What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to explore the southwestern part of Natlan, where a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and fresh faces await. The Great Volcano of Tollan harbors ancient secrets and a slumbering sacred city, offering a thrilling backdrop to unravel the mystery behind the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One. Amidst the rumbling magma, you'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates strength and fitness as a way of life.
Two new playable characters will enrich your roster in Genshin Impact Version 5.5: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique support role by restoring Phlogiston post-food consumption, enhancing your team outside of combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, balances offense and support. She gains the Warming Up effect upon a teammate's Nightsoul Burst, enabling continuous healing.
In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan, alongside Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Dive into the excitement by watching the official trailer below.
