Genshin Impact 7.2: Mitya, Valeriy and 3 Livestream Codes

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Genshin Impact 7.2: Mitya, Valeriy and 3 Livestream Codes.

The livestream is over

The preview livestream for Genshin Impact Version 7.2 has already ended. Polygon collected three codes from the stream for Primogems and other rewards. For your planning, the timing is clear: According to Polygon, the strings will be available starting at 12 a.m. EDT on October 26. The version itself will be available to download on November 4 at around 4 a.m.

The livestream mainly made two things clear: Version 7.2 brings the Snezhnaya story to a major climax, and Mitya and Valeriy add two new Electro characters to the game. By contrast, you should not wait for the codes—they are only valid during the presentation weekend.

The quest brings all the Archons to Snezhnaya

A major climax after more than six years

According to ActuGaming, the adventure on the lands of Teyvat is approaching its climax after more than six years. Version 7.2 is therefore set to move the story significantly forward. At the center is a particularly epic Archon Quest that unites all the nations of Teyvat and all the Archons.

According to the source, the situation could mean the end of the world. The Tsarina therefore gathers the assembled leaders in Snezhnaya. At the same time, a new area of the region becomes explorable, with numerous secrets waiting to be discovered. Polygon even describes Teyvat as a world that seems to be evaporating; a major gathering of the strongest leaders of each region is set to resolve the crisis.

That is the core of the story: 7.2 is not isolated side content, but an update that brings together the previous strands of the Snezhnaya story and opens a new chapter.

Mitya strengthens Astroconduction, while Valeriy provides protection with his shield

Mitya: the new 5-star Catalyst user

Mitya is the only new 5-star character in this version. He is of the Electro type and uses a Catalyst. His special quality lies in the Astroconduction reaction: Mitya increases its damage and can even keep attacking while he is not directly on the battlefield. If you keep his charged skill active, he deals additional damage with Special Energy.

Valeriy: Electro, sword and large shield

Valeriy is a 4-star character of the Electro type. He fights with a sword in one hand, but deals most of his damage through his large shield. The shield protects teams that rely on Astroconduction and can itself deal some damage. Version 7.2 therefore features two Electro characters with different roles: Mitya strengthens the attack, while Valeriy protects the group.

Two banner phases feature five characters

Phase 1

The first banner phase centers on Mitya and Furina. Valeriy is also part of this phase as a 4-star character.

Phase 2

In the second half, Zibai and Linnea move to the center. The update therefore splits its featured banner characters across two phases.

The main event combines rescue missions with falcon racing

Directly linked to the main story

The central event of Version 7.2 is closely tied to the story. You help the nations repel waves of enemies and take on the role of rescuers. On the battlefield, you must find civilians and allied soldiers who need help.

You also control a falcon and take part in air races. You must dodge obstacles and shoot at things coming toward you. In addition to these races, more challenging battles await.

As a reward, you can choose one free 4-star character from this list:

• Amber
• Xiangling
• Thoma
• Collei
• Lynette
• Kachina
• Aino
• Alyosha

Another event featuring photos and a machine

Another event revolves around photos. You strike poses to get the best shots. Alternatively, you control a machine in a Cassette Brick mini-game, which ActuGaming describes as a particularly satisfying rhythm segment.

The three codes are valid only until October 26

These exact strings

• HourofRuin
• ExpertMitya
• PhotoTime

The three codes were handed out during the presentation livestream. For all three, Polygon names Primogems, Mora and Adventurer EXP as rewards; it does not separately specify which reward belongs to each individual code. The exact expiration date and time is 12 a.m. EDT on October 26.

Redeem them now

You can enter the codes through the redemption webpage in Polygon's Version 7.2 guide, or directly in the game through the settings menu. Polygon recommends copying the strings and pasting them into the browser. If you are logged in on the linked page, you can also click the redemption links directly. The rewards will then be delivered via in-game mail.

The release follows on November 4

Maintenance and available platforms

Genshin Impact Version 7.2 is available from November 4, at around 4 a.m. Maintenance takes place a few hours earlier. Players receive Primogems as compensation for the resulting waiting time.

The update releases for PC, PS5, Xbox Series, iOS and Android. So you do not miss the live codes, the practical part is clear: The three strings belong to the presentation livestream and expire before the version launches.
