MiHoYo, the creator of Genshin Effect, has revealed more information about the latest weapons and events that will be included in the game’s 1.4 update. On March 17, 2021, Genshin Impact will receive its newest major update, which will include the addition of Rosaria to the game’s roster as well as the return of Venti and Tartaglia as characters that players can be summoned via their respective Event Wish banners.
The 1.4 update for Genshin Impact will feature another big in-game festival, similar to the Lantern Rite Festival from the 1.3 update, except this time in Mondstadt rather than Liyue. Players will be able to receive event-exclusive prizes by engaging in many in-game events during the Windblume Festival. With the recent Hangout Events, the 1.4 update also adds its own in-game dating sim, which will be available even after the Windblume Festival is over.
MiHoYo revealed some new information about the new weapons and events coming with the 1.4 update this week. The Windblume Ode bow, an event-exclusive bow that grants characters more attack for a limited period while they use their elemental abilities, is the latest weapon that players will obtain by playing in the Windblume Festival games.
Aside from the Windblume Ode, the 1.4 update will also include the latest Epitome Invocation weapon event banner, including brand-new weapons such as the Elegy for the End, The Alley Flash, and Wine and Song.
The final 5-star bow Elegy of the End will be included in the new arms banner. When triggered, the new bow would improve the character’s elemental superiority and attack greatly. When a player strikes an enemy with a regular attack, the new 4-star Wine and Song catalyst lowers the amount of stamina sprinting absorbs while simultaneously increasing the character’s attack for a few seconds. Finally, The Alley Flash is a 4-star sword that enhances the player’s damage when the blade is equipped, but the effect is removed when the character takes damage.
Another new bow, the Alley Hunter, is due to be unveiled through the 1.4 update, but it will appear in a future arms banner, according to miHoYo, and no specifics on it have been posted yet. The Skyward Blade will also be included in the new arms flag, giving anyone who lost the first time around a greater shot this time.
The latest 5-star Elegy of the End is the most surprising of the new weapons, as it seems to have been designed especially for Venti. Since his Elemental Burst hits enemies several times in a row, it will be effortless to trigger the weapon’s effect. Those attempting to summon Venti with the Genshin Effect bow can also aim to pull the End bow’s Elegy during the event.
