Iansan, a familiar figure in the Genshin Impact universe, shares her insights on Varesa:
"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!"
In addition to Varesa, update 5.5 will also feature Iansan, who transitions from an NPC to a fully playable character. This 4-star Electro user wields a Polearm, bringing her training expertise to the battlefield. Her addition is a delightful surprise for those who have followed her journey in the game.

Varesa's admiration for Iansan shines through as she describes her mentor:
"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 the introduction of these new characters, update 5.5 promises to bring fresh dynamics and exciting gameplay to Genshin Impact. Players are encouraged to stay tuned for more details and prepare to welcome Varesa and Iansan into their teams.
