The sheer outflow of new Genshin Impact leaks continues. This time, seven characters from Sumeru have had their models leaked. The seven characters can be seen in the above image, and their names are as follows (from left to right):

  • Tighnari
  • Collei
  • Dehya
  • Al-Haitham
  • Nilou
  • Dori
  • Kusanali

Several of these Genshin Impact characters have already had their models leaked, while others, like Dehya and Nilou, have not been seen before. There were descriptions that matched their designs, but Travelers now have something more concrete to observe.


Genshin Impact Sumeru leaks: What you should know about the seven new character models

The above tweet shows off the fully leaked image for Genshin Impact players to analyze. It can be hard to keep up with the slew of new leaks, so the rest of this article will try to cover specific ones pertaining to each character.


1) Tighnari

The first character from Sumeru to discuss is Tighnari. This tweet shows off his official artwork, with other leaks mentioning that he is a five-star Dendro Bow user. He is one of three characters said to be playable in Genshin Impact 3.0.


2) Collei

Collei was a character who originated in the official manga and eventually departed for Sumeru by the end of her arc. Many players speculated that she would eventually become playable, with some new details surfacing online revealing her in-game model and splashart.

Some leaks also mentioned that she would have a companion-like creature similar to Baron Bunny, which players can now see is that little creature on the left side of the splashart. She is rumored to be a four-star Dendro Bow user and is expected to be playable in Genshin Impact 3.0.


3) Dehya

Dehya didn't get too many leaks until recently. Essentially, Genshin Impact players know that she is a tall, tanned woman, uses Pyro, and has cat ears. Based on that description, it would be logical to assume that the leaked model to the left of Al-Haitham is her.

Players also know that she uses a Claymore, although there isn't much else to discuss about her as of yet.


4) Al-Haitham

Some astute Genshin Impact players might remember all of the crumbs leading up to his full model leak. Travelers used to know him as the "Su-like character" and that he is a five-star Dendro user. These new leaks show off several different angles of his design, as well as his in-game model in some environments.


5) Nilou

Those interested in a succinct portion of Nilou's leaks should know the following:

  • She is a redhead
  • She has horns like Azhdaha
  • She uses Hydro

The first leaked image in this article shows a character who matches all three parts (the Hydro part is based on her Vision). Another leaker claimed she would be released around the time Cyno becomes playable.


6) Dori

Dori is a four-star Electro Claymore user who has been rumored to appear in Genshin Impact 3.0. Like the other leaked playable Sumeru characters from that update, her moveset has also been revealed (see below).


7) Kusanali

Kusanali is the Dendro Archon, making her a very important character in Sumeru. She is the last character model shown in the first leak of this article, making her the final one to discuss here. Many Travelers have voiced their displeasure with her design, particularly those who don't want the ruler of Sumeru to have pale skin.

Nonetheless, this leaked model matches the description of the earlier Sumeru leaks referencing her design.
