Genshin Impact Aino materials, kit, and Constellations

Aino, a Hydro-aligned 4-Star unit, is anticipated to join Genshin Impact’s roster in update 6.0. Though initially appearing as featured support in limited-time banners, she’ll become a permanent addition through Wanderlust Invocation and periodically reappear in rate-up rotations post-version 6.0.

For those preparing to maximize her capabilities, leaked beta data reveals essential resources for character elevation and skill enhancement. We’ve compiled preliminary details about her combat mechanics and constellation effects, with the caveat that final implementation may differ from current test server information.

Sequential Strike Protocol Analysis

Aino executes a three-hit combo sequence when using regular attacks. Charged attacks initiate sustained spinning strikes culminating in a powerful finishing blow. Plunging maneuvers create hydro-infused shockwaves impacting all nearby adversaries.

Hydraulic Capture Module Mechanics

Deploys an aquatic retrieval device that pulls enemies while dealing consistent Hydro damage. Holding the skill enables directional adjustments through targeting mode activation.

Hyper-Precise Thermal Regulation System

Deploys automated hydro turrets that barrage foes with pressurized water projectiles within a defined operational zone.
