Genshin Impact has officially released its recent drip marketing, revealing new characters that will debut in the upcoming patch update. Based on the official announcements, Alhaitham has been confirmed to debut in patch 3.4 banners. The 5-star Dendro character will be featured in Phase I banners and will use Sword weapons to deal damage.
