Technically speaking, there were two Hydro Archons known to exist, according to Genshin Impact lore. The first of these was not named, but was known to have Lochfolk's allegiance before she ended up perishing. Focalors is its successor and the main topic of this article.

If Focalor follows the past priority set by previous playable Archons, this means she will:

• five star character
• Hydro user

There is no reliable information detailing her kit, so this article will primarily focus on what is officially known about Focalor, as well as some related leaks.

Everything we know about Hydro Archon Focalor Genshin Impact so far

Who is the Focalor / Focalors in Genshin Impact

Focalors is known as the Hydro Archon and Goddess of Justice, residing in the Fontaine region. She is mentioned during preview of the storyline of the head of Teyvat and in the event Drops of desire!

History of the emergence of the Hydro Archon - Focalors

Some theories suggest that the Focalors were not an original member of the Seven. This is because she was chosen after the previous Hydro Archon died in the war. 2000 years ago.

According to Teyvat scientists, The War of the Archons was a battle between the Gods. "Seven" was created at the end of the war. 

Theory 1

The former Hydro Archon had a desire to contact all the people of the world, so she sent the Oceanids, including the strongest of them, Rhodea of ​​Loch, around the world to act as Fontaine's spies. After the departure of the previous Hydro Archon, the Oceanids did not recognize the new Hydro Archon and cut ties with Fontaine.

Theory 2

We have another theory that the Focalors killed the former Archon Hydro out of envy or to gain attention because he was so loved by his people, and she was his most loyal subject and always accompanied him everywhere.

When the former Archon Hydro was killed, Focalors ascended as the New Archon Hydro because she was so devoted to Justice and the former Archon. And since the Oceanids knew about the crime committed by Focalors, they did not recognize her as their new Archon and therefore were scattered around Teyvat by the spies of the former Archon Hydro. They took the opportunity to escape her forces and finally leave Fontaine.

Focalors was mentioned by Nahida during the Pulse of Akash and Flames of Kalpa, the Archon's quest, when a traveler asked her about the Fontaine region, which is said to be the traveler's next destination.

However, she still appears during each of them and has the right to influence the final verdict as the Archon.

Fontaine leaks

The new territory has already flashed in dialogues with NPCs and is called Fontaine, from the French "fountain". The source of inspiration for the developers was France of the 20th century, but with some changes. The people in the region wear beautiful dresses and outfits, and the men almost always wear different top hats. Players met several of these characters during additional quests.

Fontaine is controlled by the Hydro Archon, whose hallmark is a heightened sense of justice. This is expressed in a very complex judicial system, which was also mentioned by some NPCs.

The main thing that distinguishes the new area from all the previous ones is advanced technologies. We are waiting for a real steampunk with metal cars, steam engines and, according to rumors, even a train.

Fonteille will be a true center of culture and art. Rock and roll music and the camera, thanks to which we went through many quests with photos, were created in the water region. In addition, the Steam Bird newspaper, in which Mona writes her column, also originates from Fontaine. This indicates a developed network of correspondents around the world.

So far, only one city is known - Petrikor. He was mentioned by Xavier in the task "Tatar's Tales". From the city should open a view of a huge waterfall.

There are quite a few non-playable characters from Fontaine that players have already met:
