Recent leaks suggest that the Genshin Impact 5.5 main event will focus on characters from Natlan, bringing the Pyro nation’s story back into the spotlight. 

One big highlight is Kachina, a 4-star Geo character who’s set to play a major role. Plus, there’s a brand-new 5-star character, Varesa, joining the game. And after a long wait, Iansan might finally make an appearance as a 4-star unit. 

Let’s break down these leaks and see what they could mean for Travelers in Teyvat.

Leaked Information on Version 5.5 Main Event

According to a recent leak on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.5 main event will bring in characters from the Natlan region, just like earlier rumors suggested. 

Since the main story is heading back to the Pyro nation, this makes a lot of sense. The event will have three different parts, with some characters showing up throughout the whole thing and others only appearing in certain sections. 

Here are all the characters involved in the event, specifying their participation across the three parts:​

  • 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 parts)
  • Varesa (1/3 parts)
  • Xilonen (1/3 parts

One interesting detail is that Kachina, a 4-star Geo character, will be part of all three parts, which means she might play a big role in the story. 

Varesa, a new 5-star, is set to debut with her mentor, Iansan. Iansan is a 4-star Electro polearm user and a well-known fitness instructor from Natlan’s Collective of Plenty tribe. 

With these new characters in the mix, the event isn’t just about the story—it’s also bringing fresh gameplay for players to enjoy.

New Character: Ifa

Recent leaks suggest that Genshin Impact 5.5 main event will introduce a new character, Ifa, a respected Saurian veterinarian from the Flower-Feather Clan. 

Although he has yet to appear in the game, various Natlan characters have referenced him in the storyline. Players will have the opportunity to obtain a free copy of Ororon, which may indicate Ifa’s involvement in the event. 

Reports suggest that he will be a 4-star character specializing in bow combat. Known for his relaxed and approachable nature, as well as his unique ability to communicate with Saurians, he may introduce innovative pet-based mechanics to the game.

Genshin 5.5 Release Dates and Banner Information

Genshin Impact 5.5 update is expected to drop on March 26, 2025, right after Version 5.4’s Phase 2 ends. 

Leaks suggest that the first banner will bring Varesa, a brand-new 5-star Electro catalyst user, alongside Xianyun, an Anemo catalyst user. 

Later in the update, fans can look forward to reruns of Xilonen, a Geo sword user, and Venti, the Anemo Archon known for his bow skills. 

There’s also talk that Iansan, a fresh 4-star Electro polearm user, will be on rate-up during this patch.
