Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Details About Natlan's Pyro Archon
New details about Genshin Impact's upcoming Pyro Archon from Natlan have surfaced thanks to leaks. The Seven Archons, powerful gods overseeing Teyvat's regions, each represent a nation, element, and divine ideal. Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, recently joined the game, and speculation around Natlan's Pyro Archon is intensifying as the region's release nears with update 5.0.
Reliable Genshin Impact leaker, Uncle K, has offered insights into the Pyro Archon's story and abilities. The leak suggests the Archon's narrative will "anger Apep," one of Sumeru's legendary Elemental Dragons, hinting at a possible geographical connection between Natlan and Sumeru.
Pyro Archon Abilities and Release Date Predictions
Uncle K's leak indicates the Pyro Archon will possess potent on-field and off-field capabilities, a common trait among Archons. Similar to Raiden Shogun, maximizing the character's potential will likely require Constellation levels of at least 2. One ability is expected to enhance the entire team's survivability, and the C6 effect will provide a team-wide buff.
While these leaks should be treated cautiously, the Pyro Archon's arrival as a playable character is likely several months away, potentially three to four. HoYoverse's established pattern of releasing Archons two updates after a new region's debut (Nahida in 3.2, Furina in 4.2) suggests a similar timeframe.
The Pyro Archon's identity remains ambiguous. The main storyline confirms the existence of at least two Pyro Archons, one named Murata. The connection between Murata and Mondstadt's Vennessa, a warrior from the "children of Murata" tribe, adds to the mystery. However, the tribe's long history of separation suggests Murata may be a past Archon. Further information is needed to clarify whether Murata is the current or a former Archon.
