What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to delve deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan holds ancient secrets and a sacred city that has been dormant for ages. As you navigate this fiery landscape, you'll need to uncover the mysteries behind the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic "Little One." Along the way, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and strength challenges as a way of life.
Two new playable characters, Varesa and Iansan, will join the roster in Genshin Impact Version 5.5. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support outside of battle by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support capabilities. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, allowing her to provide continuous healing.
In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, Varesa and Iansan will be available alongside Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out these exciting additions below:
