The New Genshin Impact event Hues of the Violet Garden is live, and players who take part in the new event have a chance of getting a free Xingqiu as a reward.
On Genshin Impact version 2.6 Livestream, Mihoyo announced the release of the 5-star Hydro character Kamisato Ayato. On the same live stream, they also announced that players will be able to get Xingqiu for free during the Irodori Festival event.
If you’re a free-to-play (F2P) player, you might want to keep an eye out for this precious event reward, especially since Xingqiu is considered a very reliable 4-star character, as well as one of the top, supports in the game.
The goal of the Itadori Festival event is for players to help organize the festival in Inazuma with Kamisato Ayato and Yae Miko playing a major role. The tower defense style game ‘Theater Mechanicus’ is back, and ‘Clash of the Lone Blades’ centers on one-on-one duels. If all that is too stressful, ‘The Floral Courtyard’ is a quest all about flower arranging.
As for Xingqiu, complete all the criteria for the ‘Friendship in Writing’ quest and you can invite the 4-star character to your party. Here is how you can get Xingqiu from the Hues of the Violet Garden event for free.
