Genshin Impact Leak Teases Version 5.0 Characters

Genshin Impact Version 5.0: New Character Leaks Reveal Weapon Types and Elements

Version 5.0 of Genshin Impact is bringing two new characters, and a recent leak has unveiled their weapon types, rarities, and elements. While leaks about the Natlan region have been scarce compared to the wealth of information surrounding Sumeru and Fontaine, some details have emerged from unofficial sources. These leaks suggest a level cap increase to 100, the introduction of Xbalanque (potentially a powerful immortal being), and a Pyro Archon with a unique design.

For players focused on the gacha system, a reliable Genshin Impact leaker, FouL, has provided crucial information about Version 5.0's new characters. The leak points to three new additions: a 5-Star male Dendro Claymore user, a 5-Star female Hydro Catalyst user, and a 4-Star female Geo Polearm user. This corroborates earlier leaks suggesting Natlan's initial patches would introduce two 5-Star Catalyst users and one 5-Star Claymore user.

Version 5.0 Character Summary:

• 5-Star Male Dendro Claymore user
• 5-Star Female Hydro Catalyst user
• 4-Star Female Geo Polearm user

The addition of a 5-Star Dendro Claymore user is exciting, especially given that Kaveh is currently the only character with that combination. However, the Hydro Catalyst user is less surprising, given the existing roster of Hydro Catalyst characters like Kokomi, Mona, Barbara, and Neuvillette. The 4-Star Geo Polearm character might be Iansan, introduced in a previous Travail teaser. However, many believe Iansan will be one of the anticipated 5-Star Catalyst users, potentially debuting in Version 5.1.

Separate leaks suggest Versions 5.1 and 5.2 will each introduce only one 5-Star character, though specifics remain unclear. Natlan is anticipated to enhance certain Cryo and Hydro characters like Shenhe, Ayato, and potentially Emilie from Version 4.8. Version 5.0 is expected to launch in late August 2024, with an official preview of Natlan and its characters likely arriving soon.
