The world of Genshin Impact is always so vast and mysterious, like a constantly unfolding painting, with every stroke permeated with the story of wind and water. In the upcoming 5.7 version, the two characters, Silk and Taliya, are like two lights and shadows, slowly shining into the player’s field of vision, like a glimmer passing through the bottom of the abyss, quietly telling their own stories.
Silk, this name is not common on the continent of Teyvat, but it always carries an indescribable solemnity. She is Tartaglia’s master, the strong man who once wandered in the abyss and woke up from the sleeping star-eating whale. She is not good at speaking, her personality is calm and silent, but she has a power that cannot be ignored. Her appearance is like a cold wind in the cold winter, blowing across the clean lake, leaving cold ripples.
Her combat skills, such as “Reason Beyond Reason” and “All Streams Return to Silence”, are not just numerical improvements, but more like the laws of nature, running quietly, but containing endless vitality. Whenever she creates “virtual cracks” in battle, those cracks are like marks left deep in her heart, which are not only an extension of her power, but also a way for her to communicate with the world. Every attack and elemental burst of hers carries her inner tenacity and indomitable spirit, as if telling us: Even in the deepest darkness, we can find our own light.
This picture reminds people of those children who work silently in difficult situations, or those teenagers who grow up in adversity. Silk’s story is not exaggerated, but it makes people feel awe-her calmness and concentration are very similar to those children who are not understood by the world but still insist on their dreams. Their strength often comes from the strength and faith in the deepest part of their hearts.
On the other side, Taliyah is a completely different existence. She is the guardian of the water element and the first shield character of the water element. She uses gentle power to build an invisible barrier for the team, just like a mother gently hugging her child with both hands to give him a sense of security. Her elemental burst not only protects teammates, but also increases their attack speed. This is a warm and firm protection that makes people feel at ease and solid.
Taliyah’s existence is like a clear spring, nourishing the lives around her. She reminds people of the streams of childhood, clear to the bottom, gentle but powerful. She is not a dazzling hero, but an indispensable force in every team. Just like those people who silently contribute in reality, their contributions are ordinary and sincere, but they can bring infinite strength and hope to those around them.
The appearance of these two characters is very much like the story of ice and water in life. Ice is cold and hard, and water is soft and flowing. They are independent of each other, but interdependent, forming a complete life cycle. Silk’s ice and Taliyah’s flowing water jointly write a warm and profound story on the continent of Teyvat.
In addition, Silk’s exclusive holy relic “Deep Corridor Finale” makes people feel the designer’s dedication to the character. The 15% ice element damage bonus seems to emphasize her cold nature; and the design of alternating attacks and elemental bursts when the elemental energy is zero is very much like a child’s stumbling but firm steps forward on the road of growth. Her power is never single, but multi-layered, like the traces left by the years, precipitating her growth and tenacity.
The opening time of the card pool is also expected. The first half of the card pool from June 18 to July 8, and the second half of the card pool from July 8 to July 29, provide players with a wealth of choices and expectations. Players can not only feel the coldness and mystery of Silkock, but also experience the gentle protection brought by Taliyah.
If the world in the game is a fairy tale, then Silkock and Taliyah are the most profound chapters in the fairy tale. They are not gorgeously decorated, but full of love and perseverance for life. Just like the story in the abyss, although it is dark, there is still light; just like the fusion of water and ice, although they are opposite, they can dance a long song of life together.
We look forward to their arrival, and we also look forward to this story bringing us more enlightenment about growth, protection and tenacity. After all, whether in reality or in games, the most moving thing is always the warmth and power that is not easily seen but exists most truly.
