Does the New Character in Genshin Impact Have a Significant Impact?
Recently, the latest information about the new character Effie has been revealed, generating buzz in the gaming community for Genshin Impact. This chef character has been introduced with several intriguing details. According to leaks from Seele, Effie will serve as a flexible on/off field DPS character. To support this point, the leaker further shared insights about Effie’s unique abilities.

Effie (also known as Akkefi) is the official name of this character, and her role in the future meta is indeed crucial. She is expected to be a “top-tier” character for any Cryo/Hydro team composition. According to Seele, Effie’s abilities will provide at least one instance of Cryo/Hydro resistance reduction for team members, significantly enhancing their effectiveness against enemies. The reduction will be substantial, ranging from 5-10-15% up to 45% depending on the number of characters in the team.
Genshin Impact Players Should Invest in Effie
It is worth noting that a direct resistance reduction of up to 45% is quite rare. Characters like Neuvillette, Mualani, and Wriothesley, who belong to the Hydro/ Cryo families, would greatly benefit from Effie’s support. Moreover, it’s essential to consider the upcoming 6.0 version that is set to roll out soon. The game Genshin Impact will continue to develop deeper into the Hydro region, along with its new characters. Effie’s role will become increasingly important during the current phase of “resource gathering.”

Furthermore, this information only pertains to one aspect of Effie’s abilities. While Effie is primarily a DPS character, she is not classified as a Support. Nevertheless, this data suggests she has the potential to enhance damage output significantly within either the Hydro or Cryo teams, providing Genshin Impact players with a broader perspective on building teams with Effie in mind for the future.
