Genshin Impact Update 1.5 Patch Notes (Complete)

Update 1.5 has arrived for Genshin Impact, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. The biggest addition in Update 1.5 is the introduction of housing to Genshin Impact. It’s only accessible to travelers that have invested a healthy amount of time into the game, however. The new Hangout Event quests for Diona and Noelle are no different, though travelers who have at least completed the Mondstadt chapter can at least take part in Diona’s Hangout Event. There are other changes in Update 1.5 as well, such as the tweaks made to the battle pass quests and Stellar Reunion. Here’s everything new with Genshin Impact Update 1.5.

Genshin Impact Update 1.5 Patch Notes

New System

New System: Serenitea Pot

• Adepti use Serenitea Pots as media through which they can channel their adeptal power and create realms and abodes.
• As the owner of this realm, you may decorate it however you wish and turn it into a home away from home.
• After using and summoning the Serenitea Pot, you can interact with it and enter the abode within.
• You can also use and summon the pot while you are within its confines. Interacting with the Serenitea Pot in this state will allow you to leave it.
• You can also directly open the map interface and fast travel to any of the Teleport Waypoints to immediately leave the Serenitea Pot.

Teapot Spirit

• A spirit that lives inside the teapot. It is said that she was created by the adepti themselves. She looks after many matters within the realm, serving as a butler of sorts.

Trust Rank

• As you place more furnishings and increase the level of Adeptal Energy within the realm, the teapot spirit will become more trustful of you.
• Increasing Trust Rank will unlock features for the Serenitea Pot or allow you to obtain various rewards.

Adeptal Energy

• The amount of Adeptal Energy within the realm will gradually increase along with the number of furnishings placed.
• Once a new Adeptal Energy Rank is reached, the realm’s output will also increase.

Creating

• You can obtain the materials required to create furnishings in many different ways, all around Teyvat. For example, you can obtain wood for making Furnishings by cutting down trees.

Realm Depot

• You can use Realm Currency in the Serenitea Pot to exchange for items of your choice.
• During the Teapot Traveling Salesman’s visits, you can also enter other realms to exchange with Salesmen within them for desired items.

New Characters

5-Star Character “Dance of the Shimmering Wave” Eula (Cryo)

• Vision: Cryo
• Weapon: Claymore
• The Spindrift Knight, a scion of the old aristocracy, and the Captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company. The reason for which a descendant of the ancient nobles might join the Knights remains a great mystery in Mondstadt to this very day.
• Tapping Eula’s Elemental Skill “Icetide Vortex” deals Cryo DMG and provides Eula with the Grimheart effect. Holding her Elemental Skill consumes all the stacks of Grimheart and deals AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her. When the Grimheart stacks are consumed, surrounding opponents will have their Physical RES and Cryo RES decreased. Each consumed stack of Grimheart will be converted into an Icewhirl Brand that deals Cryo DMG to nearby opponents.
• Eula’s Elemental Burst “Glacial Illumination” deals AoE Cryo DMG and creates a Lightfall Sword that follows her around. After this, when Eula’s own Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst deal DMG to opponents, they will charge the Lightfall Sword. Once its duration ends, the Lightfall Sword will descend and explode violently, dealing Physical DMG that scales on the number of energy stacks the Lightfall Sword has accumulated.
  • “Dance of the Shimmering Wave” Eula (Cryo) will be available in a future event wish.

4-Star Character “Wise Innocence” Yanfei

• Vision: Pyro
• Weapon: Catalyst
• A well-known legal adviser active in Liyue Harbor. A brilliant young lady in whose veins runs the blood of an illuminated beast.
• Yanfei’s Normal Attack has a Scarlet Seal effect. While Scarlet Seals are present, Yanfei’s Stamina consumption is decreased. A Charged Attack consumes all Scarlet Seals, with the AoE and DMG of the attack increasing according to the amount of Scarlet Seals consumed.
  Yanfei’s Elemental Skill “Signed Edict” deals AoE Pyro DMG. Hitting opponents with the flames grants Yanfei the maximum number of Scarlet Seals.
• Yanfei’s Elemental Burst “Done Deal” deals AoE Pyro DMG, granting Yanfei the maximum number of Scarlet Seals and applying the Brilliance effect to her. While Brilliance is in effect, Yanfei’s Charged Attack DMG is increased and she is granted a Scarlet Seal at fixed intervals.
  • In the event wish “Gentry of Hermitage,” “Wise Innocence” Yanfei (Pyro) will receive a huge drop-rate boost!

New Equipment

New Weapon

• Song of Broken Pines (5-Star Claymore)
• A part of the “Millennial Movement” that wanders amidst the winds. Increases the wielder’s ATK. When Normal or Charged Attacks hit opponents, the character gains a Sigil of Whispers. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When you possess 4 Sigils of Whispers, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the “Millennial Movement: Banner-Hymn” effect for 12s. This effect increases Normal ATK SPD and ATK. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Whispers for 20s. Of the many effects of the “Millennial Movement,” buffs of the same type will not stack.

New Artifacts

• Tenacity of the Millelith (4-Star and 5-Star)
  • 2-Piece Set: HP is increased.
  • 4-Piece Set: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased and their Shield Strength is increased for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.
• Pale Flame (4-Star and 5-Star)
  • 2-Piece Set: Physical DMG is increased.
  • 4-Piece Set: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, ATK is increased for 7s. This effect stacks up to 2 times and can be triggered once every 0.3s. Once 2 stacks are reached, the 2-set effect is increased by 100%.
• Obtain artifacts in the above sets from Ridge Watch, the new Domain of Blessing at Bishui Plain.

New Domains

New Domain: Ridge Watch

• Standing proudly over the start of the ridge, these ancient city ruins overlook both north and south, both mountain and river, like a boundary marker. Legend has it that its gates and blessings are only open to those whose hearts are lit with an eternal blaze.
• Obtain artifacts in the “Tenacity of the Millelith” and “Pale Flame” sets from Ridge Watch, the new Domain of Blessing at Bishui Plain.

New Trounce Domain: Beneath the Dragon-Queller

• The new Trounce Domain, Beneath the Dragon-Queller, has been added to the Nantianmen area.
• Unlocked after completing Zhongli’s Story Quest “Historia Antiqua Chapter: Act II – No Mere Stone.”

After updating to Version 1.5, there will be three opportunities to halve the Original Resin cost when claiming rewards from Trounce Blossoms in Trounce Domains and the “Lupus Boreas, Dominator of Wolves” challenge (after the V1.5 update – 2021/05/03 04:00). The number of opportunities resets every Monday at 04:00 (Server time).

• Travelers should complete the update to V1.5 first before completing the relevant challenges for the week April 26 – May 2.

New Monsters

Cryo Hypostasis

• Elemental creatures who protect themselves from incoming attack with their durable shell. Find an opportune moment to land a blow to their elemental core. At critical moments, they will enter a shielded regenerative state, firing Frostfruits to attack its foes while restoring its own HP. Use Charged Attacks to redirect the Frostfruits back at the Cryo Hypostasis to knock it out of its regenerative state swiftly.
• Located at Entombed City – Outskirts

Azhdaha

•  An enormous dragon as ancient as the mountains themselves.
  In an age that has all but faded from memory, he stood shoulder to shoulder with one who ruled over a harbor of stone. But in the end, the two came into conflict, and the dragon was banished to a dark place deep underground. Over the long years of his imprisonment, his power has slowly dissipated. He has also become disfigured from the various kinds of erosion he has been subjected to.
  The faint rattling of this dragon lord’s shackles and his deep, angry growl echo through the bowels of the mountains like memories of a bygone era.
• Located at Nantianmen

New Elite Monster: Abyss Lector – Violet Lightning

• A creature of the Abyss Order that calls upon thunder and lightning in praise of the darkness.
  It possesses some ability to disrupt elemental powers, and some of its attacks will drain characters’ Elemental Energy when dealing DMG to them.
• In Version 1.5, the Abyss Lector: Violet Lightning will only appear in the Spiral Abyss.

New Event: Energy Amplifier Initiation – Take part and exchange for “Kätzlein Cocktail” Diona (Cryo)!

Genshin Impact Update 1.5 may not include a new zone to explore, but the Serenitea Pot housing system looks to be remarkably robust. Travelers who have completed the third act in the Liyue chapter of the story should find themselves busy harvesting materials for all their ideal furnishings. The update to the Resin costs for Weekly Bosses is also a welcome change, even if it’s not exactly what the community has requested. Personally, I’m happy to see Zhongli return to Genshin Impact in Update 1.5: now that he’s been buffed I’m sure myself and others who skipped out on his first banner are more than eager to add him to our rosters.

Genshin Impact is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Mobile. For more information regarding this patch, visit the official Genshin Impact site.
