Genshin Impact’s Manekin in Miliastra Wonderland: How to Switch, Customize, and Maximize Your Event Rewards
Genshin Impact’s Miliastra Wonderland event injects a new layer of creativity and personalization into the game’s ever-expanding content. With the introduction of Manekin avatars—customizable stand-ins for mini-game competitions—players now have even more control over how they present themselves in-game. But confusion around switching between Manekins, customization, and naming persists. Here’s how to navigate every aspect efficiently, especially if you’re looking to optimize rewards during this event period.
At a Glance: Miliastra Wonderland Manekin System (as of Patch 5.x)
- Available Patch: Patch 5.x (Verify latest patch notes for global servers.)
- Event: Miliastra Wonderland
- Characters: 2 Manekin Avatars (customizable; often presented as “Manekin” [♂] and “Manekina” [♀])
- Switching: Both versions unlockable, switchable at any time after configuration
- Customization: Extensive—hair, outfit, and name—one renaming allowed per Manekin
- Element: Manekin’s Element follows your current Traveler’s Element
- Primary Function: Represent players in mini-games and activities exclusive to Miliastra Wonderland
How to Unlock and Switch Manekin Avatars
All players start Miliastra Wonderland by choosing one Manekin to design. Unlike some one-time picks in Genshin, you can unlock and switch to the other Manekin at any point during the event period. Here’s the full process:
Step-by-Step: Switching Between Manekin
- Unlocking Both Manekins:
- After creating your first Manekin, go to the Cosmetic Plans menu (look for the clothes hanger icon).
- On the right side, just below the window’s “X” (close) button, locate the dual-Manekin switcher icon.
- Select it. If the second Manekin slot is unconfigured, you’ll be prompted to create a new Manekin plan. No time limit applies—do this when ready.
- Switching:
- Once you have both avatars configured, swapping is instant via the same Cosmetic Plans interface.
- Customization:
- Each Manekin is separately customizable: appearance, accessories, and one rename (more below). Changing Manekin does not reset any prior customizations.
Visual aid suggestion: Display a screenshot of the Cosmetic Plans interface with both Manekins shown, clearly highlighting the swap button for accessibility.
Which Miliastra Manekin Should You Choose First?
The choice between the two avatars in Miliastra Wonderland is purely cosmetic. Both Manekin versions have identical gameplay potential, and neither offers any advantage in terms of event points or rewards. Consider these tips when starting:
- For Role-Playing: Pick the Manekin whose look contrasts with your main Traveler for variety (i.e., pick Manekina if you use Aether, and vice versa).
- For Collectors: Unlock both for maximum customization options—no permanent consequences from your initial pick.
- For Efficiency: You’re free to delay configuring your second Manekin until you have a preferred style.
Elemental Alignment
- Manekin’s element always matches your Traveler’s current element (Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, etc.).
- Key difference: Unlike the Traveler, Manekin avatars do NOT gain new skill sets when you swap elements; only their elemental attribute changes in event mini-games. This matters for competitive modes where synergy or visual cues may play a role.
Naming Your Manekin: Rules & Limitations
- Each Manekin can be named once at creation.
- If you wish to change a Manekin’s name later, you need the specific Overwrite Key:
- Manekina (♀): Overwrite Key: Right
- Manekin (♂): Overwrite Key: Left
- You only get one rename per Manekin, so choose carefully; the system does not currently allow further changes unless otherwise updated in later patch notes.
F2P & Optimization Tips: Should You Spend Time on Miliastra Wonderland’s Manekin System?
For Free to Play / Low-Spend Players:
- No primogem cost: All Manekin switches and customizations are free and tied to event participation. There are no gacha elements for Manekin skins at this time.
- Rewards: Focus on mini-games and event tasks tied to Miliastra Wonderland, as these provide exclusive cosmetics, resources, and possible event-limited furnishings.
- Skip if: You do not care about avatar customization, as it is not required for progression or unlocking permanent 5-star units.
- Pull for: Enthusiasts interested in event rankings, limited cosmetics, or fully experiencing milestone events.
