Genshin Impact 4.8: All New Skins and How to Get

The special program for Genshin Impact version 4.8 just concluded, and during the livestream, we received a lot of new information about the upcoming version.

One of which was the introduction of two new skins that will make their appearance in the new update. It wasn’t that long ago that Genshin Impact introduced skins to the game, and ever since they have been steadily bringing out more new skins to allow players to change their characters’ appearance.

The characters that will be getting skins in version 4.8 are Nilou and Kirara. Let’s see more about them.

Nilou Skin

Nilou is a 5-star Hydro character that was released way back on October 14, 2022. Following her release, players fell in love with Nilou’s design and character, prompting many to start saving their Primogems for her.

Now, almost two years later, Nilou is getting her first skin [Breeze of Sabaa]. Breeze of Sabaa is a beautiful skin that focuses on blue and purple themes to bring Nilou’s beauty to life.

The skin opens up more of Nilou’s head while covering the part around her abdomen, giving her an even more elegant appearance.

Given that Nilou is a 5-star character, her skin is expected to appear in the shop for a speculated price of 1,680 Genesis Crystals. However, if we consider previous skin releases, we can expect that the skin will have a 20% discount during the duration of version 4.8, which will bring its price down to 1,350 Genesis Crystals.

NOTE: The price for the skin is purely speculative and is subject to change before the official release.

Kirara Skin

Kirara is a 4-star Dendro character that was released on May 24, 2023, with the introduction of Version 3.7. As a character, Kirara is mostly played as a Dendro support, but she’s not that great. What makes her shine is her ability to turn into a kitten who can climb up walls faster than other characters.

After a year, Kirara is finally getting her first skin [Phantom in Boots]. This skin will appear in version 4.8 and will be featured as one of the rewards for the main event [Summertide Scales and Tales].

During the event, you will both be able to get a copy of Kirara and her new skins completely for free. After the event, you will be able to find the skin in the store, but it will cost you Genesis Crystals, so be sure to get it for free while you can!
