If your Primogem stash is already sweating, join the club. The Genshin Impact leak community has exploded over two new names — Mitya and Valeriy — allegedly coming in Version 7.2. Are they the next must-pull characters, or just more spreadsheet embellishment from a leaker farming engagement? Let’s separate the credible whispers from the copium.

Who Are Genshin Impact 7.2 Mitya and Valeriy?
Not much is officially confirmed. But according to the early Genshin Impact 7.2 leak batch, Mitya and Valeriy are two new characters tied to the next wave of Snezhnaya storytelling. Think cold landscapes, old alliances, and the kind of emotionally heavy backstories HoYoverse loves to drop right before a banner.
One leak claims Mitya is a Cryo sword user with a kit that rewards normal attack chains and elemental skill resets. Another suggests Valeriy is a Pyro polearm character built around burst windows and off-field damage. If both survive beta, they could shake up team building dramatically.
What the Kit Leaks Actually Suggest
Again — nothing here is final. But if the early data holds, Mitya could offer strong Cryo application with self-buffing mechanics, making him a natural fit for melt or freeze teams. Valeriy, on the other hand, sounds like a reaction enabler — Pyro sub DPS with kit synergy for vape and overload comps.
The interesting part? They might be designed to work together. Some leakers claim their passives reference each other, similar to how older sibling-style units share team bonuses. If true, pulling both could become the dream combo for 7.2.
When Are They Coming?
The current window points to Version 7.2, with Mitya in the first half and Valeriy in the second. That means players saving now have roughly one full patch cycle to secure enough Primogems for at least one guarantee — assuming no unexpected banner shuffles.
I’ve been burned before by leaks that looked solid two weeks out, so take all of this with a healthy dose of skepticism. HoYoverse drip marketing is the only confirmation that counts.
Should You Save or Spend?
If you already have a strong Cryo DPS and a solid Pyro sub, you might skip one banner. If not, saving for Mitya or Valeriy could be smart. Check our Genshin Impact hidden quest guide for 2026 to squeeze out extra Primogems and our Primogem farming methods that actually work before the banners drop.
