With the launch of Genshin Impact Version 4.6 rapidly approaching, Hoyoverse have begun their tradition of releasing drip marketing for the next version update, which has revealed that the next playable character people can look forward to rolling on in Genshin Impact 4.7 is the highly anticipated Champion Duelist of the Fontaine Court, Clorinde. Alongside Clorinde, Genshin Impact also released drip marketing for Sigewinne and Sethos, confirming that we will be getting three new playable units in 4.7.
As the first character revealed for 4.7, one of the most highly anticipated Fontanian characters, Clorinde is likely to be a 5-star Electro Sword unit, the third of her kind after Keqing and Kuki Shinobu. Furthermore, Clorinde’s drip marketing reveals her official title to be Candlebearer, Shadowhunter, and her Constellation is the Rapperia (which likely represents the rapier. Clorinde’s signature weapon).
One hope many have for Clorind is that her unmatched combat prowess as the Champion Duelist of the Fontaine Court will be integrated into her gameplay. We haven’t had a new female Electro main DPS in a long time, making Clorinde the perfect fit for that role. If we look at the drip marketing, the chance for that is rather high as Clorinde is clutching onto the handle of a rapier as well as a pistol, with the latter, in particular, giving us some useful insight into her kit.
Shadowhunter Clorinde
Clorinde is one of the final major Fontaine characters to become playable in Genshin Impact, with the other notable absentee being the Fortress of Meripede nurse, Sigewinne, who also received her own set of drip marketing today. She played a significant role in the Fontaine Archon Quest and has a deep personal connection with two of Fontaine’s other fan favourites, Navia and Wriothesley. Between her somewhat cold demeanour and the prestige from her position, Clorinde is a character with a lot of depth we haven’t yet seen.
The term drip marketing refers to the teasing of characters on social media before an official reveal of that character and their kit in an official Version Update Special Program. Genshin Impact, as well as all of Hoyoverse’s other major titles, usually release drip marketing for their characters a full version before they become playable. This is an extremely advantageous decision for players as it not only allows them to get excited about upcoming characters but also decide how they want to spend their Primogems in advance.
Genshin Impact Version 4.7 is due to release sometime in early June, with Version 4.6 arriving on April 24th.
