Genshin Impact 5.3 Version Brings A Lot Of New Content - New Characters, Banners And More

It is expected that Genshin Impact version 5.3 will be launched in a week. The new version will launch new characters, new activities, new weapons and new costumes. At the same time, old characters will be re-launched so that players who missed it can replenish their character pool.

New Characters And Wish Banners

Genshin Impact 5.3 Version Brings A Lot Of New Content - New Characters, Banners And More

The first set of wish banners will launch two new limited five-star characters, Pyro Archon Mavuika, and Citlali. Before this, there was no version that launched two limited five-star characters at the same time. This is the first time. In the first stage of version 5.3, Mavuika and Citlali will be launched one after another, without re-run characters. In the second stage of version 5.3, two re-run limited five-star characters will be launched. They are Arlecchino and Clorinde.

Arlecchino is a character who can cause very large fire damage, and Clorinde is a powerful electric character and very attractive. For players who don’t have enough Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals, choosing to get new version characters or replenishing characters from previous versions may be a painful choice.

This banner will also allow you to get a new four-star character: Lan Yan. Lan Yan is from Chenyu Vale, and she mainly relies on moving quickly on the battlefield and swirling elements to fight. She can also provide shields for other characters in the team, making her a versatile character. Players will get to know her better in Lantern Rite.

In addition, the development team also confirmed that the protagonist will get the fire element in 5.3. Because in Natlan, the protagonist did not get a new element after interacting with the statue, which has not happened in other regions. Players seem to be able to enhance the newly obtained element by completing other tasks in Natlan.

New Chronicled Wish Banners

In addition to the two new banners above, Genshin Impact 5.3 will also launch Chronicled Wish. Although the specific date of Chronicled Wish has not been announced, the character has been announced. For most players, the biggest surprise is the fateful return of Shenhe and Ganyu. They have not appeared in limited banner reruns for a long time.

Shenhe last appeared in version 3.5, and Ganyu last appeared in the banner in version 3.6. This means that players will not have a chance to get them again with more than 30 banners.

Chronicled Wish was originally designed to accommodate characters, although they had already received multiple reruns. However, the developers decided to make an exception for Shenhe, because she has only been rerun once since her release, and many players have been hoping to get this character.

In addition, Chronicled Wish will also bring players numerous five-star weapons for players to wish for.

Natlan Story Updates

Natlan Archon's quest may come to an end in version 5.3. Players will join forces with Mavuika to repel Abyss’ incursion. The details of the story have not been revealed, but it may end with a fight against Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. This monster will become a weekly boss.

New Events And Character Skins

The annual Lantern Rite will be launched in version 5.3. Lantern Rite will bring many changes to the decorations of the entire game world, and players can also get many Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals through the new Lantern Rite event.

At the same time, both Hu Tao and Xiangling can change new outfits. Xiangling’s outfit can be obtained for free through the event, while Hu Tao’s outfit is discounted in the store.

In addition to Xiangling’s outfit, players can also get a free four-star character in Liyue region in Lantern Rite (players can use this event to claim Lan Yan). Gamers on PlayStation, Mobile and PC will also be able to get a pair of new wings. This wing was previously available to Xbox players.

Lantern Rite will bring players many mini-games as always, including some puzzle mini-games and combat trials. Players can obtain materials and Genesis Crystals. At the same time, players can interact with multiple playable characters.

New Quality-Of-Life

New Quality-of-Life will be launched in version 5.3, which makes it easier for players to cultivate their characters. During Overflowing event, players can get the materials they want instead of waiting for a specific day. At the same time, during the event, the drop rate of character talent materials and weapon upgrade materials will be doubled. But this will still depend on the daily rotation of each region.

After version 5.3, world bosses (also known as 40-resin bosses) will spawn immediately after players claim materials. Players no longer need to teleport to another place and come back for these bosses to spawn. This allows players to obtain boss materials faster.

In addition, the upper limit of players’ artifact storage cap will also be increased, which is good news for players who repeatedly go to dungeons to get perfect artifact rolls.

Version 5.3 will bring a lot of new content to players. From new characters to optimizations to game systems, there is also a rich Lantern Rite, which will definitely attract some old players to return. (Of course, the most important thing is the ten free wishes) Genshin Impact players may feel very fulfilled in the first month of 2025.

How To Level Up Faster For Witch In Path Of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 2 provides players with numerous class choices and gives players a lot of freedom in building characters. This also makes some players confused about how to better choose to upgrade characters.

But fortunately, if you keep learning and trying, you will find that your build will be more flexible.

How To Level Up Faster For Witch In Path Of Exile 2?

Given the variety of options provided by the developers for players, you will definitely be curious to test what happens when the same character is equipped with different skills and passive skills.

Then we have to mention Passive skill trees. If you see Passive skill trees for the first time, you will definitely be a little overwhelmed. Because it has a lot of passive skills, and there are many passive skills that you can upgrade.

However, after you have a deeper understanding, players will find that this is a very simple passive skills tree. Because no matter what class the player chooses, the passive skills tree will provide you with many options and allow you to play freely.

Witch is a powerful class in POE 2. If you are interested in this class, then you must not miss the following content, which can help you upgrade Witch faster.

Witch Passive Skill Tree

Witch is a class that excels at using spells to deal physical and chaos damage to enemies. So, when you want to level up your class, you need to focus on any passive skills that can upgrade spell, physical, and chaos damage.

In addition, since this class mainly relies on spells to deal critical hits, you also need to upgrade spell critical chance and damage when you level up your skills to increase your spell damage value.

If you are currently in the early stages of Witch, it is recommended that you make sure to upgrade physical and critical damage first to increase the damage of Bonestorm spell. This is probably the best way to level up Witch in the early stages.

First, you can use Raw Destruction skill, which can help you increase your spell damage by 16%. Then, you can break down your casting skill targets into Jagged Shards and Practiced Signs to better increase your casting speed and spell critical hit effect, causing more physical damage to enemies.

In addition, if you want to further enhance the spell critical hit ability of Witch, you can progress up Practiced Signs path until you reach Critical Overload. Of course, you can also choose to take the shortcut on the right and upgrade Potent Incantation skill to upgrade spell damage.

However, if you want to increase spell crit and cast speed, it is recommended that players choose the real upward path and upgrade Sudden Escalation.

Because this will allow your Bonestorm spell to deal a lot of damage to enemies, helping you kill enemies faster and win POE2 Currency rewards.

Of course, you can also continue to use passive skills such as Cut Bones, Blood Tearing, and Shredding Force to help you upgrade more physical and critical strikes.

The Best Damage Skills For Witch

For early stage Witch, Contagion and Bone Cage are the strongest damage output skills. Contagion will cause enemies to receive DoT chaos damage.

POE 2 Bone Cage

And when enemies die, this damage will spread among them to hurt more enemies. Soon, players will find that the entire enemy team will be infected with Contagion and they will attack you painfully. At this time, it will be easier to kill them and win.

Bone Cage is more suitable for melee combat. It can not only prevent enemies from getting close to the player but also cause some effective damage to the enemy. Bone Cage will cause physical damage to the enemy when it hits a critical hit, which is very consistent with the character attributes you build through the passive skill tree.

When the player reaches level 7 skill, it is recommended that you give priority to Bonestorm. Because this skill is the core damage output skill in Witch build.

Although it takes a certain amount of time to cast the skill, once the player releases the skill, the enemy will be torn into pieces, which has extremely strong damage.

If you are facing a boss at this time, Bonestorm can help you kill the enemy faster, because it only takes four or five times to defeat the enemy.

Similarly, if you want to summon more Bone Spikes when releasing the skill, it is recommended that you can upgrade the casting speed in the passive skill tree to achieve it.

Of course, Bonestorm can also cause critical hits and physical damage, which makes it one of the skills that cannot be obtained in build Witch.

If you have unlocked Bonestorm, because you have better spells, Contagion will slowly disappear. But don’t worry, in the late game, you can unlock Dark Effigy to create a totem that casts chaos damage on enemies that have been infected by Contagion.

This is the most useful spell among Witch's many skills. Because it can cast critical hits continuously and has no cooldown limit. This also allows players to cause more damage to enemies when casting critical hits.

And this chaos spell does not affect your build because it takes 2 to 3 seconds to set up and run automatically.

Finally, for a class whose core skill is damage output, adding a curse that allows players to ignore enemy armor is very necessary.

Of course, you can also choose to add random affixes through POE 2 Exalted Orb to enhance your rare equipment and increase your chances of killing bosses.

In addition, upgrading Vulnerability can help you maintain your ability for a few seconds, and in these few seconds, you can cast at least 2 Bonestorm spells.

For additional skills, it is recommended that you consider Raise Zombies and Skeletal Warriors. Because when you cast other spells, it often takes some time.

During this time, you are very vulnerable. Therefore, you need to get some defensive minions to help you hold your ground. They will chase the enemies away, and the scene will become a battle scene instead of just running around shooting dead enemies.

Some Important Attributes Of Witch

As we all know, Intelligence is the core attribute of Witch. Because the class needs it to play Wands and Sceptres and unlock more spells. And the profession is very dependent on mana, and Intelligence is the attribute that increases mana.

At the beginning of the game, you need about 20 Intelligence points to unlock the skills and equipment of Witch.

When you reach Act 2, which is the middle stage of the game, you need to increase Intelligence to about 55. At this stage, you can use many Uncut Skill Gems in the game.

Finally, you need to reach about 120 Intelligence to unlock all the game content related to Witch.

The second most important attribute for Witch is Strength. Because it can help you improve your vitality and help you increase your combat time.

In addition, many auxiliary gems of Witch require corresponding Strength or Intelligence points to be opened. So Strength is more important than Dexterity, which most people choose.

In order to protect Witch well when casting skills, it is recommended that you use Meat Shield and Last Gasp for your followers to enhance their stamina and provide you with enough time to cast skills.

The above is what you need to pay attention to when upgrading Witch. If you want to upgrade Witch faster, you can try these tips!
