Recent Genshin Impact leaks from PTL and Mr. White have revealed some details about Chiori's release date and kit, confirming that she will be the only new character in version 4.5.

Chiori is described as a five-star character whose skill set is based on Crystallise, an elemental reaction that occurs when Geo units deal damage to targets with Pyro, Electro, Hydro, or Cryo debuffs.

If early leaks about her kit are accurate, Chiori will unleash her true potential when paired with characters that specialize in different elements.
