With the arrival of version 5.2 of Genshin Impact, brand-new characters and re-enacted classic characters have appeared together, adding more choices and strategies to players' adventures. This update not only brings rich plots and challenges, but also many up-characters worth looking forward to, allowing each player to plan the most appropriate extraction strategy according to their own needs and preferences.
In version 5.2, the up characters in the first half include the five-star wind element character Chaska, the reproduced five-star fire element character Linny, and the four-star thunder element character Olorun. The second half of the issue ushered in the reappearance of the five-star rock element character Zhongli, and the addition of the five-star water element character Navelle. Faced with such a variety of choices, players need to carefully weigh the utility of the character, the cost of extraction, and the composition of their team.
Chaska: As a new five-star wind element character, Chaska has unique aerial combat capabilities and is suitable for players who like to explore and run maps. However, if the player already has efficient running characters such as Yelan and Skirmishers, then Chaska's extraction priority can be appropriately lowered.
Linny: As a replica character, Linny is known for his charging bow fighting style. However, long-term charging may not be convenient enough for many players, and the positioning of its fire element main C appears to be repetitive on tracks with severe involution. Therefore, unless players particularly like Linny as a character or his fighting style, consider skipping it.
Navilite: Navilite is known for its powerful individual combat capabilities and continuous water element damage. He can cause a wide range of attacks on the enemy by charging heavy attacks, but it should be noted that Navellet, who has zero health, may be interrupted during the charging process. Therefore, qualified players can consider unlocking a life for it or deploying a shield auxiliary character to improve its survivability.
Zhongli: As the Shield King of Teyvat and the Support King of the Abyss, Zhongli is deeply loved by players for his reliable "Jade Barrier Shield" and ability to reduce enemy resistance. Its training cost is relatively low, and its extraction cost is not high. It is a character worthy of every player. For players who haven’t heard of Zhongli yet, this re-release is definitely an opportunity not to be missed.
When planning extraction strategies, players also need to consider subsequent version updates and character re-enactments. Especially the upcoming Vulcan character, whose powerful auxiliary abilities and versatility may become a core character in future versions. Therefore, when extracting the current version of characters, players need to reasonably allocate raw stone resources to ensure that enough extraction space is left for subsequent important characters.
To sum up, the up characters in Genshin Impact 5.2 version provide players with a variety of choices and challenges. When planning extraction strategies, players need to consider the character's practicality, extraction costs, and their own team composition and needs. I hope every player can find their own fun and achievements in the new version of the adventure!
