Genshin Impact's developers are generating excitement with the announcement of a new character coming in update 5.5! While miHoYo (HoYoverse) may be a bit behind the curve with their official reveals, the community has already been buzzing with leaks about Varesa's concept art and gameplay.
This time, the spotlight is firmly on Varesa, who's not just another leaked character but an officially confirmed addition to the game. She is set to be a 5-star Electro character, wielding a Catalyst to unleash her powers in battle.

Iansan, who has a deep connection with Varesa, describes her with affection:
"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!"
Joining Varesa in the 5.5 update is Iansan, who transitions from a mere NPC to a fully playable character. Iansan steps into the game as a 4-star Electro user, wielding a Polearm to showcase her skills.

Varesa's admiration for Iansan is clear in her words:
"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!"
