Genshin Impact 5.5 Main Event: Latest Important Leaks and News

Overview of Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Updates

The upcoming Version 5.5 of Genshin Impact will prominently feature characters from the enigmatic Natlan region.
Players can anticipate the introduction of numerous characters including Kachina, Mavuika, and Mualani.
A new 5-star character, Varesa, as well as a 4-star character, Iansan, will debut in the next update’s banner cycle.

Recent leak information has uncovered intriguing details regarding character appearances slated for the main event in the soon-to-be-released Version 5.5 of Genshin Impact. Each update typically introduces a signature event, containing a series of limited-time quests that reward players with characters, weapons, and precious Primogems.

Currently, Version 5.4 showcases the flagship event known as Enchanted Tales of the Mikawa Festival, set in the beloved Inazuma region. Participants in this event can earn the new 4-star polearm, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi, alongside gains in its refinement through fulfilling various objectives.

Interestingly, even as the Version 5.4 event continues, leaks have already begun to surface about the forthcoming flagship event for Version 5.5. A recent discussion on Reddit highlighted that multiple characters from Natlan will feature in this flagship event. This revelation supports earlier leaks indicating that the game’s narrative will revisit the Pyro nation following the explorations of Liyue and Inazuma in previous updates. The leaked information also outlines that the event will unfold in three segments, with select characters making appearances across the entire duration while others will attend only specific parts.

List of Characters for the Version 5.5 Main Event

Kachina (3/3 parts)
Mavuika (2/3 parts)
Mualani (2/3 parts)
Iansan (2/3 parts)
Ororon (2/3 parts)
Chasca (2/3 parts)
Citlali (2/3 parts)
Kinich (2/3 parts)
Ajaw (1/3 part)
Varesa (1/3 parts)
Xilonen (1/3 parts)

Additionally, there’s mention of an undisclosed character speculated to be Ifa, acknowledged within the main storyline. Ifa is known as a prominent Saurian veterinarian affiliated with the Flower-Feather Clan and serves as a good friend to Ororon from Genshin Impact, potentially symbolizing the distribution of a free copy of Ororon during the event.

Evidence from leaks confirms that Kachina, a 4-star Geo user, will play a significant role throughout all three event segments—more so than the Pyro Archon or Varesa, the new 5-star character set for introduction. Iansan, also making his debut, has been anticipated since he was first hinted at in earlier story previews.

With Varesa confirmed as a 5-star character and Iansan likely being a 4-star unit, their release aligns with HoYoverse’s anticipated update schedule. Players speculate that Varesa will launch with the first banner cycle, expected around March 26. There is hope that both Varesa and Iansan will be available in the same banner phase, allowing players a greater opportunity to acquire both characters.
