What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Dive 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 is a place shrouded in ancient secrets and home to a sacred city that has been dormant for centuries. With magma simmering beneath the surface, your mission is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery of the Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values strength and fitness as a way of life.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa is a 5-star Electro Catalyst user with a unique ability to restore Phlogiston after consuming food, making her an exceptional support character outside of combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, offers a blend of offensive and supportive 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, you'll have the chance to obtain Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns of Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:

By participating in this event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon to your team for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. Make sure to download the latest version from the Google Play Store to experience all these thrilling updates.
