The Version 5.4 of Genshin Impact, “Moonlight Amidst Dreams”, will arrive on February 12, 2025, immersing players in the revived Mikawa Flower Festival in Inazuma. This iconic event brings exclusive mini-games and rewards, while also introducing Yumemizuki Mizuki, a 5-star Anemo character. Below, we break down the key details of this update.
Mikawa Flower Festival: Tradition and Renewed Challenges
The Mikawa Flower Festival is the heart of Version 5.4, an event celebrating harmony between humans and youkai. Raiden Shogun will play a crucial role in the storyline, investigating a supernatural nightmare threatening peace. Players will enjoy three main mini-games:
- “A Little Fox’s Daydream”: A dreamlike challenge where you guide a kitsune to collect Fried Tofu and avoid obstacles.
- “Bunshin Phantasm”: A strategic puzzle where Muji-Muji Daruma mimic your past movements to unlock paths.
- “Enhanced Akitsu Harpastum”: A reflex test requiring you to dodge projectiles and maintain vitality.
By participating, players earn Festival Stamps, exchangeable for the 4-star polearm “Tamayuratei no Ohanashi” and other valuable resources. Don’t forget to explore every corner of the festival: interactions with youkai NPCs may unlock unique side quests.
Yumemizuki Mizuki: Youkai Therapist and Versatile Support
Yumemizuki Mizuki is the standout addition in this update. This 5-star Anemo Catalyst user combines healing and area damage, ideal for teams prioritizing elemental reactions. Her key abilities include:
- Elemental Skill – “Dreamdrifter State”:
- Deals AoE Anemo DMG.
- Boosts Swirl Reaction DMG for allies using Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro.
- Elemental Burst – “Banquet of Shared Dreams”:
- Summons a Mini Baku that creates healing Sweets.
- If a character below 70% HP collects them, they recover health. Above 70%, the Sweets explode, dealing AoE Anemo DMG.
- Exclusive Passive:
- Increases healing dish effectiveness by 30% for the entire party.
Mizuki will debut in Phase 1 Event Wishes of Version 5.4, alongside Sigewinne’s rerun. In Phase 2, Furina and Wriothesley return as featured characters. After Version 5.5, Mizuki will join the Standard Wish banner, making her more accessible in the future.
