HoYoverse has announced a series of updates aimed at improving character progression and resource management in Genshin Impact. The changes, set to debut in Version 5.4 on Feb. 12, 2025, were detailed in the latest Developer Discussion and focus on streamlining gameplay for both new and experienced players.
Among the updates are enhancements to the Training Guide, a revamped Level-Up Plan feature, and tools to simplify artifact farming and weapon optimization. These quality-of-life improvements are part of HoYoverse’s ongoing efforts to refine the free-to-play action RPG, which continues to evolve since its launch in 2020.
In version 5.4 five-star Inazuma character Mizuki debuts to the game’s roster. On top of that, the update brings Furina’s rerun banner, with reruns also coming for Sigewinne and Wriothesley.
Another feature in the upcoming update is the revamped Training Guide. HoYoverse has introduced a new Level-Up Plan feature. Players will now be able to set specific goals for gathering resources, with in-game notifications highlighting milestones along the way. This change aims to reduce guesswork, particularly for new players, making the leveling process more accessible.
HoYoverse is also addressing frustrations around the weapon and artifact optimization. The new Recommended Secondary Attributes tool will assist players in identifying the best weapons for their character builds. Meanwhile, a streamlined Auto Add function for weapon refinement will eliminate unnecessary manual input, saving time for players focused on upgrading their arsenal.
Artifact farming, a central aspect of Genshin Impact, receives a notable upgrade with the Sanctifying Elixir, though its full implementation won’t arrive until Version 5.5. This new system guarantees that two chosen sub-stats on an artifact will receive at least two upgrades when the artifact reaches level 20. This feature is designed to reduce wasted resources and ensure more predictable results in artifact rolls.
