The GI (Genshin Impact) community is abuzz with new leaks—and this time, it’s about a character named Effie. A leak shared on Reddit teases Effie’s potential debut in Fontaine, with her role as a chef being just the appetizer. The real headline? Her Elemental Skill could redefine team composition strategies.
According to the leak, Effie’s Elemental Skill reduces the Hydro and Cryo resistance of enemies by up to 45%, scaling based on the combined number of Hydro and Cryo characters in the party. This makes her a potential powerhouse in Freeze teams—but with a twist.
While this mechanic may not synergize well with characters like Xilonen or Kazuha in a Neuvillette and Furina lineup, it sets the stage for characters like Skirk to shine as the new-age Freeze hypercarry. Freeze teams, long championed by Ayaka, have seen less relevance since the Sumeru era. Effie’s skill may be the key to bringing this playstyle back into the spotlight.
If true, this leak hints at HoYoverse’s intent to revitalize the Freeze meta with Fontaine’s elegance and strategic depth. As always, take leaks with caution—but it looks like Effie could spice things up in more ways than one.
