What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to explore 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 through the magma-filled landscapes, you'll uncover the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and strength challenges as a way of life.
Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing her utility outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, allowing her to provide continuous healing.
The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, along with Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out the exciting additions below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
In this update, you'll encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to help a sick Saurian. A new mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. Participating in this event will allow you to invite Ororon for free.
On the challenge front, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. You can download the game from the Google Play Store and dive into this massive update once it's released.
