while playing genshin impact with a friend recently, i realized there were so many gliders that i just knew nothing about! in-game, genshin only shows you the gliders you’re able to unlock through reputation, they don’t show all of the gliders that were unlocked through other ways or as rewards for different things. i figured it would be fun to compile a post that showed off every single glider in the game! some of these you can’t even unlock anymore :,)
... Read moreHey fellow travelers! You know that feeling when you spot another player gliding around with wings you’ve never seen before? It’s happened to me so many times, and it got me thinking about all the cool, sometimes super rare, gliders tucked away in Genshin Impact. The game itself only highlights the reputation ones, but there's a whole world of unique wings out there, some of which are now impossible to get, sadly!
Let’s dive into some of the most sought-after and iconic gliders you might be curious about, especially those that pop up in conversations and searches. Collecting these isn't just about utility; it's about showcasing your journey and dedication in Teyvat!
The Exclusive Few: Wings of Descension & Wings of Companionship
Starting with a couple of classics, the Wings of Descension are a prime example of an exclusive glider. If you’re a PlayStation player, you might have snagged these sleek, black and blue wings early on. They were a special reward for linking your Genshin account on a PlayStation console. For those on other platforms, seeing these is a cool reminder of early game exclusives! Then there are the Wings of Companionship, which are the default wings most of us start our adventures with. Simple, yet they hold a special place as our very first set, guiding us through countless explorations.
Reputation Rewards: Wings of Azure Wind, Stormstrider, Soaring Flame, Transient Dreams, and Merciful, Wrathful Waters
As you travel across Teyvat, building reputation in each region unlocks a unique set of wings. The Wings of Azure Wind are Mondstadt’s elegant offering, symbolizing freedom. Liyue gifts us the majestic Wings of the Stormstrider, perfect for soaring over jagged peaks. Inazuma, with its lightning-fast spirit, offers the striking Wings of Soaring Flame. Sumeru, the land of wisdom, grants the intricate Wings of Transient Dreams, often sought after for their beautiful design. And most recently, Fontaine introduces the stunning Wings of Merciful, Wrathful Waters, reflecting its hydro-nation aesthetic. These are a fantastic way to display your regional mastery!
Event & Collaboration Rarities: Wings of Feasting, Shimmering Galaxy, and Fate's Course Intertwined
Some gliders are truly one-of-a-kind, tied to limited-time events and real-world collaborations. The Wings of Feasting were a collaboration with KFC, an unexpected but delightful crossover that brought us some delicious in-game items and these unique wings. Similarly, the Wings of Delicacies from Prime Gaming offered another chance to grab some food-themed flight gear. The Wings of Shimmering Galaxy are perhaps one of the most visually stunning, awarded during the Genshin Impact Concerts. These wings truly glow and make a statement! More recently, the Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined were a special reward from the Version 4.0 event, an elegant design that many players rushed to obtain. Other notable ones include the Wings of Golden Flight, sometimes appearing during anniversary events, and the Wings of the Starlit Feast from various collaborations. These limited-time items really emphasize that if you see a cool glider, grab it while you can!
There are also the slightly less common ones like the Wings of the Forest (another Sumeru-related one) and the Wings of Concealing Snow, which have appeared through other in-game methods or special events. Keeping an eye out for game announcements and patch notes is key if you're a completionist like me! Every glider tells a story, a memory of an event or an achievement in our Genshin Impact journey. Happy collecting, and happy gliding!
