Upcoming 5.7 Features & Events You Don’t Want to Miss

Jaym0's Avatar by Jaym0

Genshin Impact Version 5.7 is launching this week, and HoYoverse has shared exciting new features and events coming with it. From limited-time quests to permanent endgame content, here’s everything you don’t want to miss!

Free Gift: Dust of Enlightenment

After updating to Version 5.7, players Adventure Rank 5 and above can claim 2x Dust of Enlightenment from their in-game mailbox. You just need to log in during Version 5.7 to receive it.

Dust of Enlightenment is a special item from the new Stygian Onslaught endgame activity. You can use it to reroll substats on fully-levelled artifacts, which is a huge help for perfecting your builds!

It means that you can save a good Artifact that may have been ruined by bad sub-stat rolls.

You can also get 2 Dust of Enlightenment if you bought the Battle Pass.

New Endgame Content: Stygian Onslaught

This is a new permanent endgame challenge with multiple difficulty levels. Clear harder stages and spend Resin to claim rewards from different Domains of Blessing.

  • Earn Dust of Enlightenment by completing Menacing or Fearless difficulty and reaching 1200 Dire Prestige points.
  • You can earn up to 3 Dusts per version.
  • Stygian Onslaught unlocks on Week 2, Wednesday, after each version begins.
  • Available for players AR45+.

Trounce Domain First Clear Bonus
