What Awaits in Genshin Impact Version 5.5?
Venture deep into Natlan's southwest, encountering a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and exciting new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan, a location steeped in ancient secrets and home to a long-dormant sacred city, awaits exploration. Unravel the mysteries surrounding the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One amidst the rumbling magma. You'll also meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that has woven strength challenges into their very way of life.
Two new playable characters join the roster: the 5-star Electro Catalyst user, Varesa, and the 4-star Electro Polearm wielder, Iansan. Varesa offers unique support capabilities outside of battle, restoring Phlogiston after consuming food. Iansan, one of Natlan's six heroes, blends offensive and supportive roles, gaining the Warming Up effect and providing continuous healing when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst.
Version 5.5's Event Wishes will initially feature Varesa and Iansan alongside a Xianyun rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Explore the details of these additions below.
