Genshin Impact's official 3.0 update is just a day away from hitting servers.

Players are already familiar with some of these characters, as Cyno and Nilou have made appearances on multiple occasions. "General Mahamatra," as HoYoverse likes to call Cyno, made his appearance in the official manga. On the other hand, the "Star of Zubayr Theater," Nilou, was seen as a majestic dancer in the
