When was Genshin Impact Aino's release date?

Genshin Impact's Aino released in version update 6.0, the first of the Nod-Krai patches. She's a four-star character, featuring on the banners in the second half, alongside Flins and Yelan.

Who is Aino?

Aino is officially the first hydro claymore character in Genshin Impact. This is groundbreaking if you've followed the game for a while. We also know a little bit about her life. She works at the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop in Genshin Impact's Nod-Krai, and she created Ineffa.

Her outfit design is reminiscent of Natlan's sense of style, but also reminds us of Zenless Zone Zero's Anby, thanks to the green and the rivets.
