Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Brings Us New Surprises - New Areas, Characters And Events

Genshin Impact has announced the new regions added in the 5.5 update. In addition, this update also brings a lot of interesting new content to players, including new characters, new weapons, new events, and more. After the update, players can accumulate resources and improve their strength by participating in this limited-time event.

Here are the new contents added in version 5.5.

New Sub-region

A trailer was released in Special Program of Genshin Impact, showing the new sub-region unlocked in the 5.5 update.

The new area will be located in the southwest of Natlan. Players must first meet the members of Collective of Plenty before going to Great Volcano of Tollan. Collective of Plenty is the latest and last unannounced tribe in Natlan, so many players are looking forward to it. As can be seen in the trailer, the new area will have many floating islands, and players may need to use Phlogiston to move between them.

Natlan this long-awaited part features Great Volcano of Tollan, one of the most iconic landmarks of Pyro tribe. Official news also revealed that the volcano may have environmental effects, which has sparked heated discussions among players. The most popular speculation is that this environmental effect may be achieved by completing new quests.

New Characters

Version 5.5 also brings two new characters, Iansan and Varesa. They will appear together with Xianyun, a favorite character of players who like Liyue. Players who like them should prepare enough Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals to obtain them!

Iansan

Iansan is a fitness guru. Her rarity is only four stars, which disappointed some players because she appeared in the game’s trailer a long time ago. But her strength is still very impressive. As an Electro Polearm character, Iansan is very suitable as an Electro Support. Her normal attack is Weighted Spike, elemental skill is Thunderbolt Rush, and elemental burst is called Three Principles of Power.

She can also gain Nightsoul Points by moving other active characters besides her, which means that fast-moving DPS characters can use this to gain greater benefits. It also allows her to be used in a flexible team combination by players, and can complete tasks more efficiently during activities.

Varesa

Varesa is a fast and furious masked hero, a five-star character, and her main source of attack damage is her Plunging Attacks-Plunge Opportunities can be obtained through normal attacks By the Horns, which makes Varesa more convenient. At the same time, this skill also allows her to use her charged attack and jump into the air to directly perform a jumping attack.

In addition, Varesa’s elemental skill is Riding Night-Rainbow, and her elemental burst is Guardian Vent. When holding an elemental skill, Varesa dashes forward and is able to break obstacles, jump, and walk across water, making it a splendid choice when exploring Natlan.

New Events

As always, this update also has new events for players to look forward to. Players can get rewards by participating in these limited-time events, including weapon materials, as well as Genesis Crystals, etc., using these resources to enhance the strength of characters and weapons.
