Genshin Impact Version 5.0 will introduce three new characters, a recent leak reveals. This reliable leak, originating from a trusted Genshin Impact source (FouL), specifies their weapon types, rarities, and elements. While Natlan, the upcoming region, has been relatively quiet regarding leaks compared to Sumeru and Fontaine, this information offers valuable insight for gacha players.
The leak confirms the addition of:
- A 5-Star male Dendro Claymore user.
- A 5-Star female Hydro Catalyst user.
- A 4-Star female Geo Polearm user.
This corroborates earlier speculation about Natlan's initial character lineup, suggesting a pair of 5-Star Catalyst users and a single 5-Star Claymore user. The Dendro Claymore character is a welcome addition, given Kaveh is currently the only one of his kind. The Hydro Catalyst, however, is less surprising considering existing characters like Kokomi, Mona, Barbara, and Neuvillette. The 4-Star Geo Polearm character might be Iansan, a Natlan fighter featured in a previous teaser. However, many believe Iansan will be one of the anticipated 5-Star Catalyst users, potentially debuting in Version 5.1.
Further leaks suggest only one 5-Star character will be released in each of Versions 5.1 and 5.2, though specifics remain undisclosed. Natlan is anticipated to enhance certain Cryo and Hydro characters, such as Shenhe, Ayato, and possibly Emilie (Version 4.8). Version 5.0 is slated for a late August 2024 release, with official previews of Natlan and its characters expected soon.
