Genshin Impact 1.3 will be released next week, which means that the much-anticipated Xiao is about to appear. What's more exciting is that a new event allows you to choose a free 4-star character.

Because Genshin Impact rarely provides players with free playable characters, this update is generous for fans. You can get a good character without spending Primogems or Fates.

The focus of the 1.3 Update will be Liyue’s Lantern Rite Festival. Xiao will appear as a banner character. You can also get a variety of rare items, Fates, and even a free character by participating in some new events related to the festival. In order to get a free role, you need to participate in the Stand By Me event.

Genshin Impact provides players with free roles before. For example, Xiangling in the Spiral Abyss and Fischl in Unreconciled Stars, all of which require you to complete the challenge and then get the character for free. So the same is true for the upcoming Stand By Me event.

Here are all free characters

Now there are Xiangling, Xinyan, Beidou, Ningguang, Xingqiu, and Chongyun free characters for you to choose from. They are all four-star characters. Although they are not as powerful as 5-star characters, they are also very good. And characters like Xingqiu usually rank very high in the players’ rating list, and they can provide great additions to the best team builds of Genshin Impact, except for Anemo, all Elements in the game are presented, so you will have to choose the most suitable supplement according to your current team configuration.

It seems that version 1.3 will not be a big update, but it will introduce a lot of content and features, which will still meet the needs of players. I bet that the ‘Stand By Me’ event will be the most popular event. After all, who doesn't want to get a free 4-star character?

Besides, Xiao is another focus, but as a 5-star character, he is not so easy to get. If you don’t have enough luck to get him in the game, then you can choose to buy Genshin Impact Accounts with him from MMOWTS. Buying is the fastest way for players who don’t want to wait. This will make you immersed in the game faster. And as a professional website, MMOWTS will always sell Gneshin Impact Accounts at a reasonable price, so you don’t have to worry about it will cost you a lot of money!
