What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Prepare to explore deeper into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a towering volcano, and intriguing new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan, with its ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city, awaits your discovery. As you navigate the rumbling magma beneath, unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma known as the Little One. Along this journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe dedicated to fitness and strength challenges as a way of life.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the roster: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support capabilities by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing your team's performance outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, blends offense with support. She gains the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, enabling continuous healing for your team.

During the first phase of Version 5.5’s Event Wishes, you'll have the opportunity to add Varesa and Iansan to your team, along with a rerun of Xianyun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out these exciting additions below:

Participating in this event grants you the chance to invite Ororon to your team for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits within the volcanic fissures. Get ready to download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update when it becomes available.
