Mihoyo has announced two new Genshin Impact characters that will join the game in the form of Nahida and Layla.In a duo of tweets posted to the Genshin Impact Twitter account, Mihoyo provided details on the Lesser Lord Kusanali, Nahida and the Rtawahist student, Layla.
Nahida is noted as a “physic of purity” and is a lesser lord Kusanali, meaning she is one of the seven archons – gods who preside over the regions of Teyvat.◆ Nahida◆ Physic of Purity◆ Lesser Lord Kusanali◆ Dendro◆ Sapientia Oromasdis#GenshinImpact #Nahida pic.twitter.com/ZmRvfCQKcu— Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) September 26, 2022Nahida presides over Sumeru, the newest region to be added to Genshin Impact.
