It's been a bust couple of months for the popular live service title, Genshin Impact. MiHoYo's open world adventure title continues to add new content to the game, including a brand new region called Inazuma which arrived earlier this summer. The landmass is inspired by the real life country of Japan, and for players how have reached Adventure Rank 30 or above, the area is chock full of things to do, places to explore, and quests to complete.

Since the massive 2.0 update, Genshin Impact has continued to deliver new content including a crossover event with Guerrilla Game's franchise, Horizon: Zero Dawn. Along with Aloy joining Genshin Impact as a playable hero, the 2.1 update also brought along new events, activities, and four new heros with one of them being Baal, the powerful Inazuma Electro Archon. Now, the title is preparing for the arrival of the next big 5 star character and Baal's rival, Sangonomiya Kokomi.

The latest teaser trailer for Genshin Impact gives fans their first major look at the resistance general who originates from Watatsumi Island. While she may not look like it, Kokomi is a tactics specialist while also serving as the island's Divine Priestess. The trailer highlights her young age and the doubts that she is ready for such a responsibility, though she is clearly skilled in the art of war, issuing directives and tactical commands to win the Vision Hunt Decree war.

In addition to the teaser trailer, MiHoYo also released more information on Kokomi's abilities and powers ahead of her official launch on September 21, 2021. Kokomi is primarily a support character, capable of using hydro-based skills to help heal her allies.

  • Elemental Skill: Kurage's Oath. This summons a Bake-Kurage which heals allies at fixed intervals based on Kokomi's max HP, while also applying the Wet status to her. In addition, Bake-Kurage does Hydro damage to surrounding opponents.
  • Elemental Burst: Nereid's Ascension. Deals Hydro DMG to surrounding enemies and robes Kokomi in a Ceremonial Garment. While wearing the garment, Kokomi's damage increases based on her Max HP, she steals life for her allies, becomes resistant to interruption, and can move on the water's surface. These effects disappear when Kokomi leaves the field.

With Kokomi representing the opposing faction to the recently released Raiden Shogun, it'll be interesting to see where MiHoYo takes the story now that both characters are available for players to add to the rapidly expanding roster. Fans who have unlocked Baal have already seen that she is a formidable character, able to fill both the support and burst DPS roles thanks to her electro abilities and polearm weaponry.

Genshin Impact is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version in development.
