On the other hand, in the second phase, we will be getting two new re-runs, bringing back Nahida and Hu Tao's banners.
New Boss
The version 5.1 update will also feature a new boss called Secret Source Constructor. An ancient construction machine with a lethal nature that awaits challengers in a long-forgotten cave.
Main Event - Sabzeruz Festival
The main event of the upcoming version update will be the seasonal event, Sabzeruz Festival, which will take players back to Sumeru, where the streets have come to live with joyful rhythms and festivities in the wake of the birthday of Lesser Lord Kusanali.
