Get free Collei from the Spiral Abyss

From the very beginning, Xiangling was given away for free, as a reward for completing Spiral Abyss floor 3 chamber 3. Collei is now being given for free from the Spiral Abyss and it is Collei. HoYoverse has given away at least one character from every element for free. Since Dendro is a playable element that was released in the 3.0 Update, Collei was given for free as a reward for the Graven Innocence event.

However, that event was exclusive to 3.0 and is no longer available. Travelers who started playing recently do not need to worry, as there is now another way of obtaining a free copy of Collei, and it is by completing Spiral Abyss Floor 4 Chamber 3.

This event will be permanently available even after version 3.1. The eligibility for this event is Adventure Rank 20 and above.
