Genshin Impact Nod-Krai teaser reveals Varka and Alice character designs, elements, and voice actors
HoYoverse has officially revealed two long-anticipated characters—Varka and Alice—in the latest Genshin Impact Nod-Krai teaser titled Moonlit Ballad of the teaser showcases their full character designs and confirms their elemental affinities, finally delivering on years of in-game teasing. Varka, the Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, appears with a tall, muscular build and visible battle scars, highlighting his combat experience. The teaser shows him wielding the Claymore weapon Wolf's Gravestone, confirming his status as a Claymore user. Additionally, his Anemo vision is clearly displayed on the left side of his coat, solidifying his elemental alignment. Meanwhile, Alice—an eccentric and powerful figure in Genshin Impact lore and the mother of Klee—also makes her long-awaited debut. She is depicted with long blonde hair, elf-like ears, and a distinctively styled witch's hat. Her Pyro vision is attached to her hat, though the teaser does not explicitly show her weapon of choice. Given her identity as a witch, it is speculated she may be a Catalyst user. Voice actor details for both characters have also been revealed. Varka is voiced by Sugita Tomokazu (Japanese), Park Sang-hoon (Korean), and Hao Xianghai (Chinese), while his English voice actor has not yet been announced. Alice is voiced by Rachel Kimsey (English), Inoue Kikuko (Japanese), Yeo Min-jeong (Korean), and Zhang Qi (Chinese). As two of the most significant unrevealed characters in the game's lore, their debut has generated significant excitement among the Genshin Impact community. More information on their roles, story involvement, and playability is expected to be revealed as the Nod-Krai update approaches.

Genshin Impact Fearsome Ferocious Firepower event guide
Image via: HoYoverse In Genshin Impact, Fearsome Ferocious Firepower is not an average battle trial. It's a defense style mini-game which requires sharp reflexes and strategic decision making. The event unfolds in a dedicated domain in Fontaine Beryl Region, south of Elynas. The cunning players will have to put their tactics to use as they confront 12 waves of enemies with just a few of those special cannon shells. Here's everything you need to know to become an ace at this chaos. Welcome to the Cannon Arena This domain will place you behind a stationary cannon, your only instrument in stopping the onslaught of slimes, hilichurls, and others. The aim is simple: ensure the enemies do not pass your defense line, but with limited shells per match, your main concern is managing ammunition. — GenshinUpdate (@GenshinUpdate) Know Your Arsenal: The Four Shell Types Understanding your cannon ammunition comes in handy when you try to survive all 12 waves: Solid Shot (x40): Standard, single-target ammo for isolated enemies or for clean-up. For instance, smash Hydro stones with these or pick off any remaining stragglers. Grape Shot (x25): Breaks into three shots after firing, making this ideal for enemies grouped horizontally. Use the aiming lines to adjust the path for splitting. Explosive Shot (x30): Pyro AoE damage plus reaction setup of Overload or Vaporize; good against Electro Slimes and wooden shields. Directed Piercing Shot (x25): Pierces a line through enemies; perfect to use on monsters arranged vertically or diagonally and great for Geo Samachurls. Fearsome Ferocious Firepower : New 5.7 Event Day 1 Gameplay Guide | A Perfect Result 86 Kills How to Win Enemy Waves Attack waves come with various threat levels. These are just some tips to remain one step ahead: Geo Samachurls (3 Waves) : They shield others. Fast killing with Directed Piercing Shots is in order. Electro Slimes: Use Explosive Shots to proc Overloaded, and maybe toss them off. Wooden Shield Hilichurl Guards : These guys are susceptible to Explosive Shots, too. Lightning will not cut it; AoE is the way to go. Tip for the Final Wave: Break the Hydro stone with a Solid Shot to apply Hydro, use Explosive Shots for a Vaporize chain reaction, and wipe the hordes out. Tips for Success Don't waste powerful type shells early on. Hold onto Grape and Piercing shots for enemies in groups or behind shields. Study enemy formations before shooting. Properly lining up a shot will destroy several enemies simultaneously. Always keep an eye on your ammo count. Running out of the better type of shell midwave can seal the end of your run. Event Unlocking Instructions To enter the event, players must: Clear Archon Quest Prologue: Act III - Song of the Dragon and Freedom Achieve Adventure Rank 20 Once unlocked, head to the domain in Fontaine and prepare to test your firepower. Rare Ferocious Firepower will be a fresh recoil on Genshin's usual combat formula. Merging tower-defense mechanics with elemental strategy and resource management terms, this event rewards brainy gameplay over brute force. Choose your shells well; aim with purpose, then shoot down your way to victory! Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Honkai Star Rail 3.5 livestream schedule and what to expect
Image via:HoYoverse Currently, with the second phase of version 3.4 in progress for Honkai Star Rail, the whole world of Trailblazer has quickly switched its interest to the 'what next.' The highly anticipated version 3.5 livestream is just around the corner; if HoYoverse plays its old game, then August 1, 2025, should be the date of broadcast. This upcoming broadcast will definitely not be any promotional video. It is rather huge, a special program offering an early glimpse of what they have planned for the next patch. For new characters and limited-time events, let's get into what we know (and guess about) the Honkai Star Rail 3.5 livestream. Livestream Timely Expectation With an unwavering commitment to its fast-paced updates, HoYoverse has so far maintained great consistency, running livestreams usually about a week prior to the patch release. Now, with phase two of 3.4 having just kicked in, fans can reasonably expect to see the 3.5 stream drop on August 1 in line with the pre-patch reveal schedule of the company. Although the very time of the livestream is yet to be officially confirmed, the previous records considered were: 7:30 PM CST (China Standard Time) 1:30 PM CEST (Central European Summer Time) NEW UPDATE! EVERYTHING IN PATCH 3.5 FULL LEAKED | Banners, Free Pulls, Rewards - Honkai: Star Rail New Characters: Hysilens and Cerydra Take the Spotlight Arguably, the biggest pull toward 3.5 iteration is the arrival of two dearly awaited 5-star characters-Hysilens and Cerydra. While HoYoverse is still keeping their full kits locked away, some speculations and product teases have suggested the following: Hysilens could be fun to play as a support-DPS combo, perhaps abusing high-speed mechanics or elemental debuffs. Cerydra looks to be a huge AoE damage dealer with some crowd control, leading to comparisons with Kafka from earlier leaks. The livestream may feature: Skill showcases + animation Voice actor reveals + lore tidbits Team synergy, builds, etc Beyond Characters: What Else to Expect In its formative stages, 3.5 promises to be something much bigger than a mere banner refresh. Going by HoYoverse's typical rolling content pattern, the livestream is likely to include: Official Trailer : A cinematic introduction that will provide a glimpse into the narrative and themes of 3.5, with possible hints at a major conflict or a newly unlocked region. New Trailblaze Mission : Continues the main storyline, probably with new characters and bosses. HSR 3.5 CONFIRMED BANNERS ROADMAP + RERUNS | Honkai Star Rail, Cerydra, Cerydra HSR, Hysilens HSR Events Preview: Limited-time Fallout. In-game mini-games. Exclusive 4 stars and their Light Cones. The usual three livestream codes will drop Stellar Jades, credits, and ascension materials. For long-time players and newbies alike, 3.5 might mark the start of an entirely new narrative arc or region expansion. With the back-to-back release of highly sought-after characters, HoYoverse seems to be upping their content creation against other major gacha titles. To sum it up, the livestream is going to lay out the roadmap for where the game heads next. And, with the hype around Hysilens and Cerydra quickly building, all eyes are now on August 1. Stay tuned, Trailblazers. The stars are aligning. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
