Excitement is brewing in the world of Genshin Impact as the developers have begun teasing a new character for the highly anticipated update 5.5!

Iansan, a familiar face in the game, describes Varesa with these words:
"Varesa, my most peculiar student… No one matches her easygoing, carefree nature. No matter where she travels, she’s like a child on an adventure—always searching for delicious treats or a cozy spot to rest... But beware! If you ever fight Abyss monsters with her, the moment she gets into the zone, she turns into an unstoppable force!"
Alongside Varesa, another character is making her debut in update 5.5: Iansan! Previously known only as an NPC, Iansan is now stepping into the spotlight as a playable character. She is a 4-star Electro user who wields a Polearm, bringing her unique skills to the battlefield.

Varesa shares her admiration for Iansan:
"Iansan is Natlan’s top trainer and the person I admire the most! People say I’m talented, but without her training, that talent would have gone to waste. Don’t worry if you’re not used to working out—Coach Iansan knows how to train anyone! Oh, by the way, wanna check out this flyer? She’s recruiting new students!"
With these exciting additions, update 5.5 promises to bring fresh dynamics and thrilling gameplay to Genshin Impact. Stay tuned for more details as the release date approaches!
