This world is noisy and pale. Time goes too fast, like a run without an end. You and I are thrown into some realities where we can’t see the direction clearly, eager to escape, but afraid to really let go. At this time, some things are quietly approaching in your long loneliness, like wind, like dreams, like the character that will be released in version 5.4 of the game called Genshin Impact – Dreaming of Moon Ruixi.
She is a girl with a dream in her name. Dreaming. Moon. Ruixi. Like some kind of signal that does not belong to the waking world.
When we are on the journey of Nata, burning with flames and ashes, surrounded by images of war, those too real voices make people numb. At this time, you will suddenly think of Inazuma. That country far away on the sea, the humid air, the purple thunder and lightning and the quiet streets, everything seems to be saying to you: “Come back.”
Version 5.4 is an invitation to go back. You think it is a game, but it is actually the pusher of fate, pulling you out of one role after another, and finally pushing you in front of her – Dreaming of Moon Ruixi.
She is a five-star magic weapon character of the wind element. Wind has no shape, but it is always there. Just like emotions. She is not the kind of character that forces you to face. She is very quiet, but she cannot be ignored. Her fighting method is not a sharp attack, but a entangled intervention. Her elemental combat skills put her in a dream-drifting state. She floats in the air, like a dream that you can’t let go of in the middle of the night. She is above, overlooking the world, and then releases wind element damage in a regular and slow way.
She is not a sharp warrior, nor a calm manipulator. She is an existence from another dimension, light, ethereal, but real. She treats you not to make you stronger, but to tell you: It’s okay, you can stop for a while.
Her elemental burst is a more hidden sadness. It pulls the surrounding enemies and objects closer, and then releases them all at once like the sudden collapse in life. The explosion of wind is not destruction, but a release of emotions. She created “Dream Wind Special Snacks”, a name that is even a little cute and out of place, but it can explode and hurt the enemy when the picker’s health is high, and heal when it is low. This is like reality, you can’t plan its logic, you can only accept its arrival.
Beside her is Sigwen. Water element, bow and arrow. She is also a quiet character, even more restrained than Ruixi. She is like someone you don’t want to mention in your memory, the more you forbear, the deeper you are.
Together, they form the protagonists of the first half of the 5.4 card pool.
And after that, it is Fu Nina and Leosli. The former is a one-handed sword of the water element, and the latter is an ice element magic weapon. You have seen them in the story, and they come back, not to repeat, but to complete. Some relationships can only be seen clearly after time has gone by.
The weapons at this stage include “The Brilliance of Still Water Flow” and “Golden Flow Supervisor”, which are like gifts you receive at a special node in reality, silent, cold light, but remembered when you need it most.
In the 5.4 special program, seven silhouettes appeared. Each one is an unfinished outline, just like we don’t have the ability to fully describe our own lives. Ruixi was confirmed to be the third from the right. She walked out of the silhouette and became the first newcomer to appear in this update.
I don’t think she will say much. Her silence is reassuring. She is not like the protagonist, but she can make you stay for her.
In reality, we consume our attention and patience every day. In fragmented time, we are reminded again and again what to do and what not to do. But in this updated version, you can stop. You can decide whether to draw a card or not, and you can decide whether to move forward. Even if you don’t participate, no one will blame you.
Treabar is a channel you can rely on in this process. Deposit, resources, they sound like part of the strategy, but sometimes, they are also a certain degree of comfort. You know you still have the ability, you know you still have the possibility.
Ruixi is not someone’s savior, nor is she a must-have character. She is just a character who appears in the gap of your life, reminding you of things you have forgotten, such as wind, dreams, and wishes you once whispered in the middle of the night.
Perhaps we all need someone like her. Not for winning, not for being strong, but for having a wind outlet to approach in this overly sharp world, a place where you can float quietly.
