With the introduction of the Natlan region, Genshin Impact has kept players on their toes, unveiling at least one new five-star character per update. The most recent addition, Mizuki, made waves, and now, Ifa is set to join the roster in the near future. 🔥🎮
Meet Ifa: Natlan’s Latest Character Reveal 🎩✨
During HoYoverse’s recent Special Program livestream, the design of Ifa was revealed in all its glory. Ifa will boast a tall male model, complemented by silver-blue hair and a tech-inspired outfit that includes a stylish cowboy-style hat. His appearance is as intriguing as his background, and he will also be the first Anemo character to have this particular design and model type combination! 🌬️💨
Ifa’s character is described as a renowned Saurian veterinarian from the Flower-Feather Clan, making him a figure of significance in the Pyro nation. Fans were also treated to a glimpse of a bird-like creature floating alongside Ifa—likely Cacucu, his loyal Qucusaurus assistant. 🦖❤️ This pairing hints at Ifa’s deep connection to these unique creatures, which could lead to special interactions within the game. 🌿
Ifa’s Element: Anemo 🌬️
As revealed in the livestream, Ifa will wield the Anemo element, marking him as an exciting addition to the roster. His arrival will make him the first playable character in Genshin Impact with this specific element and model combination. His Anemo powers are sure to bring new dynamics to team compositions, and players are eager to discover how he will synergize with other characters in the game! 💨✨
What We Know About Ifa’s Story and Affiliation 📖
Ifa’s character is more than just a pretty face—he is a veterinarian for Saurians, showing a caring side in the dangerous world of Genshin Impact. His connection to Saurians is expected to offer players a unique opportunity to interact with these creatures, which are exclusive to the Pyro nation. His friendship with Ororon, another character from Natlan, also adds an emotional depth to his backstory, making Ifa a character to watch out for! 💖
While the official rarity of Ifa remains under wraps, fans are hopeful that he will join the ranks of five-star characters, adding even more value to his anticipated arrival. 🎯🌟
When Will Ifa Be Playable? Release Date and More 📅
Although Ifa won’t be joining the game in Genshin Impact version 5.5, players can expect him to make his grand debut in version 5.6. Based on HoYoverse’s update schedule, Genshin Impact 5.6 is expected to drop on May 7, 2025. 🗓️
As exciting as Ifa’s release is, fans are also eagerly anticipating the 5.5 update, which will feature Varesa and Iansan, two new characters that are set to appear in the Limited Character Banner. However, for those hoping to pull for Ifa in 5.5, it’s important to note that he will not be included in this update. 😔💔
Varesa and Iansan’s Banner: March 26 Launch 🎉
Varesa, the five-star Electro Catalyst character, and Iansan, her four-star Pyro Sword counterpart, will be the main attraction in the first banner cycle of Genshin Impact 5.5, launching on March 26. 🗓️💥 Players who wish to add both to their roster will have the chance to pull both characters on the same banner, increasing the chances of getting them without the need to summon separately. 🎯💎
