Iansan, Varesa's mentor, offers an intriguing perspective on her:

"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, update 5.5 will also introduce Iansan as a playable character. Previously an NPC, Iansan is now stepping into the spotlight as a 4-star Electro user wielding a Polearm. Her transformation from a background character to a playable one is a testament to HoYoverse's commitment to evolving their game's universe.

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!"

These new characters promise to bring unique abilities and exciting backstories to Genshin Impact, enhancing the gameplay experience and deepening the lore of Teyvat. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the release of version 5.5!
