Beach vacations are a long-standing tradition in anime, and Genshin Impact\u2019s Version 1.6 update is focusing on sandy beaches, blue skies, and pristine waters. Dubbed The Midsummer Island Adventure, developer MiHoYo has added a spread of event quests, items, costumes, and even a new character. There is plenty here for Genshin players to sink their teeth into like a juicy, salted watermelon. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the new content that\u2019s available today and the coming weeks:<\/p>\n

The bulk of playable content revolves around an archipelago of islands to explore with events that are only available for a limited time. This new story follows Klee, a member of the Knights of Favonious, who receives a message from someone called \u201cDodo-King,\u201d who aims to capture her prized companion, a keepsake from her mother she calls Dodoco.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

Eligibility for the new area requires the player be Adventure Rank 21 or above, and have completed Klee\u2019s Story Quest \u201cTrifolium Chapter: Act I \u2013 True Treasure,\u201d as well as the Archon Quest \u201cPrologue: Act III \u2013 Song of the Dragon and Freedom.\u201d\u00a0 Along this new four-part adventure, The Traveler will sail on a cannon-armed boat known as a Waverider and travel between a series of islands where danger and fun lurk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While tackling combat and races through a series of islands at sea and land, these new events will bring about new challenges such as an imposing enemy known as Maguu Kenki. This opponent wields multiple swords and can summon phantom enemies to join the fight. MiHoYo warns that it prefers close combat, so be prepared for an intimate melee.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

Since this is a trip to the beach, this new update brings along a few summer-themed threads for existing characters. Jean can sport her new \u201cSea Breeze Dandelion\u201d outfit when purchased for the discounted price of 1,350 Genesis Crystals (regular price is 1,680). This getup is permanently available in the shop. Barbara\u2019s \u201cSummertime Sparkle\u201d seasonal garb, on the other hand, can be purchased using the Island Adventure collectible Echoing Conches. Once the 1.6 update event ends, it will be obtainable in the shop for 1,680 Genesis Crystals.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

Along with the seafaring and dress-up, players can get their hands on the first playable character from the Inazuma nation. The silver-haired swordsman, Kaedahara Kazuha, is dressed in an intricate autumnal outfit with flowing sleeves and a dark red pants ballooning at the knees. Adorned with red and orange leaves, it\u2019s a bit out of sync with the summer theme running through this update. Wielding the Ameno element, Kazuha is described by MiHoYo as having a \u201cversatile combat style, but also provides buffs to his teammates under certain circumstances.\u201d He\u2019s able to push and pull enemies using the powers of the wind, and his Elemental Burst called \u201cKazuha Slash\u201d can do initial damage to multiple enemies and leaves a storm behind that causes even more harm over time. He won\u2019t be available right away, but will be available in a future Event Wish during the 1.6 update timeframe.<\/p>\n

Also in the Midsummer Island Event are chances to get the exclusive four-star catalyst Dodoco Tales, Northlander Biller Trove, and Furnishing Blueprints. All of these items and more can be obtained by trading Shiny Flotsam and Mini \u201cHarpasta” to a vendor. On top of that, Event Wish \u201cEpitome Invocation\u201d is happening until June 29. This includes increased drop rates on various weapons and catalysts. A small sample of the included drops are five-star claymore Skyward Pride, four-star event-exclusive bow Mitternachts Waltz, and four-star polearm Favonius Lance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

That\u2019s a ton of stuff, and there\u2019s even more to look forward to down the line including the \u201cLegend of the Vagabond Sword\u201d event running from June 25 to July 8. You can check out the patch notes for Update 1.6 with even more details here<\/a>. Remember, a lot of the content from this update is only available for a limited time, so get to adventuring as soon as you can. Good luck on all of your wishes, and enjoy Genshin\u2019s version of a summer vacation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
