5 new features of Genshin Impact 5.7 update

1) New permanent event: Stygian Onslaught

Stygian Onslaught is a new endgame mode that will be introduced with version 5.7. The developers announced that players could farm artifacts efficiently with this new game mode. It will also offer rewards like Primogems, Mora, Hero's Wit, and Dust of Enlightenment.

This endgame mode features six distinct stages that players can participate in. Moreover, they must build numerous characters to fight against the bosses in these stages.

2) Dust of Enlightenment item

Dust of Enlightenment is a new item players can obtain after completing all challenges in the new Stygian Onslaught gamemode. The developers announced that players could claim two of these items from their mailboxes after logging in during version 5.7.

Players can use the Dust of Enlightenment to reroll some of their level 20 5-star artifacts. Furthermore, they can select up to two substats, which they are also guaranteed to roll twice. Fans are pleased, as this is a significant change, and they can potentially reroll some of their worst artifacts.

3) Artifact loadouts

HoYoverse announced in the Developer's Discussion that they would add artifact loadouts in version 5.7. Fans have been requesting this feature for years, and it appears that we may finally see it implemented in the upcoming update. However, we do not fully know how these loadouts would work.

The developers only showed a small glimpse of this feature during the Developer's Discussion. They did not discuss the details regarding the artifact loadouts during the version 5.7 live stream. For that, we will likely have to wait till this version drops.

4) Rewards claiming UI change

Starting from version 5.7, players can use Fragile and Transient resin to claim rewards in domains and ley lines. Furthermore, they can claim rewards equal to three times the normal amount if they use Fragile or Transient resin.

This is a massive change, as previously, players could only claim rewards with regular or Condensed Resin. Furthermore, they could only keep five Condensed Resin in their inventory, limiting the number of domain or leyline runs they could complete in a stretch.

5) Quest Resource Management for Mobiles

Although this feature is only for mobile players, it is still a significant change, as it gradually reduces the space required for players to play Genshin Impact. Furthermore, one can choose to download either the Full or Basic Resources during version updates.

If they select the latter, the assets for the Archon, Story Quests, and Hangouts will not be downloaded automatically. Players must download these resources manually to start any of these quests.
