Genshin Impact: Leaks Hint at Navia’s Element

The world of Genshin Impact is abuzz with anticipation as leaks suggest that Navia, a new character set to debut in the Fontaine Chapter, will be a Geo element character.

The Excitement Surrounding Fontaine

As the release of the Fontaine Chapter in Genshin Impact draws closer, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting more details. The upcoming developer livestream on June 23 is expected to provide a sneak peek into the new chapter and the Version 3.8 update.

This update will see the return of popular characters Eula and Klee, offering players another chance to acquire these characters before the spotlight shifts to the Fontaine cast.

The New Characters in Fontaine

While there are conflicting leaks about the exact number of new characters to be introduced in Fontaine, players have a fairly clear picture of most of the upcoming additions.

Besides the Hydro Archon, players can look forward to meeting Neuvilette and Wriothesley, who are expected to feature in a Genshin Impact banner soon. Interestingly, Neuvilette is rumored to be a 5-Star Hydro Catalyst, a first for male characters in the game.

Navia: The Blonde Woman

Navia, also known as “the blonde woman” among leakers, is another exciting addition to the Fontaine cast. While her concept art was leaked early, her element, weapon, and abilities have remained largely speculative. However, Mero, a well-known Genshin Impact leaker, has suggested that Navia will be a 5-Star Geo character. This has led players to hope for a renaissance of the Geo element in Genshin Impact.

While leaks can provide exciting insights, it’s important to remember that they can be misinterpreted or changed during the development process. Recent leaks suggest that the Fontaine characters’ banner placements have been shuffled around, with the Cryo Polearm character Wriothesley possibly no longer being a Standard Banner addition.

According to Hutao Lover, Version 4.1 will feature a strong man on the Limited Banner, potentially pointing to either Wriothesley or Neuvilette. This could mean that Navia might be the first Geo 5-Star on the Standard Banner in Genshin Impact.

The Potential Impact of Navia’s Geo Abilities

While the Dendro element transformed the Genshin Impact meta with its complex elemental reactions, Fontaine is expected to focus on the Hydro element, which is already powerful due to the abilities and synergies of characters like Yelan and Nilou.

With the Hydro theme of the Chapter, Navia’s Geo abilities could potentially synergize with other Hydro characters beyond Crystallize.
