Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Details About Natlan's Pyro Archon
New information has surfaced regarding one of Genshin Impact's most anticipated characters: Natlan's Pyro Archon. The Archons, or The Seven, are powerful deities overseeing Teyvat's seven regions. Each Archon possesses a unique regional affiliation, elemental association, and divine principles. Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, recently joined the playable roster, and with Natlan's imminent release, speculation surrounding its Pyro Archon is intensifying.
Natlan, confirmed as the next major region in Genshin Impact update 5.0, is known as the Pyro nation. Therefore, the arrival of its Archon is highly anticipated. Reliable leaker, Uncle K, has offered insights into the Archon's lore and in-game capabilities. The leaked storyline reportedly involves an event that "angers Apep," one of Sumeru's seven legendary Elemental Dragons, hinting at a possible geographical connection between Natlan and Sumeru.
Pyro Archon Abilities and Potential Release Date
Uncle K's leaks suggest the Pyro Archon will possess potent on-field and off-field abilities, a common trait among Archons. Similar to Raiden Shogun, maximizing the character's potential may require Constellation levels of at least 2. One ability is expected to enhance the entire team's survivability, while the C6 effect will provide a team-wide buff.
While these leaks are promising, it's crucial to remember that Natlan's leader likely won't be playable for at least three to four months. HoYoverse has established a pattern of releasing new Archons two updates after a new major region's debut (Nahida in 3.2 and Furina in 4.2).
The Archon's identity remains uncertain. Genshin Impact's storyline confirms the existence of at least two Pyro Archons, one named Murata. Whether Murata is the past or present Archon is currently unknown. Mondstadt's legendary warrior, Vennessa, belonged to the "children of Murata" tribe, but this connection is ancient, with the tribe having long since lost its historical ties to Murata.
