Kaeya's new skin "Sailwind Shadow"

This skin, called "Sailwind Shadow", is considered a 4-star outfit and will not have any additional properties, effects, or animations besides its great look. Upon teleporting into the world of Veruliyam Mirage in "Secret Summer Paradise", you may have noticed a glowing balloon floating just a few steps away. By touching these Voucher Boxes, you can obtain Joyeux Vouchers, the event currency used to acquire valuable rewards in 3.8, including Kaeya's highly-coveted "Sailwind Sailor" skin!

You can also obtain these Joyeux Vouchers by completing Choo-Choo Cart challenges, opening Fascinating Chests and regular treasure chests, solving puzzles and time trials, and interacting with Water Droplets during the event.

Once you have collected 150 Joyeux Vouchers, you'll be able to redeem a free copy of Kaeya's "Sailwind Sailor" skin!

Joyeux Vouchers are scattered around Veruliyam Mirage, making it challenging to locate them all. To assist you in your quest to obtain the new Kaeya skin, we have prepared a comprehensive "All 20 Joyeux Voucher Box Locations in Genshin Impact" guide!

And if you do not have time to get this skin, you will still have the opportunity to purchase it later with currency, namely 1680 Genesis Crystals.

We also want to draw your attention to how stylish the new skin will be. Instead of tousled hair, you can now see a neatly made braid, and the outerwear, along with the new white pants, will now have gold jewellery, which greatly enriches the overall look of the character.
