Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon of Inazuma, is finally playable in Genshin Impact version 2.1. Fans, especially those who collected Archon for their team, were ecstatic after the revelation.

Since the trailer of Genshin Impact 2.0, Sangonomiya Kokomi has been referred to as 'Princess' or 'Mermaid' by fans. In live stream 2.1, the nickname has also been used by the voice actors of Genshin Impact characters, praising how graceful Kokomi is.

She is a 5-star character with Hydro Vision and wields a catalyst.

After completing all the challenges, gamers will also obtain a new fish-theme claymore, 'Luxurious Sea-Lord.'
