Thanks to new leaks from version 5.8 of Genshin Impact, we now have a better look at the next Genius Invokation TCG character cards: Lan Yan, Heizou, and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. A small video revealed their animations, and each of the abilities!

You can take a look at the animations here:

The following information is roughly translated and may not be fully accurate, so take it with a grain of salt!

Lan Yan – Anemo Character Card

  • Normal Attack: Black Heron Walks on Water
    • Deals 1 Anemo damage.
  • Elemental Skill: Phoenix Feather Dance
    • Generates 2 Phoenix Shield stacks.
    • Deals 1 Anemo damage.
    • If this causes Swirl, it creates 1 extra Phoenix Shield stack.
    • After the skill: your team automatically switches to the next character.
  • Burst: Shining Moon Aurora
    • Deals 5 Anemo damage.
  • Phoenix Shield Effect:

Shikanoin Heizou – Anemo Character Card

  • Normal Attack: Fudou Martial Arts
    • Deals 1 Anemo damage.
  • Elemental Skill: Heartstopper Strike (Charged)
    • Prepares a charged attack.
    • Charged version deals 4 Anemo damage.

    • If it triggers an Anemo reaction, it applies a Hurricane Eye (of the same element as the enemy’s active character).

These cards definitely add some exciting new options to the TCG meta, especially with their mix of reactions, shield stacking, and utility skills.
