Genshin Impact's Upcoming Hydro Character Aino Officially Revealed
2025-07-29 21:24:25The world of Teyvat continues to expand as HoYoverse drops another exciting character reveal for Genshin Impact. Through the latest promotional trailer for five-star character Ineffa, eagle-eyed fans have spotted crucial details about another upcoming playable character - Aino, who has now been confirmed to wield Hydro powers.
This revelation comes as Genshin Impact prepares for its massive Version 6.0 update, which will introduce the highly anticipated Nod-Krai region. The new area promises fresh exploration content and several character additions to the ever-growing roster of playable heroes.
The character showcase video titled "Ineffa: Essentials for Home and Travel" contained brief but significant appearances by Aino, where her Hydro Vision was clearly visible. Community speculation suggests she'll serve as a four-star support character, potentially creating powerful synergy with the Electro-based Ineffa through Electro-Charged reactions.
Current lore reveals Aino works at the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop in the forthcoming Nod-Krai region. This geographical connection has led many to believe she'll play a role in introducing players to the new area, similar to how previous characters have anchored regional storylines.
The trailer also reignited excitement for other long-awaited characters, including Varka, the missing Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, and the enigmatic mage Alice. Their appearances in the "Moonlit Ballad of the Night" cinematic suggest significant involvement in upcoming narrative developments.
