Recent Genshin Impact leaks provide a few more details about Inazuma’s next upcoming catgirl. If the details are true, her name is Momoka and she is another geoprotector. While it makes thematic sense for a Geo character to generate shields, this will be the third Geo shield in the anime game, along with Zhongli and Yun Jin. Hopefully she can do enough to stand out from the crowd, besides being part cat.
New Protectors are certainly welcome if they can play an elemental role while protecting the team, but being a new GeoProtector when Zhongli already exists will raise a lot of questions. Zhongli has the strongest shields in the game, hands down, so now we need to know what else Momoka has to offer.
Yun Jin, for example, provides helpful attack buffs with his shield, which greatly benefits characters like Yoimiya and Hu Tao. Even so, Zhongli is also often used in those same teams as his shield is only This GOOD.
It was also said that Momoka would be a five-star swordsman, which would make her a candidate to be the first Geo character to enter the standard banner. There’s no way to know for sure, but it would be weird if they didn’t add it since there will already be two Pyro Claymores and a Dendro character by the time it arrives.
These details come Mero on Twitter, and you can get a glimpse of what it looks like from another Genshin leaker named kuroo, though they’ve removed the images from their Twitter page.
We won’t see Momoka until version 3.6 or later, but with Genshin Impact version 3.5 currently underway, you can get one for Cyno or Dehya, one of the aforementioned Pyro Claymores. And those waiting can fire Ayaka and Shenhe in the second half.
