Genshin Impact 3.5: Redemption codes, banners, events, and more

HoYoverse made several major and minor announcements during the livestream for version 3.5. This includes banners and events in the upcoming patch. Moreover, they also offered redemption codes as well as information regarding certain quests.

Redemption codes

As always, HoYoverse has released redemption codes for players to earn several rewards, including the much-valued Primogems.

The ones that were offered are as follows:

KARU3RG6NY65 (100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ores)
5SRC28YNNYP9 (100 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit)
SB8UJ9H7NH8V (100 Primogems, 50000 Mora)

Banners, characters, and weapons

In the first phase of version 3.5 of Genshin Impact, Dehya will make her debut as a Pyro Claymore wielder. During her banner time, which she will share with Cyno, players will have the opportunity to obtain her. It is worth mentioning that the latter character is making a reappearance after only four patches since his initial release.

Furthermore, Dehya will be included in the Standard Banner from Genshin Impact 3.6 onwards, making her the second five-star Pyro character available in the game's permanent pool alongside Diluc. This means that even after her banner period ends, players will still be able to obtain her by using the wishes they acquire in-game.

This addition to the permanent pool provides another opportunity for gamers to acquire a Pyro character, which can be useful in many in-game situations.

In the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.5, players will have the chance to obtain Shenhe during her long-awaited first rerun banner, which will be joined by Kamisato Ayaka, who will also be making a comeback after almost a year. Both these characters are five-star Cryo entities that are highly sought after due to their unique abilities and appearances.

Moreover, players can also look forward to the four-star Cryo Mika, a polearm bearer. With his arrival, players will have yet another powerful character of this element at their disposal, who can also be useful in exploration.

Overall, the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.5 is expected to be an exciting one for players, as it will introduce or bring back a range of popular and highly desired characters. Whether gamers are looking to round out their team with a powerful Cryo entity or simply expand their collection, the upcoming patches will offer plenty of opportunities to do both.

Archon and story quests

Additionally, a new story Quest for Dehya will be made available, along with a Hangout Series for Faruzan.

Windblume Festival, and other events

The upcoming Genshin Impact patch, as indicated by its official title Windblume's Breath, is set to commemorate the second edition of the Windblume Festival - one of the most significant events in Mondstadt. Notably, its rewards will include a new free four-star Claymore, along with a lot of Primogems, which players can acquire by participating in the festivities.

Lastly, the Special Program announced that all players will receive one free Intertwined Fate for each Archon Quest they complete, which can be exchanged through the game's Adventure Book feature. This will apply to all old Archon missions completed by gamers, as well as the upcoming ones. The addition of this feature will surely delight several old and new Genshin Impact players.
