When we immerse ourselves from the real world to the brilliant Teyvat continent of Genshin Impact, it seems that we have also entered a dream with countless possibilities. Every time the version is updated, the heartbeats of the players are synchronized with the rhythm of the game. This time, the arrival of version 5.1 brings a little warmth, a little expectation, and those familiar yet unfamiliar characters into our lives.
Sinoning is the rising star in this version. Her arrival is like a breeze, with the solidity of the rock system and the sharpness of the one-handed sword. Her appearance is not only to fill a small corner in the game world, but also more like the long-hidden expectation in our hearts is gently ignited. In the game’s card pool, Sinoning and Chizhi entered the first half, while the second half was played by Nashida and Walnut. They were once our dream partners. The reunion at this moment is like that distant summer appearing again in front of us.
Sometimes, the process of drawing cards is like a wait in life. We always pray for the “ideal” character to fly into our sight like a lucky star with light in the moment of holding our breath. The appearance of Sinoning is not only to strengthen the output of the rock element, but more for her softness and tenacity in battle. Although this rock-type one-handed sword character is new, she has been deeply rooted in our hearts and has become a gentle light. She can help teammates gain and weaken the enemy’s resistance. Every time she releases a skill, it seems to tell us: the most beautiful things in the world are often invisible, but through those subtle changes, they bring shock and touch.
Sinoning’s skill setting is like her personality, gentle but strong. She has the ability of “source sound sampling”, which can adjust the effect according to the elements of teammates, just like a musician, controlling different notes in her hands, playing the melody belonging to everyone. Her “leopard hunting rhythm” state is the moment when she releases her inner strength, just like a kitten suddenly becomes strong and powerful, bringing a strong impact to the enemy. Her constellation is like a trace of time. As time goes by, her abilities gradually show her innate talent, and this talent, just like our growth in life, gradually accumulates and eventually becomes an irreplaceable part.
At the same time, the re-engraving of Chizhi, Nashida and Walnut seems to be a reunion with our hearts. Chizhi is the familiar old friend who makes people feel warm with a slight smile; Nashida is the wise existence, with her gentle grass element, bringing us new possibilities at every moment; Walnut is like the tireless little flame, always burning the passion in our hearts. Their re-engraving is not just an update of the game mechanism, but more like the familiar taste brought by the flow of time, which is the direction we accidentally find when we are confused.
In this game world, the characters have become a part of us. We are not simply pursuing virtual characters, but experiencing the ups and downs of life with these characters. Every card draw, every battle, and every interaction with these characters is a microcosm of our lives. The appearance of Sinoning seems to tell us that even the hardest rock has a soft side; even the coldest battle has a warm power. The reproduced characters are like those who have appeared in our lives, gently holding our hands and leading us through the confusion and darkness.
Games are just games after all, but in them, we can find much more than what we see on the surface. It is a profound dialogue between people and between people and virtuality, and a journey about growth and companionship. And all this happened quietly under our tacit cooperation with these characters and this continent. Every update seems to be another annotation of time, and those dreams that have been missed appear before our eyes again.
Games and reality seem to be always far apart, but at this moment, the virtual world is no longer so far away. It has become the sustenance of our emotions and the habitat of our hearts.
