Genshin Impact was one of the best games of 2020, whether on mobile, PC or consoles, and at the moment there is a Lost Riches event available for fans to enjoy. In addition to the aforementioned event, however, miHoYo has also released a trailer for the upcoming Ganyu. This has led to people asking when the Ganyu banner will come out, and here you will find what we know about the release date and skills of the upcoming playable character.
While update 1.2 has arrived as a premature Christmas present and will welcome the arrival of the blue-headed warrior, miHoYo’s roadmap for 2020 implies that update 1.3 will arrive sometime in February. We do not know much official information about the update, but leaks suggest that new playable characters will be Xiao and Hu Tao.
Xiao and Hu Tao will both be nice additions if true, but below you will find the release date for when the Ganyu banner will appear in Genshin Impact, and you will also find the character’s skills.
Genshin Impact Ganyu skills
Ganyu is a Cryo character in Genshin Impact with many skills at her disposal.
As another Cryo character in Genshin Impact, Ganyu wears a bow and he has a lot of skills up his sleeve that can be useful.
Her normal attack fires up to six fast arrows, and her loaded attack shoots a single precise arrow that is more powerful. It deals with Cryo damage on level 1, meanwhile it becomes a Frostflake arrow on level 2 to deal with even more Cryo damage.
As for a dive attack, she shoots a wave of arrows into the air, hitting the ground below and inflicting AoE damage.
In addition to the above, she also has the trial of the Qiln as an elementary skill. This causes Ganyu to move backwards leading to AoE Cryo damage plus an Ice Lotus.
This Ice Lotus attracts the attention of enemies, and it will flower and inflict more Cryo AoE damage if destroyed.
Another skill of Ganyu is Celestial Shower as an Elemental Burst. This causes Ganyu to make frostbite in the area that causes the emergence of an Ice Soul Gem.
This gem will make it rain with ice cubes, and it will cause severe Cryo damage during the duration of the Elemental Burst.
You can watch Ganyu’s skills in action on miHoYo’s character overivew, which also discusses her hobbies and story.
Genshin Impact Ganyu Banner Release Date
The issue date for the Ganyu banner in Genshin Impact is expected to be January 12.
According to the special program of MiHoYo’s version 1.2, the Ganyu banner will appear in mid-January, but she is expected to arrive on the 12th on this date, which is the end of the Albedo banner for Genshin Impact.
MiHoYo’s 1.2 notes for notes show that Albedo leaves on the above date, so the arrival of the blue-haired Liyue Qixing missionary must be on the same day.
