We’ll break down everything you need to know about the Kirara skin, including a closer look at its details, how to claim it for free, how to get Kirara if you don’t have her yet, and how to participate in the Summertide Scales and Tales event.
Who is Kirara in Genshin Impact?
Kirara is a 4-star Dendro character who wields a sword. She’s not just a fighter though, Kirara works as a dedicated courier for the famous Inazuma delivery company, Komaniya Express.
Despite being a Nekomata, a two-tailed cat youkai, Kirara is known for her cheerful personality and love for human society. Her dedication and positive attitude have even earned her a loyal following of satisfied customers.
How to get a free Kirara in Genshin Impact 4.8’s summer event
Players can recruit Kirara into their team for free by drawing for a certain number of figurines in Summertide Scales and Tales in Genshin Impact 4.8.
In order to draw figurines, you’ll need to accumulate enough Starsail Coins, the unique currency used in this event. Starsail Coins can be obtained by participating in the summer event’s mini games.
After meeting the criteria, you’ll unlock the invitation to recruit Kirara to your team.
What is Kirara’s Phantom in Boots?
Phantom in Boots is Kirara’s outfit that follows a phantom burglar theme.
Instead of her usual top and skirt attire, the Genshin character now wears a short corset dress with a matching wide brim fedora hat. Her over-the-knee laced-up boots complete the look.
Kirara outfit release date
Kirara’s character skin releases in Genshin Impact 4.8 on July 17, 2024.
