Genshin Impact Reveals "Kuki Shinobu: Jack Of All Trades" Character Demo, Banner Set To Launch In Update 2.7

Four-star Electro character Kuki Shinobu of the Arataki Gang debuted today on YouTube through a character demo released by Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse. She will release during the second half of update 2.7 on June 21.

The character demo on the official Genshin Impact YouTube channel begins with her explaining her role in the Araktaki Gang, making sure to keep its members from getting into sticky situations. Because of her characteristics, Kuki operates best as a supporting character.

With her Electro Vision, she can heal teammates and deal continuous damage to enemies from afar. Her other unique abilities are Sanctifying Ring, which saps a bit of her HP to deal Electro damage to nearby opponents, and the Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite, dealing continuous Electro damage to enemies in an AoE based on her max HP. You can view these in action in the character demo.

Kuki Shinobu arrives on the same banner as Arataki Itto, Chongyun, and Gorou. During the wish duration between June 21 and July 12, every 4-star character - including Kuki - will get a big drop-rate boost. If players miss the chance to add her to their roster, she will appear as a standard wish in "Wanderlust Invocation" for update 2.8.

I find it hard to see how they keep adding adding and adding to it, surely it will become a jumbled mess eventually.
I went to the wiki its tells a good story on this games intrusions into your privacy.
I like the game i do not see why they need to spy. i do though understand their position as the government they are under is a full blown "We need to spy on you" network, They must spying so much they have headaches from it. they just need to chill :) so i do not play it.
