New Gacha Characters: Baizhu & Kaveh

The first playable male character with glasses, Baizhu, assisted by his trusty snake Chengsheng is a 5-Star Dendro catalyst user whose kit aptly revolves around healing. Baizhu can periodically generate a Seamless Shield for your party members with healing effects. Certain reaction DMG dealt by the characters who are healed by Seamless Shields will be increased.

You’ve probably come across Kaveh through your playthrough before but now he’s a playable character. He’s a Dendro claymore user that utilises his toolbox Mehrak.

Mehrak’s mapping ability can also be used for offensive purposes, dealing Dendro DMG. Besides enhancing Kaveh’s combat abilities, it is also capable of causing all Dendro Cores within a certain Ao to burst immediately.

New Area

Version 3.6 will also introduce a new desert area located Northwest in the Desert of Hadramaveth where The Recollector’s Path event will take place.

New Weekly Boss – Apep

The Dragon of Verger, Apep once ruled over Sumeru and used to be emerald green but has since fallen ill and is now a gloomy yellow. This new weekly boss will work a bit differently from others as the second phase will actually require you to protect the Apep from other monsters so be ready for that.
