Iansan, a familiar face in the Genshin Impact universe, describes Varesa as:
"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!"
The excitement doesn't stop with Varesa. Joining her in update 5.5 is Iansan herself, who transitions from a beloved NPC to a playable character. As a 4-star Electro user wielding a Polearm, Iansan brings her own unique flair to the battlefield.

Varesa shares her admiration for Iansan, saying:
"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 these exciting new characters, update 5.5 promises to bring fresh dynamics and thrilling gameplay to Genshin Impact. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the release date!
