New Exploration: A Journey to the Great Volcano of Tollan

For quite some time, Natlan has been veiled in enigma, but with the advent of Version 5.5, that’s all set to change. The Great Volcano of Tollan, steeped in history and reverberating with sacred importance, is now ready for examination. Buried deep within its fiery heart lies a holy city constructed by the Dragonborn, poised to be stirred from slumber by the rumbling magma beneath.

The Blessing of Flamelord and the Mystery of the Small One are set to deliver thrilling plot advancements, and I’m eagerly anticipating discovering what HoYoverse has prepared for us. There’s just something about long-lost civilizations and ancient power that really piques my interest!

New Playable Characters and Re-Runs

Varesa: 5-Star Electro Catalyst user

Varesa is a character known for her exceptional use of the Electro Catalyst, showcasing a distinct approach to combat primarily focused on Plunging Attacks. When she enters her Fiery Passion state, her Electro damage is amplified and she gains access to an Elemental Burst at a reduced energy cost. Notably, after the party consumes food, Varesa has the ability to replenish Phlogiston.

Her tales suggest a playful character with a warrior spirit in combat yet relaxed demeanor in daily routines. I have no doubt she’ll become a beloved figure among fans!

Iansan: 4-Star Electro Polearm

At long last, the highly anticipated four-star Electro Polearm wielder, Iansan, has arrived! She’s not merely a formidable combatant, but also an exceptional attack booster and healer. Her Elemental Burst enhances the attack power of the on-field character, even when she is off the field. Moreover, her buffs grow stronger with movement. Thus, swift-moving teams will greatly appreciate her supportive potential!

Additionally, it’s worth noting that she can heal: by activating a Nightsoul Burst, she gradually restores the health of the current character. To add to her charm, Iansan is one of Natlan’s six heroes and coaches Varesa, making her even more appealing!

Re-runs and Chronicled Wish

In the initial phase of Update 5.5’s Event Wishes, you’ll see the debut of characters Varesa and Iansan, as well as a re-run of Xianyun. Following this, we have planned re-runs for characters Xilonen and Venti in the latter half of the update. This lineup offers something exciting for every player!

Bloomflower Trials Return and The Saurian Treasure Seeker Event

The much-anticipated “Bloomflower Trials” by Natlan are back! Players will team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other companions in this heartwarming competition aimed at assisting Saurians battling a unique illness. There’s nothing quite like an event that embodies compassion and unity!

In addition to that, t

New Boss and Gameplay Optimizations

Get ready, as a fresh leader emerges from the heart of the volcano – the Dragon Statue Made of Lava. If past dragon battles are any indication, this could mean a thrilling, blazing confrontation that will challenge our reactions and tactics to the limit.

Speaking of system enhancements, HoYoverse is working on optimizing Artifact leveling. From now on, using Sanctifying Elixirs will assure at least two upgrades to the selected Minor Affixes. This change should make the continuous leveling process feel more gratifying in the long run!

The upcoming Version 5.5 is looking like one of the most thrilling upgrades we’ve had in a while. It features an expansive new volcanic area, eagerly anticipated characters, charming Saurians, and towering new challenges – there’s something to excite everyone.
