As the Genshin Impact Version 5.8 beta is ongoing, recent leaks from the latest V4 reveal several notable changes to characters, events, and achievements, most notably, nerfs to the newly introduced character Ineffa.
You can check out the original post on Reddit:
Ineffa Gets Hit With Nerfs
Despite being a strong new 5-star, Ineffa is seeing multiple nerfs in the current beta, which she did not really need:
- Constellation 2: AoE Electro DMG equal to 400% of Ineffa’s ATK reduced to only 300%
- Constellation 6: AoE Electro DMG equal to 200% of her ATK reduced to 135%
- Passive Talent 1 “Overclocking Circuit”: If there are thunderclouds nearby when Birgitta attacks, she will initiate an additional attack, dealing DMG equal to 80% of Ineffa’s ATK, now reduced to 65% only.
While these numbers look significant, they only affect players who unlock her constellations, so her base kit remains unchanged, at least for now. Outside of course the one passive, which only impacts Birgitta.
The chances are those nerfed were implemented in order to balance Ineffa around an upcoming Artifact set that will be added in 6.0 with Nod-Krai.
Sunspray Summer Resort, BP Missions, & Harder Achievements
A few general things were modified, such as:
- New battle Pass Missions were added
- During the Sunspray Summer Resort Event you will now need twice more points, going from 2000 to 4000
- 3 new Achievements are now twice to three times more difficult to obtain
- 1 new Achievement is now easier to obtain
Possible Banner Reruns in 5.8
Alongside Ineffa’s first banner, leaks suggest that Chasca, Mualani, and Citlali could all see reruns in Version 5.8. As for the 4-star characters, Fischl and Xingqiu are expected to be featured.
This information is still only from leaks, so take it with a grain of salt!
More adjustments are likely before the official 5.8 release, but for now, it looks like Ineffa’s power is being pulled in slightly and the summer event might require you a few more hours of grind.
