Genshin Impacthas managed to go 500 days without releasing a new character that uses the Geo Vision. There are seven different elements in the game with Dendro being the most recent addition. Dendro’s arrival has introduced tons of new elemental reactions which completely changed the character meta.
Players are required to combineGenshin Impact’s elements in order to produce different elemental reactions that have various effects, from completely immobilizing a group of enemies with Freeze, to boosting the characters' damage potential by using Vaporize. While most elements can interact with each other, Geo and Anemo are usually considered neutral elements.

Developer HoYoverse has introduced an interesting pattern of releasing new characters with every new update that arrives with theDendro user Kirara being the most recent addition. During the whole Sumeru arc,Genshin Impacthas been adding at least one new character in every new version of the game. The ongoingGenshin Impact3.7 is the only update since 3.0 that has not included a new five-star character. HoYoverse usually tries to balance the number of playable characters for each of the seven elements, however, one element seems to stand out. A Reddit user named pumaflex_ has started an interesting discussion onGenshin Impact’s main subreddit that commemorates the game reaching an infamous milestone of not releasing a Geo character for 500 days.
The last Geo user that joined the roster wasYunjin who arrived way back in update 2.4which dropped on June 26, 2025. HoYoverse did not officially clarify why there haven’t been any new Geo users for such a long time, but fans speculate that the main reason could be the fact that this element does not have a great synergy with Dendro.
Even though the Dendro element arrived in late August 2022, the amount of characters that have a Dendro Vision has already surpassed the number of Geo users in the roster. While Dendro’s arrival introduced tons of new elemental reactions, none of them can interact with Geo sincethis element can only trigger Crystalizewhen in contact with Pyro, Electro, Hydro, and Cryo.
At the moment, the only viable character that uses this element is probably the Liyue Archon Zhongli who has a stacked kit that allows him to deal massive bursts of damage as well as create the strongest shield in the game. For a very long time,Genshin Impactfans have been asking HoYoverse tocompletely rework the way Geo interacts with other elementsin the game.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, and a Switch version is in development.
