4.3 New Characters: Navia and Chevreuse
Naviais a 5-star Geo Claymore character. She appears to be a DPS who takes advantage of Crystallize reactions to increase her damage. Her Skill fires Geo projectiles in an area in front of her, and it appears you’re able to aim it to some degree. The damage depends on the number of Crystallize shards she picks up and how many projectiles hit her enemy. Using her Skill also infuses her Normal Attacks with Geo for a few seconds. Navia’s Burst summons several cannons that create a shower of Geo DMG in an AoE around her.
Chevreuseis a 4-star Pyro Polearm character. Chevreuse looks to be a healer support specializing in Overload teams. Her Skill fires a shot of Pyro damage. After firing her shot, Chevreuse will continuously heal the active character. Her Burst deals one instance of Pyro damage and summons several secondary explosive shells that detonate after a very short delay. If a party member triggers Overload, and her party members consist of only Pyro and Electro teammates, the enemy will have 40% reduced Pyro and Electro RES. This allows Chevreuse to replace a 4pc Viridescent Venerer holder in Overload teams, though she won’t be able to make up for the lack of crowd control.
Chiorimade an appearance in a surprise cameo. We don’t know her element or weapon yet, but we do know that she’s from Inazuma and owns a fashion boutique in Fontaine. She designed Navia’s outfit for her, so she clearly knows her way around Fontanian fashion. We didn’t get to see her Vision, but her clothes are primarily yellow, red, and brown, so she might be Pyro or Geo. Chiori won’t be playable in Version 4.3, but she will have a presence in the Version events.
4.3 Banners
The first half of 4.3 will feature the 5-starsNaviaandAyaka. They will likely be accompanied by their signature weapons: Verdict for Navia and Mistsplitter Reforged for Ayaka. Verdict is a new 5-star Claymore that looks like an axe.
The second half will featureRaidenandYoimiya, as well as 4-starChevreuse. Raiden’s signature Polearm is Engulfing Lightning, and Yoimiya’s signature Bow is Thundering Pulse. While these weapon reruns aren’t confirmed, I would consider them very likely.
4.3 Events
The flagship event for Version 4.3 is calledRoses and Musketsand will involve a series of minigames. These minigames are quite a mixed bag, ranging from a sniper sim, combat trials, herding balloons, and a shoot-your-own-film minigame. Event rewards will include an event-exclusive 4-star Claymore called Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword. With a name like that, it must really be something special.
Itto’s beetle-fighting game returns inArataki Blazing Armor Beetle Battle Boot Camp. Pit your Onikabuto beetle against ever-stronger opponents and see who comes out on top.
Lost Richesis coming to Fontaine with yet another treasure-seeking seelie. Visit various sites around Fontaine and follow the seelie to find treasure! As an added twist, this new seelie can swim underwater with you and is joining the roster of mini-seelie pets you can adopt as part of the event.
Dance of Resolute Willis a combat event. Battle through five stages with various teams. Each stage will confer different buffs that encourage different types of teams. Defeat as many opponents as you can before the time limit for the highest possible score!

All the major miscellaneous/quality of life additions fromGenshin Impact 4.3
Two new artifact sets are being introduced in Version 4.3: Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods and Song of Days Past. We have yet to see details on set bonuses, so we’ll have to wait for more news to see how they will work.
