“It gives off a soft, etheral vibe. Our Yaoyao’s looking a bit like an Adeptus now! And here’s a little secret: That little basket on Yaoyao’s shoulder was woven by Qiqi herself,” the Genshin Impact developers further revealed during the livestream.
Yaoyao is a gentle Dendro healer from Liyue, known for her caring nature and strong ties to the land. She wields a polearm and uses her Dendro abilities to support her team, healing allies while applying elemental reactions in battle. Her playful personality and adorable design make her a standout addition to any roster.
Qiqi, the maker of the woven basket, is a fellow Cryo sword-wielder from Liyue. She is a young zombie who works as an apprentice and herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy. Also a healer, she is a 5-star character featured on the permanent banner.
Genshin Impact Luna IV Version 6.3 goes live on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 and concludes on February 24, 2026.
