According to recent leaks about Genshin Impact, Version 5.5 is set to introduce the remaining Fontaine Artifact sets to the Strongbox system. The additions include Song of Days Past, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, and Unfinished Reverie. Fans can look forward to this version rolling out on March 28, 2025.
In the vibrant world of Genshin Impact, many players have grown fond of the Fontaine era, and one of its underappreciated aspects has been the unique Artifact Sets it introduced. These artifacts have allowed players to enhance their teams in intriguing ways. Characters like Furina have broken new ground by extending the Marechaussee Hunter set bonus to non-Fontaine hypercarries. Similarly, the Golden Troupe set provided long-standing characters such as Fischl with a fresh avenue for growth.
But let’s face it, hunting for Artifacts in Genshin Impact isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Despite efforts by the developers to lighten the burden, such as the introduction of the Sanctifying Elixir and the Strongbox, collecting the perfect Artifacts still remains a time-consuming task. While some sets like the Marechaussee Hunter and Golden Troupe were previously added to the Strongbox in Natlan, a few pivotal sets have been missing.
Thankfully, it’s looking like Version 5.5 will address this gap. According to FireflyNews, players can look forward to the arrival of the Song of Days Past, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, and Unfinished Reverie in the Strongbox. This update is bound to be music to the ears of Navia mains, who have been tirelessly farming Waterfall Wen since Version 4.3. By freeing players from relentless farming, they can now allocate their Resin towards the fresh Artifact Domain.
Let’s break down these new additions. While the Song of Days Past doesn’t see as much limelight as the other sets, its inclusion is certainly welcome. Upcoming Artifact Sets appear to be tailored around the characters Varesa and Skirk. Varesa’s set seems to enhance Plunging Attacks significantly, whereas Skirk’s set looks to favor characters without Elemental Energy.
It’s also worth mentioning that the developers hinted at exciting changes to the Sanctifying Elixir in Version 5.5, promising that selected attributes will be guaranteed to improve at least twice. The finer details of this adjustment are likely to be covered in the upcoming developer livestream, expected on March 14, 2025. As for the much-anticipated release of Version 5.5, circle March 28, 2025, on your calendars.
