What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to venture into the southwestern expanse of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, the Collective of Plenty, and explore the awe-inspiring Great Volcano of Tollan. This area harbors ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city, ripe for exploration. As you navigate the magma-laden terrain, you'll unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One.
The Collective of Plenty, known for their dedication to physical prowess, will introduce you to a culture where strength is celebrated through various challenges.
Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the Genshin Impact universe: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers a unique support role by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing your team's capabilities outside of combat.
Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, brings a blend of offensive and supportive abilities. Her "Warming Up" effect, triggered by a teammate's Nightsoul Burst, allows her to provide continuous healing to the team.
The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan alongside Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out the exciting lineup below:

In this update, you'll join forces with Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan to aid a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures, with the chance to invite Ororon for free upon participation.
For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update when it becomes available.
