flexibility and innovation into team compositions. Evernight is the Phase 1 Frost Remembrance character. Her entire kit centers around a Memoria sprite called Eevee that boosts her damage and healing and offers crowd control protection. The Memoria stacking mechanic will please those players that enjoy layered DPS action since the stacks enable powerful finishers once fully charged. Evernight's damage amplification and ability to expose enemy weaknesses feel great for players who want a good balance of their own power and team synergy. HSR 3.6 IS ACTUALLY INSANE?! | FREE DAN HENG SP CONFIRMED & MORE EVERNIGHT DETAILS - HSR 3.6 LEAKS While Phase 2 welcomes Permansor Terrae, Preserver Cantankerous with a somewhat rare combination of buffs and shields, cane-rattle pushbroom super-strong shielding, and the rest stands apart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo Terrae's shields, unlike those from sustain characters, scale roughly with attack power, and his skills push allies forward via advancement of actions and damage amplification. His skill kit, moreover, allows follow-up attacks when buffed allies take their turns, thus making Terrae a fluid option for any team, be it defensively-strong or aggressively-focused. NEW UPDATE! CONFIRM 3.6 TO 4.2 BANNER ROADMAP! Evernight, Castorice, Cyrene - Honkai Star Rail To Cast and Anaxa Return While not yet officially confirmed, a leak indicated the possibility of reruns for Castorice (Quantum Remembrance) and Anaxa (Wind Erudition). For those that missed grabbing these versatile units the first time, 3.6 may finally be their second attempt. For months, ever since the launch, Trailblazers have pondered the age old question of whether to spend or save their resources. After monumentally delivering two summoner-oriented heavy hitters back to back in patch 3.6, it feels like the question is more pressing than ever. Evernight will razzle-dazzle Remembrance strategies while Terrae might just handily contest underwater with Adventurine as the next big Preservation pick. So if all goes down with the rerun, it might end up digging deeper into everyone's wallets and resources. NEW UPDATE! RERUN CHARACTER BANNER ROADMAP FOR 3.6-4.0 | Castorice, Cipher, Yunli - Honkai Star Rail Beyond Banners, Relics and Future Content New relic sets would be developed by the game to enhance the unique playstyle of these characters. While keeping details stashed away, relics that somewhat synergize with HP scaling Units of Ice or attack scaling Units of Preservation might make existing meta builds rarer. Final Thought: Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 isn't only about bringing flashy new faces into the game; it's about evolving how teams work. This patch is turning out to be one of the biggest yet, with Evernight's DPS mechanics and Terrae's shields gaining more presence. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Honkai Star Rail leak reveals Dan Heng Permansor Terrae kit and Eidolons
Image via: HoYoverse The Astral Express carries winds full of rumors about a formidable new ally- Dan Heng Permansor Terrae. Styled in lore as the Chrysos Heir, guarding Earth's Coreflame, the leaked kit of this soon-to-be-released unit hints that he represents a Preservation Path like never seen, a walking fortress whose shields are built from the strength of his sheer Attack power and not Defense. A Story Rooted in Permanence Prior to his expected arrival on the battlefield, in the drip marketing stages, Permansor Terrae was described as the chest of Georios and the body of a walking dragon, bearing a thousand years of torment to keep a dying world from crashing down. It is a story mixed with stoic endurance and mythic imagery that sets the character up as one who holds the line but walks with the allies onto survival. Preservation with a Twist Whereas traditional Preservation characters tend to build their shields from defense, leaks suggest that Dan Heng Permansor Terrae builds his from ATK, giving new possibilities to team compositions. His leaked base stats fit with this hybrid playstyle: HP: 1047 ATK: 485 DEF: 848 SPD: 97 Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae Full Kit Breakdown & Early Value Discussion | Honkai: Star Rail Abilities Built for Endurance and Support Basic Attack: Deals physical damage to a single foe. Skill : Grants the Bondmate buff to an ally and shields all allies for three turns. These shields can stack but are capped at 300% of the current highest value. Ultimate : Deals Physical damage to all foes, and grants allies to deal offset damage with shields for three turns, boosting the 'Souldragon', a special follow-up attacker triggered on their turn.

Gains an Action Advance of 40% at the start of the battle. Enhances Souldragon turn rate and grants extra Energy when 'Bondmate' lands attacks. NEW BEST SHIELDER + BUFFER!? Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae Looks CRAZY & First Impressions (HSR) While players just have to wait to actually play him, these leaks show a Preservation character who blurs the line between damage dealer and protector. Since shields are tied to ATK scaling, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae may turn the ways players think about shield-centric strategies, especially in teams that rely Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.
