Summary
A reliable source in theGenshin Impactcommunity has revealed the full ability kit for Sigewinne, an upcoming healer character set to release in Version 4.7. Though comparisons between Sigewinne and Kokomi were rampant amongGenshin Impactplayers, the first impressions of her ability kit imply that Sigewinne will fulfill a completely different role altogether. As a Hydro 5-Star healer, she will not intrude upon Kokomi’s niche of providing powerful off-field Hydro applications, but will instead focus on increasing her energy recharge and healing power through the Bond of Life.
The Bond of Life is a new mechanic introduced via thecrafted Fontaine weapons inGenshin Impact, but it could be argued that Arlecchino’s debut in Version 4.6 represents the first proper version of the Bond of Life. Characters under a Bond of Life do not receive any healing, where restored hit points are instead pooled into the Bond of Life. Upon clearing the condition, differentGenshin Impactcharacters that utilize the mechanic receive different benefits based on the amount of healing administered into the Bond of Life.
Sigewinne Is a Quickswap Healer With Bond of Life in Genshin Impact
Sigewinne’s complete ability kit wasleaked by FouL, one of the oldest and most reliable sources in theGenshin ImpactLeaks community, and it paints the Melusine medic as a quickswap healer with a long rotation. Sigewinne’s abilities scale with HP, and her Elemental Skill is comparable toBaizhu inGenshin Impact. When pressing her Elemental Skill, Sigewinne creates a water ball that can bounce up to five times, depending on the number of enemies within range. Each bounce heals the other party members, while Sigewinne receives healing once the ball disappears. Holding the Elemental Skill can increase the size of the ball, and thus deal more damage and healing.
Curiously, Sigewinne’s Elemental Skill generates two Sourcewater Droplets that can either be consumed by Neuvillette or Sigewinne, or even used for her Elemental Burst. For every Sourcewater Droplet consumed bySigewinne inGenshin Impact, she receives a Bond of Life equal to 10% of her maximum HP. For every 2,000 HP healed when the Bond of Life is cleared, Sigewinne will gain an energy point (up to a maximum of five). However, it should be noted that her Elemental Burst has an 18-second cooldown.
Sigewinne’s Elemental Burst is similar to Neuvillette’s Charged Attack, in that it can consume up to two Sourcewater Droplets and deals six ticks of frontal Hydro damage. While Sigewinne cannot apply the Bond of Life to other party members, every usage of her Elemental Skill generates ten “Rest” stacks with a duration of 18 seconds. These “Rest” stacks significantly increase the damage dealt by Elemental Skills cast by characters in the backfield, which should benefit characters such as Dehya orFischl inGenshin Impact. Overall, Sigewinne looks to be a well-rounded healer with her current ability kit, who may end up forming a powerful team core with Furina.
