Genshin Impact 3.0 patch notes list all upcoming features
New region and characters
As per the patch notes, Sumeru will be partially unlocked for players. Here is a list of areas that players can explore in the patch 3.0 update:
- Avidya Forest
- Lokapala Jungle
- Ardravi Valley
- Ashavan Realm
- Vissudha Field
- Vanarana
Players will also encounter Tighnari, Collei, Dori, and many more through story quests. These new characters from Sumeru will debut in the patch 3.0 banners.
New elemental resonance
Patch 3.0 will introduce a new Dendro elemental resonance called the Sprawling Greenery. Dendro resonance can be activated when the party consists of at least two or more Dendro characters and will increase Elemental Mastery by 50.
When Burning, Quicken or Bloom reactions are triggered, all nearby party members will gain an additional 30 Elemental Mastery for 6 seconds. When Aggravate, Spread, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions are triggered, all nearby party members will gain 20 Elemental Mastery for the next 6 seconds.
Hydro and Electro resonance will also receive changes as part of the latest Genshin Impact patch. For Hydro resonance, "Soothing Water," the incoming healing effect, which is currently at 30%, will be replaced by 25%. Similarly, for Electro resonance, "High Voltage," Superconduct, Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Quicken, Aggravate, or Hyperbloom will have a 100% chance of generating an Electro Elemental Particle with a cooldown of five seconds.
New artifact changes
Fans may already know from the 3.0 livestream that Sumeru will introduce two new artifacts and several new domains. The new 3.0 patch notes explain the other quality-of-life changes made for artifacts.
With the introduction of Dendro in Genshin Impact, the Goblet of Eonothem artifact will add "Dendro DMG Bonus" to the primary attribute. Additionally, the drop rate of stats such HP%, DEF%, and ATK% on goblet artifact pieces have also been reduced. However, the drop rate of other primary attributes remains the same.
The new patch 3.0 will add new artifact strongboxes, allowing players to focus on spending their original and condensed resin on new Sumeru artifacts. Ten new artifact strongboxes will be added to the game.
Overall, the Sumeru update seems to be making tons of quality-of-life changes in Genshin Impact. There are only two days left before patch 3.0 is released globally, and the community is looking forward to taking advantage of all the new features mentioned in the patch notes.
