HoYoverse’s planned bug fixes for Genshin Impact version 7.3 could change how the recently released five-star character Mitya targets enemies. The adjustment has drawn strong criticism from players after it appeared in issue notes connected to version 7.2, according to Insider Gaming.
The reported change concerns Mitya’s range and enemy tracking when targets are positioned behind him. During consecutive special Charged Attacks, the character can currently redirect attacks toward enemies behind him when the game automatically adjusts his attack direction. HoYoverse has listed behavior related to that interaction among the fixes planned for version 7.3.
What the reported fix changes
Insider Gaming said the Mitya-related paragraph appeared at the end of the bug-fix information posted on HoYoLAB and Miyoushe. Unlike the other entries, it was not presented in the same format as the listed bugs, which led some players to interpret the change as a reduction to the character’s effectiveness rather than a routine correction.
- The change is tied to Mitya’s enemy range and tracking behavior.
- Consecutive special Charged Attacks may no longer connect with enemies behind the character in the same circumstances.
- The adjustment is associated with Genshin Impact version 7.3, while the reported issue was discussed alongside version 7.2 notes.
Mitya has already been the subject of debate over his power level and comparisons with characters such as Yae Miko and Danica. Insider Gaming reported that the latest controversy is less about whether Mitya is a weaker character and more about the effect of changing an interaction after his release. The outlet also said that the Chinese community was among the first to draw international attention to the wording of the reported fix.
Reaction to the HoYoLAB and Miyoushe post
The post on Miyoushe had attracted more than 83,000 comments, Insider Gaming reported. Some players alleged that comments were being deleted, although that allegation was not presented as a confirmed action by HoYoverse. The response has been particularly visible among Chinese players, who reportedly raised the issue before it spread to the wider Genshin Impact community.
For players in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, the reported change matters because it concerns a character interaction that would apply to the global game if HoYoverse implements it in version 7.3. The supplied reports do not identify a separate regional rollout, local schedule, or compensation plan. At this stage, the adjustment should therefore be treated as a reported upcoming fix rather than a confirmed final balance decision beyond the version 7.3 notes described by Insider Gaming.
