Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Leaks: Iansan and Varesa Characters Revealed

Overview of Genshin Impact Version 5.5

Iansan and Varesa are set to make their entrance in Genshin Impact Version 5.5.
Leaked information indicates Iansan will be a 4-Star character wielding a Polearm, while Varesa will be a 5-Star Catalyst.
Speculation regarding Varesa’s potential Electro element affiliation has sparked community interest.

Recent updates from reliable sources within the Genshin Impact community have confirmed exciting news: Iansan, a 4-Star Polearm user, will soon join the ranks of playable characters alongside Varesa, a 5-Star Catalyst. Ever since Iansan was first introduced back in 2020, expectation for her eventual in-game debut has been building. Although she enjoyed prominence during the Interlude of Version 5.2, fans have been eager for more depth to her story, especially following the Archon Quest developments.

The upcoming Version 5.5 is set to unveil the Collective of Plenty, which will allow players to explore a variety of new gameplay mechanics, including the inclusion of all six Saurian forms. This will grant players the opportunity to acquire the Tatankasaurus ability either through indwelling or by including Varesa or Iansan in their party. While Varesa herself has yet to make an in-game appearance, her character was teased during HoYoverse’s livestream for Version 5.3, generating further anticipation.

As reported by Uncle Teyvat, both Iansan and Varesa will be added to the Genshin Impact character roster in the upcoming version. With Iansan confirmed as a 4-Star Polearm wielding character and Varesa as a 5-Star Catalyst, players are eager to learn more. Interestingly, while Uncle Teyvat did not definitively classify Varesa as an Electro character, many in the community speculate her elemental affiliation to be so, based on previous leaks. Notably, earlier reports suggested that Iansan would also be an Electro Polearm user.

Following a trend, Varesa will be the fourth Catalyst introduced in succession, joining the likes of Citlali, Lan Yan, and Mizuki. While further details regarding their abilities remain under wraps, there is an expectation that Version 5.5 will launch alongside two new Artifact Sets, enhancing gameplay depth. Moreover, the Great Volcano of Tollan is not the final region expansion for Natlan, with Mare Jivari still expected to launch in the future.

The Genshin community has expressed mixed reactions about Iansan being designated as a 4-Star character, especially given her popularity among fans. There is a palpable sense of confusion about HoYoverse’s decision to feature the lesser-known Varesa as a 5-Star character within the Collective of Plenty narrative. As beta testing approaches for Version 5.5, players will soon uncover the reasoning behind these character choices.
