Genshin Impact's recent Special Program revealed exciting details about upcoming characters, including the highly anticipated Natlan character, Ifa.  This reveal offers a glimpse into his appearance, element, and potential release window, generating buzz among players.

The livestream showcased Ifa's unique design, featuring a tall male model, silver-blue hair, and a blend of technological and cowboy-inspired attire.  He will be the first playable Anemo character to utilize this particular body type, adding a fresh dynamic to the game's roster.

The storyline identifies Ifa as a skilled Saurian veterinarian from the Flower-Feather Clan, accompanied by his assistant, Cacucu, a grumpy Qucusaurus.  This connection to Saurians may hint at unique in-game interactions exclusive to the Pyro nation.

While Ifa's rarity remains unconfirmed, many hope for a five-star addition. Further information, including potential gameplay mechanics, will likely surface during his beta testing phase.

Ifa's release is projected for version 5.6, estimated to launch around May 7th. However, he won't be part of the 5.5 update, which introduces two new characters: Varesa and Iansan.

Genshin Impact 5.5 will feature Varesa and Iansan, members of the Collective of Plenty, a tribe known for their strength. They are set to debut in the first banner cycle, launching around March 26th.

Interestingly, despite being Varesa's mentor, Iansan will be a four-star character, while Varesa has been confirmed as a five-star. Their shared banner simplifies acquisition for players eager to add both to their teams.
