Genshin Impact drip marketing reveals Cyno, Nilou, and Candace for 3.1 banners
Genshin Impact's developers tend to release information about upcoming characters simultaneously with the global release of new version updates. With patch 3.0 scheduled to launch on August 24, 2022, the community expected the drip marketing posts to be released on the same day.
To everyone's surprise, official channels have released drip marketing early this time around. The latest drip marketing posts revealed three new characters from Sumeru who will most likely debut in the patch 3.1 banners. Based on the official announcements made during the 3.0 livestream, the first half of patch 3.1 banners are expected to drop on September 28, 2022.
Cyno
Cyno was one of the early characters who was teased alongside Ayaka and many others when Genshin Impact was released. Finally, the drip marketing of Cyno has been released, and fans are officially getting to know more about him.
In Sumeru, Cyno is also called the Great Mahamatra by the folks. Great Mahamatra is a high-ranking position in the Secret Judgement Academy. Personality-wise, many refer to him as an impressive man with a unique sense of humor.
Cyno will be a 5-star Electro character from Sumeru with mastery over polearm weapons. Based on previous leaks, Cyno will take on the DPS role in future Genshin Impact teams.
Nilou
In a nation where knowledge and wisdom are of utmost importance, Nilou is someone who chooses to pursue the art of dance. Popularly known as the Star of Zubayr Theater, Nilou will be the next 5-star Hydro character from Sumeru.
Previous leaks have revealed that Nilou will use sword weapons, and the kit allows her to infuse Hydro into her normal attacks. The leaked kit has shown promising potential for Nilou as a burst damage dealer in Genshin Impact.
The Sumeru teasers have already shown that Nilou will be a part of the upcoming Archon Quests. Players will meet Nilou in the patch 3.0 update before she becomes playable in patch 3.1 banners.
Candace
Fans are excited to finally get an official look at Candace, who has been teased in Genshin Impact leaks for several months now. Although reliable sources have already described her character design, fans aren't shying away from expressing excitement over her drip marketing.
Based on drip marketing posts, Candace has been described as the true descendant of King Deshret. She has also been referred to as the guardian of the Aaru village. Leaks have already revealed her to be a 4-star polearm user.
The early drip marketing posts have hyped up the fans for future characters. Hopefully, future leaks and announcements will reveal more details about their skills and passive talents.
