Exploring the World of Arkhe: A Look at the Pneuma and Ousia Characters in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact offers a diverse array of characters, enemies, interactive puzzles, and mechanics. Each nation within the game presents distinct mechanics, centered around the Seven’s powers or other innovative sources.

The Hydro nation brought about the addition of a new mechanic in the game known as the Arkhe System. This system includes two new powers, Pneuma and Ousia, which can be found within every Fontainian entity. Before we say goodbye to the Hydro nation, let us take a closer look at all the characters possessing Pneuma and Ousia abilities.

All Pneuma and Ousia Arkhe Characters in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, there are 13 Fontaine characters who adhere to the Arkhe System. Among them, Lyney, Charlotte, Traveler (Hydro), Freminet, Neuvillette, and Emilie possess Pneuma abilities, while Lynette, Navia, Wriothesley, Sigewinne, Clorinde, and Chevreuse possess Ousia abilities. The only character who can wield both powers at the same time is Furina, the Hydro Archon.

In Fontaine, Pneuma and Ousia are two opposing forms of energy that exist independently from the seven elements found in Teyvat. Characters from Fontaine who are able to be played can utilize the Arkhe System to tap into Pneuma and Ousia.

The combination of Pneuma and Ousia can be utilized to solve puzzles and defeat unique enemies in both Fontaine and combat scenarios.
