While HoYoverse has yet to officially reveal any playable characters from the Hydro Archon's domain, leaks have revealed a number of new characters from Fontaine. Lyney and Lynette have been two of the longest rumored characters for the region, first seen in Genshin Impact's "Travail" trailer teasing the RPG's future settings. Several leaks have hinted at both the elements and rarities for Lyney and Lynette, expected to debut as five-star and four-star characters respectively. Now, leaks are giving the first idea of how each character, along with the rumored Hydro Archon, will play.

A new update from Genshin Impact leaker Uncle YC via well-known leaker Tao has revealed the first details about Lyney, Lynette, and the heavily rumored Focalors. Lynette is revealed to play the role of an off-screen support character as an Anemo Sword user, confirming previous leaks about her element. Lyney is confirmed to be the third Pyro Bow character added to Genshin Impact, playing the role of a Charged Attack DPS similar to characters like Tighnari and Ganyu. Focalors, referred to as "Hydro Archon," will reportedly revolve around HP and feature a "special damage increasing method."
While no hard information has come out from HoYoverse about the three characters, many leaks have already started to speculate about their debut. Lynette is expected to launch as one of the first playable characters from Fontaine, believed to be releasing with Version 4.0. The post was unable to confirm a launch date for Lyney or Focalors, though other leaks have suggested Focalors may become playable in Version 4.2. Several other characters including Mondstadt's Varka and another member of the Fatui's Harbingers are rumored to be appearing following the Fontaine update.
While Lyney, Lynette, and Focalors are among the first characters to debut from Fontaine, leaks have shown off plenty more about the Hydro region. Recent leaks from Genshin Impact have started to give an idea about the layout of Fontaine, sitting north of Sumeru and northwest of Liyue. The region is also expected to feature several water-based puzzles and even underwater mechanics, given its association with the Hydro Archon. Fans will surely see even more information about Genshin Impact's next region before its expected launch this summer.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
